REVISIT the Learning Essentials

“My Teacher, My Hero” was a banner during the World Teacher’s Day celebration in
the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real heroes? What do you
think? Why?
My answer is YES! Here are my reasons.
Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers
To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve the
country just like any other hero. To be a teacher requires a lot of personal and
professional qualities. These qualities make an excellent Filipino teacher an
exceptional professional.
First, the teacher must have innate qualities that are exemplary and are fitted
to be teachers. These are natural tendencies of a person. Here are some of the
qualities and attributes that distinctly characterized a teacher.

personal qualities of the teacher you chose as your case? Why do you

teacher someday? ____________ why? Describe you self.

I believe I am cooperative because I am a kind person who is constantly

willing to lend a helping hand to others. I acknowledge that there are
obligations on my shoulders. This trait I believe will make me a better
teacher. A good teacher must be willing to assist kids in learning and
growing, as even modest gestures can have a significant impact.

REFLECT

Good teachers are role models, whether in school, at home or in the community.
From the teachers that you had in the elementary to college, did the personal
qualities that they possess, help you learn better as a student?
Yes, I believe that my unique personal qualities help in my academic
performance. I am inspired to work harder so that I may repay them for their efforts
by their traits, such as their willingness to embrace their responsibilities as a teacher
and assist us in learning and developing skills.

great impact in your life as a learner. Reflect and describe how quality influenced
you.
 Determined is a personal trait of my role model instructor, who had a significant
impact on my life as his student. Even though he is over 50 and has worked in
education for several years, she is still determined to inspire students and teach
them. Despite the numerous challenges he has faced along the way, he has never
given up and continues to do what he loves most being a teacher.

In the journey of life, various figures leave a lasting impression. But

among them, the role of a teacher is paramount. He is the architect of
young minds, the beacon of knowledge, and in my eyes a hero.

My teacher, a remarkable person, has been a constant source of

patience, and his ability to turn complex concepts into understandable
ideas are qualities that I admire deeply.

My teacher is my hero because they have shaped my life in countless
