The Qualities of a Truly Professional Teacher...By Brenda Townsend Hall
Have you ever wondered what the qualities of a really professional teacher are? I know that all teachers want their students to like them, but being liked isn't the be-all and end-all really, is it? I mean teachers have to make some unpopular decisions sometimes.
Teachers can be popular just because they are friendly and helpful, but to be truly professional and effective they need other qualities. Students may not be able to put their finger on just why one teacher is more effective than another but we need to be able to identify the skills and behavior we require in a true professional.
A professional teacher needs to be confident without being arrogant. Nobody can expect to have all the answers, so if a student asks a real stinker, the professional teacher should be able to admit defeat but offer to find out more for the student. And they must carry that promise out.
Proper preparation is another crucial requirement of professionalism. When the teacher enters the classroom s/he should have all the required materials and the lesson plan ready. Nothing is more sloppy than poor preparation.
Interaction with the group needs professional standards of behavior: polite, firm and fair just about sum it up. And in orchestrating the class the teacher must give everyone their chance to contribute and should be flexible enough to modify lessons if they are obviously not going to plan. Indeed a fall-back position is part of good planning.
It stands to reason also that teacher must observe punctuality and appropriate tidiness and dress: it is not possible to demand such behavior from students if the teacher doesn’t set the standards. Indeed I can remember occasions on which students have complained to me about “scruffy” teachers.
The last thing I would mention is that teachers should be able to feel that their professionalism entitles them to back-up from the school directors. If a teacher has a problem class or student then the school should have procedures for handling the difficulties. The teacher should not have to feel alone and vulnerable if a difficult situation arises. So, yes, professionalism cuts both ways: in the standards we demand of teachers and the framework we have for giving them support.

Smile is a curve...
“Smile is a curve that can set things straight.”
(Rehtse Lou G. Bombeo, BEE- 2 student, The Teaching Profession,)
"esther bombeo"
Good day Ma’am Olga!!!!
I have read the chapter two of our book “the teacher in the classroom and community.” I have learned a lot out of it particularly the principles to be followed in managing a classroom, that a teacher is the authoritarian inside the classroom, thus she has the exclusive responsibility to insist on proper discipline. Discipline is not a punishment for the students but it’s just a solution to prevent them from misbehaving.
I have learned that a typical classroom is a classroom with regular number of students in a class to avoid discomfort in moving around, appropriate setting arrangement, enough lighting facilities, and adequate ventilation. Students should maintain cleanliness, avoid unnecessary noise and with regards to bulletin boards and displays, it should be related to the lessons for the week.
I have also learned that the teacher as an intellectual leader should be willing to share his knowledge and experience with the community and should actively participate in community work, such example is the local election and any other livelihood programs which will be conducted in the local barangays. A teacher should maintain harmonious relationship with other professionals, government officials and the people in the community. A teacher should avoid unbecoming conduct that may discredit his profession such as gambling, drunkenness and other immoral practices and as teacher we should bare in our mind that we should behave, maintain dignity and self-respect at all times because service in education calls for the highest standards of integrity and morality.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

As a future educator someday we need to have the skill in managing the classroom so that our students will be comfortable upon entering and listening the discussion. We need also to know the suggested tips in classroom management which are:
Get them in- which means that we need to prepare our classroom clean and well prepared so that we can get them in, and always prepared before the students entering the classroom.
Get their attention- so that you can easily proceed your discussion and they can easily learned the lesson.
Get them out- which means that if they got the lesson, get them free to go home upon bringing them the values that you have been taught. Always pray before the class dismissed.
So, we must apply our learning skills on how to manage the classroom and the students in the future.

As we all know that classroom is the second home of both teachers and students.
Classroom management is part of teaching process wherein a classroom needs to provide a safe, comfortable and conducive to learning environment. It also helps teacher motivate their students. Being creative and imaginative of the teacher and using appropriate learning materials as well as dealing the students varied interest promote good atmosphere for learning. Disciplining students and having consistent effort in record-keeping activities like checking daily attendance and keeping the records of students help track the improvement of students. Giving awards to those deserving students is also part of classroom management. Most of all teachers must be prepared before entering the classroom to have regular classes and must have and know their goal in teaching.
Therefore the ability to manage a classroom in an effective and efficient way is one way of evaluating how competent teacher you are. Teacher must know how to manage a classroom for them to become an effective teacher.

The Teacher As A Person In Society
(Welcome Education 128 students!!! Please take time to read our first lesson and accomplish what is expected of you for our next class session.These are taken from our textbook written by Bilbao, P. et al)
John Donne said in his song "No man is an island"..."No man stands alone... we need one another..." In the context of our life as a teacher, we would say "No teacher is an island. No teacher stands alone." Indeed, you can't become a teacher alone. Think of the many people who are helping you now become a teacher in the near future. In fact, you soon will be called a "teacher" in relation to a student, n the same manner that your student will be called "student" in relation to you as a teacher.
As a teacher, you have a significant role to play in society. Your influence on your students and on other people with whom you work and live depends a great deal on your philosophy as a person and as a teacher. our philosophy of life and your philosophy of education serve as your "window" to the world and "compass" in the sea of life.
There is a need then to formulate your own philosophy of education. To help you in this task, you are advised to take time to think and write all your answers to the following questions:
1. "Why do I teach?"
2. "What should I teach?"
3. "How should I teach?"
4. "What is the nature of the learner?"
5. "How do we learn?"
(Submission of the above answers to the questions will be on Dec 3. You are also advised to have a copy of the questionnaire on Determining Your Educational Philosophy on pp. 4-5, from the book of Purita P. Bilbao, et. al "The Teaching Profession" Answer the questionnaire yourself and be ready to share it to the class)
