You are now entering a very demanding profession. Now is the best time

for you to tune in and identify the personal qualities that makes you a promising

teacher. Perhaps, the hectic pace of your professional study did not allow you

to reflect on your own behaviors. Observing teachers in their classrooms will

enable you to see the desirable personal qualities put into action in varying

realistic teaching and learning situations.

In this learning experience, you will be guided through the experiential

organizer as follows:

AM I A PROMISING TEACHER?

My 10 Personal Qualities

Description of Myself Critical Examples

1. Passionate I have a passion for teaching

so that in everything that I

do in this training ground

for teachers, I always put my

heart into it. For instance,

when discussing/demo

teaching, I always give my

best because I believe that it

will help me to develop

myself as a future teacher.

2. Enthusiastic I always think more on the

positive and little less on

the negative. Even when

becoming a teacher?

• How can observing myself and others enhance the personal qualities wish to further develop?

things get tough or I

encountered problems, I

always keep a smile on my

face because I see the bright

side of everything. Also, I’m

always motivated so I always

have a positive energy in

whatever I do. When I am

stressed because of school

requirements, I feel blessed

because I am given the

opportunity to grow

intellectually, emotionally,

and socially.

3. Caring I always feel like I am

committed to serve

everyone around me. I am

caring especially to

children. It’s fun being with

them, teaching them,

dancing, playing, and

singing with them. Like

when we had an extension

program at Brgy. Alawihao, I

easily became attached to

the children. Even though

we’re not relatives, I treated

them as my family. I

remember when a child

cried, she said she was being

bullied by other kids. What I

did was to cheer her up and

play with her. I will always

care for everyone. That’s

what my parents taught me

and that’s also what I

wanted to do.

4. Willing to learn Every day, I think of my

mind as an empty glass of

water so that I would be able

to acquire more knowledge.

I’m not afraid to be

corrected by others if it

would help me to learn

something I never knew

before. When I am

reporting/discussing, I

usually let my classmates to

share their insights about a

topic because I believe that

there should be an

interactive teaching and

learning process. I would

use this when I’m already

teaching because the

teacher is no longer the sole

source of learning, but also

the students. As a future

teacher, I always aim to

learn more to do more.

5. Helpful I am always willing to give a

hand to those in need. For

instance, when my cousin

asked me something about a

game for introducing oneself

in the classroom, I shared

my knowledge and told her a

good strategy that she can

use. When my classmates

needed an internet

connection and a place to do

their school requirements, I

let them come to my house


5

and sometimes, I help them

in doing their works.

6. Creative When having a

report/discussion, I usually

make use of instructional

materials. Being creative

doesn’t mean that I’m good

at drawing or painting, but

instead, it just means that I

have an imaginative mind to

think creatively of the

materials I can use in my

discussion. I’m always

trying to develop my

creativity because it would

help me a lot when I’m

already a teacher. It would

make me an effective

teacher because IMs arouse

the interests of the

students.

7. Hardworking I always burn the midnight

oil. When we will have

quizzes, recitations,

reports, or exams, I usually

stay up late at night to

review my notes because I

always want to come class

prepared. I believe that in a

battle, you will lose when

you don’t have a weapon and

I think the best weapon that

I can have is being prepared

in everything. I may always

be tired, but this will help


6

me to be a successful

teacher in the future.

8. Open-minded I am always open to change.

I believe that the only

constant thing in the world

is change so I always accept

new ways, ideas, systems,

etc. So, when a person is

telling me something, I am

always willing to listen

because I respect his/her

ideas and opinions.

9. Empathetic There are times that my

friends share their problems

with me. I would always

listen to them and imagine

that I’m in their shoes/I’m

the one experiencing that

problem. With that, I can

understand what they feel. I

usually give advices to help

them solve their problem. I

am always compassionate

with them when they’re

down and I also celebrate

with them when they’re

up/happy.

10. Good at Time

Management

I usually make a checklist of

the tasks I should do and

listed them according to

importance. For instance, I

have projects to do, and I

must review for exams and

recitations, I list them in a

bond paper and post it on

my drawer so that every


7

time I look at my drawer, I

would be reminded of the

things I must do. In this

way, I can pass my projects

on time and be prepared for

exams and recitations.

My 10 Personal Qualities that I Intend to Further

Develop

My Personal Qualities Rationales

1. Good in Self-

management

I believe that time

management is not

enough, so I need to be

able to manage myself. I

should always be

productive. I should first

learn how to manage

myself to be able to

manage my tasks. I should

be organized and know

how to organize things.

2. Resourceful I should be able to do when

unexpected things happen.

I should utilize my

creativity and imaginative

mind.

3. Confident I should be confident

because I believe that a

teacher is always on step

ahead from the students. I

should always be prepared

and have a wide knowledge

to be confident.


8

4. Effective Communicator I should be able to

effectively communicate

my students by means of

catching their attention

and making them learn

from me.

5. Flexible I should be able to adapt

and adjust my teaching

strategies to make them

suitable to my students.

6. Fair I should not be biased. I

should always weight

things equally and fairly.

In my future teaching

career, I should not have a

favoritism in the

classroom.

7. Intelligent I should have more input

knowledge because I

believe that I cannot give

what I do not have. So, I

should read more to know

more.

8. Model I should be able to be a role

model and a good example

to my students. I should

exemplify model behaviors

so that students will also

be well-behaved.

9. Inspirational I should be able to inspire

and motivate my students.

I should be their guide for

them to realize their

potentials, help them to

grow, and help them to


9

find their talents, skills,

and abilities.

10. Sociable I should be sociable in a

way that I can build a

harmonious relationship

with everyone. I should be

approachable to my

colleagues, students, and

my students’ parents.

attached to people. I am also fair because I always think objectively, not

subjectively. I respect other people’s ideas and thoughts. I am enthusiastic and

have a positive energy in everything I do. I am dedicated and loyal to serving

the society. I am reflective because I always have some reflection and learnings

from my experiences. I am creative and resourceful in thinking imaginatively

and making instructional materials. I am also responsible and honest. However,

I think I am still not competent enough. But, I’ll do my best to be competent

because it is one of the aspects to be an effective teacher.

A. Which of the desirable teacher's quality do you have at the moment?

List them down.

✓ Caring/Loving ✓ Fair ✓ Respectful ✓ Enthusiastic/Joyful ✓ Dedicated/Loyal ✓ Reflective ✓ Creative/Resourceful ✓ Responsible ✓ Honest/Truthful

B. Which of your present qualities do you want to further develop or

strengthen? Are they in the list of desirable teachers' qualities?

I wanted to become competent. Yes, it is one of the desirable teachers’

qualities. Being competent means being full packaged. It means being

proficient and knowing the what-when-how in teaching. Meaning, if I am

competent, I have already mastered what to teach, when to teach, and how to

teach. I wanted to develop the quality of being competent because it will greatly

help me to become an effective teacher.

C. Think of the teachers you have observed.

C1. Which desirable personal qualities of teachers do most of them

possess?

Both teachers I have observed embody all the desirable personal qualities of teachers listed above. They are caring and loving in such a way that they are concerned for students’ welfare. They are fair since they do not show favoritism in the classroom, they treat their students equally. They are respectful because they respect the opinions and ideas of their students. They are enthusiastic and joyful because they have a positive energy in teaching and in return, the students also show the same energy they have given to them. They are dedicated and loyal since they do not teach just because of earning money, but because of their commitment to teach and let their students grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally. They are reflective since reflect from their experiences and gain knowledge from it. They are creative and resourceful because they have used instructional materials that catch the interest of the students. They are responsible in doing their tasks as teachers. They are honest and truthful in giving feedback to the students’ performance. All in all, they are competent enough to be effective teachers.

C2. Which attributes did you not have the opportunity to observe?

I believe that I had the opportunity to observe all the attributes listed

above because to be an efficient, effective, and promising teacher you must

embody all that attributes of an effective teacher because they are all important.

Without one, you will never be a highly promising teacher.

Something to Ponder

If I have 9-10 of the desirable teachers’ qualities, therefore I am highly promising.

If I have 7-8 of the desirable teachers’ qualities, then I am a promising teacher.

If I have 0-6 of the desirable teachers’ qualities, then I must strive in developing those

qualities for my personal growth.

becoming a highly promising teacher?

B. Make your personal diary of your progress in achieving your plan of

action.

Dear Diary,

Today, I have prepared instructional

materials for my report/discussion this week. Also,

I have read articles about stylistics and translation

which are aspects of the English language. I have

also made a checklist of the tasks that I should do,

and I was able to finish 2/5 of the checklist. Before

I was able to make instructional materials for my

discussion, I first researched on how to make

those, and I believe that I was able to practice well

so I can be able to apply it in my future teaching

career. That’s all for today. I hope I can do more

tomorrow.

Love,

Xena
