THE TEACHER AS A

PERSON

Presented by Group 1

A TEACHER MAY PLAY MANY ROLES, BUT EACH WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE

PERSON THAT HE IS.

MANKIND IS MORE HIGHLY INTERDEPENDENT THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME IN THE WORLD’S

HISTORY.(Jimmy E. Nations)

IN THE AGE IN WHICH WE LIVE..

AS A TEACHER..

CAN YOU FORMULATE

YOUR PHILOSOPHYAND BELIEFS

OF EDUCATION?

one should teach?

Why teach?

“My goals for my students is to make them

better than what I am

now.”-Mrs. Waperi

What to teach?

“Of course, I teach based on relevant

curriculum. But nevertheless, I also

want them to become

independent learners

somehow.”

How to teach?

“I keep my system which if it

worksI'll keep it and if doesn't, I'll drop it. Most of the

time, I'll ask my students if they'd

learned.”

ANALYSIS

Based on the interview that we had, I learned that each of us has a philosophy to adhere to and we

have notice that Mrs. Waperi is sort of progressivist and

essentialist kind. She both let her students express [theirs] as well

as manage to emphasize her subject matters for a better

change.

REFLECTION

Like Mrs. Waperi, I agree more on progressivism. A teacher

should be the one who accept the impermanence of life, and

the inevitability of changes, for the change is the only

thing that does not change.

As a future teacher, my goal for my students is to make

difference in a way that they will be able to know and adapt any circumstances

they will be encountering as they continue their endeavor

in this world.

What I really want to teach with my students is

the relevance of the academic needs of every

students to prepare themselves not for the

adult life but how to deal life for today.

Perhaps, I would let them learn by doing. More on

application method.

I've come up to many realizations. I realized how

noblest the profession I choose, how big

responsibilities I have in the future, as a future educator.

Besides, that's what being a progressivist really means.

Educator

The future brightenswith each lesson

Each smile, lengthenEach goal will reach.

That’s what an educator,Really means.

‘ ’You are a teacher. What you say, what you do, how are you to your students, your

colleagues speaks abundantly..

EXPLORE WAYS TO CREATE A MORE POSSITIVE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT BY MAINTAINING

CAREFUL DILIGENCE OVER THE CONTENTS OF OUR LIVES.”
