Personal Qualities
‘’Look for a job you love and
you will never have to work a
day in your life.’’
This is the very reason why we need to
understand teaching not just a
profession but also a mission. It is not
just a vocation but a special calling.
“Without hard work and discipline, it is
difficult to be a top professional"
A professional is one who conforms
to the technical or ethical standards
of a profession.
[Link] Profesional Education-
Professionals generally begin their
professional lives by completing a
university program in their
chosenfields- teacher
education,engineering,nursing,accoun
tancy.
[Link]- University programs
are approved by a regulatory body
like the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) in the Philippines to
ensure that graduates from these
recognized programs start their
professional lives with competence.
[Link]- Licensing is
mandatory, not voluntary and is
administered by a government
authority is the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC).
[Link] development - This is an on-
going professional education that maintains
or improves professionals' knowledge and
skills after they begin professional practice.
In the Philippines this is Continuing
Professional Development mandated by RA
10912,otherwise known as the CPD Act of
2016.
[Link] Societies-Professionals
see themselves as part of a community
of like-minded individuals who put their
professional standards above the
individual self- interest or their
employer's self- interest.
6. Code of Ethics
Each profession has code of ethics to
ensure that practitioners behave
responsibly .The code states what
professionals should do, professionals
sociesties or lose their license to practice
for violating the code of ethics
There was no formal preparation for teachers during the Pre
Hispanic times . The formal training of teachers began during the
Spanish period when men were trained . In 1901 , a two -year
preparation for teachers was given by the Philippine Normal
School . Then the two years became four years since the two year
academic preparation was seen inadequate. To ensure quality
teachers and to make teaching at par with other professionals , in
addition to a four year teacher education course , passing a
licensure examination was made mandatory by RA 7836
Teaching as Vocation
vocations comes from latin word ‘vocare ‘ which
means to call .For Christians the caller was God
himself ,For our brother and sisters in Muslims,
Allah. From the eyes of those who believed , It was
God who called you to teach
TEACHING IS A
MISSION AND/
OR JOB?

the word mission comes
from the latin word ‘mission
‘ which means to send
,means that you are sent to
accomplish an assigned
task.
Opens new

if you are doing it
only because you
are paid for it , it

Opens new
opportunities
if you are doing it not
only for the pay but
also for service ,Its a
mission . If you quit
because your boss
criticized you it is a job
if you keep on teaching
out of love , its a
mission
Opens new
opportunities
if you are committed to teaching even
if it means letting go of other activities
, its a mission, If you quit because no
one praises or thanks you for what
you do its a job
Opens new
opportunities
if you remain teaching even though
nobody recognizes your efforts , its a
mission .
Its hard to get excited about a
teaching Job :
if our concern in teaching is sucess
plus faithfulness in our job, teaching is
a mission. An average school is filled
by teachers doing their teaching job
A great school is filled with teachers
involved in a mission of teaching

[Link] of the
subject/field one
teaches
The first essential of effective teaching is that the
character must have a thorough grasp of the
subject he/she teaches. This is contrary to the
common notion that a teacher does not have to
know very much to teach children. Effective learning
demands that the teacher possesses solid knowledge
of the subject of field that he/she teaches.
To master one’s field is to keep on learning more
about it.
2. Understanding the
learner
Understanding your learners
and their needs is an
important part of classroom
teaching and planning.
2. Understanding the
learner
This professional practice involves making decisions about teaching and assessment by
applying an understanding of learner characteristics, including their level of
attainment, their age, interests, preferred ways of learning, group dynamics, their
motivation to learn, both generally and in relation to specific subjects, their
educational, social, cultural and linguistic background, any special educational needs
they may have, their level of autonomy and their personality.
Individual Differences
Individual
Differences
ID refers to the extent and kind of variations or similarities
among people on some of the important psychological
aspects such as intelligence, personality, interest, and
aptitude.
Every learner is different and so are their needs.
The professional practice of "Understanding Learners"
means that teachers make better decisions about teaching
and assessment by first learning about their students as
individuals.
Rosa Aguado International High School [Link]
Factors Affecting Learners
Level of attainment – how much the student already knows.
Age and interests – younger learners may need more playful activities,
while older ones may enjoy discussions.
Preferred ways of learning – some learn best through visuals, others by
doing hands-on tasks.
Group dynamics – how students interact with each other.
Motivation – whether they are interested in learning overall or in a
specific subject.
Background – educational, cultural, social, or linguistic differences.
Special needs – if a learner has disabilities or other learning difficulties.
Personality and independence – shy vs. outgoing, dependent vs. self-
directed learners.
2. Understanding the
learner in PE
In Physical Education, understanding learners means
knowing your students’ physical abilities, interests,
motivation, and background so you can plan safe,
enjoyable, and effective activities. Since not all learners
have the same fitness level, skills, or confidence, a PE
teacher needs to adapt lessons to meet their needs.
Factors Affecting
Learners
Level of attainment – Some students may already be athletes, others may be
beginners.
Age and interests – Younger kids may enjoy fun games, while older students
might prefer sports like basketball or volleyball.
Learning styles – Some learn by watching demonstrations, others by trying
the movement themselves.
Motivation – Some love PE, others feel shy, tired, or unmotivated.
Cultural or social background – Some sports may be new to certain learners.
Special needs – Students with asthma, injuries, or disabilities may need
adapted activities.
Personality – Some learners are competitive and confident, while others
may prefer cooperative activities.
Example
A PE teacher is planning a lesson on basketball skills (dribbling, passing, and
shooting) for Grade 8.
Some students play basketball outside school (high attainment), while
others are new (low attainment).
A few students are very shy and hesitate to join competitive games
(personality).
One learner has asthma (special need) and cannot run continuously.
Some students love basketball (motivation), while others prefer dance or
fitness activities.
Teaching decision:
The teacher divides the class into small groups, pairing skilled players with
beginners for support (group dynamics).
Provides clear demonstrations and slow-motion video clips for visual
learners (learning style).
Gives the student with asthma a modified role (e.g., focusing on passing
instead of continuous running).
Ends the session with a fun shooting contest to boost everyone’s
motivation.
This ensures all students feel included and are learning at their own level.

The old notion that “if a person knows
his subject; he can teach it” is not true.
To promote learning effectively, a
teacher must know not only what (subject
matter) but also how (method) to teach.
Hence, the third essential of effective
teaching is skill with teaching methods.

[Link] understanding
of other branches of
knowledge
Present day teaching demands that a teacher
possesses a general understanding of other branches
of knowledge. If a teacher expects to help children
understand and appreciate the world they live in, he
must understand the interrelation and independence
of the various areas of knowledge. He must be able to
show how his subject relates with other fields,
particularly in the solution of life’s problem.
General understanding of
other branches of
knowledge
Modern teaching is no longer limited to just one subject. A teacher needs to
have a broad understanding of other branches of knowledge because real-
life problems do not belong to only one field.
A good teacher shows students how subjects are interconnected.
This helps learners see that what they study in class is not isolated, but
useful in real life.
For example, PE, Science, Math, Social Studies, and even Arts often overlap
when solving real-world issues.
By connecting subjects, teachers help students develop critical thinking,
problem-solving, and appreciation of the world.
General understanding of
other branches of
knowledge
Example in Practice
Imagine a PE teacher discussing the importance of physical fitness.
From Science (Biology): Explains how exercise strengthens the heart, lungs, and
muscles.
From Math: Calculates Body Mass Index (BMI) and measures heart rate before and
after exercise.
From Health Education: Discusses healthy eating and lifestyle choices.
From Social Studies: Talks about how sports build teamwork and social
responsibility.
From Psychology: Connects exercise to stress relief and mental health.
This shows students that PE is not just about playing games—it is connected to
health, math, science, and life skills.
[Link] and
appreciate of the teaching
profession
A teacher’s success is not just about how much knowledge they
have, but also about their attitude toward teaching. Since teaching
involves many relationships, a teacher must:
Work well with students by guiding and inspiring them.
Cooperate with administrators and coworkers for smooth school
operations.
Communicate with parents to support student learning.
Engage with the community to connect education with real life.
Show professional ethics by being respectful, honest, and fair.
In short, success in teaching comes from both knowledge and
positive relationships.
Understanding and appreciate
of the teaching profession
Imagine a teacher who:
Encourages students kindly when they make mistakes.
Collaborates with fellow teachers to prepare a school sports
event.
Updates parents about their child’s progress.
Works with the community to organize a clean-up drive.
Always treats everyone with fairness and respect.
Such a teacher will likely be more successful because of their good
attitude, teamwork, and professional relationships.
Understanding and appreciate
of the teaching profession
Teaching is more than just a job—it is a socially useful profession
because teachers help shape the future of individuals and society.
A good teacher must:
Recognize that teaching has both rewards (like respect,
fulfillment, and influence) and challenges (like workload, stress,
or limited resources).
Value professional organizations (such as teacher associations)
that support their growth, provide training, and improve the
education system.
Keep updated with new teaching strategies, technologies, and
trends through seminars, workshops, and in-service training so
they can meet the changing needs of learners.

Being a teacher is not just about teaching lessons. It involves many
responsibilities:
1. Guiding the learning process – A teacher plans lessons, prepares
materials, creates a good classroom environment, and makes sure all
students learn.
2. Counseling and guidance – Not only the guidance counselor, but every
teacher should help students with their problems and needs.
3. Sponsoring extra activities – Teachers also help with clubs, sports, and
other school activities that help students grow.
4. Working with parents and community – Teachers must work with families
and the community to support children’s education.
