A. Analysis
1. What does your list tell about society’s expectations from teachers?
Today's teacher is expected to have advance knowledge, skills, high academic and ethical
standards. Teachers are expected to promote students academic progress as well as further
students' social, emotional and moral development ant to safeguard students' health and well-being.
A teacher better himself/herself and rises above all odds to meet the requirements of the
moment. This is proved by the online classes taken by teachers at a day.

gratitude I received.
A. Application

2. For the millennial learners: is the professional teacher aptly described as PETMALU, LODI and
WERPA? Explain your answers.
For me, professional teacher is rightly to described as PETMALU, LODI and WERPA because
of their duties and responsibilities they have. They continue their passion in teaching for the
betterment of everything for everything.
3. What can you say about teachers who are academically bright (per college record) but cannot
be “reached” by students and parents?
B- I. Technically Competent
II. Highly and Ethical and Moral
3. With the qualities of a professional in mind, create at least three (3) Filipino traits that work
against the making of a true Filipino professional teacher.
You’re poised, and can keep a cool head when everybody around you is going crazy, so you can
come up with an answer or action that will save the day. It’s about cultivating that quality of being
unflappable even when you’re being grilled in a big meeting or facing an important deadline and
something goes wrong. This quality is about thinking clearly and taking the right actions in
emergencies.
You have a choice in how you react to difficult situations and how you make decisions about what to
do and say in a tricky situation. Taking the high road means choosing an option that is honest and
honorable, rather than sinking down to the lowest common denominator. You respect others and
treat people fairly. You don’t gossip, but rather you’re discreet. You don’t blame others and finger
point. Instead you admit your own mistakes when you make them.
Being counted on means honoring your commitments and not leaving people wondering whether
you’re going to come through. You do what you say you’re going to do. It means creating a track
record of delivering on your commitments, and not leaving others with the anxiety of wondering
whether they need a backup option when they’ve asked you to do something.
PHILOSOPHY
WHY TEACH
WHAT TO TEACH
HOW TO TEACH
1. Essentialism
This philosophy contends that teachers teach for learners to acquire basic knowledge, skills and
values. The emphasis is on the academic content for students to learn the basic skills and
fundamental r’s – reading, ‘riting, ‘rithmetic and right conduct. The teachers and administrators
decide what is most important for the students to learn. Essentialist teachers emphasize the mastery
of the subject matter. They are expected to be intellectual and moral models of their students. They
are seen as “fountain of knowledge” and as “paragon of virtue”.
2. Progressivism
Progressivist teachers teach to develop learners into becoming enlightened and intelligent citizens of
a democratic society. The progressivists are identified with need-based and relevant curriculum. The
curriculum should respond to students’ needs and that relates to students’ personal lives and
experiences. Progressivist teachers employ experiential methods.
3. Perennialism
To develop the students’ rational and moral powers. The perennialist curriculum is a universal one
on that all human beings possess the same essential nature. It is not a specialist curriculum but
rather a general one. The perennialist classrooms are “centered around teachers”. The students do
not allow the students’ interests and experiences to substantially dictate what they teach.
4. Existentialism
To help students understand and appreciate themselves as unique individuals who accept
complete responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions. To help students to define their own
essence by exposing them to various paths they take in life. In an existentialist curriculum, students
are given a wide variety way of options from which to choose. Provide students with vicarious
experiences that will help unleash their own creativity and self-expression. Existentialist methods
focus on the individual. They help students know themselves and their place in society.
5. Behaviorism
Behaviorist schools are concerned with the modification and shaping of students’ behavior by
providing for a favorable environment. Behaviorist teachers teach students to respond favorably to
various stimuli in the environment. Behaviorist teachers ought to arrange environmental conditions
so that students can make the responses to stimuli. Teachers ought to make the stimuli clear and
interesting to capture and hold the learners’ attention. They ought to provide appropriate incentives
to reinforce positive responses and weaken eliminate the negative ones.
6. Linguistic Philosophy
To develop the communication skills of the learner. To develop in the learner, the skill to send
messages clearly and receive messages correctly. Learner should be taught to communicate clearly –
how to send clear, concise messages and how to receive and correctly understand messages sent.
Communication takes place in three (3) ways – verbal, non-verbal and Para verbal. Experiential is the
most effective way to teach language and communication. The teacher facilitates dialogue among
learners and between his/her students.
7. Constructivism
To develop intrinsically motivated and independent learners adequately equipped with learning
skills for them to construct knowledge and make meaning of them. The students are taught how to
learn. They are taught learning processes and skills such as searching, critiquing and evaluating
information. The teachers provide students with data or experiences that allow them to
hypothesize, predict, manipulate objects, pose questions, research, investigate, imagine and invent.
