PERSONAL REFLECTION ON THE REVIEW OF TEACHING PRACTICE:
The ethical behavior of teachers in their daily lives is a constant problem. The Code of
Ethics comprises standards and provisions that will assist you in determining the proper course
of action when faced with professional issues that appear to have ethical repercussions.

In Article IV, A TEACHER AND THE PROFESSION, to actively promote teaching as the
highest profession, educators must show genuine enthusiasm for and pride in their great job.
Every teacher is expected to uphold the highest academic standards, prepare themselves as
much as possible for a career in teaching, and perform at their absolute peak at all times while
doing their job. This refers to advanced education such as master's and doctoral degrees.
Additionally, this implies that instructors have a duty to address the demands of their profession,
such as participating in webinars, seminars, workshops, and training to advance their
knowledge and abilities. These abilities might be used in classroom settings.

In reviewing the Code of Ethics article IV, Teaching is a wonderful job that involves a
great degree of responsibility and obligation to pupils as both a teacher and a learner. Teachers
impart knowledge and encourage students to take important life steps while also inspiring and
motivating them. They keep trying to bolster students' self-esteem and direct them in the right
direction. In the topic or grades he oversees, a teacher has the authority and duty to decide on a
student's academic standing and promotion, and this decision must be made in accordance with
generally accepted evaluation and measurement criteria. The teachers concerned must react
immediately to complaints to make sure that the proper procedures are followed. A teacher
must also understand that the needs and interests of the students come first. This means
promoting fairness and respect to a variety of learners. In section 8, teachers may not use
corporal punishment on offenders or subtract points from their grades as punishment for
behaviors that are plainly not indicative of poor scholarship. This state that the teacher may not
use any punishment in which physical force is used and intended to cause some degree of pain
or discomfort. It is a violation of children's rights to respect for human dignity and physical
integrity.

A professional code of ethics for teachers outlines their fundamental duties to their
students and establishes their place in the lives of those students. Teachers must operate
impartially, honestly, and ethically in the classroom—whether it be online or in person—and in
their relationships with parents and coworkers.

ANNOTATION
Video / audio recording of one’s teaching that shows impact of regularly
reviewing one’s teaching practice/s

In my video recording, I use the model DLP of Fourth quarter week 5 of Media
and Information Literacy with the Learning Competency: 1. Describes the different
dimensions of audio information and media. MIL11/12AIM-IVd-11Comprehends how
audio information and media is/are formally and informally produced, organized, and
disseminated. MIL11/12AIM-IVd-12.

On May 26, 2022, I participated in a webinar/SLAC about the teacher code of

ethics, which helped me to better my teaching methods. As seen in photo number 1
under ARTICLE III, The Teacher and the Community – Section 1, a teacher as a
facilitator of learning and of the development of the youth; he shall therefore, render
the best service by providing an environment conducive to such learning and growth.
I made sure that before the start of the class the room is conducive for learning by
arranging the seats with distancing, provided rubbing alcohol for students to use,
clean surroundings, available trash bins all following health and safety protocol, as
well as the use of smart tv for a more active and motivating presentation of the
lesson.

In accordance with ARTICLE VIII, The Teacher and Learners – Section 2

under photo number 2, a teacher shall recognize that the interest and welfare are his
first and foremost concern, and shall handle each learner justly and impartially. I made
sure that every learner had a chance to participate and are not forced to answer if they
don’t want to. I also gave them the freedom to choose what song they want to analyze
in our assessment activity. In photo number 3. ARTICLE VIII, The Teacher and
Learners – Section 3, under no circumstance shall a teacher be prejudiced nor
discriminatory against any learner. All throughout the discussion proper I made sure to
hear the students’ opinion in every topic and situation related to our lesson. I also ma de
sure that any act of bullying will not be tolerated inside my class. All students where also
given the opportunity to use the smart tv during the interactive activity.
Lastly as seen in photo number 4, ARTICLE XI, The Teacher as a Person –
Section 4, a teacher shall always recognize the Almighty God or Being as guide of his
own destiny and of the destinies of men and nations. At the beginning of the class, we
praised God through a prayer lead by the student.
