4. Here is a line from Bernard Shaw’s play: Man and Superman: “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” Answer: “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach”, implies that there are professionals who seek for success in a certain field. And not everyone are able to do something well for a living, other people who are not able to do something make a living by teaching, after all, the best way to learn something is not to do it but to teach it. You understand it better after you explain it – you remember it better after retrieving and sharing it.

Activity 2

Present the historical development of teacher preparation and professionalization in the Philippines from pre-Hispanic Philippines to 1996 by way of a graphic organizer.

During pre-Hispanic period, there was no established formal schooling in the country. So there was no formal preparation for teachers wherein only mothers, fathers and tribal leaders are the ones who served as the educator in home and community.

Historical Development of Teacher Preparation and Professionalization in the Philippines from pre- Hispanic During Spanish period and by virtue of Philippines to 1996. Educational Decree of 1863, the free public school system was established. School institutions for boys are separated with girls in every municipality. The Spanish missionaries served as teachers during this period.

American soldiers acted or served as first teachers during American regime. The Philippine Commission enacted into law, Act 74 wherein the Department of Public Instructions in 1901, laid the foundations of the public school system and offered free primary education for Filipinos. The first legal document that professionalized teaching was Presidential Decree 1006 issued by the President Ferdinand E. Marcos. It was in 1976 with PD 1006 known as the “Decree Professionalizing Teaching” that teachers in the Philippines became professionalized and the need to professionalize was felt.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 3

1. Read this letter given by a private school principal to his teachers on the first day of a new school year. It may make your humanizing mission in teaching crystal clear. Dear Teacher: I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness: - Gas chambers built by learned engineers. - Children poisoned by educated physicians. - Infants killed by trained nurses. - Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates. So I am suspicious of education. My request is: Help your students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, Skilled psychopaths, and *Eichmanns. Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if They are to make our children more human. •Explain your mission as a professional teacher by helping children become more human. Answer: As a professional teacher, you are expected to become catalysts for social change where you will be the designer of powerful learning that will train, teach and shapes character, caliber, knowledge, and equipped with fundamental skills of students to cultivate them a human for themselves and for community. 2.Watch “Discovering Your Life’s True Calling – Lou Sabrina Ongkiko at YouTube. Based on the video that you just watched, what is our life’s true calling? How can you apply that in your calling to teach? Answer: Our true calling is “To Love” , because when we love, when we strive to love, our purpose becomes clearer, we are more determined to address our context and lastly we continue to hope and believe because we love, our country included. (Lou Sabrina ongkiko) We should pass what we’ve learned from what is true calling and serve as wings for other’s flight while showing love, because teaching is not only about giving knowledge it is about loving what you are doing, loving whom you are teaching and loving everything that surrounds inside and outside your profession. For the young once will pass it on to succeeding generation. Because being a teacher seems to be like this “ My students success is my success, my great feel of satisfaction”.

3. An LPT pin is worn by a Licensed Professional Teacher (LPT) and the letters LPT are attached to the name of every professional teacher in the Philippines in the same way that M.D., Doctor of Medicine, is attached to the name of a medical doctor, R.N. for a Registered Nurse and CPA for a Certified Public Accountant. When you wear that pin and write LPT after your name, you are announcing to the world you are a professional teacher. Professional teacher, what does this mean? Answer: Romeo Jr. S. Sagun, LPT.

PETMALU which means malupet and LODI and WERPA means idol and power because teachers are said to be IDOL with power, especially in terms of changing someone, touching and handling different set of characteristics and lead them on right road and a superb one.

5. There are six (6) teachers’ obligations enumerated in Section 16 of Batas Pambansa Blg. 232 known as the Education Act of 1982 Are these teachers’ obligations exactly the same as the seven domains of the PPST? SHARE your answer.

Answer: It is somewhat different but somehow related because the PPST defines teacher quality in the Philippines. It contains the qualities or characteristics a teacher in the Philippines should possess to become effective in the 21st century in the Philippines and this qualities and characteristics can be use by the teacher in order to attain and ensure the obligations she/he needs to have/do. And it both adhere to promote the locality, the love for native like having the mother tongue as on of subjects which will surely help to enrich everyone to love what and where they came from.

Realizing society’s demands from teachers, do you agree with at least four-year academic preparation of professional teachers?

Answer: Yes because it will surely help a aspiring professional teacher to mold and enhance everything that is need to become professional. It will serve as way of acquiring adequate skills and knowledge and to become well prepared in opening the doors for teaching. This would probably prepare them to face the challenges wholeheartedly and bring the best out of them especially in possessing their chosen profession. 3.
