The Teaching Profession

“Why am I here? What is the purpose of God for me?”

These are my questions for the past few days after enrolling in the CIT program. Though I am grateful for the opportunity, deep within me, I am seeking deeper meaning and purpose in pursuing this path.

 I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration majoring in marketing. I don’t have any teaching experiences outside except the experiences I had inside the church. I was assigned to be a Sunday school teacher, a youth leader, a dance teacher, and a bible study sharer. I am not skilled in teaching, but I enjoy preparing lessons, teaching, and sharing what I learned and my skills. I remember, watching youth and elders who are not skilled in dancing, but I was able to let them dance- that is rewarding for me. Witnessing young people’s lives changed and transformed by the Word of God because I allowed myself to be an instrument of God to guide, teach, and nurture them- is a fulfillment.

Teaching is not a merely profession but a calling with a mission. A mission to reach out to young people and take them to the world where they discover their purpose, unleash their potential, and become better individuals in their homes and in their communities.

If I become a fully pledged teacher, with God’s help, I envision myself as an educator fueled by purpose, compassion, and commitment. My goal is to nurture the spirit of “David” in this goliath world of today's 21st century, empowering the youth to understand their potential to overcome any obstacle. I aspire to instill faith, values, humility, resilience, and love for one another. I am convinced that these attributes are essential for becoming an excellent teacher.

My Teaching Philosophy

Free to share their knowledge, skills, learning experiences, and feelings. A place where everyone can be who they are, accept t...

Promoting Code of Ethics in Teaching via Online and Face-to-Face Learning Modality

Image
  The transition from face-to-face to online learning has changed the educational landscape. Yet, I believe that the Code of Ethics in teaching must remain unwavering and will continue to serve as a guide to effective teaching regardless of the delivery mode. The spirit of professionalism, integrity, respect, and dedication to student learning must continue in the physical and virtual classroom. As a future educator, my fundamental position is to observe and practice this set of ethical and moral principles, standards, and values with the same conscientiousness and honesty whether I stand in front of my students or connect with them through a screen. One important thing to remember is that teachers should always be at their best by practicing and maintaining professionalism. For example, a teacher conducting an online class should always be prepared to teach, dress appropriately, use an appropriate virtual background, employ respectful language in their interactions, and be a r...
