Journal Entry #5: What kind of teacher do I aspire to be?
Returning to module 1, which asked me how I wanted to be remembered by my students, all of the core characteristics still hold firmly until now. I recall those characteristics of a teacher who teaches quality education , a teacher who is kind yet fair , and a teacher who is accommodating to his students . Now, I understand how to technically achieve these characteristics regarding the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPTST). Firstly, with a teacher teaching quality education , this aspect encompasses Domain 1: Content and Pedagogy. To be able to teach quality information in whatever field I might pursue, I must learn specific strands of Domain 1, such as strand 1.1, or content knowledge and its application within and across curriculum areas; strand 1.2, or research-based expertise and principles of learning and teaching; strand 1.4, or strategies for promoting literacy and numeracy; and 1.5, or strategies for developing critical and creative thinking
