My Reflections
As a future professional teacher, the standards of behavior that should be uphold
based on the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers are as follows:
teachers must strictly adhere to, observe, and practice the set of ethical and moral
principles, standards and values;
teachers are under obligation to transmit to learners such heritage as well as respect
for all duly constituted authorities, etc.;
teachers shall not engage in the promotion of any political, religious or other
partisan interest;
teachers must not use their profession/position to proselyte others to join his
religious affiliation;
teachers must be multi-culture sensitive;
teachers must behave with honor and dignity at all times and refrain from such
activities as gambling, smoking, drunkenness, and other excesses less elicit
relations;
teachers shall at all times show professional and personal courtesy, helpfulness and
sympathy; and
teachers should maintain dignified personality which could serve as model worthy
of emulation by learners, peers and others.

My Future Application
When I become a professional teacher, I should keep in mind that teaching is the
noblest profession among all other professions and act accordingly so as to not degrade
teaching being the noblest profession. I will strictly adhere to, observe the Code of Ethics
for me to be always in the right track. I should not stop learning. As much as possible, I
will enrol in graduate courses so that my instruction will be updated and met the new
challenges and problems of learners. I need to be a global teacher - a technology-oriented
teacher, an open-minded individual, an effective teacher and a holistic mentor to
everybody. Of course, I should pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).
Generally, I should remember and apply all my learnings, be competent enough and be
submissive to God all my problems so that He will guide me and mold me to the fullest.
