Study Notes

Chapter 2 - Lesson 1: Demands of Society from the Teacher

This lesson focuses on the professional demands placed on teachers.
The lesson discusses the professional competencies a teacher should demonstrate.
Four models of effective teaching are utilized for this purpose.
The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers are also introduced, and elaborated on in chapter 6, in relation to the Competency Framework and Standards for Teacher Qualification.

Professionalism

Professionalism is not about the job itself, but rather how the job is performed.
A teacher's role is characterized by expertise, ethical responsibility, ongoing learning, and a commitment to enhancing educational outcomes.

Impact of Teachers

Teachers profoundly influence learners, impacting not only academic but also personal, social, and emotional development.
Their role extends beyond delivering subject matter, shaping student perceptions of themselves, others, and the world.
Teachers interact with diverse groups and perform multiple roles (e.g., tutor, nurse, guidance counselor, community leader, resource speaker, consultant).

Teacher as a Professional

Teachers must possess a degree recognized by CHED.
They must pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) administered by the PRC.
Teachers must maintain a license, which is renewable every 3 years, with a requirement for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Adherence to the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers is critical, violation of which can lead to license revocation.
Professional practice requires technical and ethical/moral competence.

The Demand from the Teacher as a Professional

The role of a teacher is primarily to teach and the learner is the primary client.
The demand placed on teachers is shaped by the current dynamic needs of the modern education system.
Teachers are expected to uphold high standards in competence, ethics, and continuous improvement strategies while adapting to the changing classroom landscape.

Models of Effective Teaching

Models of effective teaching are structured frameworks that direct educators in designing and delivering instruction to optimize student learning.
These frameworks provide teachers with strategies to engage learners, facilitate understanding, and assess progress accurately.
Four models are mentioned: Robert Marzano's Causal Teacher Evaluation Model, Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching, James Stronge - Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System (TEPES), and The McREL Model (Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning).

Robert Marzano's Causal Teacher Evaluation Model

Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching

This framework is structured around four key areas: Planning and Preparation, The Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities.
Each of the four domains contain additional specific areas of focus regarding classroom design, learning environment management, and assessment of student performance.

James Stronge - Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System (TEPES)

This system encompasses critical components for effective teaching. Highlights include Professional Knowledge, Instructional Planning, Instructional Delivery, Assessment of/for Learning, The Learning Environment, and Student Progress.
Detailed information relating to these key aspects is included, with implications for classroom instruction and assessment.
