Analyze
1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx
videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
- A great teacher embodies a blend of competencies, including deep content knowledge
and mastery of pedagogical skills to cater to diverse learning needs. They excel in
communication, building strong relationships with students and stakeholders, and
fostering an inclusive, learner-centered environment. Committed to continuous
professional growth, they reflect on their practices, innovate in their teaching, and uphold
high ethical standards. By engaging with the community and integrating real-world
experiences, great teachers inspire and empower students to achieve their full potential.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?
- No, these competencies are not limited to professional competencies alone; they extend
beyond the professional realm to include personal and interpersonal qualities. While
professional competencies focus on content knowledge, pedagogy, and assessment skills,
personal attributes such as empathy, patience, adaptability, and resilience are equally
important. Interpersonal skills like communication, relationship-building, and emotional
intelligence also play a critical role. A great teacher integrates both professional and
personal competencies, creating a holistic approach that enhances their effectiveness and
impact on students’ lives.
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a
lesson, execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report
grades? Explain your answer
- No, possessing only professional competencies like planning lessons, executing lesson
plans, managing a class, assessing learning, and reporting grades is not enough for a
teacher to be great. While these skills are fundamental, great teaching extends beyond
technical proficiency. A great teacher must also connect with students on a personal
level, inspire and motivate them, and create a supportive and inclusive learning
environment. Emotional intelligence, empathy, adaptability, and the ability to inspire
curiosity and critical thinking are crucial. Moreover, a great teacher should be a lifelong
learner, reflecting on and improving their practice, and engaging with the community to
provide holistic education that addresses students' academic, social, and emotional needs.
Therefore, greatness in teaching involves a blend of professional skills and personal
attributes that together foster a meaningful and impactful learning experience.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important- personal qualities or professional
competencies?
- Both personal qualities and professional competencies are crucial for a teacher to be
great, but their importance varies depending on the context. Professional competencies,
like lesson planning, classroom management, and assessment, provide the foundation for
effective teaching. However, personal qualities such as empathy, patience, adaptability,
and passion often have a more profound impact on students. These qualities help teachers
connect with students, build trust, and create a positive learning environment. Great
teachers seamlessly blend both sets of skills, using their professional expertise to deliver
content effectively and their personal attributes to make learning meaningful and
engaging, achieving a balanced approach to teaching excellence.
5. Who are the teachers that we remember the most?
- The teacher we remember the most are the teachers who has left a great influence to us,
the teachers who molded us to become who we are today.

Attach your reflections here.
A teacher's role is pivotal in shaping students' academic and personal growth. A good
teacher fosters a positive and inclusive learning environment, where every student feels valued
and supported. They should be prepared, organized, and adaptable, using diverse teaching
methods to engage and inspire students. Encouraging critical thinking, providing constructive
feedback, and building strong relationships with students, parents, and colleagues are also
essential practices.
However, a teacher should avoid negative behaviors that can hinder student development.
Discriminating or showing bias, being overly rigid, or neglecting individual needs can harm a
student’s learning experience. Harsh criticism, excessive workload, and unpreparedness can
undermine students' confidence and interest in learning. Additionally, failing to manage the
classroom effectively and displaying negative attitudes can create a disruptive environment.
lastly, a teacher should strive to be a positive role model, guiding students with empathy,
professionalism, and dedication to their success.
