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 should understand and know what to teach.
They assists students to improve their skills through a life-long
process of learning.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional
competencies?
For me, these competencies are not limited only to professional
competencies. I believe that with or without teaching profession,
anyone can teach and mold students to become a better person.
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.
For me, it’s not. It is because a teacher can’t be called a great
teacher if she/he doesn’t how to teach their students effectively and
can’t able to mold them to become a better person.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important,
personal qualities or professional competencies?
For me both of these are important to a teacher to be great. It
is because when the two of these are combined together in teaching,
teachers are able to inspire and motivate students to learn without
hesitation. In addition, they will effectively teach students.
5. Who are the teachers that we remember most?
She/he is the teacher who is considerate to his/her students,
have a sense of humor, and good communicator, as well as those
teachers who are kind and help students to understand if she/he

1. Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I
need improvement in?

adaptable, initiative, and patient. I do not possess the traits of being
confident because I am still shy and I don’t have good communication
skills.
2. Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of
demonstrating?
It is for being flexible and enthusiastic.
