Journeying the

Teaching Profession
Dr. Aida A. Dianela
The Foundational Principles of Morality
and You

DO GOOD, AVOID
EVIL.
Dear Teacher,
I am a survivor of a concentration camp.
My eyes saw what no man should witness:
- Gas chambers built by learned engineers.
- Children poisoned by educated physicians.
- Infants killed by trained nurses.
- Woman and babies shot and burned by high school and college
graduates
So, I am suspicious of education.
My request is : Help your students become human. Your efforts must never
produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, and Eichmann's.
Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our
children more human.

Teaching: Mission and/or a Job


If you are doing it only because you are paid for it, it's a job;
If you are doing it not only for the pay but also for service, its a mission.
If you quit because your boss or colleague criticized you, it's a job;
if you keep on teaching out of love, it's a mission.
If your teach because it does not interfere with your other activities, it's a job;
If you are committed to teaching even if it means letting go of other
activities, it's a mission.
If you quit because no one praises or thanks you for what you do, it's a job;
If you remain teaching even though nobody recognizes your efforts, it's a
mission.
Teaching as Your Vocation, Mission, & Profession

It's hard to get excited about a teaching job;


It's almost impossible not to get excited about a mission.
If our concern is success, its a job;
If our concern is success plus faithfulness, it's a mission.
An average school is filled by teachers doing their teaching job;
A great school is filled with teachers involved in a mission of
teaching.

--Adapted from Ministry or Job by Anna Sandberg


Teaching as Your Vocation, Mission, & Profession

Teaching is a Vocation
For theists, it is a calling from God worthy of our
response. For atheists, it is a calling without
dimension.
Teaching as Your Vocation, Mission, & Profession

Teaching is a Mission
Teaching is an assigned task. We are expected to
write our accomplishment report at the end of a
mission.
Teaching as Your Vocation, Mission, & Profession

Teaching is a Profession
It is our way of rendering service to humanity. The quality of our
professional services determined to a great extent on our long
and arduous period of preparation, continuing professional
education, and our commitment to ethical and moral values. If
we give professional quality service, then mediocrity has no
place. If we live up to our name as a professional teacher, a
meaningful and fulfilled life will not be far behind. No doubt this
can readily happen when teaching has become your passion.
Teaching as Your Vocation, Mission, & Profession

Teaching is a Profession
Hermogenes P. Pobre said, The term professional
is one of the most exalted in the English
language, denoting as it does, long and arduous
years of preparations, a striving for excellence, a
dedication to the public interest, and commitment
to moral and ethical standards.
