TEACHING: MISSION AND/OR JOB?
If you are doing it only because you are paid for it; it’s a JOB.
If you are doing it not nly for the pay but also for service; it’s a MISSION.
If you quit because your boss or collea- gue criticized you; its a JOB.If you keep on teaching out of love;
it’s a MISSION.
TEACHING: MISSION AND/OR JOB?
If you teach because it does not interferewith your 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; its a JOB.
If you remain teaching even thoughnobody recognize your efforts;it’s a MISSION.

THE ELEMENTS OF A PROFESSION
“The term professional is one of the most exalted in the English language, denoting as
it does, long and arduous years of preparation,a striving for excellence, a dedication to the public interest, and commitment to moral
and ethical values.”-Hon. Hermogenes P. Pobre-
TEACHING AS PROFESSION•The end goal of a profession is service.• As a professional turns out to be dedicated and
comitted.• You must be willing to go through a long period
of preparation and a continuing professionaldevelopment.
• Strive for excellence, commit yourself to moral, ethical and religious values and dedicateyourself to public service.
THE ‘PWEDE NA’ MENTALITY VS.EXCELLENCE
• The “striving for excellence” as another element ofa profession bring us to our “pwede na”mentality, which is inimical to excellence.
• The mortality rate in the LET for the past ten yearsis a glaring evidence that excellence is very much wanting of our teacher graduates.
TEACHING AND A LIFE OF MEANING
• Spend it passionately in teaching, the most noble Profession.
TEACHING AND A LIFE OF MEANING
• “Teaching may not be a lucrative position. It can-not guarantee financial security. Sometimesit means disappoitments, heartaches, and pains. But touching the hearts of people andopening the minds of children can give youjoy and contenment which money could notbuy. These are the moments I teach for. Theseare the moments I live for.” –Dr. Josette T. Biyo
