1. How does a teacher show the true essence of professionalism?

A teacher shows the true essence of professionalism when her words and actions reflect a disciplined, well-mannered and principled human being.

A disciplined teacher accomplishes his repsonsibilities and knows his boundaries. He knows how to act appropriately as a role model therefore ehancing the student's discipline as well. A well-mannered teacher is respectful of his surrounding (including persons, organizations, environment, etc.)and clearly understands what is good for the community. A principled teacher knows his worth and contribute whatever he believes he can deliver and do what he thinks is right -- regardless of whether he is or he is not rewarded back.

2. What are the factors that help a teacher to facilitate learning?

For me, the following are the factors that help a teacher to facilitate learning:

a. Teacher's Continuing Professional Education

b. Environment that is conducive for learning

c. Adequacy of learning resources such as books,

   visual aids and educational technology which

   is maximally used for learning.

d. Integrate learning during playtime for kids

e. Continuous evaluation of teaching strategies

    and updating/upgrading strategies in

    teaching.

f. Counseling and regular meeting with the students and their parents
