One of my favorite quotes about teaching is taken from Dr. Jose P. Rizal's letter to his sister Soledad:

"Maging modelo ng kalinisang puri at magandang katangian, sapagkat ang sinumang nagtuturo ay kailangang mas higit sa tinuturuan."

This quote always reminds me to display propriety in every action as a teacher because as has been said, the influence of a teacher is always boundless, especially to his/her learners.

Andragogy comes as a very novel term for me. According to my research, I have found out that andragogy is very much related to pedagogy. The significant difference is that andragogy focuses on adult learning, and emphasizes more on the procedures rather than the content.

Pedagogy is the art of teaching young learners. It represents the different methods and practices that a teacher can employ inside his/her classroom. Emergent teaching pedagogies center on facilitating learning, not just teaching it, and on putting emphasis on how the learners discover things on their own.

Child learning is different from adult learning in terms of how education is structured. I believe the best education must be provided to children since they are still in their formative years, and how they are able to learn greatly impacts their future successes. More so, recognizing their different abilities must start at childhood so that a learner would gain confidence in what he/she could do.

My concept about child development is to provide, in the most possible way, the best environment so that the child can be properly nurtured. It is undeniable that not all children are born equal, but at school, educators must make sure that they can be nurtured properly and are provided with the proper values and insights for a better development.

In terms of student learning, I feel that the teacher must be conscious to the various needs of the learners. He/she must not only keep on looking at the rules, but also look at how the background and environment can impact student learning.

Sometimes, I think that teaching is not my calling. But amidst the trials and challenges, I am able to surpass it and I get my hopes back high when I see how far my learners have gone and how much they have grown.

The most challenging part in teaching is mastering the ability to properly and patiently deal with your learners as you lead them through the educative process.

The best thing in teaching is to be able to help your learners, nurture them as they grow, as well as being able to collaborate with people, such as colleagues, parents, and individuals who play significant roles in the educational system.

Teaching is to lead, guide, and care for the learners, and not to fill them only with instructions and knowledge.
