The three concepts that struck me the most were the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers, The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers (RA 4670), and Teachers’ Rights, Duties, and Responsibilities—The Education Act of 1982 (BP 232). (BP 232). These three concepts are incredibly important to understand and learn by heart as a pre-service teacher since they are foundational knowledge that I can bring with me all throughout my teaching career.

The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers is the first concept. This lesson struck me in such a way that it broadens my perspective on teachers' primary obligations to their students and establishes our role in their lives. Teaching is considered by others as the most noble profession therefore every teacher shall maintain the finest standards of quality education, shall make the best measures for their teaching career, and shall give his/her best at all times and in the practice of his/her profession—this is how The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers comes into play.

The third concept that struck me is the Teachers’ Rights, Duties, and Responsibilities—The Education Act of 1982 (BP 232). This lesson has my piqued my interest, especially as it serves as a sort of summary for the first and second concepts I mentioned before. As pre-service teacher, it is vital for me to fully understand my rights, duties and responsibilities for me to become an effective teacher someday. Teachers don't just educate by the book but also impart learning experiences that a student can bring wherever he/she goes. However, a teacher cannot decide what's good for his/her student but rather pave the way for them to accomplish their particular aspirations. That's why as much as possible we should know where we stand in the lives of our students which we can learn in the Education Act of 1982(BP 232). (BP 232).

O-Opting to use professional approach at all times
F- Following the ethical standards of educators
E- Ensuring the quality education
S-Supporting learners to achieve their academic success
S- Setting realistic goals and objectives

Talking about excellent and quality teaching, I genuinely appreciate our professor in this subject Mr. Erwin Corales for his unceasing effort to teach us the different topics contained in The Teaching Profession subject and also imparting valuable knowledge and learning experiences that will surely help us in our teaching career. In God’s will, if I will become a teacher soon, I want to be as committed and sincere to my work as Mr. Corales. I'm grateful that I was able to come across with a great professor like him which I can look up to. He truly embodies what a great educator should be. Also, I am grateful to my classmates who were with me throughout this semester. They add color and gradient to my learning journey.
