C. The Teacher Educator
“No Stream is higher than its source”, so must the teacher
be in relation to his/her learners. This truth calls for teacher
educators as a rich source of knowledge, skills and personal
qualities necessary for the total growth and development of
his/her students. In a nutshell, teacher educators should:
1. Demonstrate sincere love or passion to his/her craft for
him/her to understand and embrace all kinds of learners
and aspire only for excellence in everything that he/she
does for his/her students;
2. Engage students in learning. A teacher educator must
be creative and engaging enough to motivate his/her
students to learn and succeed cognitively, behaviorally
and affectively;
3. Never cease to be a student. A teacher educator does
not sit comfortably on his/her past glory and be content
with status quo. He/she must constantly hunger and
seek for new knowledge and equip himself/herself
with new skills so he/she can respond accurately to the
queries and concerns of his/her learners, particularly
now that we are treading the path of a new normal in the
field of education;
4. A teacher educator is a catalyst or impetus of the
encompassing permanent values of love, charity, faith,
patriotism, respect, freedom and responsibility in the
process of molding his/her learners’ dreams.
5. Maintain open communication line and respond to
queries and concerns of students and parents with
urgency through various social media platforms.
6. Practice ethical standards in the use, production and
distribution of learning tools and materials.
7. Carefully choose methods and strategies for synchronous
and/ or asynchronous learning to avoid causing
technostress on the learners and to maximize students’
engagement on content and performance standards.
8. Conduct more of a formative assessment regularly to
determine the students’ improvement of knowledge and
skills in distance learning.
9. A summative assessment may be done at the end of
a quarter or a semester for the purpose of evaluating
the effectiveness of the implementation of the Online
Learning Program in various grade levels in relation to
the set educational goals and objectives.
