Teaching as a vocation

Teaching as a profession
“Teaching is a noble profession”
The word “profession” is synonymous to:
Occupation, job, career, work, line of work
The word “professional” means long & arduous
years of preparation, a striving for excellence, a
dedication to public interest and commitment to
moral & ethical values.

If you consider teaching as a profession
then:
You must be willing to go through a long period of
preparation.
You must be willing to go through continuing education
(continuous development of potentials)
You must strive for excellence ( not “pwede na” mentality )
You commit yourself to moral, ethical and religious
values & dedicate yourself to service.

Teaching as a mission
The word mission is derived from the Latin word
“misio” which means “to send”.
The Webster’s Dictionary defines “mission” as “task
assigned”.

If teaching is your mission then it means:
a. It is the “task” entrusted to you in this world.
b. It is your assigned task thus you’ve got to prepare
for it!
c. It calls for a continuing professional
education.
“Once a teacher, forever a student”

Teaching as a vocation
The word “vocation” comes from the Latin word
“vocare” which means “to call” thus vocation is a
“call”.
For Catholics, the CALLER is GOD Himself.
“Many are called but few are chosen”
For Non-believers, the CALLER might be a man
calling another man.

If teaching is your vocation then it means:
You said YES to your call to teach!
You commit yourself in the total transformation of
the learner.
You consider teaching as a lifetime commitment
thus aim through the years towards quality
teaching.
“Teaching may not guarantee financial security but
love of teaching has served as a motivating factor to
many teachers through the years”. Teaching has
remained inspiring & fulfilling.
