ED 102- THE TEACHING PROFESSION


Module 9
TEACHING, THE NOBLEST OF ALL PROFESSION

Learning Activity:

View the moving movie story of Teddy and Ms. Thompson at YouTube titled “ Three
Letters from Teddy.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xkQHh0HUxU&t=78s) then
answer the following questions.

1. How did you feel after viewing the short movie?


-Watching "Three Letters from Teddy" was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. At
first, I felt sad for Teddy, seeing how much he struggled and how his pain went
unnoticed. But as the story unfolded, I felt inspired and hopeful. It was a powerful
reminder of the incredible influence teachers have. Ms. Thompson’s change of heart and
how she nurtured Teddy brought tears to my eyes. It made me reflect on how small acts
of kindness can change someone’s life forever.

2. Do you know of a student who is similarly situated as “Teddy?”


-Yes, I do. I have classmate before named Marga. He was often quiet and sat in the
back of the room, always avoiding eye contact. She didn’t submit assignments on time and
had a hard time focusing. Over time, I learned that her parents were going through a tough
separation, and it was affecting her deeply. By simply listening to her and showing her
patience, I noticed small changes in her attitude. Marga’s story reminded me that every
student carries a world of experiences, and as teachers, we must be the ones to meet them
with compassion.

3. Do you also have a “Ms. Thompson” in your life?


-Absolutely. For me, my “Ms. Thompson” was my high school English teacher, Ms.
Rivera. I wasn’t the brightest student in her class, but she saw potential in me that even I
didn’t recognize. She encouraged me to write and express myself when I felt invisible.
Her faith in me gave me the confidence to take on challenges I never thought I could
handle. I still carry her lessons with me today, and they inspire me to pay it forward.

4. As a teacher, what lessons have you learned from the story?


-The story taught me that teaching goes beyond textbooks and lessons. It’s about
seeing the human behind the student understanding their struggles, celebrating their
progress, and believing in their potential. It reminded me that every child deserves a
teacher who will fight for them, even when it’s not easy. This story solidified my
commitment to creating a supportive environment where students can feel safe, valued,
and inspired to dream big.
Final Learning Activities:

1) Look for five (5) inspiring quotes and one (1) inspiring story about teachers. From these
quotes and story, cite at least five (5) reasons why teaching is considered the noblest
profession. Provide a copy of the quotes and story as your reference.

1. “A teacher affects eternity; no one knows where their influence stops.” — Henry
Adams

2. “Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.” — Colleen Wilcox

3. “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.” — William Butler
Yeats

4. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher
demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” — William Arthur Ward

5. “The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” — Mark Van Doren

Inspiring Story:

I once read about a teacher named Mr. Jim, who turned his classroom into a “community
of kindness.” One year, he noticed one of his students, Sara, was being bullied for her old
clothes. He decided to introduce “Random Acts of Kindness” Fridays, where students would
anonymously leave notes or small tokens for classmates. Over time, Sara blossomed into one of
the most confident students in the class. Mr. Jim’s initiative taught his students that kindness and
empathy can change someone’s life, a testament to the power of teaching.

Five Reasons Why Teaching Is the Noblest Profession:

1.Teachers nurture future leaders and innovators.

2.They provide hope and guidance to those in need.

3.They challenge and inspire students to dream bigger.

4.Teachers often serve as the moral compass for their students.

5. Their lessons transcend the classroom and influence society as a whole.

2) Formulate your own “Ten Commandments for Teachers”.


Ten Commandments for Teachers

1. Be patient with every student, regardless of their pace of learning.

2. Treat every student with respect, fostering a safe and inclusive environment.

3. Teach with passion and enthusiasm to inspire curiosity.

4. Never stop learning; continue to grow professionally and personally.

5. Be a role model in both actions and words.

6. Communicate openly with students, parents, and colleagues.

7. Recognize and celebrate small achievements.

8. Provide guidance and support, even outside academics.

9. Foster creativity and critical thinking in the classroom.

10. Lead with empathy, understanding, and kindness every day.

3) Dear Self: Write a letter to yourself expressing your commitment to the teaching
profession.

December 14,2024

Dear Self,

As you step into the teaching profession, remember why you started. Teaching isn’t just a
job it’s a mission to shape lives, inspire dreams, and bring out the best in every student you meet.
There will be days when the work feels overwhelming, and moments when you question if
you’re making a difference. But always hold on to this truth: teaching is the noblest of all
professions, and your efforts will ripple into eternity.

Be the teacher who listens when no one else does. Be the one who sees potential where
others see failure. Be the guide, the mentor, and the cheerleader your students need. When
challenges arise, remind yourself of the Teddys in your classroom and the Ms. Thompsons who
made a difference in your life.

This is your calling. Embrace it with an open heart and a willing spirit. You were made
for this.
Sincerely,
My Future Self💜
