MY REFLECTION PAPER

Am I worthy for this kind of scholarship? Am I ready to face the challenges and changes and neglect
some of my usual practice? These were the questions that came on my mind when I attended the face to face
orientation on this GURO21 Course I last January 10, 2017 at NEAP, Regional Office, Tacloban City. That was my
first journey in taking this course. I need to accept the opportunity that I am one of those who were selected in
our division. I want to take the challenges and changes despite of my busy schedule in school handling Science
9 and 10 subjects, the adviser of Grade 10 and being the coordinator of Science and Youth for Environment in
School Organization (YES-O). I need to balance everything for I know this is good for me in my teaching
profession to be an effective 21st century teacher.
First chat session was last Jan. 29,2017. I learned much about the Changing landscape of education, the
critical attributes of education in the 21 st century, the new parameters for teaching and learning in the 21 st
century and lifelong learning. Changing ideas helped me more develop my communication skills. Then, on the
second chat session was last Feb. 5, 2017 with the topics on the four Pillars of Learning in the 21 st century
specifically learning to live together and learning to do as the 21 st century teacher, how it relates to life and
career skills, Learning to do initiative and self- direction productivity and accountability leadership and
responsibility and learning to be the competencies to one’s daily life as 21 st century teacher and developing
one’s full potential and tapping the hidden treasure within oneself. All of these are the content of module 1. All
of these helped me to take the steps toward my goal to become an effective 21 st century teacher.
Designing Personal lifelong Plan is an effective tool to evaluate myself as a 21 st century teacher. Through
this, I was able to identify, assess and evaluate myself if I am capable of knowledge, skills, attitude and values
needed for the 21st century education. I was able to know my level of competencies in the different literacy. It
will help me assess which of those are my strong, good and weak points that will lead me to make or to design
an action plan in the implementing of lifelong learning plan to be one of the 21 st century teachers.
Writing this plan is not an easy task. I need to examine first myself and sometimes I encountered
difficulties because it’s my first time to work on this kind of plan. But once accomplished, this will be my
commitment of being focus towards developing my personal and professional aspects in life. It’s a great
challenge for me to implement this kind of plan but with determination, perseverance, willingness, prayer and
commitment whatever barriers in my journey will develop myself holistically as the 21 st century teacher
equipped with 21st century skills. Learners will also equip not only on what they learned in the classroom but
with attitude and values needed for the 21st century education and creating a better environment.
Lastly, I would like to share the quotes from Steve Revington, Education has but one main purpose – to
prepare students for the real world. To do what we need to get “real” in education. It’s imperative that we
provide ongoing, authentic learning opportunities to our students. Together we may give our students the
roots to grow and the wings to fly.
