1. PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING 1

2. THE TEACHING PROFESSION : AN OVERVIEW Teaching as a profession produces something significant and moving when the right ideas and beliefs are implemented effectively in the classroom. These ideas normally accrue from various educational experiences from where evolve a teacher's philosophy in teaching. Fortunately, the love for teaching has served as a motivating factor to teachers who have not left behind the much-touted idealism. Despite the problems attributed to present-day economic woes, teaching has remained inspiring and fulfilling.

3. The teaching profession demands a total commitment to total transformation of the learner, a continuous development of his potentials for a totally satisfying life as a person and as a member of the community. This is the reason why there is so much focus on quality. Teachers who are willing to address and meet the demands of quality instruction can bring out the best in their pupils and students

4. WHAT IS TEACHING Many authors view teaching as Organized, Purposeful and deliberate efforts designed to bring about certain desirable ends in individual. A teacher is Guided by his thorough understanding of what teaching is. This affords a strong basis for his interpretation of the process and consequently, in his performance as a teacher further, this identifies the kind of direction he applies in every classroom work he engages his students in.

5. As claimed b y Acero , Javier, and Castro (2007), the word “ teaching” may be understood from different context , such as: Teaching is an occupation . When we say, for example, that Dr. Daniels teaches English, teaching become an occupation. One gets to know what Dr. Daniels does for a living . She is a teacher by profession Teaching may also mean the myriad of activities associated to teaching like when one explains, asks, reviews, demonstrates, submits requirements, attends official meetings, advises students, and checks on attendance .

6. Teaching as an act is construed as the most essential act, without which there is no need for activities that teachers engage in outside of classroom work, like attending seminars, meetings, and conferring with parents. It is like saying there are activities that teachers do as part of their job but not when they are engaged in the act of teaching . Teaching is a process or set of actions to induce learning and eventually to succeed in learning . This definition stresses the need for planning for teaching, the process of teaching, and the achievement aspect, which means teaching is a deliberate process; it does not just happen

7. It must be noted that successful teaching, Resulting in achievement of learning, can only be realized when teaching is done in a manner that affords respect to the learner’s intellectual and capacity for independent judgement.

8. CHAPTER 1 UNDERSTANDING TEACHING Teaching also requires effective delivery of the course content, thus, the need for available varied strategies anchored on educational theories relative to the "how" of teaching. There is no single definite strategy that applies to learning. Other strategies can be integrated into each lesson taught A teacher has become a facilitator, a far cry from what used to be teacher- centered instruction. He simply guides and provides learners opportunities to develop creativity and come up with their own discoveries. This is anchored on the constructivist learning theory which posits that students can construct their own learning in the classroom
