human wholeness comes from the re-formation of hearts

Values: Training vs Formation

Personal & Professional Growth


Good Character

Involving our Soul, our CharacterIdentity & Integrity

is a reliable inner disposition to act in a morally good way, having qualities such as honesty and integrity

knowing the good, loving the good, and doing the

good


Identity Essential life, characteristics that somebody recognizes as belonging uniquely to himself or herself and constituting his/her individual personality for life

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and high esteem rather than silver and gold.- Proverbs 22:1


"LOOKS may capture the EYES but it's the CHARACTER that captures the HEART."

"A Brilliant Mind is useless without a Humble Heart. You make an IMPRESSION with what you SAY but you make an IMPACT with what you DO.“

Francis Kong


“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Watch your words, for they become actions.

Watch your actions, for they become habits.

Watch your habits, for they become character.

Watch your character, for it will be your identity.

Reflect on your identity, for it determines your destiny.”


Have a Positive Attitute

Romans 8:28All things work together for good…

according to His purpose & plan.


Positive Attitude is Important in Building Positive Relationship

with Others

Eliminate the Negative

Follow Abraham Lincoln's famous instruction: "I do not like that man, therefore, I shall get to know him better."

Most of relationship ends not because of permanent decision but just because of a temporary emotion. -ipcap

Build up others a sense of importanceGive sincere appreciation

Check the first impression

Develop a genuine interest to people around you


Positive Attitude is Important in Creating Positive Atmosphere

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable,

whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence, and if anything worthy of praise, let

your mind dwell on these things. – Philippians 4:8


Take the positive and Eliminate the Negative Attitude

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that

your words may give grace to those who hear. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and backbiting and slander, together with all malice, and

be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

– Ephesians 4:28-29, 31-32


Huwag ninyong pabayaang mamutawi sa inyong mga bibig ang anumang mahalay na salita. Kundi mamutawi yaong

mabuti ayon sa ikatitibay upang ito ay makapagbigay biyaya sa nakikinig. Alisin ninyo ang lahat ng sama ng loob,

galit, poot, kadaldalan, panlalait at lahat ng uri ng masamang hangarin at akala. Maging mabait kayo sa isa't isa, maawain, magpatawaran sa isa't isa, kung papaanong

pinatawad kayo ng Diyos kay Cristo. – Efeso 4:28-29, 31-32

Take the positive and Eliminate the Negative Attitude


Integrityintegrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness,

uprightness, or accuracy of one's actions

the quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards with or without the presence of others


IntegrityThe integrity of the upright shall guide them: but

the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. – Proverbs 11:3

Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. – Luke 16:10


The inward factors that obscure or distort our identity and integrity as teachers is FEAR.

Fear, not ignorance, is the enemy of learning, and it is fear that gives ignorance its power. Fear is the counterpoint of every great and good human virtueFear, not doubt, is the counterpoint of faith;Fear, not hate is the counterpoint of love; Fear, not greed, is the counterpoint of generosity; Fear, not betrayal, is the counterpoint of trust. It is fear that deforms our lives; Fear is clearly at work in our educational culture


Every human experienced fear, but in varying degrees. Such fear could be:

fear of failure and rejectionfear of being alone & lonelyfear to be declared wrongfear of discovering what is lacking in himselffear of pursuing what is right

Fear came when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. So the origin of fear is sin the opposite of

truthfulness and righteousness.


God has not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

Defeating Fear

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who

fears is not made perfect in love. I John 4:18


Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do. –

Ephesians 6:7


The consistencies have to do with qualities of being: presence passion personal identification concern for students a certain largeness of mind and heart keepers of integrity they are, in a word, "whole" people

“The way to truly increase teachers'capacities and skills is to engage

their souls.”


The Value of Self-Reflection In a profession as challenging as

teaching, honest self-reflection is a key.

Reflection……..

“If teachers are to become healers for their students, they must first work to heal

themselves.”


Ask Yourself The Following Tough Questions And Be Honest!

Then take your answers and turn them into positive, resolute statements that give you concrete goals on which to focus immediately. Be honest.


Self-Reflection

1. Do I include my soul in my teaching profession ?2. Do I teach because of love and unconditional service?3. What resentments and fears do I need to resolve in order to move forward more optimistically and with a fresh mind?4. What types of students do I tend to ignore or do I need to spend more time serving?5. Which lessons or units am I only continuing to perform out of habit or laziness?

6. Am I being a cooperative member of teaching team and colleague?7. Have I done enough to foster a productive relationship with my principal?8. Do I still enjoy teaching?

Am I willing to create a positive atmosphere in my workplace?11. Am I aware of my identity?12. Do I keep and value my integrity?

“If any man wishes to exert a good influence in speaking, He must also exert a good

influence by living.”

I Timothy 4:16Watch yourself and watch your teaching. Keep on doing these things, because if you do, you will save both yourself and

those who hear you.


“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. - Matthew 5:8

“I can do all things through Christ who gives us Strength.”

Philippians 4:13

motivated to be the best teacher you can be!

when it puts focus on teachers' inner life and reflection through values formation.
