episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2 Resource Teacher’s class. Note all the information you will
need and tasks you will need to do before working on this episode.
Target Your Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

Classify Your Task
Before you embark on your one-semester journey in Observation and Teaching Assistantship, it may be good to be
reminded of the personal and professional qualities which we, teachers, ought to possess. Striving to be the best teacher,
the teacher who will leave an imprint of himself/herself on his/her students, is a never-ending journey. The journey began
three years ago when you started discussing who the professional teacher is in your course on The Teaching Profession,
etc., etc. The journey gets more focused and challenging now as you observe and assist your Field Study Resource
Teacher. Don’t you worry! You have been prepared for this for three years and you will end up stronger, happier and
wiser!
Let’s buckle down for work!

Standards for Teachers (PPSTs) and the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Framework and the Code of
Ethics for Professional Teachers.
