Jamindan, Capiz P eaching is not just about imparting knowledge and information to students useful in their everyday Tlives. It is, more importantly, also about leadership. For a teacher, first and foremost, must be a leader not just inside the classroom but also inside the school. A teacher must have a quality of being a leader, one that is assertive for what she or he feels is right and would redound to the benefit of everyone not just in school but in the community.
