Session 1 – The DepEd’s Mandate

As a newly hired teacher in DepEd, what can you contribute to:

a. Promote quality education?
In education, the teacher plays a vital role. He or she is responsible not just imparting
knowledge to pupils but also shaping the behaviors, attributes, and character of learners.
As a new teacher, I will contribute to the promotion of high-quality education by continuing
my professional development by attending short-term refresher courses, workshops,
seminars, and educational conferences. I will always reflect on my teaching methods, assess
the methods and strategies I employ, and seek out new ways to improve my teaching
practices. I will also urge my students to be active learners by giving them material that foster
collaboration, involving them in debates and discussions, and allowing them to share their
new ideas to make the classroom discussion more interesting.
b. uphold equity in education?
I can uphold equity in education by giving equal opportunity among my pupils regardless of
their race, religion, culture, color, and status. Providing them with varied instruction to
address the different learning styles of my pupils. I will remove the barriers in learning and
promote collaboration in the classroom and give more opportunity to all the pupils to excel.
c. Respond to the needs of the learners?
To respond to the needs of the learners I can contribute through openly involve them in
classroom decision-making in the classroom. I will provide them opportunities to engage in
learning experiences that they have initiated. I will consistently monitor my pupils progress
and provide them with proper intervention.

Session 2: Vision, Mission, and Core Values

As a new public-school teacher, what are your visions for yourself, for your class, and
your school community?

Self: As a new public-school teacher, my goal is to be a teacher that encourages my

students to enjoy learning. I will strive to identify my strengths and then use them to inspire
my students, leading to a positive outcome for each pupil and a shift in the way my teaching
works. My goals are to motivate and engage my pupils through ongoing and everyday
student-centered active-learning lessons, as well as to help all my students discover meaning
in their lives through education.
Class: My vision is to have a class wherein there is collaboration among all my learners. To
create an atmosphere where each individual feels accepted and valued. To create a classroom
wherein there is no bias and there is equal opportunity for learning to everyone. I want to
create a classroom that is conducive to learning and promote love for learning.

School Community: My vision to my school community is to be a learning environment that

are deeply united have an array of benefits for students, teachers, parents, and the wider
school. A community that has a strong leadership to help the school in providing quality
education to all learners.

Key Topic 1: DepEd’s Vision

Scenario 1:
Teacher Johanna is a Grade 7 teacher at Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial National High
school. She encourages her learners to demonstrate their love of country through practicing
acts of kindness inside and outside the school premises. Provide at least two ways of
integrating this in her lessons. You may respond in 3-5 sentences.

Teacher Johanna should think first of the subjects where she can integrate and achieve her
lesson objective, say for example she integrates it in AP and ESP then she can use it as a
group task or individual task to her pupils wherein they demonstrate practicing act of
kindness.

Key Topic 2: DepEd’s Mission

Scenario 2:
One of the Grade 9 advisory students of Teacher Andrew is showing interest in joining
scouting. However, the student is very shy and timid. In what ways can Teacher Andrew help
his learners to gain confidence and participate in scouting? You may respond in 3-5
sentences.
The first step Teacher Andrew should do is to talk to the pupil and explain to him the benefit
of joining the Scouting. Encourage him that joining scouting is an unforgettable experience
where he can learn to socialize with his other classmates and learn cooperation, that through
this activity he can overcome his shyness and gain confidence in interacting with other
people. Teacher Andew should encourage him to go beyond his comfort zone and joining the
scouting is the perfect idea for it.

Key Topic 3: The DepEd Core Values

Scenario 1:
Teacher Helga is a Grade 1 teacher at Biñan Elementary School. She is teaching Science.
She wants to make sure that she can provide a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and
motivating environment in her class. What should she do to achieve this? You may respond
in 3-5 sentences.

Teacher Helga should provide activities in science that promotes child-friendly, gender-
sensitive, safe, and motivating environment in her class by preparing a lesson plan a head of
time. She should make sure that her activities are suited for the learners, not gender biased,
safe and encourage participation to all learners.

Scenario 1:
Teacher Luis is a Grade 10 guidance counselor and a Values Education teacher at Arellano
High School. One of his classes has a diverse religious background. One day, two of the
learners insisted that the class should start with a prayer led by an assigned student. This
leads to a heated debate arguing about their own religious and spiritual beliefs. How can
Teacher Luis mediate and help resolve the argument? (You may refer to Department Order
(No. 32, s. 2013) and Department Order (69, s. 1990)).

Teacher Luis should explain to all his pupils that students with different religious beliefs
should not force to participate to any religious activity that is not allowed on their religion.
They should learn to respect the religion of other people to avoid discrimination in the class.
That’s why if one of their classmates does not join or lead the prayer in their class, they
should respect their decision.
Scenario 2:
The DepEd Core Values teaches us the love for God (maka-Diyos), love for fellow men
(maka-tao), love for nature (makakalikasan), and love for country (makabansa). Teacher
Molina inspires his Grade 2 learners to become a better version of themselves through
exemplifying qualities and characters of our national heroes. What classroom management
strategies can Teacher Molina employ to encourage learners to apply the DepEd core values
in real life situations?

To teach the DEpEd core values to Grade 2 pupils, Teacher Molina can use it as an activity
wherein she can assign her class per group to act as one of the national heroes and portray
the good values that they have, through this pupil can internalized the good values in real life
situations.

Strategic Directions), answer the following questions. Write your responses in 3-5 sentences.

1. In what ways has this module helped you reflect on the Vision, Mission, Core Values, and
Strategic Directions of the Department of Education?

Through this module I now understand that term “teacher” is a very broad definition.
That his/her role does not end in the four walls of the classroom. Teacher is one of the
important people who mold and shape the minds of the pupils. Because of this
module, I realized that I cannot provide the quality education to my pupils if I did not
seek to continue my professional development.

2. How has this module helped you clarify your vision and motivations in serving your
learners better and in promoting a learner-centered environment for them?
This module serves as my wake-up call to continue my dream to change the lives of
my pupils as my top priority despite of the challenges I encountered as a new teacher.
This serves as my guide to be a competent teacher and provide learner centered
environment that focus on the welfare of my pupils

3. What are your personal beliefs and values that are aligned with the DepEd’s VMV (Vision,
Mission, Core Values)?
My personal beliefs that are aligned with the DepEd Vision, Mission and Core Values is
that “We should not judge a book by it’s cover”, because I realized that as a teacher, I
should not judge my pupils by just looking at them or by their mistakes they created
because, the intelligence of a child is not measured by it. I should give equal opportunities
to all my pupils when it comes to learning regardless of their attitudes or behaviors. And
as a teacher, it is my duty to change the lives of my pupils one at a time.

Key Topic 2: School-based Management (SBM)

Required Task 2: Scenario Analysis
Scenario 1
Teacher Lozano, the mother of one of your advisory students, visited you in the school
because of a bullying incident that you are not aware of. She was very angry and
disappointed about what happened because the incident was not addressed and resolved
properly. Her daughter is still afraid and decided not to go to school that day. The incident
happened during Science time because the teacher was late to enter the class. You also had
other classes to attend to and had no chance to meet your advisory class during that time.
Who should you seek help to?

I would seek first the help of the school guidance councilor regarding this matter to identify
what is the best way to resolve the issue together with the parents and the pupils involve. If
the problem is still not resolve, then it is the time to seek the help of the school head.
Scenario 2
Teacher Mary Ann, a fellow teacher whom you consider a friend, messaged you on
Facebook and told you that she will be absent tomorrow. She asked you to substitute all her
five classes. Without letting you respond, she already sent you the learning materials for her
lessons tomorrow. However, you also have classes to attend, and your learners are
expecting to deliver a performance task that they prepared for. What are you going to do as a
colleague and who should you direct her to?

I will honestly tell her that I also have classes that I needed to attend. I will advise her to
message the school head that she can longer go to school, and she needed a teacher to
substitute for her so that the school head would be the one to decide whose teacher is
available to look for her class.

Scenario 3
Lito, the class president of your advisory class, was elected as the president of the Supreme
Student Government (SSG). After three months, his subject teachers are having trouble with
his class standing because of his frequent absences and non-submission of required written
and performance tasks. Lito is getting overwhelmed with the various school activities he
manages. What are you going to do as the adviser?

I will explain to Lito that I understand his role as the President of the Supreme Student
Government., that he has lots of duties and responsibilities to full fill, but I will also remind
him that he should not just focused on this, he has still subjects that needs to prioritize. He
should learn to balance his duties as well as his academic subjects to avoid conflicts on her
grades. I will advise him to create his daily time plan so that he can full fill both his duties
without sacrificing his academic subjects.

Required Task 1: Introductory Activity
As you go over the activity, write your reflections below by answering the questions that
follow. Limit your answers to all the three questions below into a maximum of 600 words.
Guide Questions:
1. What is the role of a teacher to his/her learners?
Teachers plays a significant role in the life of his/her learners. As a teacher, it is their
responsibility to bring out the best in their students and inspire them to achieve greatness.
Students are thought to be the nation's future, and teachers are thought to be a reliable
guide for their progress. Teachers are responsible for shaping their future, making him or
her a better human being. A teacher’s presence in a student’s life can boost their morale
and guide them to be more valuable in life. Now that we are in the modern era, the role of
the teacher also changes. Teachers are responsible to bring the lesson to real-life
situations to encourage participation to the learners. Another very important part of the
teacher’s role is to monitor learner’s performances, assessments, achievements, and
learners’ development. With all that information the teacher will find easier to get to know
the students properly and adopt different strategies that ensure successful learning for all.
The role of the teacher has no limit when it comes to ensuring the welfare of his/her
learners.
2. How do you think are those roles manifested in being a classroom adviser?
These roles of the teacher are manifested in the classroom by implementing it by the
adviser in her actions. Performing his/her duties wholeheartedly to all his/her learners.

3. So far, how was your experience as a classroom adviser?

My experience as a classroom teacher is challenging yet rewarding. I have learned that I

need to study effectively about classroom management. I realized also that each pupils
have different learning styles that is why I must provide varied activities in my lessons.
They have diverse ways of learning that is why it is very challenging on my part as a
teacher. Because of this experience, they motivate me to be strive my best to be an
excellent teacher and continue my professional growth.

Required Task 5: Agree or Disagree

Read each statement and identify if you agree or disagree with it. Share your thoughts on
the next column.
Statements Answer
1. We should tell our learners how we expect
everyone to behave in class (our learners AGREE
and ourselves) and discuss these
expectations regularly.
2. We must inform our school’s
administrators, other teachers, and parents AGREE
about our classroom rules, so they can help
to monitor them and to avoid conflicting
expectations.

3. The rules we develop with our learners

must be applied consistently with no AGREE
favoritism.

4. We must constantly be aware of what is

going on in and outside of our classrooms, AGREE
and our monitoring must be subtle and
preventative.
5. We cannot get angry or lose self-control,
but be role models for good behavior, and AGREE
follow the rules.

6. When discipline is necessary, it focuses on

the learner’s behavior, not the learner. The AGREE
learner’s dignity is maintained.

7. We need to encourage learners to monitor

their own behavior, such as by keeping AGREE
diaries. They also need to monitor each
other’s behavior with respect.

8. In teaching, we should not use ambiguous

or vague terms. Activities should be AGREE
sequenced clearly and with as few
interruptions as possible.
