Preliminary Activity

Please complete the survey below. This activity will help you reflect on your current
understanding of the different aspects in the Department of Education. How familiar are
you with the following? Check the appropriate box that corresponds to your answer.

Session 1 – The DepEd’s Mandate

As a newly hired teacher in DepEd, what can you contribute to:
a. Promote quality education?
As a new DepEd teacher, I can promote quality education by using innovative
applications and exploring use of technologies that appeal to the pupils, such as
online resources and digital tools that can be easily implemented in the classroom.
I will also let them experience the activities or discussions that will boost their
imagination and critical thinking/strategic thinking skills.
b. Uphold equity in education?
I can uphold equity in education by giving equal opportunities among my pupils
regardless of their race, religion, culture, color, and status. Also by providing them
with varied instructions to address the different learning abilities of my pupils. I will
remove the barriers in learning and promote collaboration in the classroom and
give more opportunities for my pupils to excel.

c. Respond to the needs of the learners?

There are many ways on how to respond to the needs of the learners, such as
checking their progress, supplementing their learning with research-based
strategies that increase achievement and using classroom adaptations that do not
reduce content, yet making the curriculum more accessible to all learners and
checking their socio-economic/emotional well being for us to give whatever
necessary support we can give to our learners.
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 and are excited to go to school everyday. I will do my best to
identify my strengths and then use them to inspire my students, leading to a pos
itive outcome for each pupil. I want to be more equipped and well trained in my chosen
profession that is why I enrolled in graduate studies for me to acquire more knowledge
and skills that I can apply in teaching. I therefore envision myself as finishing my master’s
degree within the next year or so.
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. The
pupils discover and explore new knowledge in a safe, welcoming classroom environment in
order to help the learners find a sense of purpose in their lives through education.
School Community: My vision to my school community is to develop confident and
responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potentials. The parents and
stakeholders are willing to partake in all school activities. The community has strong
leadership to be able to provide support on all school endeavors and attain success.

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 can encourage her pupils to get involved in community projects and
programs that can showcase and develop their potentials. She can also integrate
DepEd’s vision in teaching values by giving emphasis on good morals and old culture
of the Filipinos like giving respect to elders, bayanihan and other activities that will
benefit our learners and our country.

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
sentence
 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 how to socialize with his other classmates and
cooperate with them. Through this activity, he can overcome his shyness and gain
confidence in interacting with other pupils. Teacher Andrew should encourage him to
go beyond his comfort zone and joining the scouting is the perfect avenue for it.

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 facilitate non-discriminatory curricula. Build relevance between
her classroom and her pupils’ lives. Keep a clean and orderly classroom and allow
pupils to be openly expressive and encouraging to others. She should also teach them
good values and discuss with them the importance of respecting individual differences

Key Topic 3: The DepEd Core Values

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 be forced to participate in any religious activity that is not allowed in
their religion. They should learn to respect other people’s religion to avoid
discrimination in the class. Therefore, if one of their classmates does not want to join
or lead the prayer in their class, they should respect it.

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 modeling
strategy like demonstrating or showing how to plant a tree (makakalikasan), using
polite words on mock conversation (makatao). She 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 internalize 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?

 This module has guided and enlightened me, especially in applying DepEd mission,
vision, core values, mandate and strategic directions in teaching. Awareness of these
is crucial for us teachers in order to deliver quality education and produce competitive
individuals. When we know what we are for and what we look forward to in the future

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 involved. If the problem is still not resolved, 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 who is
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 focus on this, he still has subjects that he needs to
prioritize. He should learn to balance his duties as well as his academic subjects to
avoid low 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.

Session 5 – Handling Advisory Classes
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 play 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 successful in life. Now that we are in
the modern era, the role of the teacher also changes. Teachers are responsible in
bringing the lesson to real-life situations to encourage participation of the learners.
Another very important part of the teacher’s role is to monitor learners’ 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 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 implementation of 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 adviser is challenging yet rewarding, especially that I

was assigned as a Grade 6 teacher. They are entering adolescent stage and at the
same time, I am in the lower section, so I experienced a lot of fights among pupils due
to bullying. I had to talk to the parents of the pupils involved so they can discipline their
children. I had to have a lot of patience with them. Some are slow readers so I had to
provide them reading exercises. Day by day, I have learned that I need to study about
effective classroom management. I have to be prepared and organized. I realized
also that each pupil has different learning styles, that is why I must provide varied
activities in my lessons and I must eliminate learning gaps and address my pupils’
needs and interest. Because of this experience, they motivate me to strive my best to
be an excellent teacher and continue my professional growth.
