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 students but also shaping the behaviors, attributes, and
character of learners.
As a newly hired 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.

I can uphold equity in education by giving equal opportunity among my students

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 learners to excel.

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.

b. uphold equity in education?

c. Respond to the needs of the 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?

Myself: 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
students 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 students 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 Andrew 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/students 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.

Required Task 3: Reflection

After going through this module, (DepEd Mandate, Vision, Mission, Core Values, and
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 the 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/students. 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 learners 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 students

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 its cover”, because I realized that as
a teacher, I should not judge my students 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 learners 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 students 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 counselor 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 need to attend. I will advise her to
message the school head that she can longer go to school, and she needs 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 fullfill, but I will also
remind him that he should not just focus on this, he still has subjects that need 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.

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 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 4: Reflection

The following are some ways that can help you create a motivating and conducive
environment. How are you going to illustrate these ways in your own classroom? Limit
your response to 100-150 words per question.

a. Hold and communicate high behavioral expectations for your learners and
yourself.

To be an effective teacher, the teacher should set high behavioral expectations to his
learners and himself. This doesn’t mean that you are being strict but a way of
believing that the students should always strive to achieve their best. Some example
of these are :
1.Teach about growth mindset.
2.Focus on effort not excellent
3.Express unconditional positive regards
4.Set achievable but difficult task

b. Establish clear rules and procedures and instruct learners on how to follow
them. Give prim ary-level learners, in particular, a great deal of instruction,
practice, and reminding.

To establish clear rules and procedures for my learners, I will involve my pupils in
setting classroom rules and procedures so that they know on how to follow and aware
of their consequences once they failed to obey. I will post the classroom rules where
it is visible to all learners so that everybody is always reminded to follow the rules.
