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 pr acticing 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.

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. 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 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 full fill, 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 ar e 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.
