Session 1 – The DepEd’s Mandate

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

a. Promote quality education?
Dedication and commitment of teachers plays a crucial role in improving the quality
of education and shaping the future of nation. 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 do my very best in parting my knowledge and skills to my
learners. 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. I
will create positive learning environment to ensure that my learners were respected and
valued . To create a classroom where there is love and 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 is to develop well rounded, confident and responsible
individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. We will do this by providing a
welcoming, happy, safe, and supportive learning environment in which everyone is equal,
and all achievements are celebrated.
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.

Her class can make a skit in ESP and in Araling Panlipunan subjects wherein the class
will showcase the love of the country through demonstrating it inside the class or even
outside the class.

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.
Building his self-confidence by praising him, that he can do more than what he thinks.
Just give him the support and positive comments that can motivate him in his journey.
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 ensuring the learners that
when they are in school, they will feel that they are belong and no one will hurt them.
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 we have different religions. In that case
we have also our own beliefs and understanding. 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?

In all aspects we should portray those four Deped Core Values. In that case we are not
only telling them the right but we are imparting them also that being Maka-Diyos,
Makatao, Makalikasan and Makabayan must be observed at all times.

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 tell her right away that I have my class also to attend that day. 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 subject 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. Teachers play an essential role in education, most especially in the lives of the students they
teach in the classroom. What defines a teacher is his/her ability to teach students and a
positive influence on them. Generally, the role of a teacher in education goes beyond
teaching. In today’s world, teaching has different faces, and a teacher has to carry out the part
of being an external parent, counselor, mentor, role model.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.
