NSTP LTS MODULE 2 Man: Image and Likeness of God Gen 1:27-29 Gen 2:7 Human dignity is the intrinsic worth that inheres in every human being. Source of human dignity is rooted in the concept of Imago Dei Latin for Image of God, in Christs redemption and in our ultimate destiny of union with God Human dignity transcends any social order as the basis for right is neither granted by society nor can it be legitimately violated by society. Human dignity = conceptual basis for human right. Every human being should be acknowledged as an inherently valuable member of the human community and as a unique expression of life with an integrated bodily and spiritual nature. People must be conceived as being inherently connected to the rest of society.

Mans Dignity Comes from having a soul Soul is his principle in life. What gives him spiritual nature What makes him like God for it enables him to think and to want. Intellect: power by which men can reason out to things. Will: power which allows men to decide and to carry out that decision.

Because man has a soul, he can be called a person A person is a being with a rational nature. Man is called the image of his maker because he is rational. Something common with God and angels: intellect and will. Men can have a sense of humor Can do so because he has a mind.

With an Intellect, Man can search for Truth He studies the world around him in order to better understand and do things accordingly. With knowledge, he can work for the good of others by producing or making things. He gropes for what is real. His mind is not as encompassing as his Makers. Man can choose to do good. As a person, we have two goals: Temporal: develop ourselves and take an active role in society. Ultimate: to be in union with our Creator. Intellect enables us to acquire necessary knowledge abt the meaning of life. Through it, we are able to discern if our actions are right or wrong. Human will enables us to act on our discernment. We are able to lift our thoughts to the ideals and are able to make judgments.

Each and every one of us is unique.

Distinctive Characters of a Filipino Catholic We are those who: As baptized into discipleship of JC, discover our identity as adopted children of our Father and as members of Christs body, inspired by Mary, our mother. In the breaking of the bread around the table of the Lord, find meaning in sharing ecclesial fellowship wih one another and with Christ, their Priest and their Eucharist In meeting the crucified savior, are sustained in the sufferings and hardships of life, and receive forgiveness for their sins through his sacraments. Commit ourselves to our Risen Lord and His mission thru the gift of faith, celebrated in great Hope in the Sacraments, and lived out in Love and service of their fellow-men. From our world-vision led by the Spirit of the Risen Christ, are experienced in the Christian community which sustains us in our pilgrimage of life-in-christ. Approach and live out this Christian life within the powerful inspiring presence of Mary, our Mother and Model.

Concept of Pagmamahal and Pagmumura Franciscan Venerable Juan de Oliver wrote his Tagalog Decalaracion de los Mandamientos de la Ley de Dios between 1585-1590 First commandment: YBIGUIN mo ang Dios, LALO sa lahat The reasonable man distinguishes within his heart what is good and what is evil; he esteems the precious and what is worthless he treats as worthless. Pagmamahal: a disposition of one being towards another being, by which a degree of value is expressed or symbolized. Pagmumura: inclination to behave toward another who has been considered as valueless or cheap. A parent who loves his children not only sees to it that they do not come to harm They also actively promote their growth into mature people feeds them, educates them, chooses their schools, and helps them decide on their career choice. The nagmamahal parent appreciates and enhances the value of children by every means possible. Pagpapahalaga and pagmamahal: totality of those acts A thing is loved because it is valuable. Pagmamahal therefore is bound up with halaga. To love is to recognize worth or value and to act in a manner consistent with the preservation and enhancement of the value of minamahal. Pagmumura sa kapwa: a verbal expression of how little a person values another. Pagmumura=demeaning of someone by language or by deed

Thomasian Ideals and Aspirations Responsibility: the ability to choose our response. Highly proactive people recognize responsibility

Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values rather than a product of conditions based on feelings. St. Dominic de Guzman Born to a family of nobility in Caleruega, Spain. Grew up in family of saints. Always had a heart for the poor. His fidelity to the church inspired by Dominican ideals of seeking the truth thru contemplation and sharing the fruits of ones contemplations with others. When he founded the ORDER he drew up a program of study. Study was a necessary means thru which order can achieve its mission of preaching and saving souls. His means to find the truth His means to fight enemies with truth. He knew how to pray very well. Constant communion with God Ones faith is nurtured and becomes steadfast and what he is doing. Actively interacts with people. Went from one place to another preaching on foot carrying in his heart the Dominican motto VERITAS Dominicans were mendicant friars. Lived in simplicity. St. Thomas Aquinas When he was 5 y/o his family placed him under the care of the Benedictines of Monte Casino. Teachers surprised at his progress. He surpassed all his fellow pupils in learning and in practice. Renounced things of the world entered Dominicans in 1243 --Naples Gift of perfect chastity = title of Angelic Doctor After study in Naples, studied in Cologne under St. Albert the Great Was called dumb ox because of silent ways and huge size but really brilliant. Age of 22 appointed to teach in that city and published his first works. After 4 years sent to Paris. Age of 31 received his doctorate. He not only wrote but he also preached often and with greatest fruit. Left Summa Theologica unfinished for on his way to the second council of Lyons (ordered by Gregory X), he fell sick and died at the Cistercian monastery of Fossa Nuova in 1274 He is one of the greatest and most influential theologians Canonized in 1323 and declared Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius He never grew tired of seeking the truth and preaching about it. He continued to persevere though not everyone agreed with him. Commitment for truth did not cease or waver.

St Martin de Lima (St Martin de Porres) Dominican priest declared Blessed by Pope Gregory XVI Canonized by Pope John XXII on May 6, 1962 Continues to be greatly revered for his commitment to racial and social justice. He often challenged his brothers on their racial attitudes. He also loved animals. His charity made him the patron saint of social justice. He fed, sheltered and doctored hundreds of families Provided the requisite dowry of 4,000 to enable atleast 27 poor young women to marry. He established the orphanage and school of the holy cross which took in boys and girls of all classes and taught them trades or homemaking skills. He insisted that the staff be well-paid so they would give their best svc. Also extended his healing gifts going to the servants quarters and healing their ailments. His spiritual practices were legendary. Fast for extensive periods of time on bread and water. Loved all night vigils He scourges himself with chains three times a day for the souls in the purgatory, for unrepentant sinners and for his own soul. Showed disciplined life + charity + humility. St Catherine of Siena DOCTOR of the Church St Antonius of Florence social reformer Bartolome de Casas defender of Human rights

Thomasian Core Values Competence Our life and work should always be an example of adherence to the truth and intellectual creativity We are expected to study well in preparation for the kind of life we wish to live in the future. Competent = doing ones best. Competing with yourself Compassion We must live not only for ourselves. We should look into the concerns of othrs. Compassion: passion directed towards people in need. Enables us to focus on others and not giving ourselves Competence + compassion = ensures reign of Gods love and mercy. Commitment We have to give ourselves fully to the ideals that we hold dear We should commit to search for truth unceasingly.

NSTP LTS MODULE 3 Lesson I: Poverty

Almost 1out of 2 Filipinos consider themselves as poor 46 of Filipino families or 40.4M Filipinos of the projected 86M population of 2007 see themselves as poor (Social Weather Stations, Jan 2008) Poverty: inability to secure the minimum consumption requirements for life, health and efficiency on account of insufficient income or property. Requirements: food, clothing, housing, education and health Poverty is present all over the world. Complex problem Many factors involved and may differ in perspectives.

Unemployment: occurs when individuals who are willing to work cannot find jobs. Probable causes: Imbalance of demand and supply of working hours Technological advancement that human force is replaced by machines. Jobless = no financial compensation Cannot meet his obligations cause different problems Unemployed = may feel poor because of inability to secure a job. Developing ones self by acquiring new skills increases the marketability of a person. Another one is being open to career change The fact that there are many who are unemployed does not mean that there are no jobs available.

Informal Setting Another problem that arises from poverty Informal setting: the act of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building, usually residential. Squatters do not own, rent or have permission to use a piece of property Government offers low-cost housing and other NGOs make projects that aim to give housing for people

Globalization Growing integration of economies and societies around the word. Had opened economies domestically and internationally. Has both positive and negative effects Beneficial effects: increase in production, efficiency decrease in product prices improve the position of all parties which may cause increased outputs and increased wage levels and living standard greater potential for greater human well being throughout the world. Negative effects: Negative effects of competition

Lesson II: Health Half a million around the world die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth According to WHO, causes are: Severe bleeding Infections Unsafe abortions Hypertension Obstructed labor More than 90 of the reported deaths come from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa DOH (2003) 45.1 of maternal death were brought about by aforementioned causes. Pregnancy and childbirth does not only concern the mother, but the baby as well. 42.4 Filipino babies suffer from poor maternal health and nutrition, inadequate care during pregnancy and delivery, and lack of care for the newborn baby, infections, birth injury, asphyxia, and problems relating to premature birth. Asphyxia: extreme decrease in oxygen + increase of carbon dioxide loss of consciousness death

Recession Negative effects of globalization are unemployment and economic recession. Recession: significant decline in activity spread across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. Two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth How does it happen? Growth of economy is based on the balance between the production and consumption of goods and services. Economy has to slow down can be caused by oversupply demand for goods will drop earnings and incomes will drop markets fall. Brings about economic difficulties, loss of jobs, increase in the price of basic commodities and others.

Reproductive Health Refers to the state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its function and processes Implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if provided that these are not against the law. Reproductive Health and Population Devt Act (2008)

Unemployment Unemployment rate 7.3% in 2008 2003 10.20% 2004 11.40% 2005 11.70% 2006 8.70% 2007 8.90%

Authorized by Representative Edcel Lagman Aims to grant public funding to family planning methods using artificial contraceptives and sex education Gives access to reproductive health information to avoid unwanted and untimely pregnancies and to limit countrys population. One program: intensify health education Church disagrees opposed the bill and deemed that artificial contraceptives as anti-life and immoral. Couples should practice natural family planning methods Church stressed that instead of allocating funds for family planning, the govt should provide funds to medical svcs to improve the reproductive health of Filipinos Media and technology plays a major part in the sex education of young Filipinos

Three quarters of this fresh water is trapped in ice and snow is what we use. With little water resource, the situation was aggravated by modernization, pollution growth and urbanization. Factors contribute to land, air and water pollution. Land pollution: caused by improper waste disposal and weak recycling practices Wastes go to landfills which are not the solution to the growing problem of waste disposals They pollute the air Different advocacies were launched to prevent environment from deteriorating quickly

Deforestation Destruction of Phil forest is the most rapid and most massive in the world. In a couple of years, only 6 of the Philippine land area will be covered by our forest No wonder we experience landslides, mudslides, abnormal weather patterns and extinction of wild life. Asian Development Bank average annual rate of deforestation in the country is at 1.4% from 1990-2000 Cause: Corruption

Drug Abuse Abuse of drugs is often the cause of crimes in our country Drugs are not dangerous if taken in moderation and with prescription A person who abuses drugs may not realize that he has a problem Only realizes when he is arrested Drug: refers to label drugs which are natural or synthetic substance Reasons for drug abuse: Calming/exciting effects Escape from reality Search for awareness and mysticism Masking pain Blunting anxiety Fighting depression Escaping physical or mental deficits Lighting burden Improving performance Other reasons: Psych disorders Solution to problems Widespread and easy access to drugs Peer pressure Notion that drugs give enjoyment to users in the context that it is used as an alcohol substitute

Illegal Trade of Wild Life International wild life: supplies both the domestic and international markets Wildlife is traded for a number of reasons: Food Consumption Medicines Pets Trophies Decorative purposes Zoo Collections Smuggled exotic animals make way thru the Ro-Ro from neighboring countries One solution: do not patronize Frightening facts: Illegal trade in wildlife is second to illegal drug abuse Ivory trade in 20th century caused the African elephant population to fall by 10M between 1900-1989 9 out of 10 birds caught from the wild for pet trade die before reaching destination. Every year, an area the size of British isle is destroyed Fuel demand for trade in tropical wood. Animals in trade are subjected to stress they can die

Lesson III: Environment Environmental degradation: one of the unsolved issues all over the world. Access to safe food, clean water and air is not as easy anymore.

Pollution World bank said that there is a possible water scarcity in our country by 2025 and around 1.4B of the people wont have access to safe water. 7M die yearly due to water-borne diseases 2.2M are under 5yearsold Only 2.5 of the 70% of the earth water is fresh.

Lesson IV: Education Literacy Information in the Philippines DepEd only 58 for every 100 students who went to grade one reached HS and only 14 finished college. 2004 UNESCO Commission in the Philippines only 22 enter 1st year college and finish.

Mode of Travel to School More than half of the people aged 6-24 went to school by walking. Tricycle and jeep common transpo 2 out of 5 take tricycle and jeepney. Reasons for not Attending School Of the 34M populations aged 6-24, 34% or 11.6M does not attend school 30% does not attend because they are working. 22% lacked interest in going to school 20% could not afford cost of education. Basic or Simple Literacy 62M of Filipinos aged 10 and above, around 93% were basically literate. Basic/Simple Literacy: ability to read and write with understanding of a simple message in any language/dialect. 2003 similar to 1994 94% Females 94.3% Male 92.6%

It is also a responsibility of every Filipino Every citizen is entitled to vote and cant be deterred from fulfilling this function Voting: one of Filipinos alienable rights Article 1 Sec 4 Omnibus Election Code It shall be the obligation of every citizen qualified to vote to register and cast his vote By casting his vote Filipino makes himself a part of the nations conscience Filipino is charged with the responsibility to promote and uphold what is beneficial to the common good. When a Filipino chooses to forfeit his privilege he makes himself an apathetic bystander Whom should you vote for? Character Integrity Competence

Picturing State of Education Challenges facing the nation: Chairs Electric fan Classroom Teachers Literacy: one of the critical components of human development Foundation upon which all learning throughout life is based. Provides means for greater anticipation in all spheres of society Low level can limit individual in decision-making and can make it difficult to for them to exercise their fundamental citizenship rights.

Lesson V: Governance Politics originated from word polis which means city state Generally refers to the process by which groups of people make decisions. Art and science of governing, especially of a political entity and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs Governance: continuous exercise of authority over a political unit Difference between the two? Politics: involves processes by which a group of people with initially different opinions or interests arrive at common decisions usually regarded as compulsory on the group, and enforced as a common policy Governance: suggests the administrative and processoriented elements of governing rather than its aggressive ones.

Voters Education Program: To Responsible Voting Why should you vote? Voting/Suffrage: the privilege and right given to every Filipino citizen.

MODULE4 Lesson 1: Community Development Vision of Community Development:

We are all part of a community Most of us belong to more than one community UST strong and established educational community for higher learning we share, transmit and promote our identity to all the new Thomasians. Communities can also be defined by common cultural heritage, language, and beliefs or shared interests also called communities of interest. Community: a geographical area where a group of people live in a common life linked together by factor such as religious belief, sexual orientation, occupation, or ethnic origin, and a shared sense of belongingness. (Coloma and Herrera) Development: Gradual unfolding, a fuller working out of the details, of noted changes or growing improvement. Has meant different things at different times in relation to changing circumstances and sensibilities. Prof Elmer Ferrer: development does not necessarily mean growth; it is however about change, positive change. Community Development: Planned evolution of all aspects of community well-being (economic, social, env, cultural) Not a quick fix for the day-to-day operations of the community Follows a planned process that is long-term and integrated. Process is long and tedious Every step must be carefully planned and monitored. A process of facilitating people and actualizing themselves and therefore discover their identities and possibilities and connection with each other and the world. Not a new concept in the country. Balangay each is related and headed by a leader Through the years it has evolved and developed with the aid of western ideologies and teachings which is being applied based on the needs of the people in the community. The improvement, growth, and change of geographic area and its people from conventional to modern ways , from crudeness to refinement, from ignorance to learning, from faultiness to virtuosity Goals of community development: Community development is people-centered Peoples welfare Comm dev is for the people.

It is impt to place their welfare above anything else FF endeavour has to be achieved: Improved quality of life Help people acquire coherence and meaning of life Lead people towards achieveing sustainability and self-determination. Peoples capacity All people and community have a certain amt of capacity no one is without capacity, but often we need to develop Heart of capacity building is the people It would take capacity to achieve a healthy community as well as good leadership, viable plan, motivation and the support of the people from the community Capacity: ways and means to do what has to be done Broader than simply skills, people and plans. Includes commitment, resources and all that is brought to bear on a process and make it successful Indication that capacity is developing: people are being active, interested and participating with what is going on More and more people will be getting involved, identifying key issues and taking action. Peoples participation Active community participation is the heart that pumps the communitys life blood its citizens into becoming an improved community. Community participation is critical to community success Bordenave: participation is a joint effort of people for achieving a common impt objective previously defined by them. Paul: Community participation is and active process whereby beneficiaries influence the direction and execution of the development projects rather than merely receiving a share of the project benefits. Far more than a requirement A condition for success. Studies have documented that communities that engaged their citizens and partners deeply in the work of comm. Dev raise more resources, achieve more results, and develop in a more holistic and an ultimatelymore-beneficial way. Collective action Empowerment Refers to increasing political, social and economic strength of individuals Often involves developing confidence in their own capacities. Increasing capacities of individuals/groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. Central to this process are actions which both build individual and collective assets, and improve the efficiency of organizations and institutions. Empowered people have freedom of choice and action. Enables them to better influence the course of their lives and the decisions which affect them.

Process: To think to express oneself to belong to a group to be recognized and respected to create and recreate ones cultural environment to have a say in decisions affecting ones life empowerment Goals of comm. Dev lead us to empowerment Empowerment is most essential to comm. Dev How can we empower our brothers and sisters? Cooperation About taking an active part in the community of which you are an impt member Voluntary association for mutual benefit About the people who are affected by the decisions being the people who makes the decisions About having your voice heard. Education Not only increases a persons economic opportunities Also serves as catalyst for social change Key factor for sustainable development. My Pedagogic Creed (John Dewey): Educ is fundamental method of social progress Educ is regulation of the process of coming to share in the social consciousness; and that the adjustment of individual activity on the basis of this social consciousness is the only sure method of social reconstruction. A continuing reconstruction of experience. Process and goal of educ is one and the same

Lesson 2: Community Organizing Community Organization Process by which the people organize themselves to take charge of their situation and thus develop a sense of being a community together A particularly effective tool for the poor and powerless as they determine for themselves the actions they will take to deal with the essential forces that are destroying their community and consequently causing them to be powerless. Rev. Robert Linthicum, World Vision International Winston Churchill: We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give Application of principles and methods for effecting change in which the community groups are helped to identify the common problems or goals, mobilize resources and in other ways develop and implement strategies for reaching the goals they have set. Values-based process By which People (most often low and moderate income people previously absent from decisionmaking tables) are brought together in organizations to jointly act in the interest of their communities and the common good People involved in CO learn how to take greater responsibility for the future of their communities, gain in mutual respect and achieve growth as individuals

In Phil setting CO is seen as systematic, planned and liberating change process of transforming a community into an organized, conscious empowered, self-reliant, just and humane entity and institution In a nutshell CO is people working together to get things done (Si Kahn) Goals: Peoples Empowerment People will become conscious that they possess power power to assert their rights and to have a hand in decisions that will affect their lives. Enable people to think that there are opportunities for change and development thru cooperation and collective action Improved Quality of Life People learn to secure short and long term improvements in their standards of living as soon as they receive access to their basic needs Leadership and Mobilization Leaders are identified and developed They gain knowledge, skills and proper attitude required by their task in comm. Dev Social Transformation Community organizing seeks to change the life of the community and the whole society into a democratic, self-reliant, nationalistic, and self governing entity that can respond to bigger concerns like env problems and indiv needs Principles Go to the people, live among the people CO organizers can decide which approach can be employed best if they know and feel what the community believes, does, and wants to attain. Learn, Plan, and work with the people Organizer must be open to what the people want to achieve and how they plan to achieve it. He should facilitate changes and ensure that residents participate in the whole process of planning, decision making, implementing and evaluating of activities Start with and build on what the people know Organizer should begin with the indigenous resources, technologies and structures that a community has, Teach by showing, learn by doing Organizers should demonstrate procedures or techniques not just merely give instructions so people could learn easily Not by piecemeal but by an integrated approach CO is an interrelationship of different factors Cooperation System of the residents must be used until the majority of the people are provided with the basics in their daily life Not relief but release CO liberates a community from its problems Problems do not recur in their orig forms but are resolved on a long term basis What does it take to be a good community organizer? Soul of organizing is the people

Organizer may be paid or work as a volunteer They can differ in strategies, tactics, even on what seems to be moral values BUT all organizers believe in the people, the ability of regular folks to guide their lives, to speak for themselves, to learn the world and how to make it better (Dave Beckwith and Randy Stoeker) To become a community organizer, you must have: Imagination Sense of humor Blur vision of a better world Organized personality Strong ego/sense of oneself Free, open mind and political relativity Ability to create new out of the old (Saul Alinsky) Phases of CO (Mr Jose Cruz III, Dir of OCD UST 2009) Area-site Selection Comm chosen for CO are those that are generally described as marginalized, those that are unserved, underserved, and are economically depressed Chosen based on needs a need that an external agent would like to address and may have capacity to address Additional criteria: Location Distance Safety of the comm. Organizer General acceptance of the community to comm. organizing and development work also plays a impt factor in selection of community Entry to the Community Some call it integration or immersion This is when the organizer goes to the community, lives with the people and assimilates into community life. To understand the community and allow community to know you, you must be one of them and be one with them. Organizers dont do it but get others to do it. Organizers are simply facilitators and implementers. Must do: Hold courtesy call to local leaders Be prepared to explain purpose of visit NEver promise anything dont raise the hopes of the community particularly in the things that we cant deliver Assume simplicity and clothing Act in a behaviour that will be a positive reflection of you, your family and the University Have fun. Always greet everybody with a smile. Community Study Immersion should have given you a good idea of what the community is It is time to formalize and conduct community study or profiling This is also called: Community diagnosis Social investigation

Comm investigation Social analysis Spotting Potential Leaders In the course of working and interacting with the community, you will get the chance to know them better You will also notice that there are indivs who show more concern and are more active in the community and have considerable influence and leadership among others. They are the potential leaders Identify them because they will be able to help you in your organizing work. You will also get know some of our partner communities and some of our local leaders observe them, talk with them, try to pick up some of their traits that qualify them as leader Core Group Formation Organizing is a daunting task if you would place all the responsibility on yourself You cant and must not do that As you identify potential leaders, meet them as a group plan and divide the activities with everybody work gets easier and everybody feels responsible for the success and therefore will slowly build up the comm. organization Core group serves as the building Community Organization May take on different forms. This is the phase when you formalize your organization which must be: Clearly identified, articulated reason for being. Captured in statement of vision, mission and goals. A general statement may suffice Community Organization and Dev plan: Objectives Activities Resources needed Timeframe Responsible persons Expected output Have a semblance of a structure May even have their policies Mobilization Actual implementation or activity phase When you along with the community put your plans into action. Remember: We work with the community and not for them Use available resources in the community Have fun Evaluation and Follow Up Eval: process of assessing what has been done and its impact Comm. Organizing is both a process and an output

Proj may seem to fail but still produce learning experiences that are in the long term, beneficial to the community. May evaluate activity based on ff criteria Effectiveness Did we full achieve our objectives? What are the factors that facilitated the achievement of objectives? Organizational/group Community factors Efficiency What resources were utilized in the project? How much time was spent for the whole project? Was it enough? Was time used wisely? How were these resources utilized? Is the output commensurate to the resources utilized? Adequacy Is the project sufficient for the identified problem? If not, what other proj could contribute to the solution of the problem identified? Appropriateness Was it the right project to solve the problem? Was it a suitable solution to the problem? Your subsequent action would be based on the result of your evaluation. At this point, you should also be weaning the community with your direct influence in the decision making. Slowly your presence is less felt and you are now in exit phase. You occasionally visit the community to follow up/monitor their progress and provide assistance only when needed and expressed.

Module 5 Project Management: An Overview Program: a sequenced group of plans and activities combined to meet a certain goal or give a specific product or service Usually ongoing Consists of interrelated and independent projects. Project: a temporary execution of a designed plan to create a specific product or service, which is usually constrained by a definite schedule, set of task, budget and goal. Project may be temporary but it is a progressive work developmental Management: act and processes that leads to the completion of a desired goal. Involves a definite set of principles, goals, tools and skills, or all resources to get things done by an organization. all of the processes assoc with defining, planning, and executing the project are considered part of project management. Different resources are involved in project management: Human resources Financial resources Technological resources Natural resources Proper supervision of these resources will lead to a successful project. Program manager/supervisor: whom you recognize as your facilitator Project manager: team leader within your group. Heads the overall program and communicates with the program manager so that he can be updated with the current situation of each project, whether it is still in line with the overall program. Also consults changes with a program manager and gives timely report to monitor the progress of the project.

Overview of Project Management Phases Assessment: act of determining the importance, value and goal of the project. Create a profile of the community and identify target of project Where to start? Ask the right questions Identify the problem correctly. May be done thru assessment, data collection or profiling. Some questions to be asked? What is the general state of the community? Where you give a general area description and demographic profile. May cite condition of the community based on their economic, educ, env, health political and social sitch. Asses your group. Who are involved? When do you plan to execute the proj? How long will it run? What resources are at hand? Project profile set of data that helps identify the characteristics and features of a community. Attempts to describe the community, highlights area that needs to be developed, reveals possibilities, and helps place a benchmark for your project. Forms of Profiling Individual action research Done by a community worker/parish minister who is new to the area Gives them an orientation of what the community is, and what they can do for the community. Will be done if the OCD/NSTP has no profile available for the community we will be acting as community worker who will research on the community profile. Focused Profile Centers on what needs to be addressed and known from the community

Information needed is already predetermined. Can be used when program has already an existing project Tools and methods used for profiling: Census information NSO releases info and figures about the different sectors in the country which can be used to create a profile or as a basis for your profile. Maps There are several maps available commercially Contain different info that will be helpful with your profiling such as the crops and livestocks found in that community, Prior research Some areas already have profiles provided by the bgy or other organizations that have previously conducted projects in the area. Researchers will be helpful in further enhancing your own profile. Surveys By using a questionnaire or survey form, you can do a face-to-face interview with the residents to better understand their community. Community profile may vary depending on the program that you are under. Some communities already have a profile that can be found at the OCD/NSTP office For some new communities, you would need to come up with an informative profile. Profile questionnaires may vary depending on your NSTP program. Planning Whats Next? After assessing, we can start to build on a possible solution. Without proper planning, you are bound for a disaster instead of success. In ever endeavour, you have to be prepared.

Without preparation, you might be caught unaware by the obstacles that you will encounter, and due to being unprepared, you will encounter a lot of problems. By failing to be prepared, you are preparing to fail. You prepare by setting and formulating a well laid plan for your project. Plan: a detailed formulation of a program action. Set of tasks that your group intends to do. Structured diagram or procedure that is arranged beforehand to help attain a specified goal. No plan, No control. J. Lewis (Fundamentals of Project Mgmt): Control is exercised by comparing where you are to where you are supposed to be. Plan will be your guideline as you go along with the project. Without a plan, group is bound to be off-control, implementation bound to result to a catastrophe. A plan keeps you focused and organized -> points out who should be doing the task and when, which things to do, and what to be ready with. Plan should be well-thought and discussed so project will be effective. Creating a plan should not be shouldered by leader alone. Members involved should also help plan the project. Group should use SMART as guideline to goals in your project: Specific dont be too vague or wordy Measurable rate the target that you want to achieve Attainable dont set a very high expectation or a fictitious idea should be susceptible to changes and mistakes Realistic should be practical, and not just an idea that can be made possible. Consider resources at hand Time-bound project will be completed within a reasonable timeframe. Every plan should start with a goal in mind. What are these objectives?

 Objective specifies a desired end result to be achieved. Things that you intend to do and accomplish in the program Will serve as your guide as you go about with your project Measuring sticks to know if you have achieved what your project intended to get done. Should follow these aspects: HEAD (cognitive): affects thinking process commitment HEART (affective): affects emotions and expressions compassion HANDS (psychomotor): focuses on physical and kinaesthetic skills competence. Implementation Step done to carry out and put into action the plan that the group has prepared Provide the power and authority necessary to accomplish or put something into effect. Guidelines: No faculty supervisor; no parental consent: NO TRIP Do not be late. Respect each others time. Avoid being cause of delay Wear and bring modest working clothes. Wear NSTP shirt Expect to hike and get soiled Be prepared and do not bank on residents for your needs Avoid a grand entrance and raise peoples expectations when entering the community Do not look for comforts of your own home Dont be pretentious never pretend that you know anything. Be courteous and polite to the people of the community and be an active listener. Main purpose: ensure that you empower residents with skills that will help them progress and enrich their lives. Immerse with the community adjust to them and dont look for luxury you are used to.

Make sure that when you are done with your project, they would be able to manage their own and have a long-term use of what you imparted to them. We are to give service, make sure you do your best and act responsibly. Etiquettes in taking pictures: Do not block someones view of the event Never be rude not everyone wants to waste their pictures taken especially when what they are doing is private Do not put yourself or anyone else in danger by your actions. Do not expect special treatment When in doubt if something is okay, ASK Take pictures of the activity especially while it is being conducted. Prioritize taking pictures of implementers while doing the activity. Monitoring Regular observation done To check how the project is progressing Do the ff project: Analyze sitch in the community and its project Verify whether resources used in the project are well utilized and allocated Isolate problems and make necessary adjustments in the plan Make certain that all activities are done properly by the right people and in time. Determine whether the way the proj was planned is most appropriate, adequate, effective and efficient way of solving the problem at hand. Where your proposed plan can come helpful may be used as a basis for monitoring. Can also aid you in making sure that objectives and goals are achieved. Evaluation Process of carefully examining and determining the worth or the merit of the project Form an idea of the amount or value of;assess Applied to provide feedback that will be helpful for future projects.

 Used to identify whether project should be continued or cancelled. Will lead back to the objectives cited at the start of project. Things to consider: Was it adequate for the goal of the program? Is it the appropriate project for the community? For the program? Was the execution effective? Was the distribution of the resources efficient? Is the effect of the program long term? Did you empower the community? Project development is an interrelated process of implementing projects that is ongoing process. Involves different resources which your group has utilize wisely and efficiently for a successful and effective project outcome. In developing project, identify the problem, needs or concerns of the community profile formulate possible solutions or responses for the said concerns project must be SMART and everyone must give inputs and share in planning of project execute, monitor and evaluate plans to check effectiveness and efficiency of project implemented

Basic Steps in LP Formulate goals and aims to accomplish Plan challenging goals for the students according to their abilities Aims should be smart specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound Selecting and organizing the subject matter Teacher should anticipate situations that are to be met, and what materials, activities, information, understanding and skills are necessary to achieve the goals. Recommendation: subject matter must be selected closely as possible to solve or understand daily activities and problems of the students. Possess a mastery of the subject It is the teacher who will provide the focus and direction of classroom experiences Determining the methods and procedures in planning Try to incorporate a variety of procedures into the plan so that maximum efforts will be secured from the pupils, indiv differences will be met, and boredom could be avoided. Includes art of questioning, motivation, and teaching strategy Evaluating the effectiveness of the procedure Intelligent teaching requires eval. Eval must be focused on the teaching and learning of the pupils the ability of an effective teacher to evaluate the growth of each pupil will be a factor to determine whether the teacher succeeded in teaching the subject matter or not. Includes recitation, quizzes and reviews Revisions Plan must be flexible to make any necessary changes possible Giving the assignments Assignment: another impt phase in teaching. Aim: give pupils definite work to do and to guide and to stimulate them for the performance of such work. Result in educative experience

Lesson Proper Lesson plan serves as a blueprint for a teacher Provides the general framework for the work of the day or term that would be carried out Bossing (1952): a lesson plan is a statement of achievements to be realized and the specific means by which these are to be attained as a result of the activities engaged in day by day under the guidance of the teacher Purpose of lesson planning: the improvement of teaching by the teachers and of the learning by the learners Well-made plan will give the teacher a feeling of confidence and security in the classroom She will have a definite and appropriate experience ready to develop with students.

 Must bring interest of the student to the past or new lesson Types of Lesson Plans Detailed LP type used by first time teachers. Just like script of play: write down all questions and the expected answers of students,. Semi-detailed LP simply contains the Lesson procedures and guide questions for students. Brief LP contains very short description of the activity and is usually guided by a course outline. Basic Parts of a LP Title includes the type of LP that you will use, the name of the teacher and the date of teaching. Objectives place aims or objectives for your LP. Must be clear and measurable. Stated by the phrase, at the end of the lesson, the students are expected to... Subject Matter Provides main facts and concepts of the lesson. Materials include the instructional materials you will use may be a blackboard, visual aids, or a projector. Procedure includes lesson proper, specifically the teacher and student activities. Two column form one side for teachers actvt and another for the students. Motivation: in a detailed LP, it is where we write the opening prayer, the greetings, the motivation to be used (a quote, game or anecdote) Discussion: place main content of the subject and also includes guide questions and expected answers Summary/Closing Activity: where we write the closing remarks, summary, and generalization of the lesson. Evaluation or Assignment: serves to measure the learners comprehension or their preparation for the next lesson. If teacher want to teach her lesson very well, he must have a blueprint that will serve as a guide throughout the session.

Very first step in making a LP is formulating the objectives which are the things that the teacher wants to attain at the end of every lesson. One of the most popular proponents of education, Benjamin Bloom conceptualized the BLOOMS TAXONOMY Blooms taxonomy objectives Three main domains of educational activities (Bloom): Cognitive domain: focuses on mental skills Affective domain: concentrates on the growth in feelings or emotional areas of a child (attitude) Psychomotor domain: physical movement, coordination, and use of motor skills Diagram gave emphasis on the five levels of cognitive domain: Knowledge, comprehension, application, synthesis, and evaluation Provides the right words/verbs to be used and suitable activities for you to meet the objectives that you want your students to learn. There are so many activities to give the students 00 you can even create one if you want to. Objectives should be made specific so you know if youre able to meet them and make activities suitable for the learner Evaluating Lesson Plan Measures how much the students learned from the lesson that was taught. Also shows the impact of the lesson to the learner Will reveal effectiveness and efficiency of the LP in the teaching protocol LP evaluating tool When giving feedbacks, provide a number in the rating column. Use NA if statement is not applicable. Comment sections can be added to each statement or as provided under each broad section 5 (outstanding), 4 (abv ave), 3 (satisfactory) 2 (below ave) 1 (unsatisfactory Effectiveness Efficiency
