MODULE 6: THE SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY LINKAGES
very good in singing. How will you respond to the request of the barangay chairman.

 place for a more favorable outcome.

Case Analysis No. 2

Mr. Gregorio L. Ocampo, the father of Walter who is one of your learners, visited your school at 6:30
in the morning and was angry about what happened to his child the other day. According to Mr.
Ocampo, his son went home with a bruise on his arm due to quarrel with one of his classmates during
your class period. How would you react to the angry parent?
I will tell him to calm down first and ask him for a private conversation between me, as the teacher, and him, as the
 parent regarding the matter. As the teacher, I will not let him confront the student who quarreled with his son
without the guardian of the other party. If he still insists on seeing the student involved, I call the guardian for a
settlement.

Case Analysis No. 3

You were assigned to teach Computer Literacy in your new school. Though you know basic
information about computer, you are fully aware that your knowledge about it is still limited. You came
to know that one of your parents in school is an ICT coordinator in the school division. How will you
approach the parent? You know that there are documents to accomplish as you respond to the situation,
what will you do as a beginning teacher?
 As a teacher, we must build partnership with our stakeholders. The best way to address the situation id to ask
the parent for technical assistance since he/she is the expert on the field. Send a letter to his superior asking
 permission to give a lecture. If denied, then ask for the materials needed and study them.

Case Analysis No. 4

You came to a remote school without a gate and even a fence that would help secure the children
in the school. How would you start accomplishing the projec t? Who are the people you need to approach
in doing so? Why?
I will ask the help of the parents through the PTA Officers and also the Barangay Official to
complete the project. Present a project proposal and inform them regarding the advantages of
materializing the projects. Their suggestions should be taken into consideration.

 After the first part of the lesson, work in partnership with your school head and ask how you will respond to
the following situations.\

1. A mother came in and hit the child who was seated beside her daughter while you were in
front of the class teaching, what will you do?
 Attend to them right away and put enough distance between them for the child’s safety.
Seclude those who are involve immediately and ask the help of the Guidance Counsellor to settle
the issue. Always bear in mind the Child Protection Policy.

2. A group of parents organized themselves and bought a very big television for your classroom
without your knowledge. How will respond to the situation?
 Accept it and be thankful because it is for the students learning development and the parent’s initiates on
buying t he television on their own. Also, inform your head regarding this parent’s project and inform that
they did that in their own will and not because of demand.
