Understandings
 Cooperating school refers to the public or private elementary / high school where
the teaching intern undergoes off campus teaching under a cooperating teacher
who assists him/her on his/her teaching stint.
  The cooperating school serves as a training ground or laboratory of teaching. The
prospective teacher gets the “feel” of the school and the “feel” of being a “real”
teacher.
 A teacher training program greatly depends on how well the internship program is
carried out in the cooperating schools.

The characteristics of cooperating school that nurture and inspire teacher participation:
friendly atmosphere where the learners and other members of the community live in
love, care, and understanding

safe and secure environment where the learners and other members of the community
are free from hazards, accidents, and other calamities.

positive and non-threatening environment where respect, fairness, support, and

communication are present in the entire school system
The Schools’ Vision / Mission

A clear vision and a common mission identify the learning to be aligned and achieved to
help the school, its staff, and students on target.

 Vision statement describes the school as it would appear in the future.

 Mission statements are the how to “statements” or action plans that help the
school achieve its vision. They prompt change and growth.
– Peterson, 1995

 Goals are statement of what needs to be accomplished to implement the strategy.

 Core Values are the fundamental beliefs of a person, school, or organization. These
guiding principles dictate behavior and help people to understand right or wrong.
These create an unwavering guide to determine if they are on the right path in
fulfilling their goals.

 Graduate Attributes are the qualities, skills, and understandings a school/

university community agrees its student should develop during their time with the

attributes

How does performance task 1 on knowing the school’s profile connect to the Philippine
Professional Standards for teachers?

Performance task 1 on knowing the school’s profile connect to the Philippine Professionals
Standards for teachers As a student teacher intern, you will be expected to fulfill a variety of
assignments. You will teach different subjects in a self-contained classroom or concentrate on
an area of specialization, such as special education or a particular subject, such as English or
social science. The duration of intern teaching will vary depending on your internship program
 How does the school’s profile connect to your learning as a teaching intern?
School’s profile connect to your learning as a teaching intern You will learn the finer details of
teaching from your mentor, including ways to improve your teaching, how to maintain
classroom discipline, how to plan successfully, and how to deal with students with different
abilities or learning problems. Try to learn as much as possible from your mentor to get the
maximum benefit out of your internship program.

What is the impact of knowing the school’s information on student learning?

 School information impacts morale and student learning. Including students in creating the
physical environment can enhance that environment, increase the feeling of classroom
community, and give students a sense of empowerment

PERFORMANCE TASK 2: Complete the structured frame.

How can you concretize the school’s vision, mission, goals, and expected graduate
attributes in your lessons?

I can concretize the school’s VMG by looking at every single activity (sports trips, extracurriculars, hall
policies, homework policies, teacher requirements, everything) and see if each one reflects the mission. If
not, make changes. An outsider should be able to look at any aspect of the school and see that the mission
is being carried out there. When a school goes through accreditation, this is one thing that is looked at.
Committees help when you're gathering all this info.

PERFORMANCE TASK 3: Get a sample lesson that shows the VMS was integrated in the
learning plan.

IV. Procedure:

a. Motivation: The teacher will introduce the song “Anak ng Pasig” by Smokey Mountain
through an audio presentation. Let the trainees sing the song.

“Anak ng Pasig”

Ako'y umusbong sa tabi ng Pasig

Nagisnan ang ilog na itim ang tubig
Lumaking paligid ng bundok na umuusok
Langhap na langhap ang amoy ng basurang bulok

Ito ang buhay ng anak ng Pasig

Pa-swimming swimming sa itim na tubig
Playground lang ang bundok ng basura mo
Musika'y ugong ng kotse at bangka n'yo

Anak ng Pasig naman kayo

Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
 
Akala ko'y ganoon talaga ang mundo
Hanggang nakakita ako ng lumang litrato
Di maniwalang Pasig din ang tinitignan ko
Kaibigan ano ang nangyari dito
(Anong nangyari? Anong nangyari?)
 
 Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Tapon doon, tapon dito
Di n'yo alam ang tinatapon n'yo
Ay bukas ko at ng buong mundo
 
Huli na ba ang lahat
Patay na ba ang ilog at dagat
Kapag Pasig ay pinabayaan
Parang bukas ang tinalikuran
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Tapon doon, tapon dito
Di n'yo alam ang tinatapon n'yo
Ay bukas ko at ng buong mundo
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
May bukas pa ang ating mundo.

What are your thoughts about the song? What message does
the songs conveys?

b. Presentation:

Reading Information or knowing details of a story or an event is important to gather facts or

information. Through reading an article it helps build comprehension skills and vocabulary.

c. Lesson Proper

According to Baraceros (2005, p. 69), the term details are “particular facts, or ideas related to
the topic, to the events, and to the character presented by the author into the selection. To
understand the selection easily, you must know how to identify the details and which of these are
essential to the story”.

He added that identifying details can be done through:

1. perceiving clearly or identifying the information or details presented by the author;
2. identifying the subject matter of the topic; and
3. determining those things that are closely related to the topic.

For Example:
 Steven Smith, a Nigerian citizen, tall, dark and a good looking man, rides on a ferry boat for fun
experience of his trip to the Philippines.

*The sentence shows the details about the characteristics of Steven Smith that are a Canadian
citizen, tall and a good looking man.

Pasig River

Pasig River is known as Ilog Pasig in Filipino, a popular river that connects Manila Bay in
Manila and Laguna de Bay in Laguna. It stretches 25 kilometers and serves as a major transport
route and source of water. In early 1500s, commerce and daily needs of people have pressed Pasig
River and its tributaries into a tireless service (Maranga, n.d.)

During the Spanish period, the Pasig River has functioned as a means of transportation and has
become a source of people’s livelihood. The Spanish settlers established Manila. They built the
City of Intramuros where one can see the churches like Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church,
Plaza de Roma, Palacio del Gobernador and Plaza de Santa Isabela. The Fort Santiago and Rizal
Shrine, are the nearest places to the southern bank of Pasig River near its mouth

After World War II, the population in Manila began to grow and construction of infrastructures
has affected and started to contaminate near the river. Large amount of garbage has been dumped
in the river daily which has caused destruction and has been declared as a dead river (Maranga,
n.d).

Bethge (2006, para 1) pointed out that in the novel of Jose Rizal “El Filibusterismo,” he
describes how a captain navigates “Tabo” on the Pasig River to the Laguna Bay. The Pasig River is
rich in fish, mangroves grow and bamboo bushes. In 1820, a Cholera epidemic broke out causing a
big damage of the river system.

However, the port of Manila was extended further at the end of the 19 th century and Pasig River
was canalized. It enabled a safer and more productive use of waterway to the Laguna de Bay
(Bethge, 2006, para 6).

Later, industrialization started to grow and more business was opened causing water pollution
of the river. People’s livelihood was affected and 30 years later, the ferry transportation has
stopped.

In the late 1980s, the rehabilitation of Pasig River has started with the help of Denmark. The so-
called Pasig River Rehabilitation Program (PRRP) was established together with the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as the main agency with the coordination of the
Danish International Development Assistance (DANIDA). The community, local governments,
professional associations and business groups establish cooperation with the PRRP. In 1999,
President Joseph Estrada signed the Executive Order No. 54 constituting the Pasig River
Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) to replace the old PRRP.

Private organizations such as Clean and Green Foundations implemented the Sagip Pasig
Movement and Piso para sa Pasig campaign, the Belgian government also offered P20 million for
dredging the waterways.

In October 10, 2010, the “Run for Pasig River” has reached an estimated of 116,000 Filipinos to
race fund for Pasig River and has put into Guinness World Record as the most numbered of
participants in a footrace set by San Francisco’s “Bay to Breakers” race in 1988.
 Pasig River is back into its business operation in February 14, 2007, with 14-air conditioned
ferry stations designed by Robert Cole. It has 150 seating capacity, air conditioned room and high-
definition television on board, bar and a comfort room (Maranga, n.d)

Now, Pasig River is back to life. People enjoy cruising for a fun ferry experience. More tourists
are coming to see not just the beauty of the river but also the beauty of Manila.
