V. SESSION 5: SPECIAL EDUCATION

Pre-Test
Write words or phrases in the graphic organizer below to represent your
understanding of Special Education.

1. Why this particular program?

- because it is an inclusive education and accepted now in our society, and it is part now
of our K to 12 curriculum.

14
2. Who are the clients?
- Special education is designed for those students who are mentally, physically, socially
and or emotionally delayed, and those students who are gifted and talented.
3. How is Sped implemented?
- Through child find, and distance learning that designed to the needs of learners with
various exceptionalities.

Reflection
You have accomplished the task with great proficiency and it is commendable.
Looking back at the discussions and activities, write your reflections on the following:

 What concepts about special education had a great impact on you?

-Students with special needs often have difficulty

understanding long-winded or several instructions at once.
For children with learning disabilities, it is best to use simple,
concrete sentences. You might have to break down a step into
a few smaller steps to ensure your students with special
needs understand what you are asking. You might even want
to put the directions both in print and saying them verbally.
Ask your students with special needs to repeat the directions
and ask them to demonstrate that they understand. Do not
give further instructions until a student has completed the
previous task.

 What is your professional obligation towards these learners with disabilities and
giftedness?

- Children with learning disabilities often feel like they do not

succeed in certain areas, but structuring lessons that lead to
successful results is a way to keep them motivated. Provide
immediate reinforcement for accomplishments, be consistent with
rules and discipline, correct errors and reward students when they
make these corrections themselves, explain behavioral
expectations, and teach and demonstrate appropriate behaviors
rather than just expecting students with special needs to pick them
up.

 What is your personal commitment in helping your learners with special needs?

-As a teacher of Learners with Special Educational Needs, I

always give my best in teaching them. As a new teacher and
assigned to handle LSEN (Learners with Special Educational Needs)
these have helped me realized how vital my function is in building
the nation, promoting quality education, and producing students
who well-equipped with lifelong-learning skills. Thus, it rekindled the

15
 passion burning within me in aspiring to become a committed
teacher. Handling my pupils and seeing them learning gives me
inspiration to do more and give my best in teaching. I have learned
that teaching these children with special educational needs to have
deeper understanding in their special cases, be more patience, and
be thankful to have them as my pupils. I also care for them and love
them as my own child. Having them enlightens me to not see the
hardships in teaching but to be inspired in teaching and see their
worth.

Post-Test
Let us test how far have you gone in understanding special education by
having the post-test. Write key concepts or ideas for each heading.

1. Why this particular program?

- Because it is an inclusive education and accepted now in our society, and it is part now
of our K to 12 Curriculum.

2. Who are the clients?

- Special education is designed for those students who are mentally, physically, socially
and or emotionally delayed, and those students who are gifted and talented.

VI. SESSION 6: DIVERSITY OF LEARNERS – ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM
(ALS)

Pre-Test
Directions: TRUE or FALSE. Write T if the statement is correct and if it is FALSE write
F on the space provided for.

T 1. The Alternative Learning System is a parallel learning system in the

Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction.
T 2. Family Basic Literacy Program (FBLP) focuses on packaging of short-term
educational activity that addresses the special needs and interest of the
street and working children.
F 3. Republic Act 9155 provides for the recognition and promotion of other
forms of education other than formal education.
T 4. The potential learner in ALS goes through a screening process to
determine whatever prior learning that he/she may have through the National
Assessment Test.
F 5. Mobile teachers are “specialized” teachers who live among the people in
remote barangays of the country.
T 6. Basic Literacy Program is a community-based program for nonliterate
outof-school children, youth, and adults to acquire basic reading, writing, and
numeracy skills.

17
 Reflection:
After understanding the nature, salient feature and the legal bases of Alternative
Learning System, on what particular part of what you have read ignites your
enthusiasm to go beyond your limitations as a beginning teacher? Why? Support
your answer.

As stated in Republic Act No. 7277 “An act providing for the
Rehabilitation, Self-Development and Self-Reliance of disabled persons
and their Integration into the Mainstream of Society and for Other
Purposes” and in Batas Pambansa Blg. 232 “the state shall promote the
right of every individual to relevant quality education regardless of sex,
age, creed, socio-economic status, physical and mental conditions, racial
or ethnic origin, political or other affiliation”, the State shall promote and
maintain equality of access to education as well as attainment of the
benefits of education by all its citizens.

ALS gives a chance to all the learners who stop their schooling, and as a beginning
teacher I should understand their situations, problems and have a patience too. Alternative
Learning System is a kind of learning that knows no boundaries. As a beginning teacher, it
is a social bias for formal education and the constitutional mandate for free and mandatory
elementary and secondary education is difficult to implement.

Reflection
1. In your Journal Notebook write a reflection on how you can be responsive to
the needs of our Filipino Muslim learners.

- The Department of Education (DepEd) aims to have an education

system that is inclusive to all learners, without compromising the 21 st
century learning standards. To make this possible, DepEd implements
various programs that focus on the special needs of learners – one of
which is the Madrasah Education Program (MEP), a comprehensive
program for Muslim learners in public schools and private madaris which
provides appropriate and relevant educational opportunities within the
context of their cultures, customs, traditions and interests.

- As a teacher, let us promote equality inside the classroom. Let us

teach our learners that respecting others are important specially to the
beliefs and culture of Muslim learners.

 Reflection
My knowledge about Special Interest Programs under the K to 12 Program has become
more meaningful after my exchange of ideas with my peers because….

1. As a teacher, it is important to consider individual differences

of learners because through this we can cater all the exceptionalities
and giftedness of every learner. We can give the best that fits and
suits on each learner’s specialties so that they can excel on their
chosen field.

2. I realized that I play an important role as a teacher in the

lives of my learners’ by doing the best so that each learners can hone
their specialties. It is important to consider their individual
differences so that they will enjoy and be motivated each lesson.
Through specialized instruction materials made for them.
