Session 1 – The DepEd’s Mandate

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

a. Promote quality education?
In education, 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 strive to identify my strengths and then use them to inspire my students, leading to a
positive outcome for each pupil and a shift in the way my teaching works. 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. To create an
atmosphere where each individual feels accepted and valued. To create a classroom wherein there is no
bias and there is 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 to my school community is to be a learning environment that are

deeply united have an array of benefits for students, teachers, parents, and the wider school. A
community that has a strong leadership to help the school in providing quality education to all
learners.

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.

Teacher Johanna should think first of the subjects where she can integrate and achieve her lesson
objective, say for example she integrates it in AP and ESP then she can use it as a group task or
individual task to her pupils wherein they demonstrate practicing act of kindness.

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.
The first step Teacher Andrew should do is to talk to the pupil and explain to him the benefit of
joining the Scouting. 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 preparing a lesson plan a head of time. She should 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 students with different religious beliefs should not
force to participate to any religious activity that is not allowed on their religion. 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?

To teach the DEpEd core values to Grade 2 pupils, Teacher Molina can use it as an activity wherein
she can assign her class per group to act as one of the national heroes and portray the good values that
they have, through this pupil can internalized the good values in real life situations.

Required Task 3: Reflection
After going through this module, (DepEd Mandate, Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Strategic
Directions), answer the following questions. Write your responses in 3-5 sentences.

1. In what ways has this module helped you reflect on the Vision, Mission, Core Values, and
Strategic Directions of the Department of Education?

Through this module I now understand that term “teacher” is a very broad definition. That
his/her role does not end in the four walls of the classroom. Teacher is one of the important
people who mold and shape the minds of the pupils. Because of this module, I realized that I
cannot provide the quality education to my pupils if I did not seek to continue my professional
development.

2. How has this module helped you clarify your vision and motivations in serving your learners better
and in promoting a learner-centered environment for them?
This module serves as my wake-up call to continue my dream to change the lives of my
pupils as my top priority despite of the challenges I encountered as a new teacher. This serves
as my guide to be a competent teacher and provide learner centered environment that focus on
the welfare of my pupils

3. What are your personal beliefs and values that are aligned with the DepEd’s VMV (Vision,
Mission, Core Values)?

My personal beliefs that are aligned with the DepEd Vision, Mission and Core Values is that “We
should not judge a book by it’s cover”, because I realized that as a teacher, I should not judge my
pupils by just looking at them or by their mistakes they created because, the intelligence of a child
is not measured by it. I should give equal opportunities to all my pupils when it comes to learning
regardless of their attitudes or behaviors. And as a teacher, it is my duty to change the lives of my
pupils one at a time.

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

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 honestly tell her that I also have classes that I needed to attend. 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.

Session 5 – Handling Advisory Classes

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. What is the role of a teacher to his/her learners?
Teachers plays a significant role in the life of his/her learners. As a teacher, it is their responsibility
to bring out the best in their students and inspire them to achieve greatness. Students are thought to
be the nation's future, and teachers are thought to be a reliable guide for their progress. 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.
