Summary
• The Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies, plans,
programs, and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education. It supervises all
elementary and secondary education institutions, including alternative learning systems, both
public and private; and provides for the establishment and maintenance of a complete, adequate,
and integrated system of basic education relevant to the goals of national development.
• Based on DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2013, in order to promote “One DepEd”, the official DepEd VMV
shall be the only Vision, Mission, and Core Values adopted by all offices and schools. As part of
the Department of Education, teachers are enculturated into the DepEd professional community
in order to align professional practice to the common vision and mission of the department.
• Republic Act No. 8491 states that our national Motto shall be “Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao,
Makakalikasan, at Makabansa.”
• As an agency, DepEd has a set of plans and actions to reach its vision. These strategic directions
are time-bound and are measured through strategic objectives.
• It is important for newly hired teachers to be familiar with and understand the DepEd’s mandate,
vision, mission, core values, and strategic directions so that they could align their practices and
professional goals with the department. This will help them better support DepEd’s endeavors
towards quality education. These could be demonstrated in how teachers present themselves,
how they respond to challenges in everyday teaching, and how they serve as role models to their
learners, inspiring them to be life-long learners and productive citizens.
• Four career stages are articulated in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST).
Each stage is constituted by particular professional practice that defines and locates teacher
quality within a developmental continuum.

Session 2: The School Support
System
Key Topic 1:
Schools and Learning Centers (LCs) serve as frontline services
of the department. These are accountable for education and
learner outcomes. Consistent with the national educational
policies, plans, and standards, the school or learning center
has the following functions:
• take accountability in achieving higher learning

outcomes;
• implement the curriculum and be accountable for

higher learning outcomes;
• provide equitable opportunities for all learners in the

community;
• develop an education program and school

improvement plan;
• create an environment conducive to teaching and

learning;
• lead and manage itself and its resources; and
• establish and manage linkages with stakeholders.
There shall be a school head for all schools and LCs. The
school head, who may be assisted by an assistant school
head, shall be both an instructional leader and administrative
manager. The school head shall form a team with the
school teachers/learning facilitators for delivery of quality
educational programs, projects, and services. A core of non-
teaching staff shall handle the school’s administrative, fiscal,
and auxiliary services.

in your classroom are recorded in an inventory of physical DepEd system
equipment in the classroom, and it is usually submitted
during the beginning of the school year. Make sure that you
consider up to the smallest fixture in your classroom.
When you arrange the chairs in your classroom, consider

the different types that you learned in college such as
traditional rows, rows of desks facing each other, horseshoe
arrangement, clustered seating arrangement, fishbowl
design, and so on. Your seating arrangement may probably
be adopted by other subject teachers. Make sure that this
arrangement is efficient and flexible. Probably, you may
consider a more stable arraignment to aid you in familiarizing
your new learners. Above all, free your classroom from
hazards that may disrupt learning or may cause harm to your
learners.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced everyone to adjust

to the new measures of the “new normal” to ensure that
everyone stays safe. Physical classrooms have applied
the social distancing rule to the setup of the chairs in the
classroom and have also opted to schedule frequent
classroom disinfections. Some classrooms have moved
online to platforms such as Zoom or Google Meet.

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’srole is to monitor learner’
sperformances, assessments, achievements, and learners’
development. With all that informationthe teacher will findeasier 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

The list could be longer. There will be time that you may
feel discouraged and frustrated. Keep on exerting effort to
reach out to these kinds of learners. However, remember
you may not be able to help almost everyone in your class.
It is said that all teachers are guidance counselors. You

are placed there to help learners in resolving their personal
issues that affect their academic life. Since you are the
teacher who has the closest contact to your learners, you
are in a position to know very well the concerns that linger
among your learners. All in all, you have to be able to show
that you “care” about them.
Summary
• The class adviser is tasked to do important assignments
such as connecting with learners and counseling,
keeping school records and monitoring attendance,
doing homeroom activities, promoting harmonious
relationships and resolving conflicts, capturing and
maintaining learners’ interest, and communicating
with parents. You should be the adviser who “cares”.
• Advisers are the assigned person to keep and manage

the school records of the learners that are assigned to
you. It is also a task of the adviser to monitor the daily
attendance of learners.

expectations for your learners and yourself.
To be an effective teacher , the teacher

should set high behavioral expectations to
his learners and himself. This doesn’t mean
that you are being strict but a way of
believing that the students should always
strive to achieve their best. Some example
of these are :
1.Teach about growth mindset.
2.Focus on effort not excellent
3.Express unconditional positive regards
4.Set achievable but difficult task

Summary
Discipline shapes learners’ behavior and helps them to learn
self-control when it provides encouragement, not painful,
meaningless consequences (UNESCO 2015, 21). You should
use classroom discipline positively by believing in your
learners’ abilities and communicating affection and respect
for them. When you are willing to observe your learners and
respond in ways that encourage positive behavior, you help
them become responsible for their own behaviors and they
reduce the likelihood of misbehaving in the classroom.
An effectively managed classroom is the one that motivates

learners while creating and supporting positive behaviors. In
order to do this, you need to make sure that:
a. Your expectations are clear.
b. Instruction is interesting for your learners.
c. Your learners see a purpose and value to what is

being taught.
d. Instruction relates concepts and skills to a learner’s

experience and is meaningful within his or her daily
life.
e. Your teaching strategies are varied. Learners can

become bored, even if the topic is interesting, if you
constantly use the same teaching methods.

You have listed down the rules you set in class as an adviser and a subject-teacher and the rules set by a colleague. Take
note that these rules should be agreed upon with the learners to promote trust and fairness. Hence, classroom rules set the
standards of behavior for our learners, but we, as teachers, must also have standards. After all, we are important role models
for our learners.

Required Task 5: Agree or Disagree
Read each statement and identify if you agree or disagree with it. Share your thoughts on the next column.
Statements Answer
1. We should tell our learners how we expect everyone to

behave in class (our learners and ourselves) and discuss AGREE
these expectations regularly.
2. We must inform our school’s administrators, other

teachers, and parents about our classroom rules, so
they can help to monitor them and to avoid conflicting AGREE
expectations.
3. The rules we develop with our learners must be applied

consistently with no favoritism.
AGREE
4. We must constantly be aware of what is going on in and

outside of our classrooms, and our monitoring must be
AGREE
subtle and preventative.
5. We cannot get angry or lose self-control, but be role

models for good behavior, and follow the rules. AGREE
6. When discipline is necessary, it focuses on the learner’s

behavior, not the learner. The learner’s dignity is AGREE
maintained.
7. We need to encourage learners to monitor their own

behavior, such as by keeping diaries. They also need to AGREE
monitor each other’s behavior with respect.
8. In teaching, we should not use ambiguous or vague

terms. Activities should be sequenced clearly and with AGREE
as few interruptions as possible.

Summary
• Building a good relationship with your learners will help
you ensure positive student behavior and discipline.
Thus, an effective educator who foster positive
relationships with their learners creates classroom
environments more conducive to learning and meet
learners’ developmental, emotional and academic
needs.
• In order to maintain trust and fairness in the classroom,

teachers should always bear in mind the characteristics
that learners appreciate. These characteristics should
form a core part of monitoring our own behaviors:
fairness, humor, respect, courtesy, openness, and
active listening. Modeling these characteristics to
learners. also positively reinforces good learner-to-
learner relationships.
