Teachers
SESSION 1: SALARY AND ALLOWANCES OF TEACHERS

Required Task 1: Learning Assessment

Respond to the situation-based questions below. Write down your answer/s on the space provided and
discuss it with your mentor.

Scenario 1:
Teacher Belgira is a newly hired teacher at St. Francis National High School. According to the
principal, he will receive his first monthly salary soon. Aside from his monthly salary, what
other monetary compensation is he entitled to as a teacher in a public school?

Answer:
As a newly hired teacher at St. Francis National High School, Teacher Belgira is entitled to several
monetary compensations beyond his monthly salary. In a public school, teachers typically receive
additional benefits such as a 13th-month pay, which is a bonus equivalent to one month's salary
provided usually at the end of the year. Additionally, there are allowances that teachers can receive,
including a transportation allowance and a clothing allowance. These allowances can vary
depending on the specific policies of the school or the region, so Teacher Belgira should check with
the school's administration to understand the exact amount and eligibility criteria for these
allowances. Moreover, teachers in public schools often have access to government-sponsored health
and retirement benefits, which are important long-term monetary benefits that provide security and
financial stability.

Scenario 2:
Teacher Annie, a newly hired teacher, was assigned as a multi-grade Teacher at Sitio Pag-asa
Elementary School. What monetary compensation is she entitled to as a teacher in a public
school?

Answer:
Teacher Annie, as a newly assigned multi-grade teacher at Sitio Pag-asa Elementary School, is also
entitled to various monetary compensations as a public school teacher. Like Teacher Belgira, she can
expect to receive her monthly salary as well as the 13th-month pay, which is a bonus equivalent to
one month's salary typically given at the end of the year. Additionally, teachers in public schools may
receive allowances such as transportation and clothing allowances, although the specific amounts
and eligibility criteria can vary depending on the region and school policies. It's important for
Teacher Annie to inquire with the school's administration to get precise details about these
allowances. Furthermore, as a public school teacher, she can access government-sponsored health
and retirement benefits, which are valuable monetary benefits for her long-term financial well-being.
These benefits ensure that she and her family have access to healthcare and financial security
throughout her teaching career and retirement.
SESSION 2: INCENTIVES AND BENEFITS OF TEACHERS

Required Task 1: Check your Understanding

Respond to the scenarios below. Write down your answer/s on the space provided and discuss it with
your mentor.

answer. on June 5, 2020, and therefore worked for more
than four months within 2020.
However, both Teacher De Guzman, who started
on August 7, 2020, and Teacher Camat, who
started on October 8, 2020, did not meet the
minimum requirement of four months of service
within the calendar year and are not eligible for
the 2020 Year-End Bonus.
Scenario 2. Teacher Elegado is a teacher in San The Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) amount for
Antonio Senior High School. Based on the Teacher Elegado, whose school ranked as a
assessment, her school ranked as “Better Delivery "Better Delivery Unit," would depend on various
Unit.” How much Performance-Based Bonus factors, including the specific PBB guidelines and
(PBB) will she receive? (please refer to National performance metrics set by the Department of
Budget Circular No. 579 dated January 24, 2020 Education (DepEd) and the Department of
Annex “A”) Budget and Management (DBM) for that year.
The exact PBB amount can vary from year to
year, and it is calculated based on the
performance of the school and the available
budget. Teacher Elegado should refer to the
National Budget Circular No. 579 dated January
24, 2020, Annex "A," for the specific PBB rates
applicable for her category of school and
performance level.
Scenario 3: Teacher Corpuz, a public school If I were the principal explaining the situation to
teacher, heard that his co teacher Teacher Alferez Teacher Corpuz, I would clarify that the Loyalty
just received PhP 10,000.00 Loyalty Pay. He is Pay is typically granted to teachers who have
expecting the same; but according to the served for a certain number of years continuously
principal, he is not qualified. If you were the in the government service, usually without a
principal, how would you explain it to Teacher break in service. The specific requirements and
Corpuz? eligibility criteria for Loyalty Pay may vary
depending on the policies of the Department of
Education or the local government education
authority. If Teacher Corpuz is not qualified for
Loyalty Pay, I would inform him of the specific
reasons for his ineligibility, such as any gaps in
his service or other factors that may not meet the
established criteria.

Scenario 4: Teacher Tagayon is a newly hired Teacher Tagayon, who started her service on
teacher in Timbao Elementary School. Her first November 12, 2019, is typically not entitled to
day of service was November 12, 2019. Is she receive Cash Allowance for the school year
entitled to receive Cash Allowance for the 2020. Cash Allowance, also known as the
school year 2020? Explain your answer. School Supplies Allowance, is usually granted
to public school teachers who have rendered
service for the entire school year preceding the
release of the allowance. Since Teacher
Tagayon's service began in November 2019, she
has not completed the full school year of 2020,
and therefore, she would not meet the eligibility
criteria for the Cash Allowance for that specific
school year.

SESSION 3: LEAVE OF ABSENCE OF TEACHERS

Required Task 1: Check your Understanding

Respond to the scenario below. Write down your answers on the space provided below and discuss
them with your mentor. Limit your responses to 100 words per scenario.

Scenario 1: Teacher Lani, a Senior High School Teacher, gave birth to her fifth child. Can she avail
of maternity leave? If yes, how long? Will she still receive a salary even if she is on leave for a
reason already mentioned? Explain your answer.

Answer:
Teacher Lani, as a Senior High School Teacher, can avail of maternity leave in the Philippines.
Under the law, a female employee is entitled to 105 days of maternity leave if she has given birth to
her fifth child, regardless of the mode of delivery. During her maternity leave, she is entitled to
receive her full salary, which includes her basic salary and any other additional benefits or
allowances she typically receives. The employer is mandated to pay for these benefits, and she
should not suffer any loss of income while on maternity leave.

Scenario 2: One of the teachers in Dela Paz Elementary School was suffering from domestic
violence. Allegedly, her husband was having an affair with other women, resulting in the withdrawal
of financial support for their three (3) children. The teacher wants to take some time off to file a case
against her husband, but she is worried that she has already incurred too many absences, leaving her
with no more service credits. What will you advise the teacher?

Answer:
In the case of the teacher at Dela Paz Elementary School who is suffering from domestic violence,
she may be entitled to special leave benefits and protection under the Anti-Violence Against Women
and Their Children Act of 2004 (RA 9262) in the Philippines. This act provides protection and
support to victims of domestic violence, including legal remedies and special leave privileges. I
would advise the teacher to consult with her school's human resources department and seek legal
counsel, if necessary, to explore her rights under the law and determine the availability of special
leave to address her situation. Accumulated absences should not be a barrier when dealing with such
critical personal issues.

Scenario 3: Teacher Anthony is a Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) teacher in Sto. Tomas

Senior High School. During his demonstration teaching, an accident happened due to a short circuit.
He was rushed to the hospital. The doctor advised him to leave work for 2 weeks. What benefits is
he entitled to?

Answer:
 Teacher Anthony, a Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) teacher in Sto. Tomas Senior
High School, is entitled to certain benefits following his accident during a demonstration
teaching.
Typically, he may be eligible for:

1. Medical Leave: While recovering from the accident, Teacher Anthony can avail of medical
leave as recommended by the doctor. The duration of the leave would depend on the doctor's advice
and the policies of the school or the Department of Education.

2. Sickness Benefits: Depending on his employment contract and the relevant government
policies, he may be entitled to sickness benefits or health insurance coverage, which can help
cover medical expenses.

3. Salary Continuation: Some employers offer salary continuation for a certain period during
an employee's sick leave, ensuring that Teacher Anthony continues to receive his salary while he's
recovering.

It's important for Teacher Anthony to check with the school's administration and
human resources department to understand the specific benefits and support available to him
during his medical leave.

Required Task 2:
Match the leave benefits of teachers to their approved days of leave of absence. Write the
letter that corresponds to your answer on the line provided for before each item. Some answers can
be used twice.

SESSION 4: OTHER BENEFITS

Required Task: Reflection Question (Portfolio Output)

The Department of Education values the vital role of teachers in nurturing the holistic being of the
learners to become productive citizens of the nation. It ensures teachers just compensation,
incentives, benefits, and rewards for them to live a decent life. As a new member of the DepEd
family, how can you show appreciation to this effort of the government?

As a new member of the Department of Education (DepEd), it's crucial to understand and appreciate
the government's effort to value and support teachers in their mission to nurture the holistic
development of learners. One way to show appreciation for these efforts is by dedicating oneself to
the teaching profession with enthusiasm and commitment. By giving your best in the classroom, you
contribute to the realization of the government's investment in the education system. This effort
includes focusing on the holistic development of students, instilling knowledge, values, and skills that
will help them become productive and responsible citizens.

Furthermore, active engagement in professional development and continuous improvement is another

way to demonstrate your appreciation for the government's support. Participating in training,
workshops, and educational programs provided by DepEd or other relevant institutions enhances
your teaching skills and keeps you updated with the latest educational trends and methodologies.
This not only benefits you as an educator but also positively impacts your students' learning
experience.

Finally, by being an advocate for the teaching profession and education in general, you can show
your appreciation for the government's efforts. Engaging in dialogue, promoting the importance of
quality education, and advocating for fair compensation and working conditions for teachers not
only benefits your fellow educators but also underscores the value of education in nation-building.
By actively participating in educational discussions and initiatives, you contribute to the ongoing
improvements in the education system and ensure that the government's efforts in supporting
teachers are effectively channeled for the betterment of the entire society.

Module 2: Continuing Professional Development

SESSION 1 – REPUBLIC ACT 10912: CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)

ACT OF 2016

Required Task 1: Enumeration Activity

Read RA 10912 and give examples for each type of activity that can be considered as a CPD program.

Activity Example
1. formal learning This includes structured and organized
educational programs. Examples could be
enrolling in graduate courses, attending seminars
or workshops, and participating in
 conferences related to your profession.
2. non-formal learning These are more flexible and often skills-based
programs that may not lead to traditional
academic qualifications. For instance, a workshop
on public speaking, a CPR certification course, or
a foreign language course could be non-formal
learning activities.
3. informal learning Informal learning occurs through daily work
experiences and interactions. Examples could be
learning from colleagues, gaining insights
through regular work tasks, or attending a
mentorship program within your workplace.
4. self-directed learning This type of learning is initiated and managed by
the learner themselves. Reading books or journals
related to your profession, watching educational
videos or webinars, or conducting personal
research projects are examples of self- directed
learning.
5. online learning activities In the digital age, online platforms offer various
CPD opportunities. Taking e-courses, webinars,
or MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on
platforms like Coursera, edX, or LinkedIn
Learning can be considered online learning
activities.
6. professional work experience Engaging in work-related projects, taking on
leadership roles in professional organizations, or
participating in committees relevant to your field
can also count as CPD. For instance, if you are an
architect, managing a construction project or
being part of a design review board would be
considered professional work experience.

Go back to your list of professional associations that interest you. Given the tips, which association
are you most likely to join and why?

Answer:
Of the three professional associations I mentioned earlier, I would be most inclined to join the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). As someone with an interest in mathematics
education and a belief in the importance of fostering strong mathematical skills among students, I
find NCTM's activities and goals particularly appealing. Their commitment to improving math
education and promoting best practices in the field aligns with my educational philosophy. NCTM
provides a wealth of resources and opportunities for professional development, allowing educators to
enhance their teaching of mathematics. The association's focus on a specific subject area that I'm
passionate about and their dedication to advancing mathematics education make it a natural choice
for me to join and actively contribute to their mission.

SESSION 2: FINANCIAL LITERACY

Required Task 1: Activity

MONEY MATTERS:

Read and analyze the given scenarios. Identify the main problem in each financial situation and
the possible effects that it may bring.

1. Teacher Marie has a big family. She has four sons and two daughters. Her husband has no
regular work. Every month, there is an expectation from their children that they will be going to the
mall to spend time dining together. They also buy the things that their children are requesting, even
unnecessary ones. Teacher Marie does not want to disappoint them. So, upon receiving her salary,
she always gives favor to them.

Main Problem: Teacher Marie's financial problem is her inability to manage her
finances effectively. She is consistently overspending on non-essential
items and indulging her children's requests without setting financial
boundaries.

Possible Effects: 1. Financial Strain: Teacher Marie's husband's lack of regular work,
combined with their excessive spending, can lead to financial strain
and difficulty in covering basic expenses such as bills, groceries, and
utilities.
2. Debt Accumulation: Continuously spending beyond their means may
lead to debt accumulation through credit cards or loans, causing further
financial instability.
3. Lack of Savings: The family's habit of overspending leaves little
room for saving money for emergencies, retirement, or long-term
financial
goals.
4. Unhealthy Financial Habits: The children may develop unhealthy
financial habits by expecting indulgent spending and not understanding
the importance of budgeting and financial responsibility.
5. Stress and Tension: The financial stress resulting from their spending
habits may lead to tension and conflict within the family, affecting
their overall well-being.

2. Principal Santos has observed the spending pattern of the newly-hired teachers in their
school. Their lifestyle includes passion for international travels, fashionable clothes, and
latest gadgets. They even invest part of their salaries to an online business that is not
authorized and does not provide sure income. No wonder that they are always hopeful for
paydays.

Main Problem: The main problem in this financial situation is the newly-hired teachers'
unsustainable spending habits, including extravagant international travel,
spending on fashionable clothes and gadgets, and investing in an unauthorized
and uncertain online business. Their lifestyle choices may lead to financial
instability.

Possible Effects: 1. Financial Instability: The teachers' extravagant spending and

investments in an unreliable online business can lead to financial
instability, making it difficult to cover essential expenses and save
for the future.
 2. Debt Accumulation: If the teachers are financing their lifestyle
through loans or credit cards, they may accumulate debt, resulting
in high-interest payments and a cycle of debt.
3. Lack of Savings: Prioritizing immediate gratification over savings can
leave them with little to no savings for emergencies, retirement, or
other financial goals.
4. Stress and Anxiety: Constant financial uncertainty and the reliance
on uncertain income sources may lead to stress and anxiety, affecting
their overall well-being.
5. Risk of Job Loss: If their financial difficulties become known to their
employer, there could be a risk of job loss or disciplinary action.
6. Impact on Professional Development: Excessive spending and
financial troubles might hinder their ability to invest in professional
development, which is crucial for career advancement in the teaching
profession.
