PARENTS, TEACHERS ASSOCIATION (PTA)
Harnessing school support from PTA

The PTA is a vital force in linking the school to its service area, the
community. The PTA is founded on the spirit of volunteerism and serves
as a means by which funds maybe generated and community support to
the school maybe mobilized. If properly organized and directed, the PTA
can be a strong partner in improving the welfare of the pupils.
Ways by which schools/teachers can use to effectively
enlist the support of PTA

COMMUNITY BASED ROLES OF THE TEACHER

Caselet A
1. The parent complained about her sons classification as Slow
Reader student. She believed her son should not undergo
the Intervention Program in Reading because, as she argued,
he has good reading skills. She also said, the program will
give burden to her son.
2. Initially, the teacher was caught by surprise, but she managed
to give an explanation
1.Caselet A
The teacher underwent intensive trainings
about the Reading Program, so I believe she
could enlighten the mother about its
relevance. She could explain to her the
rationale of the intervention
program, citing data on student
achievement and the various DepED
issuances on the Reading Program
COMMUNITY BASED ROLES OF THE TEACHER

Caselet B
1. The Barangay Chairman liked to hold an anti-drug
campaign but he was not quite knowledgeable
about the topic. He didnt even know how to start the
project.
2. The chairman decided to seek the help of a teacher.
2. Caselet B
The teacher will surely assist the
Barangay Chairman in his
project. She will give the needed
resources and information about
illegal drugs, as well as
the steps in the project
implementation
COMMUNITY BASED ROLES OF THE TEACHER

Caselet C
1. The problem is about a high school student who
was sexually abused by her own father.
2. The teacher noticed her students unusual
behavior. She talked to the girl and was able to
convince her to confide her problem.
3. The teacher couldnt believe what she discovered.
She was really shocked with her students
revelation.
3. Caselet C
The teacher will explain to her
student that the act is a heinous
crime, punishable by death. She
will guide/assist the student to
file her case in the court
of law and help her seek
help from the DSWD.
COMMUNITY BASED ROLES OF THE TEACHER

Caselet D
1. Fraternity activities are prohibited within the school
campus. It saddened the teacher to find out that his
own students were violating the prohibition.
2. The teacher was informed by one of his students that an
initiation rite was being held within the school campus.
3. After learning about the prohibited activity, the teacher
immediately went to the place where it was
conducted.
4. Caselet D
The teacher will stop the initiation
rite and bring the students to the
office of the principal. He will
inform their parents about the
violation committed by
their children as well as the
corresponding sanction that will
be imposed on them.
End of Activity
Blessed are the partnership-builders,
