Read the situation below and answer the questions that follow
Mrs. Santos is a newly hired teacher assigned in a school 15 kilometers away from
the Población. Upon reaching the school she found out there is nothing left in the room
where she will handle the Grade 12 class. The room is bare with only 35 tablet chairs for
the learners fill in the room. There is no bulletin board, teacher’s table and chair, and
even comfort room. How down-hearted she felt seeing the situation in her class. Her
school head told her that since her class is newly organized, she must deal with the
situation and that challenged her to do something about it because the school MOOE is
meager and is only enough to pay for electric and water bill and other priority needs of
the school. It would take a year before a budget could be allotted for the improvement of
her classroom. The school even told her to “make some miracles” to improve the physical
condition of her class.
Mrs. Santos contemplated on it. For quite sometimes she reflected on her school
head’s words. She approached one of her colleagues whose classroom is well-structured
and fully equipped with the necessary materials for teaching-learning activities.
She then started organizing her homeroom PTA and showed them the situation
in their classroom. She also talked to her friends and some relatives abroad. And in just
2 months she was able to make miracles!

follow
Sta. Isabel Integrated School is one of the farthest schools in a certain town. It offers Kindergarten, Elementary,
Junior and Senior High School . Mr. Santos, the school principal and his teachers have been stormed with a lot of
challenges concerning the needs of the school. One of his most pressing problems is the unavailability of materials,
facilities and equipment for the learners. There are no rooms for laboratory work and the school has no budget for the
procurement of the materials and
building laboratory rooms.
Mr. Santos met his teachers and made initial plans. They scanned the community and found out that there are
establishments within the community where their learners could apply their skills. She scheduled a dialogue with the
barangay officials, parents and
the owners of the different establishments and together they made a plan. To prepare their learners and provide them
lifelong learning, the school heads, teachers, parents, barangay officials and local business people made a program in
which the learners will enhance their skills in the different areas. During weekend, the learners were allowed to practice
in the machine shop and bakery located within the barangay. The learners were also given an allowance by the store
owners for their services. Students who enrolled in the agriculture strand works in the agricultural store and study the
different varieties of seeds, feeds, process of planting and other activities related to agriculture. They also get part time
job during planting and harvest season. The learners are also
compensated.
In this way both the school and community were benefitted. The school prepares its curriculum in a way that it
responds to the needs of the community. The community, on the other hand; provides laboratory for learning for learners.

C.PARENTS AS TEACHERS’ PARTNERS IN THE STUDENTS’
LEARNING AND AS STAKEHOLDER OF THE SCHOOL
Objectives
a. Explain the roles of teachers as he/she seeks advice to the person in
authority in building good relationships with parents/ guardians and the
wider community.
b. Identify and apply strategies that the school can use to build good
relationships with parents/ guardians and the wider community.
c. Strengthen and sustain the involvement of parents/guardians and the
wider community in the educative process.
C. PARENTS AS TEACHERS’ PARTNERS IN THE
STUDENTS’ LEARNING AND AS STAKEHOLDER OF THE
SCHOOL
1. Positive parent-school communications benefit parents. The manner in which
schools communicate and interact with parents affects the extent and quality of
parents' home involvement with their children's learning. For example, schools
that communicate not so good news about students’ performances more often
than recognizing students' excellence will discourage parents’ involvement by
making them feel they cannot effectively help their children .
C. PARENTS AS TEACHERS’ PARTNERS IN THE
STUDENTS’ LEARNING AND AS STAKEHOLDER OF THE
SCHOOL
2. Parents also benefit from being involved in their children's education by
getting ideas from school on how to help and support their children, and by
learning more about the school's academic program and how it works. Most
importantly perhaps, parents benefit by becoming more confident about the
value of their school involvement. Parents develop a greater appreciation for the
important role they play in their children's education.
C. PARENTS AS TEACHERS’ PARTNERS IN THE
STUDENTS’ LEARNING AND AS STAKEHOLDER OF THE
SCHOOL
3. Substantial evidence exists showing that parent’s involvement
benefits students, including raising their academic achievement. There
are other advantages for children when parents become involved —
namely: increased motivation for learning, improved behavior, more
regular attendance, and a more positive attitude about homework and
school in general
C. PARENTS AS TEACHERS’ PARTNERS IN THE
STUDENTS’ LEARNING AND AS STAKEHOLDER OF THE
SCHOOL
4. Parental involvement can free teachers to focus more on the task of
teaching children. Also, by having more contact with parents, teachers
learn more about students' needs and home environment, which is
information they can apply toward better meeting those needs. Parents
who are involved tend to have a more positive view of teachers, which
results in improved teacher morale.

Regular fora may be conducted with local government
units, civic organizations, and other stakeholders to foster
