Resolve the issue.

Is teaching more of a vocation or more of a profession?

Teaching is more than a noble profession. It is a vocation, a calling. It

does not only revolve around teaching a subject matter, but teaching a student. It is
putting in mind and heart that teachers are not just after the grades of the students,
but they are into their betterment. It is more of being catalysts of change-
transforming and touching the lives of each and every learner that one may
encounter.

Teaching is more of a vocation for it is a lifelong commitment of

fulfilling one’s duties without asking something in return. It is the burning passion
within the teachers coming from their desire to lead the learners in their path. It is
not only about doing what is required of them, but always beyond what their duties
and responsibilities are. It is also a vocation for it takes a heart work, more than
just hard work. It is doing everything for the students with all your heart and mind.
It’s baring out your soul for the students’ betterment.

Thus, it is not just about coming to work and such. It is being one with
your work and your learners. It is doing everything that you can to fulfill your
promise as a teacher. It’s making your profession your passion.

teaching, we had the interview, the English proficiency test, the other skills test. After
all these, we’ve waited for the Registry of Qualified Applicants (RQA). Then once
included, we waited for the appointment.

2. Illustrate the things and objects symbolic of the process of recruitment,

Activity 2. Answer the following questions by putting a check mark inside the
circle if you Agree or Disagree to the following statements and then justify your
answer on the space provided.

2. As teachers are professionals and hired as the right people to the right
position, it follows that in exercising professionalism in teaching, they need
to know the standards that they need to teach, and the need to know on how
to teach in the most effective ways.

Agree. To be able to provide the students will quality education which is

the mandate of the institution, a teacher must know first the standards and after
enrich himself/herself further on the pedagogy.

2. Being well-compensated in monetary and other benefits in teaching, it is a

must for teachers to render exemplary performance.

Agree. Since we are well-compensated, we must always give our best,

especially that it is for the future of our country.
3. If the teachers teach well in their 6 hours of actual teaching loads and care
more about their students, the result would bring a favorable impact to students
to do well and to do better in their studies.

Agree. This will inspire the students. More children loves to go to school

actual teaching.

Agree. This applies to all employees even in the private sector.

married teachers work in the same school.

10.During disciplinary procedures, teachers are not entitled to due process and
must not be given a written notice, a time to access evidence, to make a defense,
a time for preparation and appeal.

Disagree. This will violate their basic rights as a Filipino.

Activity 3. Direction: Challenge yourself by justifying your answer to uphold the
integrity and professional duties of a teacher.

1. Any teacher engaged in actual classroom instruction shall not be required to

render more than 6 hours of actual classroom teaching per day with all the
classroom teaching preparation, checking of given exercises and other related
work to their normal teaching duties. Provided however, that where the
exigencies of the service so require, any teacher may be required to render more
than 6 hours but not exceeding 8 hours of actual teaching hours a day. How does
this affect your integrity and professional duties as a teacher?

A teacher’s job is very demanding and stressful. That is why, they should be
required to further stay in the school beyond 8 hrs. They too need time to rest to be able to
deliver the lessons effectively.

2. There shall be no discrimination whatsoever in the entrance to the teaching

profession, and/or during in exercising its duties or even in the termination of
tenure in service. Does this affect your integrity and professional duties as a

of whether in private or public sector.

3. As a teacher you submitted yourself in the evaluation and hiring process of your
Schools Division by following what was stipulated in DO 7, s. 2015. In the RQA, you
were ranked number 1. It so happened the appointing authority selected and
appointed the teacher next in rank to you. Did the appointing authority violate your
c
rights as a teacher? Does this affect your integrity and professional duties as a
teacher?

Yes, because that is the sole purpose why there is ranking. It is called
ranking because the applicants are being arranged from the ones most deserving ti’l the
ones who least reached the criteria. And so this must be followed strictly. If not, this
defeats the very purpose why there exits such thing as RQA.

4. DepEd provides the curricula to be implemented and teachers are encouraged to

be innovative in their teaching and classroom methods. The department supports
the academic freedom of the teacher in the discharge of their professional duties,
particularly with regard to teaching and classroom management. Does this affect
your integrity and professional duties?

Yes. Being the classroom manager, a teacher must be given the freedom
especially that students are different form sections to sections. This means that one class
may have a different need than the others. It is the call of the teacher to adjust to such
situations.

5. Salary scales of teachers shall provide for a gradual progression from a minimum
to a maximum salary by means of regular increments, granted automatically after 3
years to the maximum steps, as provided by law. Provided, that the efficiency rating
of the teacher concerned is at least Satisfactory. How true is this? Does this affect
your integrity and professional duties as a teacher?

This does not affect one’s integrity.

 In the Department of Education, we are saddened to hear news of
malpractices of teachers in the profession. Let us uplift ourselves and our
profession. Write your commitment to complete the paragraph below. As member of
the DepEd learning community, I commit myself to help realize the DepEd mission
and vision. I promise to always adhere to the Code of Ethics for Public School
Teachers in performing all my functions as teacher in the public school. Whatever I
will be doing, I will make sure that it is within my bounds as a teacher as stipulated in
c
the Magna Carta for Public School teachers. Before anything else, I will always keep
in mind that it is the student’s welfare that is my main concern as a teacher. I must
not do anything that will taint this noble profession.

MY PLEDGE OF COMMITMENT

I RASSEL D. DULOS, Teacher I of Gumalang Elementary School

commit myself to adhere to the Code of Ethics, which will serve as my
guide in everything I do in the service of my profession. It is my goal to
establish maximum services to my clientele, being a public servant. I
vow to utilize government resources effectively and efficiently for the
betterment of everyone.
______________________________________
NAME AND SIGNATURE OF TEACHER
Study the following situations. Choose the best option by putting a check on the
space provided for each choice. Explain your answer.

Situation no. 1
Being a person known for his integrity and credibility, Mr. Elbert R. Tolentino has been
serving as part of the Board of Election Canvassers for the past 10 years. However, in
the coming elections, his mother will be running as barangay captain. Because of this,
he is asked to campaign for her. Is it alright for him to campaign for his mother’s
candidacy? Explain your answer.

No, because a teacher always has to be neutral.

Situation no. 2
Mr. Mario Ocampo, who has been teaching for the last 25 years, refused to attend an
important conference in Mindanao. Every time he is asked by the principal to attend such
an activity, he always requests a new teacher to attend. As a professional teacher, is it
right to express refusal in attending conferences?

I believe, it depends on the type of conference. It is for your own

development then attend.

Situation no. 3
Ms. Rose Q. Reyes posted two-piece swimwear c picture of herself in her Facebook page.
She received negative comments from the community and stakeholders. Ms. Reyes
justified that she has the right to post anything on her Facebook account since it was her
personal account. Is it right for Mrs. Reyes to do such?

Yes, because like any other individuals, she also has her right to freedom
of expression. Besides, it does not violate any law.

Situation no. 4
During barangay fiesta, Mr. Ben Y. Maya was designated as the fiesta directorate
chairman. Because of his talent, he accepted the task willingly even without any
honorarium. He facilitated culture-based activities that made their barangay fiesta a
significant one. Is it alright for Mr. Maya not to receive any compensation for his services
rendered since this will be a precedent for the succeeding activity coordinator?

No, because it is not within the bounds of his duties as a teacher.

Situation no. 5
Mrs. Dae P. Habalo, of Sibulan National High School refused to admit a student for not
being a resident of the said barangay where the school is located. Is it right for her to do
so?

No, there should be no discrimination

Situation no. 6
Traditionally, a civic parade is held with school participating during Independence Day. All
teachers and students are required to attend. All of Mrs. Katherine Y. Sedillo’s students
are excited to join the said parade but she did not join them due to personal reason and
only asked the president of the class to check the attendants of his classmates. Is the
decision of Mrs. Sedillo not answerable for any untoward incident to happen to the
students?

Yes, it is her duty to be there.

Situation no. 7
Madam Estelita Ramos, a teacher III at Malunta Elementary School has a take-home pay
of P 7,500.00 every month. She decided to borrow money from Provincial Savings Bank
with a monthly deduction of P3,500. In the same month she also borrowed money to First
Diamond Lending Company with a monthly deduction of P 3,500.00. In the first 2 months
she enjoyed a take home pay of P7,500.00 because the 2 lending institutions will deduct
on the 3rd month from the date she borrowed. Is it alright for Mrs. Ramos to borrow the
amount considering that she don’t have enough take home pay when the deduction will
take effect?

No, she will not maintain her good reputation in doing so.

Situation no. 8
Mr. Ricky dela Cruz is one of the youngest teacher in Silab Community High School. Due
to his young age he has lots of friends and barkadas. After school hours, he is always
c
seen with his friends in an internet café playing Dota, in gambling dens, and in
beerhouses. He also frequently seen in discos during weekends. Is Mr. Cruz acting as a
good model to his students?

No, this does not give him good reputation.

1. Teachers employed by the government are provided incentives to develop
and hone their potentials, and values for better public service.

This is a big help for teachers to grow professionally and update

themselves on the latest trends in the profession.

2. Induction programs are activities to update newly-hired teachers about the

government thrusts, operations, duties, responsibilities, benefits, and
privileges.

This prepares them for the work that they need to do.

3. A scholarship program service contract will oblige you to render return

service for the privilege you earned before you can apply for another
scholarship.

This is just so as to give chance to other teachers too.

“I AM VALUED AND REWARDED”

Write insights gained and perceived on teacher’s entitlements benefits,

rewards, and recognition.

Since teachers are well-compensated it must move teachers to always work hard
and give their best in doing their work. Compared with other countries, our
compensation may be smaller but I must say is still enough for everyday life
especially if you are single. Hopefully, with all this, teachers stay inspired to do their
jobs and impact their students positively.
