(Note: Be safe and have fun 😊) MY REFLECTIONS “The Eskaya Tribe is officially classified as an Indigenous Cultural Community under the Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 1997 (Republic Act No. 8371). Through DepEd Order 62, s. 2011 or the National Indigenous Peoples Education Policy Framework which was formulated after several consultation sessions with IP leaders and elders the Department officially commenced the institutionalization of the IP Education Program. The policy adopts a rightsbased approach and directs the implementation of an education that is anchored on the social and cultural context of IP learners. Eskaya Tribe is entitled to a well-rounded education. An Education that reflects their shared values, feelings, principles, and general ideas. Education that not only common students can access but also to the IP students like the Eskayan. In the given situation, I believe that I as a teacher was prepared to consider the Eskayan student. Moreover, I am a learner-centered teacher, and I gave differentiated instructions in assessing my learners in which the learners had choices to choose from in the assessment I gave. I believe that in this assessment there was equality for all my students, and I have been sensitive to the students I handled. In this scenario, we are taught to be compassionate and caring, to reflect on our ideas about people from other cultures, to reflect on our own cultural frames of reference, and to be knowledgeable about other cultures of our students. As a teacher, we must be aware of our students' backgrounds, whether they are from common or IP’s student, so that we can meet their needs and ensure that they all have access to the quality of education we provide. We should recognize the importance of including students' cultural references in all aspects of learning.
