In what concrete ways has this session helped you become a more agentive teacher in promoting “learner-centered” teaching? This session help me to become more agentive teacher in promoting learner-centered teaching in ways that I must be sensitive enough to the needs and interests of the learners and cater their individual potentials through varied instructional learning styles. 2. How has this session helped you clarify your vision and motive in serving your learners better and in promoting a learner-centered environment for them? It helps me to reflect again on what is my main task as a leader in order to mold my students into betterment. 3. What is the impact of the Department Mandate, VMV and Strategic Directions in your vocation as a teacher? How can your understanding of DepEd’s Mandate and VMV provide impact to your work as a teacher? The Department Mandate had impacted me so much because it clearly states what are the rules that I must obey and observed. In the Strategic Directions also, a teacher must be enthusiastic, to think critically on the solutions because he/she provides quality education. 4. What are your personal beliefs and values that are aligned with the DepEd’s VMV? I believe that every child has a right and ways to learn and acquire new things, by that, teacher must be learner-centered for the child to achieve and obtain his/her highest potentials and talents. Because I also believe that the end-point of all the mandate and DepEd’s VMV, is for the childs’ betterment. 5. How can you contribute to improve quality and relevance in education? I can contribute in so many ways, I can make myself equipped with additional knowledge through attending graduate studies, not just for my own credit but most especially, I must reenroll again for me to become more effective teacher to them, my students. II. SESSION 2: DEPED ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND SCHOOL PROCESSES Reflection Questions: Journal Writing. Share your thoughts on the following: 1. What is the importance of knowing the DepEd organization structure and school processes in the performance of your duties as a teacher? It is clearly important because without knowing the DepEd organization structure, a teacher would become a free-floating yatch in the wide ocean, nowhere to run, nobody to ask. 2. Why should a teacher know who to approach in addressing concerns related to his or her duties? A teacher must know who to approach in order for the teacher to have a proper implementation of what he/she is planning for the betterment of the learners and of the school. III. SESSION 3 TEACHING AS A PROFESSION AND AS A VOCATION Reflection Questions: As a newly hired teacher, I am already manifesting the following qualities like a more compassionate heart, a good influencer to other people especially to the young ones, a well-balanced time for the accomplishment of tasks on time, to put myself in right and sound mind when I am under pressure with my loads and in any extra activities. However, I need to improve my qualities in classroom management because I am more confident in discussing a certain topics when I will improve my classroom management. IV. SESSION 4: PHILIPPINE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS (PPST) As a teacher, what are the indicators under beginning stage that you can do? Is it possible that you can move to the higher career stage? Knowing where you are, what professional development goals could you prepare based on your strength and areas for improvement? I will not focus in the indicators that I find easy but to a difficult one. The indicators that I find difficult to execute are the number 6 “Uses differentiated, developmentally appropriate learning experiences to address learner’s gender, needs, strengths, interests and experiences” and number 3 “ Applies a range of teaching strategies to develop critical and creative thinking, as well as other higher-order thinking skills”. It is possible really that I can move to the higher career stage because I will equip myself with the requirements needed for the next career stage. Based on the results of the self-assessment tool, make a professional development plan. Professional Development Goal Strengths Perseverance to the attainment of my goals.

How will this event affect your pursuit for professional development? OR 2. From your map, choose your top future entry (goal) and clearly describe what steps you could take to help you reach this goal (minimum of three steps). Describe what resources you would need to meet these goals. Why is it important for you to achieve such professional growth? VI. SESSION 6: MAGNA CARTA FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS Reflection: 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 uplift the value of learning to my students, and give them activities that they might use to real life settings. I will not only teach them what are in the books, but most importantly, how can they make abstract into concrete in their lives. Yes, it is a big challenge in my part but, I am in this institution, not just to be called a teacher, but also to serve as an inspiration to the young generations. With this, I commit my life and all that I am, from this day, until the last of my breath. So help me God. VII. SESSION 7: CODE OF ETHICS Reflection: 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. Even the situation changed, a teacher must not indulge her/himself in any political events. 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. It depends on the reason of the teacher, but for me, the Principal knows the strength and weaknesses of the teachers within his/her concern, maybe he/she always requested Mr. Ocampo, because the Principal sees that Mr. Ocampo needs this one for his/her improvement and knowledge. Situation no. 3 Ms. Rose Q. Reyes posted two-piece swimwear 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? Based from the Code of Ethics of a Professional Teacher, a teacher must uphold at all cost, being a model of the community because he/she holds a great influence in the community, especially to the young ones. So for me, it is not right, even if it is your personal account, still, you are an entrusted model of the community, so be it. 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? For me it is solely the decision of Mr. Maya, and the coordinator should tell the arrangement to Mr. Maya beforehand. 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? The decision of Mrs. Habalo is not right, because there is a policy that every school should not say no to any students who wants to enroll in the school weather the student is not a resident in the barangay. 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? The teacher should not neglect his/her obligations at all times, even the situation tells his/her to. In the situation above, it is alright to Mrs. Sedillo to ask other teacher to look upon her students, and that teacher should abide to it honestly, not to the class president strictly. Situation no. 7 Madam Estelita Ramos, a teacher III at Malunta Elementary School has a takehome 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? For me, I am not in favor to the way she manage her money, it will make me sick really . 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 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? Being friends with the students is fine, but too much of it might give you headaches. So for me, as a teacher, we must not forget to draw a line between you and the students, but also see to it to have a good and kind heart to the learners. VIII. SESSION 8: RESULTS-BASED PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RPMS) Reflection: Reflect on the following questions. 1. Recall your experience on how you have accomplished your previous IPCRF and learning activities and assessment. What insights have you learned from them? Before the preparation of my IPCRF, I find it difficult to comply, but as I am in the middle of it, I find it easier because, when you are abiding to be a good teacher, and all a teacher should prepare, from class lists at the beginning of the school year, to the checking of SF1, SF5, Form 137 and Form 138, you can actually find the evidences that the IPCRF dictates. 2. Are there other interventions you need to continuously improve yourself? Cite examples. Yes, the way I organize things to be included in the IPCRF. Next school year, I must see to it that everything is on track and organized. 3. In a form of a journal, write your synthesis of learning gained from this lesson and the points that challenge and inspire you as a newly hired teacher. XI. SESSION 9: SALARIES, WAGES, AND BENEFITS OF TEACHERS Reflection: “I AM VALUED AND REWARDED” Write insights gained and perceived on teacher’s entitlements benefits, rewards, and recognition. The top benefit of teaching is the difference you make in the lives of your students. While there are plenty of challenges, the days where your lesson goes better than planned, a student proclaims you the best teacher of all time, or you witnessed a struggling student have “a-ha moment” after your special demonstration, will leave you feeling like teaching isn’t work-it’s a rewarding passion. Even the most difficult day of teaching will provide you with some positive experiences. You can be confident knowing you have chosen a career that truly helps others. In the words of former first lady, Laura Bush, “ my advice is simple: become a teacher…The challenges of teaching are outnumbered only by the rewards that come from helping children realize their dreams.” It is truly remarkable to become a teacher not just from the salary you get but also, in being a true teacher.

SESSION 5: GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT (GAD) SESSION 1: SELF-AWARENESS, SELF-MASTERY AND TEACHER AGENCY Reflection: Cite significant experience with either your school head, learners, colleagues, parents, community, that reflects your values. Use the STAR format. (Cite reference) S- stands for Situation T – stands for Task A – stands for action R – stands for result/s Situation/Task When I was task to attend the Action I became oriented with the way a Result As a result, I manage to understand its SESSION 2: PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Reflection: In your journal, write concrete ways that would help you become a better teacher. In my opinion, a better teacher should be one who puts her heart into teaching. This is because only by doing so will the students feel their passion and hard work. When a teacher strives hard for the students, students will put in their effort as well. If a teacher would also affect and students would not be able to enjoy lessons as well. Another point that makes a better teacher would be his/her patience. Teachers should not get upset or even worse, give up on the students who are not so strong in their studies. Instead, they should have the patience to slowly coach them, give them extra lessons, and find different ways to encourage them. SESSION 3. FINANCIAL LITERACY Reflection: Portfolio Making o In every plan that you make, you are asked to make a reflection. Put them in a portfolio. o At the end of the year, reflect on how this session affects you as a person and as a teacher in terms of your financial status. o State your commitment on what you will do for the next year. o You are encouraged to do the suggested plans the next year around or improve them if you wish. SESSION 4: HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM Reflection: Journal Writing o In what concrete ways does the session help me become a more health concious teacher in promoting a positive health habit? “Health consists with temperance alone” (Alexander Pope). When trying to create a modification in your health as a teacher, consistency is needed. To have consistency you need temperance. A healthy lifestyle is not going on diets. A diet is defined as restricting oneself to a special course of foods in order to lose weight over a specific amount of time. A problem with diets is the “yo-yo effect”. This is where a person goes through a cycle of repetitive loss and gaining of body weight. This is not a way of achieving a healthy life, but just a way to believe you are. Temperance is the most consistent virtue needed when trying to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Temperance is abstaining from the desires of greatest pleasures. These pleasures can be found in the consumption of food and drinks. They are a result of mainly the sense of touch. While the rest of the senses follow after. For example, the smell of food, it is creating power to the pleasurable operation of items that are interrelated to the sense of touch. Temperance, therefore, applies to living a healthy lifestyle. SESSION 5: GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT (GAD) Reflection: Journal Writing In what concrete ways does the session help me become a more agentive teacher in promoting gender-fair classroom setting. The following are my ways to become more agentive teacher in promoting genderfair classroom setting: Challenge traditional male and female stereotypes when giving examples to students, e.g. ‘a female soldier’ or ‘a male nurse’. When you do see/hear examples of gender stereotypes use them as an opportunity for ‘teachable moments’ and ask students to discuss what they mean and why they use them. Aim to use gender neutral language (e.g. it, their, they). Avoid statements that generalize, ‘girls tend to…’ or ‘boys are more…’ Don’t limit what you ask your students to do, e.g. ask female students to carry sports equipment MODULE 3 CURRICULUM SESSION 1 EARLY LANGUAGE LITERACY AND NUMERACY (LECTURER: LUZ SANDRA R.

As a teacher, I am aware of every unique characteristics of my students. And I always planned lessons that caters their different potentials. 2. Do you find time to talk quietly alone with a pupil/student with difficulty? Yes, of course, because I see to it that every discussion will be properly and correctly understood by them before moving to the next discussions.

Complete the following statements: I can be more effective teacher when I give my best every day, not just in molding them intellectually, but most importantly by guiding them to discover their true potentials and interests alongside with proper values. I realized that the crucial role I play in the life of my learners is to be a Mother/Ate to them. Given this fact, I will see to it that I will look upon them every step of the path they are taking, and always reminding them to do their best in everything. I can be a better teacher when I can use and equipped myself with strategies and methods in teaching that I’ve been studying in my preparation years, also in involving myself in seminars/trainings that is suited for me. SESSION 3 INCLUSIVE EDUCATION WITH THE K-12 CURRICULUM (EMILY POMOY) Reflection: 1. What were your thoughts or ideas about inclusive education prior to the discussion of this lesson? For me, prior to the discussions of Inclusive Education, it is a continuous process which battles against all kinds of discrimination and exclusion. 2. What new ideas did you learn after taking up this lesson? I learned that schools are not only one place for learning, but, rather, the purpose of the school is to support learning in all environments. 3. How did you apply your teaching about inclusive education in your own classroom? I applied Inclusive Education in my own classroom, by giving special attention to students who low performing in my class. In my vacant time, I spent ample of my time, reviewing them, asking them what they find most difficult lesson for the day, and I do my best to simplify those, for them to not be left behind their classmates the next day. SESSION 4 KEY STAGES FOR BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM (GEMNA G. POBE) Reflection: 1. What have you realized from the lesson? How would knowing the curricular goals affect your teaching plans in the key stage you are handling? I realized that knowing the curricular goals from the discussions had given me more knowledge on how can I interact effectively to the key stages that I am handling. By understanding each key stages, I am now aware of the capacities and capabilities of my students, in which I can help them to realize those.

BRINA) Reflection: 1. In your Journal notebook, write a reflection on how you can be responsive to the needs of our Filipino Muslim learners? I am not a Muslim Filipino Citizen, so the first thing for me to do to be responsive to the needs of our Muslim Filipino learners, is to understand their traditions, beliefs and history. I will study harder to be with them, for me to have an effective teaching and learning process, because how can I give knowledge to them, if I myself didn’t have it in the first place? Therefore, I may be of help to them, by putting myself in their shoes.

Reflect on your role as a Teacher in promoting Learner-centered Learning. What have I done? I designed my classroom as more learner friendly. What am I doing?

SESSION 2: LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (PHOEBE OFTANA) Reflection: To deepen your understanding of Learning Environment, you may now engage yourself in a personal and professional reflection guided by the templates provided below. Get ready to document your thoughts in a reflective learning journal. The Reflective Learning Journal Template Area 1 Content (What) Process (How) Reasons (Why) Area 2 Explore the learning experience… Awareness…………….... I learned the principles which involves in Learning Environment. I listened and jot down notes for the important details the lecturer discussing about. I’ve use inductive method of listening (specific to general). I have to learn it because I have to be eqquiped with knowledge on learning environment in dealing with the actual scenario in school. Think of the learning experience in relation Evaluation…………………. I understand what I learned about it, and I am trying to grasp and plan it creatively for me to execute it by next year. The trategy is effective for me because I am able to understand the specificality before arriving to the generalization. Regulation………………. I will attend seminar which involves learning environment. It is duly needed because the world is changing,and teachers should be on track. I would always see to it that I will make my learners gain new knowledge everyday. I can make this strategy more effective if will understand deeply the concepts being discussed. Professional Development Personal Development to.. This learning experiences about learning environment contributed a lot for me in dealing with my varied learners everyday. I can be aware of them and I can use my awareness to keep on track with them and vice versa. It means a lot to me in seeing the real classroom setting, with 40 -50 students of it, I can picture out myself learning as well. I am not aiming to be perfect with it but, I am aiming to be nearly perfect and by not failing my learners because their learning depends in me. This learning experience tells me of who I am in totality, I am a teacher, and I was born to be one. There are many obstacle along the way but it doesn’t matter as long as I can be of help with my learners, I will continue to do so. It is approximately suitable goal. a This learning experience tells me to become better version of a teacher as I can be. To be always on track and trend in todays generation, for my learners to have a meaningful learning and a lifelong learning as well. I know myself better than anyone, I am a fighter and I will keep on fighting until I can produce good and competent fruits (students) in the near future.
