Session 1 – The DepEd’s Mandate
As a newly hired teacher in DepEd, what can you contribute to:
a. Promote quality education?
In education, the teacher plays a vital role. He or she is responsible not just imparting
knowledge to pupils but also shaping the behaviors, attributes, and character of learners.
As a new teacher, I will contribute to the promotion of high-quality education by continuing my
professional development by attending short-term refresher courses, workshops, seminars,
and educational conferences. I will always reflect on my teaching methods, assess the
methods and strategies I employ, and seek out new ways to improve my teaching practices. I
will also urge my students to be active learners by giving them material that foster
collaboration, involving them in debates and discussions, and allowing them to share their new
ideas to make the classroom discussion more interesting.
b. uphold equity in education?
I can uphold equity in education by giving equal opportunity among my pupils regardless of
their race, religion, culture, color, and status. Providing them with varied instruction to address
the different learning styles of my pupils. I will remove the barriers in learning and promote
collaboration in the classroom and give more opportunity to all the pupils to excel.
c. Respond to the needs of the learners?
To respond to the needs of the learners I can contribute through openly involve them in
classroom decision-making in the classroom. I will provide them opportunities to engage in
learning experiences that they have initiated. I will consistently monitor my pupils progress and
provide them with proper intervention.
Session 2: Vision, Mission, and Core Values
As a new public-school teacher, what are your visions for yourself, for your class, and
your school community?
Self: As a new public-school teacher, my goal is to be a teacher that encourages my students
to enjoy learning. I will strive to identify my strengths and then use them to inspire my students,
leading to a positive outcome for each pupil and a shift in the way my teaching works. My goals
are to motivate and engage my pupils through ongoing and everyday student-centered activelearning lessons, as well as to help all my students discover meaning in their lives through
education.
Class: My vision is to have a class wherein there is collaboration among all my learners. To
create an atmosphere where each individual feels accepted and valued. To create a classroom
wherein there is no bias and there is equal opportunity for learning to everyone. I want to create
a classroom that is conducive to learning and promote love for learning.
School Community: My vision to my school community is to be a learning environment that
are deeply united have an array of benefits for students, teachers, parents, and the wider
school. A community that has a strong leadership to help the school in providing quality
education to all learners.
Key Topic 1: DepEd’s Vision
Scenario 1:
Teacher Johanna is a Grade 7 teacher at Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial National High school.
She encourages her learners to demonstrate their love of country through practicing acts of
kindness inside and outside the school premises. Provide at least two ways of integrating this
in her lessons. You may respond in 3-5 sentences.
Teacher Johanna should think first of the subjects where she can integrate and achieve her
lesson objective, say for example she integrates it in AP and ESP then she can use it as a
group task or individual task to her pupils wherein they demonstrate practicing act of kindness.
Key Topic 2: DepEd’s Mission
Scenario 2:
One of the Grade 9 advisory students of Teacher Andrew is showing interest in joining
scouting. However, the student is very shy and timid. In what ways can Teacher Andrew help
his learners to gain confidence and participate in scouting? You may respond in 3-5 sentences.
The first step Teacher Andrew should do is to talk to the pupil and explain to him the benefit of
joining the Scouting. Encourage him that joining scouting is an unforgettable experience where
he can learn to socialize with his other classmates and learn cooperation, that through this
activity he can overcome his shyness and gain confidence in interacting with other people.
Teacher Andew should encourage him to go beyond his comfort zone and joining the scouting
is the perfect idea for it.
Key Topic 3: The DepEd Core Values
Scenario 1:
Teacher Helga is a Grade 1 teacher at Biñan Elementary School. She is teaching Science.
She wants to make sure that she can provide a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and
motivating environment in her class. What should she do to achieve this? You may respond in
3-5 sentences.
Teacher Helga should provide activities in science that promotes child-friendly, gendersensitive, safe, and motivating environment in her class by preparing a lesson plan a head of
time. She should make sure that her activities are suited for the learners, not gender biased,
safe and encourage participation to all learners.
Scenario 1:
Teacher Luis is a Grade 10 guidance counselor and a Values Education teacher at Arellano
High School. One of his classes has a diverse religious background. One day, two of the
learners insisted that the class should start with a prayer led by an assigned student. This
leads to a heated debate arguing about their own religious and spiritual beliefs. How can
Teacher Luis mediate and help resolve the argument? (You may refer to Department Order
(No. 32, s. 2013) and Department Order (69, s. 1990)).
Teacher Luis should explain to all his pupils that students with different religious beliefs should
not force to participate to any religious activity that is not allowed on their religion. They should
learn to respect the religion of other people to avoid discrimination in the class. That’s why if
one of their classmates does not join or lead the prayer in their class, they should respect their
decision.
Scenario 2:
The DepEd Core Values teaches us the love for God (maka-Diyos), love for fellow men (makatao), love for nature (makakalikasan), and love for country (makabansa). Teacher Molina
inspires his Grade 2 learners to become a better version of themselves through exemplifying
qualities and characters of our national heroes. What classroom management strategies can
Teacher Molina employ to encourage learners to apply the DepEd core values in real life
situations?
To teach the DEpEd core values to Grade 2 pupils, Teacher Molina can use it as an activity
wherein she can assign her class per group to act as one of the national heroes and portray
the good values that they have, through this pupil can internalized the good values in real life
situations.

1. In what ways has this module helped you reflect on the Vision, Mission, Core Values, and
Strategic Directions of the Department of Education?
Through this module I now understand that term “teacher” is a very broad definition.
That his/her role does not end in the four walls of the classroom. Teacher is one of the
important people who mold and shape the minds of the pupils. Because of this module,
I realized that I cannot provide the quality education to my pupils if I did not seek to
continue my professional development.
2. How has this module helped you clarify your vision and motivations in serving your learners
better and in promoting a learner-centered environment for them?
This module serves as my wake-up call to continue my dream to change the lives of
my pupils as my top priority despite of the challenges I encountered as a new teacher.
This serves as my guide to be a competent teacher and provide learner centered
environment that focus on the welfare of my pupils
3. What are your personal beliefs and values that are aligned with the DepEd’s VMV (Vision,
Mission, Core Values)?
My personal beliefs that are aligned with the DepEd Vision, Mission and Core Values is
that “We should not judge a book by it’s cover”, because I realized that as a teacher, I
should not judge my pupils by just looking at them or by their mistakes they created
because, the intelligence of a child is not measured by it. I should give equal opportunities
to all my pupils when it comes to learning regardless of their attitudes or behaviors. And as
a teacher, it is my duty to change the lives of my pupils one at a time.

of a bullying incident that you are not aware of. She was very angry and disappointed about
what happened because the incident was not addressed and resolved properly. Her daughter
is still afraid and decided not to go to school that day. The incident happened during Science
time because the teacher was late to enter the class. You also had other classes to attend to
and had no chance to meet your advisory class during that time. Who should you seek help
to?

tomorrow. However, you also have classes to attend, and your learners are expecting to deliver
a performance task that they prepared for. What are you going to do as a colleague and who
should you direct her to?
I will honestly tell her that I also have classes that I needed to attend. I will advise her to
message the school head that she can longer go to school, and she needed a teacher to
substitute for her so that the school head would be the one to decide whose teacher is available
to look for her class.

manages. What are you going to do as the adviser?
I will explain to Lito that I understand his role as the President of the Supreme Student
Government., that he has lots of duties and responsibilities to full fill, but I will also remind him
that he should not just focused on this, he has still subjects that needs to prioritize. He should

Session 5 – Handling Advisory Classes
Required Task 1: Introductory Activity
As you go over the activity, write your reflections below by answering the questions that
follow. Limit your answers to all the three questions below into a maximum of 600 words.
Guide Questions:
1. What is the role of a teacher to his/her learners?
Teachers plays a significant role in the life of his/her learners. As a teacher, it is their
responsibility to bring out the best in their students and inspire them to achieve greatness.
Students are thought to be the nation's future, and teachers are thought to be a reliable
guide for their progress. Teachers are responsible for shaping their future, making him or
her a better human being. A teacher’s presence in a student’s life can boost their morale
and guide them to be more valuable in life. Now that we are in the modern era, the role of
the teacher also changes. Teachers are responsible to bring the lesson to real-life situations
to encourage participation to the learners. Another very important part of the teacher’s role
is to monitor learner’s performances, assessments, achievements, and learners’
development. With all that information the teacher will find easier to get to know the students
properly and adopt different strategies that ensure successful learning for all. The role of the
teacher has no limit when it comes to ensuring the welfare of his/her learners.
2. How do you think are those roles manifested in being a classroom adviser?
These roles of the teacher are manifested in the classroom by implementing it by the
adviser in her actions. Performing his/her duties wholeheartedly to all his/her learners.
3. So far, how was your experience as a classroom adviser?
My experience as a classroom teacher is challenging yet rewarding. I have learned that I
need to study effectively about classroom management. I realized also that each pupils
have different learning styles that is why I must provide varied activities in my lessons. They
have diverse ways of learning that is why it is very challenging on my part as a teacher.
Because of this experience, they motivate me to be strive my best to be an excellent teacher
and continue my professional growth.

Key Topic 2: Connecting with Learners
Optional Task
Choose five (5) tips on how to connect with your learners and identify ways on how to apply
this to your class:
Tips to connect with your learners
(Kotler, et. al. 1998)
1. Listen carefully without interrupting.
2. Find common ground
3. Develop a Positive Classroom
Environment
4. Be consistent in your rules
5. Care
How to apply to your class
Let the learners share their opinions and let
them feel that they are valued.
By asking them simple questions like, “What
movies do you watch?”. This gives you
access to them in a new way removing the
walls in the classroom. This bridge can
provide access to their heart knowing that
someone cared for them.
Incorporate morning meeting time into each
day to connect with your students. Provide a
reward system and avoid giving negative
punishment instead focused on rewarding
positive behaviors.
Set your rules and follow them. Don’t show
favoritism. This creates disrespect in your
classroom.
Care by showing acts of kindness, tapping
their shoulders, praising them and through
the tone of your voice when you speak to
them.
Module 3: Creating an Engaging Physical and Virtual Learning Environment
Session 1: Positive Discipline in Physical and Virtual Learning Environment
Required Task 1: Scenario Analysis
Read and analyze each scenario. Try to identify different methods of developing discipline
among learners by answering the questions after every case.
Scenarios
Case 1: On Being Tardy
Possible Answer and Points for
Feedback
Rhea: I live a few kilometers away from my
school. In the morning, sometimes I have to
fetch water and cook food for my siblings
before I can go to school. I have no money
for transport, so I walk to school. Learners in
our school get late slips when we don’t arrive
on time. I don’t want to get too many.
Rhea’s teacher: I have to make sure the
children understand that coming late to
school is not acceptable. They have to know
that there are consequences for their
tardiness. I always give them punishment.
Some of them are even used to it. They just
offer themselves up because they know I
don’t listen to any excuses.
What alternative/s to corporal punishment
could suggest to the teacher?
Scenarios
Giving corporal punishment is not a solution
to tardiness. Before giving judgement to the
student why do not ask first why they are late.
We can never know what is causing a
student to be consistently late unless we ask
them. Like the situation of Rhea, she does
not like to go to school always late, but she is
compelled due to some of the reasons that
she has to cook food for her siblings and no
money for transportation. As a teacher, we
must be considerate to our learners. They do
not deserve all the blame for being late
instead we have to show to the student that
we intend to solve this issue together and
that they are not alone. We can give them
additional time after the class to cope up with
the lessons that they missed.
Possible Answer and Points for
Feedback
Case 2: On Disruptive Behavior
Marcus: I am feeling good today. I am telling
funny stories, and everyone is laughing. The
teacher tries to tell me to stop talking, but I
want to show everyone that I am not afraid. I
am tough and cannot be bossed around by a
teacher.
Marcus’ teacher: I have to ensure that the
class is well-behaved. Otherwise, they will
just get out of control, and I will not be able to
teach. The learners will take over and other
teachers will laugh at me. I will put Marcus in
his place by embarrassing him publicly. I will
make an example out of Marcus so that
learners will not dare to show disrespect by
making noise in my class.
What alternative action/s could you offer to
the teacher in order to promote positive
discipline?
Scenarios
Embarrassing Marcus in front of the class is
not the best solution to discipline him, it could
either worsen the situation or make him more
aggressive to fight back. What the teacher
could do to promote positive discipline
among this learner like Marcus is to identify
why the pupils behave like this, sometimes
students misbehave because, they have
problems at home and the school is their
scape place to forget their problem. The
teacher can talk to Marcus privately and
explain his misbehavior in a calmly manner.
Tell him the rules and regulations of the class
and the consequences of the action they
made. If Marcus is the type of student who
needs attention then involve him to group
tasks and make him the leader of the group,
through this simple act Marcus will feel that
he is part of the class and will learn to
collaborate with her classmates.
Possible Answer and Points for
Feedback
Case 3: On Giving a Wrong Response to a
Question
Clark: I am so nervous in class. I am afraid
that the teacher is going to ask a question
when I don’t know the answer. Even if the
answer is obvious, sometimes when the
teacher looks at me, I can’t speak. I become
scared and just remain quiet. I know
everyone is staring at me and laughing, but
what can I do? I just can’t risk giving the
wrong answer. Even in tests, I feel so afraid
and always fail because I don’t know how to
answer the questions. I just don’t understand
anything that is being taught, and I don’t want
Not all learners learn the same way, that’s
why teacher should be aware of the
individual differences of the learners. The
behavior of Clark in the class wherein he
always gives wrong answer doesn’t mean he
is not paying attention, but he doesn’t
understand the lesson. This makes him
afraid to participate in the class because he
thought that his classmate will laugh at him.
How the teacher could help Clark is by giving
him a remedial lesson after the class. Talked
to be laughed at. The best thing is to stay to him what he did not understand in the

Case 4: On Absenteeism
Elna: Sometimes my mother sends me to
sell things at the market and I can’t go to
school. Sometimes I feel bored on the way to
school and visit my friend instead of going to
school. Sometimes I don’t like being in a
class where the teacher always asks me
questions and looks at me in a funny way. I
ND
know that I am not going far after the 2 year
High School, so what’s the point? I might as
well do what I want.
Elna’s teacher: We can’t have learners
missing class whenever they want. Her case
should serve as an example so that her
behavior doesn’t spread. In the morning
assembly, I will reprimand her, and give her
a final warning. If she doesn’t listen, she will
be recommended to drop out of this school.
We can’t have learners undermining
authority at this school.
If the students lack the interest in going to
school maybe there are reasons behind this.
Like the situation of Elna wherein the teacher
is the reason why Elna don’t want to go to
school anymore. The behavior of the teacher
of Elna is very unacceptable, she should be
the one to treat her pupils in a nice way and
not to judge her, it is her job to make her
students feel safe in the classroom and not
to discourage them to go to school. She
should be the one who need to change her
treatment to her pupils, reprimanding Elna
with her behavior and giving her final warning
is not the right solution because this only
proves that the teacher does not care with
Elna.

Scenarios
Due to Pandemic, school had to shift from
face-to-face to online education. Sudden and
unprepared students were forced to study
online, and this caused anxiety and stress to
students. What the teacher could do is to be
considerate with the situation of the pupils.
Provide them enough time to submit their
requirements. Always encourage them even

Acknowledge them that everyone is going

Case 7: Technical Issues
Allen: I really wanted to pass the subject,
attend our online classes on time and learn
our lessons well. But because of my poor
internet connection and I am only using a
mobile phone, it is difficult for me to catch up
with the discussions as well as with the
required tasks. Everyone is doing a great job
except me. I think I should just drop out from
school.
Allen’s teacher: I noticed that Allen is having
difficulty with internet connection since he
keeps signing on and off during our online
classes. If this continues, there’s no way for
him to understand our lessons as well as
other students in the class. However, I have
to treat my students equally to avoid
favoritism. I should not give him special
treatment
If Allen could not cope up to the lesson due
to poor internet connection, then the teacher
should provide him printed materials that
are aligned with their lessons so that he can
still cope up with their lesson and not left
