lessons and making sure that the policies, plans, programs and projects will be
monitored through setting goals and objectives that are aligned with the DepEd, Mission
and Vision.

Alternative Learning System
It makes quality education that is accessible to all. I will do my job/ service to the
best that I can. I will provide a conducive environment for ALS which does not
compromise effective instructional delivery and I will use the strategic direction of
DepEd as a guide in facilitating learning.
2.
 Promote quality education?
As a teacher that is new in service, I have to be familiarized with the DepEd. I must
put in mind and in my heart the mandate, mission, vision, core values and the
strategic direction of DepEd to ensure that I am promoting a quality education.
 Make education accessible to all?
It means that I will be extending my service to the different kinds of learners. I will
make this profession my passion so that I can serve the people with all my heart.

For the learners to discover their potential, they should appreciate first the
process of learning and the positive contribution it could bring not only in their
lives but also in the society.
First, they should understand what the competencies are and why they are
needed, so that they can realize that it can apply it outside the classroom not just
inside the classroom
Let them see the differences of each country, after that they can reflect on the
foundation of home and cultural values of the Philippines.
Promote quality education that is accessible to all. Delivery substantial
instruction to all kinds of learners and extending my service to everyone are
indeed my vital functions.
As a teacher to achieve the learner-centered philosophy, I have to make my
students the heart of my teaching and learning process that the classroom
discussion fits to all my learners.

To create a learning environment which is conclusive and inclusive, that is
accommodating to the needs of the different kinds of learner.
All students are different from one another, it also addresses by giving different
task which enclose the needs of every learner that I have.
I will make my students feel that they are in the learning environment where they
can always be motivated to study and learn.
We must make sure that the various instructional deliveries that will be provided
to them are well planned. They are given different tasks wherein they can use the
competencies needed for real life application. We do not just teach them what to
learn, but how to learn.
5. My Philosophy in Teaching
I believe that all learners are entitled of quality education regardless of their status
in life. This is the main reason why I want to promote a quality education and make
it accessible to everyone.
6. Ten years from now, I can see that the graduates equipped with the skills they learn
from the world some are already establishing their names in their chosen path and
other are successful at this time.
7. To equip them with the 21st century skills that K to 12 curriculums is aiming, let
them realize what they want in life before I can help them in what they want.

G. Post Test
There is more about education than a respectable career. It is a calling, a
vocation. It not only revolves around teaching a subject, but also teaching a student.
It brings in mind and heart that teachers are not only after the students' grades, but
are improving them. It is all about being a force for change-transforming and
influencing the lives of each and every student.
Teaching is something like a vocation and, without asking anything in return, it
is a lifetime commitment to serving one's duties. Among teachers, it is the raging fire
that comes from their ability to lead the learners on their direction. It is not only
about doing what is expected of them, but also beyond what their obligations and
duties are.
Therefore, it is not just a matter of getting to work and so forth. For your job and
your learners, it is becoming one. It is doing everything that you can to fulfill your
promise as a teacher. It’s making your profession your passion.

equitable, and conducive to learning. It should build a

It should appeal to the diversity of learners and be open to
DIVERSITY OF LEARNERS them. To allow them to be effective, teachers should also be
attentive to the nuances and needs of the students.
CURRICULUM AND
PLANNING
Teachers should stick to the program and schedule
different events that will suit the students' needs well.

show strong personal regard for his career.
1. In existence, domains are general. In the teaching-learning method, it
encompasses a wide area of what teachers should target. Strands, on the
other hand, are more precise measurements of instructor experience in any
area. And lastly, markers are the real and measurable expression of the
attainment of the realms and strands.
2. Setting requirements for teachers to enhance the quality of education in the
Philippines is a must. In these expectations as well, teachers are given a guide
on how to meet the norms for their teaching.
3. Awareness and pedagogy of material. I think this would be the most
significant of the seven realms for this to be done first before anything else.
Without possessing a knowledge of the subject matter he is studying, one
cannot be called a tutor.

G. Reflection
I believe that under the beginning stage, I will do all the metrics that come under
the material awareness and pedagogy. Indeed, getting the mastery of the subject
matter they are teaching is a fundamental and a must for all teachers. As an
instructor, I know I will progress to the higher level of my career and I do whatever
I can to better myself and my teaching activities.
