What are the available resources in your community and how can they facilitate the teaching-
learning process? You may ask the help of your school head or your colleagues in data

For the next activity, read the situation below and answer the questions that follow:
Ms. Ramos is a newly hired teacher assigned in a school 15 kilometers away from the
Poblacion. Upon reaching the school she found out there is nothing left in the room
where she will handle the Grade 5 class. The room is bare with only 35 tablet chairs for
the learners fill in the room. There is no bulletin board, teacher’s table and chair, and
even comfort room. How down-hearted she felt seeing the situation in her class. Her
school head told her that since her class is newly organized, she must deal with the
situation and that challenged her to do something about it because the school MOOE is
meager and is only enough to pay for electric and water bill and other priority needs of
the school. It would take a year before a budget could be allotted for the improvement of
her classroom. The school even told her to “make some miracles” to improve the
physical condition of her class.
Ms. Ramos contemplated on it. For quite sometimes she reflected on her school
head’s words. She approached one of her colleagues whose classroom is well-structured
and fully equipped with the necessary materials for teaching-learning activities.
She then started organizing her homeroom PTA and showed them the situation in
their classroom. She also talked to her friends and some relatives abroad. And in just 2
months she was able to make miracles!
