teachers shall find a way to access the learners’ affective area, which can be done
by providing them activities that suit their interests and needs.

To apply the competencies prescribed in the curriculum?

I will help them thoroughly understand what the competencies are and see why

Is teaching more of a vocation or more of a profession?

Teaching is more than a noble profession. It is a vocation, a calling. It does

not only revolve around teaching a subject matter, but teaching a student. It is
putting in mind and heart that teachers are not just after the grades of the
students, but they are into their betterment. It is more of being catalysts of change-
transforming and touching the lives of each and every learner that one may
encounter.

Teaching is more of a vocation for it is a lifelong commitment of fulfilling

one’s duties without asking something in return. It is the burning passion within the
teachers coming from their desire to lead the learners in their path. It is not only
about doing what is required of them, but always beyond what their duties and
responsibilities are. It is also a vocation for it takes a heart work, more than just
hard work. It is doing everything for the students with all your heart and mind. It’s
baring out your soul for the students’ betterment.

Thus, it is not just about coming to work and such. It is being one with your
work and your learners. It is doing everything that you can to fulfill your promise as
a teacher. It’s making your profession your passion.

idle. If one does not engage himself in developing his skills, he will not really
grow.

C. What I Learned
What are the seven domains of the PPST? Discuss each domain briefly based on
your own understanding.

Domains Brief Discussion

One must recognize the importance of content knowledge and
its interconnectedness within any across curriculum areas,
CONTENT KNOWLEDGE coupled with a sound and critical understanding of the
AND PEDAGOGY application of theories and principles of teaching and learning.
Provide learning environment which is safe, secure, fair, and
LEARNING conducive for learning. It should create a child-friendly
ENVIRONMENT atmosphere which will utilize materials and resources.
It should cater and be responsive to the diversity of the
DIVERSITY OF learners. Teachers should also be attentive to the differences
LEARNERS and needs of the students to encourage them to be successful.
Teachers should adhere to the curriculum and plan well various
activities which will cater the needs of the students. Everything
CURRICULUM AND they do inside and outside the classroom must be based on the
PLANNING principles of effective teaching.

DEVELOPMENT attitude, respect, and integrity.
 1. What is the difference between domains and strands, and strands and
indicators?
Domains are general in nature. It covers a broad sphere of what
teachers should target in the teaching-learning process. On the other
hand, strands are more specific dimensions of teacher practice under
every domain. And lastly, indicators are the concrete and observable
manifestation that the domains and strands are being achieved.
2. Why do we need to set standards for teachers?
It is a must to set standards for the teachers to improve the quality of
education in the Philippines. Through these standards as well, teachers are
given a guide on how their teaching must be done to reach the standards.
3. As a beginning teacher, which do you consider as the most important among
the seven domains? Justify your stand.
Content knowledge and pedagogy. I consider this as the most important
among the seven domain for this must be achieved first before anything
else. One cannot be considered a teacher without having a mastery of the
subject matter that he is teaching.

three indicators in the beginning and proficient teachers. Answer the questions
that follow.

Which of the indicators can you confidently say you are doing?
1. Which of the indicators are you NOT doing yet?
None. I am doing the aforementioned indicators.
 2. What do you notice about the indicators from beginning to
proficient teacher?
The indicators fall under content knowledge and pedagogy. It
means that before you can reach the next stage in your career,
one must be knowledgeable and has the mastery of the
subject matter that he is teaching.

E. What I Realize
Read thoroughly Domain 3 Diversity of Learners particularly the three
indicators in the beginning and proficient teachers. Answer the questions that
follow.
 1. What teaching practices do you think are responsive to the call of the
indicators in Domain 3 to address diversity of learners?
Teaching practices under 3.1.1 until 3.3.2 because these talks about the
strategies needed to accommodate the different needs of the learners.

2. To address learner diversity, what teaching practices would you employ to

enable you to move from beginning to the proficient career stage?
I will use differentiated and appropriate teaching strategies to cater the
various needs of my students. I will also design. Plan, and implement my own
materials to personalize it for all my learners.

C. Reflection

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 strongly believe that I can do all the indicators under the beginning stage
which fall under the content knowledge and pedagogy. It is indeed a basic and a
must for all the teachers to have the mastery of the subject matter that they are
teaching. As a teacher, I know that I can move to the higher career stage for I am
doing everything that I could to improve myself and my practices as a teacher. I
attend seminars and workshops which could help me to become an effective and
efficient teacher. I also plan to finish my graduate studies and be more engaged to
activities which will surely help me grow in my profession and as an individual.

Based on the results of the self-assessment tool, make a professional development

plan. (See attached)

challenges and problems you encountered and how did you overcome them?
1. Illustrate the process experienced on the manner you were recruited,
selected, and appointed.
I first submitted a lot of requirement. I had to prepare several copies
of them and have a copy signed and authenticated at the division
office. After submitting the documents, followed the demonstration
 teaching. After the demonstration teaching, we had the interview, the
English proficiency test, the other skills test. After all these, we’ve
waited for the Registry of Qualified Applicants (RQA). Then once
included, we waited for the appointment.

2. Illustrate the things and objects symbolic of the process of recruitment,

selection, and appointment you have experienced. For example, a small
stone signifies an easy process and a huge to very huge stone indicates
the degree of difficulty on a particular stage of your recruitment,
selection, and appointment.
The moon is the best symbol for theses whole process. Before you get
hired, you will have to undergo a lot of process and pass a lot of
documents. It will take a lot of time too. Its like getting to the moon,
which is technically impossible for a normal person to reach. That is
how hard the process is.

Activity 2. Answer the following questions by putting a check mark inside the
circle if you Agree or Disagree to the following statements and then justify your
answer on the space provided.
1. As teachers are professionals and hired as the right people to the right
position, it follows that in exercising professionalism in teaching, they need to
know the standards that they need to teach, and the need to know on how to
teach in the most effective ways.
Agree. To be able to provide the students will quality education which is the
mandate of the institution, a teacher must know first the standards and after
enrich himself/herself further on the pedagogy.
2. Being well-compensated in monetary and other benefits in teaching,
it is a must for teachers to render exemplary performance.
Agree. Since we are well-compensated, we must always give our
best, especially that it is for the future of our country.
3. If the teachers teach well in their 6 hours of actual teaching loads
and care more about their students, the result would bring a
favorable impact to students to do well and to do better in their
studies.
Agree. This will inspire the students.
4. These are the following criteria with respective points used in the evaluation
and selection procedure in the hiring of Teacher 1. Education 20%, Teaching
Experience 15%, LET/PBET Rating 15%, Specialized Training Skills 10%,
Interview 10%, Demonstration Teaching 15%, and Communication Skills 15%.
Agree. This are all the necessary criteria.

Agree. It is the right I believe of the person to know first about it and if its
really needed then this will test how deep ones commitment to the
profession is.
6. Any dues can be deducted to teachers aside from what is stipulated by law.
 Disagree. It has to abide by the law.
7. If a teacher reaches the age and service requirements for retirement, he
or she is allowed to enjoy the one-range salary raise.

8. It is just to pay additional compensation to a teacher who renders 8 hours of
actual teaching.
Agree. This applies to all employees even in the private sector.
9. If a teacher is married to one who is also a public school teacher, they are
not allowed to teach in the same school.
Disagree. To avoid problems, to would be more appropriate to make
married teachers work in the same school.
10.During disciplinary procedures, teachers are not entitled to due process and
must not be given a written notice, a time to access evidence, to make a
defense, a time for preparation and appeal.
Disagree. This will violate their basic rights as a Filipino.

Activity 3. Direction: Challenge yourself by justifying your answer to uphold the

integrity and professional duties of a teacher.
1. Any teacher engaged in actual classroom instruction shall not be required to
render more than 6 hours of actual classroom teaching per day with all the
classroom teaching preparation, checking of given exercises and other related
work to their normal teaching duties. Provided however, that where the
exigencies of the service so require, any teacher may be required to render
more than 6 hours but not exceeding 8 hours of actual teaching hours a day.
How does this affect your integrity and professional duties as a teacher?
A teacher’s job is very demanding and stressful. That is why, they should be
required to further stay in the school beyond 8 hrs. They too need time to rest
to be able to deliver the lessons effectively.
2. There shall be no discrimination whatsoever in the entrance to the teaching
profession, and/or during in exercising its duties or even in the termination of
tenure in service. Does this affect your integrity and professional duties as a
teacher?
Yes, this is a basic right of an individual applying for a job/position regardless of
whether in private or public sector.
3. As a teacher you submitted yourself in the evaluation and hiring process of your
Schools Division by following what was stipulated in DO 7, s. 2015. In the RQA,
you were ranked number 1. It so happened the appointing authority selected
and appointed the teacher next in rank to you. Did the appointing authority
violate your rights as a teacher? Does this affect your integrity and professional
duties as a teacher?
Yes, because that is the sole purpose why there is ranking. It is called ranking
because the applicants are being arranged from the ones most deserving til the
ones who least reached the criteria. And so this must be followed strictly. If not,
this defeats the very purpose why there exits such thing as RQA.
4. DepEd provides the curricula to be implemented and teachers are encouraged
to be innovative in their teaching and classroom methods. The department
 supports the academic freedom of the teacher in the discharge of their
professional duties, particularly with regard to teaching and classroom
management. Does this affect your integrity and professional duties?
Yes. Being the classroom manager, a teacher must be given the freedom
especially that students are different form sections to sections. This means that
one class may have a different need than the others. It is the call of the teacher
to adjust to such situations.
5. Salary scales of teachers shall provide for a gradual progression from a minimum to
a maximum salary by means of regular increments, granted automatically after 3
years to the maximum steps, as provided by law. Provided, that the efficiency rating
of the teacher concerned is at least Satisfactory. How true is this? Does this affect
your integrity and professional duties as a teacher?
This does not affect one’s integrity.

C. 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 always adhere to the Code of Ethics for
Public School Teachers in performing all my functions as teacher in the public
school. Whatever I will be doing, I will make sure that it is within my bounds as a
teacher as stipulated in the Magna Carta for Public School teachers. Before
anything else, I will always keep in mind that it is the student’s welfare that is my
main concern as a teacher. I must not do anything that will taint this noble
profession.

Teacher’s personality
Teachers are different from one another, in the same manner that students are
diverse. Regardless of the teachers own personality, the learner’s welfare must
always be the first thing more than anything else.

Teacher’s social adjustment

Teachers may have varying backgrounds but it must always be made sure that
regardless of such backgrounds, it must be the learner’s welfare that must come
first. It adjustments need to be made, a teacher has to be flexible so as to
respond correctly to such situations.

Teacher’s professional growth and development

Teachers must always engage in professional development programs so as to
make sure that he/she is updated with all the current trends in the field of
education and to keep up with the changing times.

right for Mrs. Reyes to do such?

of expression. Besides, it does not violate any law.

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

No, because it is not within the bounds of his duties as a teacher.

but she did not join them due to personal reason and only asked the

Yes, it is her duty to be there.

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

No, she will not maintain her good reputation in doing so.

B. 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?
I was able to see how I performed the previous school year and the areas to
improve.

2. Are there other interventions you need to continuously improve yourself?

Cite examples.
Classroom management and Communication with stakeholders
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.
Through this session, I was able to learn what RPMS and IPCF are. I was able to
gain knowledge on the different terms that I need to know. Also, through this I
was able to reflect on how I am going to accomplish my next IPCRF. I was able
to assess myself and plan the things I need to do next so as to improve on my
weaknesses.

B. Activities and Assessment

Reflect on the following statements and write your impressions.
1. Teachers employed by the government are provided incentives to develop
and hone their potentials, and values for better public service.
This is a big help for teachers to grow professionally and update themselves
on the latest trends in the profession.
2. Induction programs are activities to update newly-hired teachers about the
government thrusts, operations, duties, responsibilities, benefits, and privileges.
This prepares them for the work that they need to do.
3. A scholarship program service contract will oblige you to render return service
for the privilege you earned before you can apply for another scholarship.
This is just so as to give chance to other teachers too.
4. A local scholarship program may be allowed to teachers who may at the same
time report to school provided the degree or course is finished within the
prescribed period. However, if teachers will not be allowed to study on official
time, they may go on official vacation leave with pay, or leave without pay. This
leave should not be more than 1 year in case there are not enough leave credits.
This is just right.
5. A graduate program is a career path teachers may pursue to enhance and
maximize professional growth and for promotion in the department.
This must also come with other trainings and workshops provided by other
insitutions.

5. Vacation leave No If without vacation Yes
6. Parental Leave No For solo patents Yes

C. Reflection
“I AM VALUED AND REWARDED”
Write insights gained and perceived on teacher’s entitlements benefits,
rewards, and recognition.
Since teachers are well-compensated it must move teachers to always work
hard and give their best in doing their work. Compared with other countries,
our compensation may be smaller but I must say is still enough for everyday
life especially if you are single. Hopefully, with all this, teachers stay inspired
to do their jobs and impact their students positively.
