ANSWER : My philosophy in teaching goes with the quote cited by Nelson Mandela that
‘Education is the most powerful weapon that we can use to change the world’. I pursued my
passion to teach children that’s why I chose teaching as a profession. I believe that educating
the young minds in a right way can have significant impacts not just on the lives of the learners
but also in the whole community. These children will be the future molders of the world that’s
why it is a must for us teachers to instill them the knowledge, skills and most importantly the
values that they will be needing to adapt to the changes as they live. As educators, we must
teach them to become lifelong learners ready to face life’s challenges. When we teach children
properly, they will become the backbone of the community where they belong. If we want a
better future, we must educate our children the way we want to see the world in them.

best to impart to them the necessary things that they will be needing in
the future. I want to see them grow as individuals they desired to be.

ANSWER :The strategy that I intend to apply a learner-centered


philosophy to ensure the attainment of my vision is that I must teach them
the necessary 21st century skills that they will be needing in the future.
This can be done through differentiating my teaching techniques in
adherence to their capacity and readiness as learners. As their teacher, I
must also find ways on how to continually improve myself both personally

Post-Test
Resolve the issue.
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 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
professional your passion.

form.

1. From your map, choose two events to write about. Consider the following questions when
writing about each of these: why did you choose to include this event on your map? How will
this event affect your pursuit for professional development?

Pursuing my graduate studies : I chose to include this event on my map because it is a


necessity for me to pursue and earn my graduate studies for promotion. This event affects
my pursuit for professional development in the sense that aside from it is one of the
requirements to get promoted, this is also a medium for me to enhance my skills and
knowledge for future purposes.

Promoted to a higher position : This event signifies my ‘reward’ for my pursuit for
professional development. If I will be promoted to a much higher position, this entails me
of a broader power. Such power signifies wider responsibilities. Such obligations will guide
me to strive for more professional advancement thus will lead me to professional
excellence.

Activity 1. THROWBACK
Recall a time when you were recruited and employed at DepEd. What were the 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.

Applying for a Teacher I position at DepEd was not an easy job. It takes a lot of preparations as an
applicant. The process involves the following, namely : You have to register to an online
registration for the Unique Applicant Number which will be used as your unique code to be
included in your documents ; You have to prepare the required documents to be submitted in two
copies or more ; You also have to undergone demonstration teaching, interview, validation of
skills if you don’t have an NC II and a lot more. After series of application processes, you have to
wait if you are included in the RQA. That will be the time that you are eligible to have a position
as Teacher I in the DepEd.

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.

I would choose my old but functional netbook because this really helped me a lot throughout
the application process until now as being appointed as Teacher I. I really can’t imagine how I
was able to surpass all the application process if not with this handy tool of mine. This got all
the jobs done

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.

Agree 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 2. Being well-compensated in monetary and other benefits in teaching, it is a


must for teachers to render exemplary performance.

Agree 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 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 5. No teacher may be transferred without his or her consent. Should there be an
urgent need or demand for transfer, the school superintendent must notify the
teacher beforehand and state the reasons.

Disagree 6. Any dues can be deducted to teachers aside from what is stipulated bylaw.
Agree 7. If a teacher reaches the age and service requirements for retirement, he or
she is allowed to enjoy the one-range salary raise.

Agree 8. It is just to pay additional compensation to a teacher who renders 8 hours of


actual teaching.

Disagree 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 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.
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?

As a public school teacher, we cannot deny the fact that sometimes we are obliged to
work beyond official hours of duty. However, as stipulated in RA 4670, teachers
may be required to render more than 6 hours but not exceeding 8 hours of actual
teaching hours a day. This should be followed because public school teachers are
also humans, thus entails that we also need a rest. We also have to do some personal
duties like taking care of our own family.

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?

Discrimination in the teaching profession should not be tolerated as this can be a


reason of loosing someone’s confidence thus may affect his performance as a
teacher.

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?

In the appointment aspect, one of the factors to be considered is the so-called


localization. If the appointed teacher is the next in rank and his residence from the
prospect school is nearer compared to mine, he is eligible for the grant of the item
even if I was ranked number 1.

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?

Teaching and classroom management belong to teacher’s responsibilities. As a


teacher, we are recommended to have innovations on our teaching and classroom
methods provided that it is for the betterment of our students and we are guided
by the law. As managers inside the classroom, teachers know better what to be
implemented.
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?

The statement aforementioned is stated in Article III, Section 16 of RA 4670 or


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 fulfill my duties and responsibilities in
adherence to the existing laws of being a public school teacher. I promise to be an
effective and efficient teacher and serve as a role model in the community. I also
promise to uplift the dignity and reputation of being a public servant and to execute
things that can uplift the teaching profession.

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?

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.

No, such act of Mr. Mario Ocampo violates Article IV of the Code of Ethics for Professional
Teachers. As a professional teacher, he must embrace professional advancement and such
includes attending to relevant trainings/seminars that will improve his craft .

Situation no. 3

Ms. Rose Q. Reyes posted two-piece swimwear picture of herself in her Facebook page. She

Ms. Rose Q. Reyes has the right to post anything on her facebook account for as long as that
it will not tolerate any scandalous scenario on soocial media or in any platform. She should

Maya not to receive any compensation for his services rendered since this will be a precedent for
the succeeding activity coordinator?

1.0)
so?
No, Mrs Dae P. Habalo violated Article III, Section 3 of the Code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers which states that ‘Under no circumstance shall a teacher be
prejudice or discriminate against a learner’. It was very clear that Mrs. Habalo
discriminated the students for he is not a resident of the said barangay where the
school is located.

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

not answerable for any untoward incident to happen to the students?
Mrs. Sedillo has the responsibility of securing first the welfare of her students. Personal
things should not hinder her practice of being a professional teacher. Whatever may
happen to her students during the activity, she is accountable for it as what is stipulated in

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 3 rd 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?
The situation above of Madam Estelita Ramos violated Article X, Section 2 of the Code of
Ethics for Professional Teachers which states that ‘A teacher shall maintain a good
reputation with respect to the financial matters such as in the settlement of his debts and
loans in arranging satisfactorily his private financial affairs’.

learned from them?

In accomplishing my IPCRF and learning activities and assessment,


I have realized that even though there were lots of
documents/MOVs to be prepared to get a higher rating, it is really a
must to accomplish those not just for the sake of compliance but it is
a compulsory activities for us teachers.

2. Are there other interventions you need to continuously improve


yourself?Cite examples.

As I observed, I think at this time all of interventions that I need


to continuously improve myself were already included in the
IPCR and RPMS.

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.

I’ve learned that as teachers, it is a must for us not just to teach


our students what they have to learn but also to inspire them to
better individuals. We teachers do not only hae the obligation to
teach young minds but we also have to learn on how to equip
ourselves with knowledge and skills for our personal and
professional development. Teaching does not only involves teacher
and her students but the whole community where the child
belongs-the stakeholder.

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.

According to management principles, if the employees are motivated and taken good care by
the company, he/she is inspired to do better at wok. Teachers employed by the government
should be provided incentives in order for them to wok effectively and efficiently.

2. Induction programs are activities to update newly-hired teachers about the government thrusts, operations,
duties, responsibilities, benefits, and privileges.

Induction programs are needed by newly-hired teachers like me for us to be oriented on our
obligations, privileges, benefits and other matters as neophytes in the service. It is a must for us as it
will enlighten us to better know the department and the profession we inclined with.

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.
In every privilege that an employee might get should have a corresponding return service. This
will allow to individual to appreciate the privilege given to him and will take into consideration
that he must provide services to compensate the benefits he could derive in granting to him the
said privilege.

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.

The aforementioned provision is just and lawful.

5. A graduate program is a career path teachers may pursue to enhance and maximize professional
growth and for promotion in the department.
Engaging in a graduate programs is a must for teachers in order for us to develop personally
and professionally. It will also be a venue for us teachers to develop more our self-confidence
and will put us to a higher platform in the service.

Reflection

“I AM VALUED AND REWARDED”


Write insights gained and perceived on teacher’s entitlements benefits, rewards,
and recognition.

As a government employee, we must know our entitlements benefits,


rewards, and recognitions. This will allow to appreciate more our work and
eventually will help us realize that we are also being taken good care. Such
privileges in return should be compensated by our efforts and work
performance because this will avoid us to abuse our privileges.
