4. Your Analysis:

a) How important is involvement of all stakeholders of the school in the school's

programs and activities?

Stakeholders are people or groups who have an interest or concern in something, in this case,
the school. When we talk about stakeholders in a school setting, we are referring to everyone
who is involved in or affected by the school's programs and activities. This includes students,
teachers, parents, administrators, and even community members.

The involvement of all stakeholders in the school's programs and activities is crucial for the
overall success and effectiveness of the school. When all stakeholders are actively engaged and
participate in decision-making processes, it helps create a sense of ownership and commitment to
the school's goals and objectives.

For example, when students are involved in planning school events or activities, they are
more likely to feel connected to their school and have a positive experience. Similarly, when
parents are engaged in their child's education and school activities, it can lead to better
communication between home and school, ultimately benefiting the student's academic success.

Involving all stakeholders also ensures that diverse perspectives and ideas are considered,
leading to more well-rounded and inclusive programs and activities. It fosters a sense of
community and collaboration within the school, creating a supportive environment for everyone
involved.

Overall, the involvement of all stakeholders in a school's programs and activities is essential
for promoting a positive school culture, enhancing student learning, and fostering a strong sense
of community and collaboration.

b) What specific principle of curriculum development justifies the importance of

cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders of the school? The learner's
growth is conditioned by the environmental components of the school. These
components are the curriculum, the school plant, and the non-human resources.

In simple terms, the text is talking about why it's important for everyone involved in a
school to work together. The principle of curriculum development says that a student's learning
and development are influenced by the school environment, including things like the curriculum
(what they're taught), the school building and facilities, and other resources like books and
technology.

Basically, this means that how well a student learns and grows depends on how well the
school is set up and how everyone involved in the school - teachers, administrators, parents, and
even the community - work together to create a positive and supportive environment for
learning. Cooperation and collaboration among all these stakeholders are key to helping students
succeed.

 ACTIVITY NO. 11

11.1 What are the subject areas in the school's curriculum?

In this text, the question is asking about the different topics or subjects that are taught in a
school's curriculum. Subject areas in a school's curriculum are the different categories of
knowledge and skills that students learn about. For example, some common subject areas in a
school's curriculum include math, science, language arts, social studies, and physical education.
Each subject area focuses on different aspects of learning and helps students develop a well-
rounded education. By studying a variety of subject areas, students can gain knowledge in
different areas and develop important skills that will help them succeed in school and in life.

11.2 Which part of the child's growth and development may be influenced by each of the
subject areas in the curriculum? Consider the Multiple Intelligence's of the child that may
be developed and strengthened while the child undergoes the experiences provided in the
curriculum.

In simple terms, this text is asking how different subjects in a child's school curriculum can
affect their growth and development. It also mentions the concept of Multiple Intelligences,
which are different ways that people can be smart, like being good at music or math.

For example, if a child is learning about art in school, it may help develop their creativity
and visual-spatial intelligence. Or if they are studying math, it could strengthen their logical-
mathematical intelligence.

Rules and regulations are formulated for the smooth functioning of an organization. Some of
the first things student teachers have to be oriented with, as soon as possible, are the rules and
regulations of the cooperating school. Violations of these will result to a great deal of confusion.

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9
 ACTIVITY NO. 12

12.1 Find out the rules and regulations governing the school on:

1) Conferences/meetings
2) Use of library/District Learning Resource Center
3) Recess and lunch breaks
4) Homeroom activities
5) Absences and tardiness
6) Reprimands/referrals for misbehavior
7) Grading and promotion of students/pupils
8) Admission and retention
9) Health and safety

These rules cover a variety of areas such as conferences and meetings, how the library or
Learning Resource Center can be used, when students have recess and lunch breaks, activities
that happen during homeroom, what happens if a student is absent or late to school, how
misbehavior is handled, how students are graded and promoted, the process for admitting new
students and deciding if a student should be held back a grade, and the health and safety policies
at the school.

For example, the rules about recess and lunch breaks might include guidelines on where
students can go during those times and how long they have for each break. The rules about
grading and promotion could outline what criteria students need to meet in order to move on to
the next grade level.

Overall, these rules are important for maintaining order and ensuring that students have a
safe and productive learning environment.

 ACTIVITY NO. 13

PARTICIPATION IN CO-CURRICULAR
AND EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

13.1 Interview several students/pupils on all activities in school they were engaged in since
the start of classes (i.e. June) up to this date. Indicate the dates/months when the activities
were done. Include school activities done in the school community/outside the school
campus. Determine whether the activity is co-curricular or extra-curricular.

On May 9-10, 2024,Princess Joy Literal of FBS NC II performs Ice Coffee making during
the TESDA Caravan in Zamboanga City. This is a Co-Curricular activity and is part of the
training to conduct Community-Based Programs with the guidance of the Trainer.

13.2 Solicit students'/pupils' remarks on participation in co-curricular activities.

As it is co-curricular activities, it has given an individual an opportunity to enhance their

skills and community involvement to different places as scheduled.

13.3 Suggest a co-curricular activity that would attract the participation of most
students/pupils.

A co-curricular activity that would likely attract the participation of most students is a
school-wide talent show. Talent shows allow students to showcase their skills and creativity in a
fun and supportive environment. They often draw a large audience and create a sense of
community within the school. Additionally, talent shows can help boost confidence and self-
esteem in students who participate, and allow them to discover and develop their talents outside
of the traditional classroom setting.

13.4 If you were the teacher, what would be your strategy in implementing this activity?

In implementing a school-wide talent show as a teacher, my strategy would involve several

steps. Firstly, I would begin by announcing the talent show well in advance to give students time
to prepare and sign up to participate. I would create clear guidelines and criteria for
performances to ensure they are appropriate for a school setting. I would also work with other
teachers and staff to organize logistics such as scheduling, sound equipment, and stage set-up.

I would provide support and encouragement to students who want to participate, offering
guidance and help with rehearsal if needed. I would also involve students in the planning
process, allowing them to have a say in aspects such as the theme, judging criteria, and prizes.

On the day of the talent show, I would ensure that everything runs smoothly, acting as an emcee
if necessary, and remaining supportive and positive throughout the event. After the talent show, I
would provide feedback and recognition to all participants, highlighting their strengths and
efforts. Overall, my goal would be to create a fun and inclusive experience that brings the school
community together.

13.5 How would you justify the credit to be learned by the students/pupils who would
participate in the activity?

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9
 Participating in a school-wide talent show can provide numerous learning opportunities for
students. Firstly, students can develop their confidence and public speaking skills by performing
in front of an audience. This can help them to overcome stage fright and become more
comfortable expressing themselves.

Secondly, participating in a talent show allows students to showcase their talents and
interests outside of the traditional academic setting. This can help them discover new passions
and cultivate their creative abilities.

Furthermore, students can learn important teamwork and collaboration skills if they choose
to perform in groups or with a partner. This can help them to communicate effectively,
compromise, and work towards a common goal.

Overall, participating in a school-wide talent show can offer students a chance to grow and
learn in a supportive and encouraging environment, making it a valuable experience worthy of
credit.

13.6 What percentage weight credit, for each subject area, would you give to participants
in the activity?

As an AI, I do not have the authority to assign credit percentages for specific subject areas.
However, participating in a school-wide talent show could potentially be recognized or
integrated into various subject areas such as performing arts, public speaking, teamwork,
creativity, and self-expression. The specific weight of credit assigned to each subject area would
depend on the school's curriculum and policies.

13.7 As a teacher, would you be willing to spend long hours with your students/pupils in
undertaking various activities? What good do you think it would do to you and your
students/ pupils? Make an honest appraisal of yourself.

As a teacher, I would be willing to spend long hours with my students undertaking various
activities if I believe it would benefit their learning and personal growth. Spending extra time
with students can create a stronger bond between teacher and student, leading to better
communication and understanding. It can also give me the opportunity to provide individualized
support and guidance to students who may need extra help.

Personally, spending extra time with students can be rewarding as it allows me to see their
progress and development first-hand. It can also help me better understand their strengths and
challenges, enabling me to tailor my teaching methods to meet their needs more effectively.

Overall, I believe that spending long hours with students in undertaking various activities can
lead to a more positive and engaging learning environment, benefiting both the students and
myself as a teacher.
