Session 1: The DepEd’s Mandate

Required Task 1: Reflection Questions

Reflect on the DepEd’s Mandate and respond to the questions below. You may respond in 2-5
sentences for each.

As a newly hired teacher in DepEd, what can you contribute to:eacher

a. promote quality education?

As a newly hired teacher in DepEd, I can contribute to the promotion of quality

education by becoming a quality teacher. I need and must familiarize myself with the
mandated policies, plans, and projects to ensure that I am abiding and promoting the
quality education that DepEd wanted to give. Being a quality teacher does not always
correspond to being in service for a long time. I, as a novice teacher, will make sure to
provide quality instructional material for my students. A quality instructional material that
can ensure meaningful learning for my students. If my students will be able to apply their
learning in their life and that learning will last throughout their lives, then I can say, “I have
contributed to the promotion of quality education”.

b. uphold equity in education?

As a newly hired teacher, I can uphold equity in education by promoting inclusivity.

Education must be accessible to all regardless of the differences in my students. As an
educator, I must lead by example to my learners. I will start by showing fairness to
everyone by providing equal opportunity for my students. My vision is to see my leaners
reciprocating that act outside the classroom by becoming someone who also values
fairness.

c. respond to the needs of the learners?

A classroom will never be a group of students who share the same attitude and
character or the same ability. I must be able to respond to their differences. I, as an
educator who values quality education, will ensure that in the teaching-learning process,
I’ll be able to provide differentiated activities that will cater to the different needs of my
diverse learners. In addition, I must also be able to listen to my students for me to know
what they need and what I must need to improve.

Key Topic 1: DepEd’s Vision

Vision
We dream of Filipinos
who passionately love their country
and whose values and competencies
enable them to realize their full potential
and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.
As a learner-centered public institution,
the Department of Education
continuously improves itself
 to better serve its stakeholders.
MODULE 1:
BECOMING A DEPED
TEACHER

Required Task 1: Application

Scenario 1:

Teacher Johanna is a Grade 7 teacher at Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial National High school.
She encourages her learners to demonstrate their love of country through practicing acts of
kindness inside and outside the school premises. Provide at least two ways of integrating this in
her lessons. You may respond in, 3-5 sentences.

Teacher Johanna can first, to think of the subject where she can integrate the learners’
love of our country through practicing acts of kindness and outside the school premises. For
example, she can integrate this when teaching Science subject in the topic about earthquake.
Second, she can add in her lesson the ways on how they can help and show kindness to the
victim of the said natural calamity. It is like hitting two birds with one stone. Her lesson was
achieved and at the same time she had integrated the value of showing kindness.

Scenario 2:

One of the Grade 9 advisory students of Teacher Andrew is showing interest in joining scouting.
However, the student is very shy and timid. In what ways can Teacher Andrew help his learners
to gain confidence and participate in scouting? You may respond in 3-5 sentences.

Teacher Andrew can talk to the students in private. A little encouragement will do. Let
the student know that he/she has someone who supported him/her and who trust his/her ability
might give him confidence to join the scouting.
 MODULE 1:
BECOMING A DEPED
TEACHER

Key Topic 2: DepEd’s Mission

Mission

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic
education where:

Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment.

Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner.

Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment
for effective learning to happen.

Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for
developing life-long learners.

Required Task 2: Application

Scenario 1:
Teacher Helga is a Grade 1 teacher at Biñan Elementary School. She is teaching Science. She
wants to make sure that she can provide a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating
environment in her class. What should she do to achieve this? You may respond in 3-5
sentences.

During every class discussion, teacher Helga will have an activity free from gender bias.
For example, in a group activity, students should not be grouped based on their gender or
grouped them based on different gender stereotypes (e.g., boys who are soft or who likes pink
should be with the group of women). In addition, in every activity, remind the students to be
respectful to make the classroom a safe space. A safe environment is a motivating environment.
 MODULE 1:
BECOMING A DEPED
TEACHER

Key Topic 3: The DepEd Core Values

In promoting “One DepEd,” the official DepEd core values adapted the national motto as stated
in the Republic Act No. 8491 (otherwise known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the
Philippines). The core values are enumerated as such:

Maka-Diyos
Maka-tao
Makakalikasan
Makabansa

Required Task 3: Application

Scenario 1:

Teacher Luis is a Grade 10 guidance counselor and a Values Education teacher at Arellano High
School. One of his classes has a diverse religious background. One day, two of the learners
insisted that the class should start with a prayer led by an assigned student. This leads to a
heated debate arguing about their own religious and spiritual beliefs. How can Teacher Luis
mediate and help resolve the argument? (You may refer to Department Order (No. 32, s. 2013)
and Department Order (69, s. 1990)).

Teacher Luis should let the students know that citizens have the freedom of religion. He
will also help the students to understand the importance of respecting the difference in spiritual
belief. To address the concern, maybe no students should lead the prayer and instead everyone
will pray together silently practicing their own religious beliefs.
 MODULE 1:
BECOMING A DEPED
TEACHER
Scenario 2:

The DepEd Core Values teaches us the love for God (maka-Diyos), love for fellow men (maka-
tao), love for nature (makakalikasan), and love for country (makabansa). Teacher Molina
inspires his Grade 2 learners to become a better version of themselves through exemplifying
qualities and characters of our national heroes. What classroom management strategies can
Teacher Molina employ to encourage learners to apply the DepEd core values in real life
situations?

To teach the DepEd core values to Grade 2 pupils, teacher Molina can use the stories of
our heroes. First, she will ask them who is/are their favorite hero then proceed to their qualities
that made them like him/her. She can present videos and pictures, which summarize the life, the
qualities, and character of a certain hero. She will remind her students that they can be heroes
too by possessing or by just simply imitating the qualities of their favorite hero.

Key Topic 2: School-based Management (SBM)

Required Task 2: Scenario Analysis

To foster harmonious relationships with the wider school community, it is important

to involve learners, parents, and other stakeholders in identifying and resolving issues
and concerns in the school community. Discuss how you can help in each scenario and
involve some key personnel who can help you resolve the following challenges.

Scenario 1

Teacher Lozano, the mother of one of your advisory students, visited you in the school
because of a bullying incident that you are not aware of. She was very angry and
disappointed about what happened because the incident was not addressed and
resolved properly. Her daughter is still afraid and decided not to go to school that day.
The incident happened during science time because the teacher was late to enter the
class. You also had other classes to attend to and had no chance to meet your advisory
class during that time. Who should you seek help to?

In this case where I still have classes to attend, I would seek the help of the
school’s guidance counselor regarding the matter to identify what is the best way to
resolve the issue together with the parent and the students involved. I must be on my
class on time to avoid the same or worse problem. If the bullying continues, then it is the
time that I will seek the help of the school head.

MODULE 2:
GEARING UP FOR THE SCHOOL
YEAR
Scenario 2

Teacher Mary Ann, a fellow teacher whom you consider a friend, messaged you on
Facebook and told you that she will be absent tomorrow. She asked you to substitute all
her five classes. Without letting you respond, she already sent you the learning materials
for her lessons tomorrow. However, you also have classes to attend, and your learners
are expecting to deliver a performance task that they prepared for. What are you going to
do as a colleague and who should you direct her to?

I will reply to her message immediately telling her that I can’t be the substitute for
her five classes because I also have mine to attend. I will advise her to inform her
department head instead. Her department head knows what to do when a teacher from
her department is absent. If the department head is free, she/he can be the substitute
teacher. If the department head is not free, she/he can look at her/his teacher’s teaching
load if who are free during the class of Teacher Mary Ann and if it includes me, I’ll
substitute too.

Scenario 3

Lito, the class president of your advisory class, was elected as the president of the
Supreme Student Government (SSG). After three months, his subject teachers are
having trouble with his class standing because of his frequent absences and non-
submission of required written and performance tasks. Lito is getting overwhelmed with
the various school activities he manages. What are you going to do as the adviser?

I will talk to him in private. I will tell him that he is doing great as the president of
the Supreme Student Government however he still needs to do his responsibilities as a
student. I’ll give him some advice about time management.

teacher like me is considered as the second parent. As a parent who value their children,
I must be an instrument in promoting child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating
environment. Those roles are manifested in being a classroom adviser through
implementing and applying it inside the classroom. Performing his/her duties and
responsibilities wholeheartedly for the learners.
I became a class adviser for months. It was challenging yet very fulfilling since it
was during the peak of the pandemic. For two years, I only experienced a modular set-
up. I became a challenge for me on how to make the continuity of the learning possible
for my students. It is also a challenge for me on how I can establish a good relationship
with my students when face-to-face is impossible. However, these challenges were
addressed by home visitation and by keeping in touch with my students and their parents
through social media platforms like messenger.

Required Task 4: Reflection

The following are some ways that can help you create a motivating and conducive
environment. How are you going to illustrate these ways in your own classroom?
Limit your response to 100-150 words per question.

a. Hold and communicate high behavioral expectations for your learners and
yourself?
Teachers should set high behavioral expectations to his learners and to
himself. Having a high behavioral expectation doesn’t mean the teacher became too
strict to the extent where the students feel no freedom at all. Having a good
relationship with the students is very important because it will affect their motivation
in learning. Believing in what the students can do and they should always strive to
achieve their best. Teachers should be the model of high behavioral expectations
and teach the students about growth mindset, focusing on effort not excellent,
expressing unconditional positive regards, and setting achievable and realistic task.

b. Establish clear rules and procedures and instruct learners on how to follow them.
Give primary-level learners a great deal of instruction, practice, and reminding.
Classroom rules and procedures is important to have an organized
classroom. To establish clear rules and procedure for my learners, I will let them be
involved in making the rules and procedures for the classroom as well as the
consequences when they failed to follow the rules set by them. I will post it inside
the classroom for them to be constantly reminded about it.
