My Analysis
1. How important is the schools vision, mission and goals in designing the
curriculum?
It is important in designing the curriculum because it will serve as trademark
of the school. These are what the school needs to accomplish. They have vision,
mission and goals so that the school will be able to maintain their objectives and
standards in school.
2. What methods and strategies were employed by the school community to realize
these goals?
The methods and strategies were employed is through activities that suited
to the vision, mission and goals of the school. The school community does their best
just to make sure that the curriculum of their school should be effective to the
students. And to achieve this, they will serve first as the model to the students.
They are the one who will first apply the vision, mission and goals of the school in
their day-to-day lives.
3. How did the students manifest that they have internalized their vision, mission
and goals?
Through engaging themselves in the different activities that the school has
implemented. If they follow the rules and regulations of the school that even though
they are outside of the school, or they are already graduated, still they did not
forget the vision, mission and goals that they previous school had. And if the
students still apply these thing in real-life situation, not only inside the classroom or
campus.
My Reflections/ My Insights
The school should have its vision, mission and goals
so that the students have a rule to be followed. This helps
the students to be morally upright. In this institution, there
are lots of things that Ive learned. This is the type of school
that has a quality of education. As a student, there are lots
of Dos and Donts to be followed. And this made me
become a better person.

My Analysis
1. Explain why teaching and learning give life and meaning to the curriculum.
Teaching and learning give life and meaning to the curriculum because this is
the process wherein the teacher and the students interact with each other
interchangeably or vice versa. If there is an effective teaching-learning process, its
really a big help to the curriculum. Its a big honor because each complements and
supplements each other. The value placed in teaching will reap the same value in
learning. Thus, a good curriculum can be judged by the kind if teaching and the
quality of learning derived from it.
2. Discuss why the deluge of information poses a great challenge to both teaching
and learning.

Vertical repetition and recurring approaches of the

content provide continuity.
For example in English, the topic is part of speech. So, to discuss all the parts
of speech, you should organize fist the first part of speech to be discussed.
Example, here are the sequence, discuss first the noun, followed by pronoun, next is
verb, followed by adjective and so forth.
My Analysis
1. Why is there a need to articulate the lessons from grade school to high school?
There is a need to articulate the lessons from grade school to high school that
there is a connection between the lower level and the next level. So that if the
students are entering high school, they will not be surprised because the lessons s
still related when they are in elementary. As a teacher, you should discuss the
lesson from step by step, the lesson should be organized. The teacher must not
jump into another topic without finishing the previous one.
My Reflections/ My Insights
As a teacher, I need to understand fully well the
dimensions of curriculum design because

My Tools
Interview a teacher in the school you visited and inquire how they have utilized their
parents as school partners in education.
I interviewed Mrs. Lea Gabad a teacher from
Matnog National High School which I conducted an
actual examination in her class as part of our
requirements in Assessment of Learning 1 under Mr.
Ruel Frago. According to her, parents are really
important as one of the partners of the school in
education because parents play a big part in
education. At the beginning of the school year, during
the Brigada Eskwela, parents are the person invited to
help the school by means of cleaning in the entire
school. All of the parents are helping each other for the
good of the school and for the good of their children.
They want to help the school because this is the
second home of their children having teachers as a
second parents.
My Analysis
1. As a future teacher, I need to know and understand the six (6) features of the
curriculum because...
These are really important for me to become an
effective and efficient teacher someday. For me, to be
able to know the things I should do for the good of my
students, and to my curriculum as well.
My Reflections/ My Insights
Be a well-developed teacher!
