political change in his school and the community within the context of national policies. Are
these teachers’ obligations exactly the same as the seven domains of the PPST? Share your
answer.

LOOKING AHEAD

It is a professional obligation of Filipino teachers to contribute to the formation 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.” (DepEd vision). It is also
a professional obligation of teachers to help DepEd in its mission, “to protect and promote the
right of every Filipino 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…

If the future teacher is prepared in accordance with the 4 models of teacher effectiveness and
in accordance with the domains of the PPST, will he/she able to cope with the demands of
DepEd’s vision and mission statements?
