Group yourself into five (5) and answer the following questions.

1. Based on this lesson and by means of an acrostic, give qualities or specific

behaviors of good leaders. See example:

L –Lead Change, a good leader has the quality to think beyond what people expect and
always surpass their limits.

E –Encouraging innovation, a good leader gives their people the space to stretch their
creative wings. Leaders who encourage the art of “possibility” thinking and looking at
issues from different perspectives share how such practices have worked for them.

A –Accountable, a good leader, can communicate Making plans, setting expectations, and
following through on promises are all important. Good leaders maintain each other and
their teams accountable so that everything is on the same goal or pathway count on each
other to complete the task.

D –Determinated to Empower People an excellent leader have the quality to develop the
team to show their true self to achieve organizational goals.

R -Reward Achiever good leaders make a habit of calling out people who make
contributions to the organization, and they do it in both a timely and appropriate manner.
The leader can express through a tangible reward or a public acknowledgment. Either way,
it is a function of a leader who sets and shares specific expectations and shows what
happens when individuals meet them. Most importantly, the best leaders deliver what they
promise when that happens. Especially in this kind of generation

S - Show Empathy good leader has a quality to perceive and relate to the thoughts and

2. You are assigned as a school head in a low-performing school. Students are

poorly motivated, parents and community are not very cooperative, and
teacher has a low morale. As a leader, what should you do? Outline your
steps.
As a future educator, our group thinks that we should start inside the school, which we
create from the teacher because how are we going to uplift the morale of the parent and
student community if others don’t see it in your way.

Our group suggests that before planning an innovation as a Leader, one should look forward to
what will happen. It's better to have a plan A, B, and C or A-Z plan to encourage yourself and
your team to have many solutions in the program. And always remember that there are people
who are waiting for the outcome of your plan.

✓ First, identify why all that is happening, then plan for instant meeting with teachers, ask and
listen to them what we could do and what needs to change.

✓ The second thing contact and involved parents in the decision-making process in what ways
could we increase participation, find out what they feel.

✓Lastly, for unmotivated students, teachers must figure out reasons for motivation. To achieve
the steps, we need to Evaluate and conceptualize student's situations, teaching strategies to
make necessary adjustments.

3. You are introducing an innovation in school. Sociologically,

Filipinos are known for the "ningas-cogon" mentality. How does
this mentality affect school innovation? As a leader, how will you
counteract it?
Our group think its effect in terms of technology advancement because some schools
advertising that they are full equip in terms of technology and convenient facility, but after
a week the student recognize that the facility is not helpful for them especially for b rowsing
information and accessing to use the computer laboratory and they need to have permission
to able for them allowed to use the equipment that why they become lock of interest
because they feel bored or uninterested for the facility

Ningas-cogon also affects buying the related book or helpful book for the student. After all,
they set aside the importance of adopting the new learning materials because they think the
money cost to embrace the changes.

"ningas-cogon" affect the school innovation like renovating the school premises because the
school is starting to think about where should they get the funds that's why they are
encouraging students to participate in the activity they held like foundation day and also
raffles that's why the student buys the ticket to participate and grabs the chance to win in
the said activity.

As a result, some students transfer to other schools because they think that the money they
pay for the tuition fee is not correctly used to manage the excellent environment for the
student.

As a future educator, our group thinks that we can contradict the ningas-cogon mentality by
conceptualizing everyone's interest and need for long-term benefits. As leaders, we need to
have a vision of what things happen as time goes by because of the rapid changes in this
society.

Our group opens the insight of everyone's mind that "No matter what situation we encounter
in our life, always remember that being a leader is a great privilege and great responsibility that
we can share to change the world."
