EDUC 222 | The Teacher and the Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership
Explain the diagram below. (10 points)

The diagram shows a direct relationship between the school and the community. The
partnership between the two parties shows that there are ways in which the school can help the
community and that the community could also give back. Both the school and the community
fulfill a collective responsibility to one another; as teaches develops literacy, the community
should help build better school-atmospheres.

ELABORATE | Learning activity 5

Elucidate this statement (20 points): It takes a village to educate a child.
“It takes a village to educate a child” is an African proverb has been attributed to African

Through the members of the community, the child learns different concepts and the same time
acquires specs of principles from people s/he encounters.
EXTEND | Learning activity 7
Based on your experience, give ten (10) examples by which a community helps the school and
ways by which a school helps a community.
Community helps school
1. Stakeholders
Parents are primary members of the members of the school’s stakeholders.
2. Provides employees

maintenance workers to administrative staffs
3. Promotes children to go to school
As a group, it is the community’s collective responsibility to motivate the students
to go to school

Different places in the community like restaurants, mechanical shops, or nature
parks serve as learning avenues to the students during field trips or immersion
programs in the senior high school
5. Government aids
a. Sports sponsorship
Some personalities in the society may sponsor some sports events like the
intramurals, lending additional sports equipment and financial support in pageants
b. Information Education Campaign
Different sectors in the local government like in the Municipal Environment and
Natural Resources Office, Fire Department, Local DRRM Office, Municipal PNP
Office, etc., have the power to visit schools and conduct information drives where
they disseminate important information about their respective area of expertise
c. Medical assistance

supply to the students.

The school produces graduates that will be useful in the development of the
community
2. Increases local tourism
 Colleges like Southern Christian College build income-generating infrastructures
like resorts, the SCC Nature Farm, which attracts tourists from neighboring
municipalities. A school alone could stand as a tourism sport if it has a famous
structure like the Gabaldon Building in Midsayap Pilot Elementary School; or for
being the first of its kinds, like the Notre Dame of Midsayap College, the first
Notre Dame school in Asia.
3. Decreases unemployment
As a school expands, additional workers are needed, from the maintenance team
to its administrative staff. This way the number of unemployed may be reduced.

Schools can help in lowering crime rates because schools keep children busy from
doing unlawful things plus, they get educated about what actions in the
community are punishable

There is no other place where children are educated. Well, education also exists at
home, too.

activities such as reach-out programs which helps the community.

The school also trains children in different aspects. Students will have the chance
to mold their leadership skills though student government organizations and will
get involve in journalism through the student publication.
8. Promotes Sports
The school balances academic and sports intellect of the students. An annual
sporting event, the intramurals, help spark the students’ passion in sports and
ignite the spirit of sportsmanship
9. Improves technical skills
Technical skills are also molded in schools. Students are sorted in their preferred
specialized subject under Technical and Livelihood Education like welding,
electrical installation, carpentry, or computer systems servicing. Culinary and
dressmaking skills are developed, too.
