ASSESSMENT TASK

1. Discuss your own understanding of your school’s vision, mission, and core values.
 Every school have vision, mission and core values that need to do and fulfill. These are all very
important, those are included in the very first step in curriculum development and those are the
target outcomes of the curriculum. The Pangasinan State University's mission, vision and core
values simply means that giving motivation and support to every mankind, students will be
acknowledge, serve as the guiding principle of an educational institution. It adheres to the
educational philosophy that education is geared towards better citizenship and livelihood and the

about practicing students every day in a way that they should learn something about the lesson. So
at the end of the day, we will achieve our mission, vision, and core values that will reflect the
school's efforts to reconcile.

REFLECTION
Self-Reflect

In not less than 10 sentences. Discuss how relevant are your school’s vision, mission, and core values to
the needs of the learners and the demands of the society?

Developing the school’s vision, mission and core values are the three most important steps towards
creating a successful program and important part in curriculum development. These three give clarity and
direction of a school. It can help lead to continuing conflicts and a school that has difficulty identifying priorities.
The main goal is to achieve those after the very tiring and meaningful journey. If we can achieve and do what we
have to do and what our mission, vision, and core values stated, it means that we met the demands of the society.
We acquired the needed skills and competence. Schools need to make sure the school community understands
and is committed to the statement. The words in a statement are meaningless without sincere efforts by school
leaders, teachers, school staff, and policy makers to put those words into actions. The university informs us
different information in terms of academic purposes and understanding of the statement that can also help staff
members prioritize their time and energy in ways that align with the values of the school. Our school secures the
different needs of the students, academically, financially and it also motivates every students using different
contest to become more efficient and competitive in every situation. Giving motivational task can enhance our
skills. Through the years, our education is the way and the key and the fulfillment of our dreams especially in our
goals that molds in every chapter of the school year. We always did our best to be the future educator someday.
