In the 21st century, when it comes to the skills that a teacher should acquire, critical thinking,
problem solving, communication, cooperation, creativity, leadership are among the first-ranked
skills, while some concepts such as effective guidance, character development and professional
ethics come to the fore.
3. Cite the interrelationship of the teacher and the school curriculum.
Teacher-Curriculum Relationships
 These relationships involve teachers becoming more aware of their practices, their
student's learning, and the connection between their practices and their student's
learning. In other words, the teacher is trying to ensure fit between student
understanding and curriculum.
 The primary role of a teacher is to deliver classroom instruction that helps students
learn. To accomplish this, teachers must prepare effective lessons, grade student work
and offer feedback, manage classroom materials, productively navigate the curriculum,
and collaborate with other staff.
4. State the Principles and Philosophies of Education.
There are five philosophies of education that focus on teachers and students;
 Essentialism,
 Perennialism,
 Progressivism,
 Social Reconstructionism, and
 Existentialism.

Essentialism is what is used in today's classrooms and was helped by William Bagley in the
1930s.
5. React on the importance of the K to Basic Education Curriculum.
 K stands for kindergarten and 12 refers to the succeeding 12 years of basic education,
which is why it is called K to 12. ... Starting with Kindergarten as the foundation for
lifelong learning and development, the 12-year curriculum aims to give students the
journey in education that they deserve.
 The K to 12 program promotes global competency by accelerating mutual recognition of
Filipino graduates and professionals in other countries. The new curriculum allows
students to choose between three tracks which are the Academic, Technical-Vocational-
Livelihood, and the Sports and Arts strand.
