 5. DepEd 40 s. 2012 Child Protection Policy

Policy and Guidelines on Protecting Children in School from Abuse,

Violence, Exploitation, Discrimination, Bullying and Other

Statement of Policy
Pursuant to the 1987 Constitution, the State shall defend the right
of children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special
protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and
other conditions prejudicial to their development (Article XV, Section 3
[2]).

The Constitution further provides that all educational institutions

shall inculcate patriotism and nationalism, foster love of humanity,
respect for human rights, appreciation of the role of national heroes in
the historical development of the country, teach the rights and duties of
citizenship, strengthen ethical and spiritual values, develop moral
character and personal discipline, encourage critical and creative
thinking, broaden scientific and technological knowledge, and promote
vocational efficiency. (Article XIV, Section 3 [2]).

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) aims to protect

children from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury and abuse,
neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment and exploitation, including
sexual abuse. The same Convention establishes the right of the child to
education, and with a view to achieving this right progressively, and on
the basis of equal opportunity, it obliges the government to take
measures to encourage regular attendance in school and reduce dropout
rates. Thus, it is mandated that all appropriate measures be undertaken
to ensure that school discipline is administered in a manner consistent
with the child's human dignity, and in conformity with the
CRC.

 My Artifacts
Teaching internship gives me the opportunities to apply what I have
learned in actual classroom practice. With this, it helps me to improve my
teaching skills to be an effective and efficient teacher in the near future.
These experiences will give me strength in my chosen profession that
being an educator is one of the keys to alleviate success of every learner.

Teaching internship gives me the chance to work under a second

teacher who shall serve as my mentor. That guides me how teacher work
inside the classroom; what are the do’s and don’ts; my class schedule;
provides me the copies of textbooks and other academic related materials.
Through my cooperating teacher, I am now familiar with the policy and
philosophy of the school; student and school demographics; school and
community resources available; and areas of concern to the school and
community.

Performance Task 1:
I need to undergo teaching internship because it will strengthen my foundation in
facilitating teaching well. This obliged me to be responsible and be mindful in
every decision I made. In this sense, as a student teacher, I assume more
responsibility that will be given of my cooperating teacher for her to observes
effectiveness in teaching.

Performance Task 2:
Among the 4 phases of internship,which seems difficult? Why?

For me, the hardest phase of teaching is the on-site tasks (third phase). Since I
am new in the field of teaching and just practicing on what are the things that
teachers do in school, I am quite confused on the process and procedures of
being a teacher. This phase includes writing learning plans that is now familiar
for me; creating IM’s constructing assignments that students expect to you to
facilitate.

Performance Tasks 3:
With the existing Laws in the Teaching Profession, give your insights focused on
how you will apply these in your profession.

Education laws is the area of law that applies to schools, teachers, and students.
As a future educator, it is important to me to be knowledgeable on the existing
laws in the teaching profession and how this affects the teaching and learning
process. Laws in the teaching profession gives limitations to both teachers and
students to avoid instances that may violate the rights of two parties.
Understanding these laws may help me to know what are the things that a
