Key Topic 1: The DepEd Management Structure

Required Task 1: Policy Reading

1. Why is there a need to rationalize and restructure the Department of Education?

Answer: Restructuring the Department of Education was required to implement our strategic plan for progress in every
school, particularly in light of the changing needs and demands of our society. Similarly, on this day of pandemic, the
department of education must redesign the system to deal with the current situation.

2. In what ways can the restructured DepEd, through the Rationalization Program, help you as a DepEd personnel and a
public-school teacher?

Answer: It will act as a guide for teachers in adopting teaching norms and standards as well as processes to meet the
present demands on the educational system. It will also give all teachers an understanding of how to use tactics to make
their work easier and more productive.

Key Topic 5: School-based Management (SBM)


Required Task 2: Scenario Analysis To foster harmonious relationships with the wider school community, it is important
to involve learners, parents, and other stakeholders in identifying and resolving issues and concerns in the school
community. Discuss how you can help in each scenario and involve some key personnel who can help you resolve the
following challenges.

Scenario 1 Teacher Lozano, the mother of one of your advisory students, visited you in the school because of a bullying
incident that you are not aware of. She was very angry and disappointed about what happened because the incident
was not addressed and resolved properly. Her daughter is still afraid and decided not to go to school that day. The
incident happened during science time because the teacher was late to enter the class. You also had other classes to
attend to and had no chance to meet your advisory class during that time. Who should you seek help to?
Answer: To avoid such bullying among the students, she needed to first approach the science teacher and request if she
was able to attend the class on time. On the other hand, she needed to seek assistance from the guidance councilor to
provide adequate procedures for disciplining the concerned students. She should also notify the bully student's parents
or guardians so that they can discipline their child.

Scenario 2 Teacher Mary Ann, a fellow teacher whom you consider a friend, messaged you on Facebook and told you
that she will be absent tomorrow. She asked you to substitute all her five classes. Without letting you respond, she
already sent you the learning materials for her lessons tomorrow. However, you also have classes to attend and your
learners are expecting to deliver a performance task that they prepared for. What are you going to do as a colleague and
who should you direct her to?
Answer: As a fellow teacher and a friend, I must accept Teacher Mary Ann's request for assistance in determining if her
cause was an emergency or an urgent matter. First, I will counsel my buddy and tell her that our students are our
responsibility, and I will encourage her to avoid being absent, especially when there are many tasks to complete. Then
I'll enlist the services of the floating instructors, who are in charge of handling such tasks when regular teachers weren’t
able to attend the class. In addition, I will endorse the teaching resources that my friend gave to me in order to make her
teaching and handling the class easier and more effective.

Scenario 3 Lito, the class president of your advisory class, was elected as the president of the Supreme Student
Government (SSG). After three months, his subject teachers are having trouble with his class standing because of his
frequent absences and non-submission of required written and performance tasks. Lito is getting overwhelmed with the
various school activities he manages. What are you going to do as the adviser?
Answer: I will conduct a make-up class for the concerned students who are affected by the school activities so that they
can cope with the lesson and complete the needed written works and performance task.
