POS 112: The Teacher and Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership
A. Introduction
Teachers play a vital role in nation-building because the future is totally in their
hands. A nation is built by its citizens, citizens are molded by teachers, and teachers are
made by teacher educators. Teachers help shape the community and can direct
students in positive directions that they may not have pursued otherwise. Thus, the role of
the teacher in a positive school-community relationship is extremely important since it is
the teacher who is the backbone of the educational system.
This course focuses on society as a context upon which the schools have been
established. Educational philosophies that are related to the society as a foundation of
schools and schooling shall be emphasized. Further, principles and theories on school
culture, social, and organizational leadership shall be included to prepare prospective
teachers to become school leaders and managers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
TEACHING-LEARNING FORMAT
This learning module applies the 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model which is
based upon cognitive psychology, constructivist theory to learning, and best practices
in STEM instruction (Bybee and Landes 1990). The 5E learning cycle leads students
through five phases: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate.
Overview:
Under a so-called “trifocalization” approach of education in the Philippines, the
Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) comprise the
government's education bureaucracy. Trifocalized Education and Training refers to the
three levels of Philippine education system: basic education, technical-vocational
education and training, and higher education. The trifocal education system refocused
the previously known Department of Education Culture and Sports (DECS) mandate to
basic education which covers elementary, secondary and nonformal education,
including culture and sports, after which, the education department had subsequently
been renamed into Department of Education (DepEd). TESDA now administers the post-
secondary, middle-level manpower training and development while CHED is responsible
for higher education.

Prior to 1994, the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) had the sole
responsibility for policy formulation, planning, budgeting, program implementation and
coordination in all levels of formal and nonformal education in the Philippines. It also
supervised all education institutions in both the public and the private sectors. During the
Aquino administration, Congress created an Education Committee (EDCOM) which
recommended the “trifocalization” of the organizational structure in the education
sector. Under this policy which took effect in 1994/1995, oversight for the education sector
is now provided by three distinct bodies: the DECS for basic education; the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for technical and vocational
education and training; and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for higher
education. (Read more @ http://dirp3.pids.gov.ph/ris/pdf/pidspn0020.PDF)

Overview:
This module presents the vital role of the Teacher in the education process and in
the maintenance and development of society. In one perspective, teachers are
arguably the most important members of our society. They give children purpose, set
them up for success as citizens of our world, and inspire in them a drive to do well and
succeed in life. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and teachers are that
critical point that makes a child ready for their future.
Lastly, we will examine why the teacher is the heart of the education process. They
are the frontline workers in schools, colleges and universities. So why are teachers
important? Teachers truly are the backbone of society. They are role models to children,
offer guidance and dedication and give young people the power of education.
Because of teachers, countries are able to further develop socially and economically.
Next time you or your community achieve something great, take a moment to think of
and be grateful for the teachers who made it possible.

Overview:
Schools play an important role in the development of individuals and societies.
Schools are vital sources of knowledge and innovations, they are contributors to
economic development, they are agents of social and cultural development, and they
are warehouses of information. Schools also develop the manpower needs of the society,
developing the necessary skills, values, and knowledge needed in everyday life
particularly in the industry. Furthermore, schools are national and regional symbols serving
as repository of the people’s history and culture. In a nutshell, a school is a dynamic social
organization that develops every learner for various social roles. It is influenced by a
system anchored on a philosophy, mission, and vision (Pawilen G., et al, 2019).
In the same vein, schools have always been seen as a purpose-driven institution.
It exists for a reason, and it is fundamentally optimistic to pursue progress and
development. With such optimism, schools embrace numerous and varied roles in the
society. This is evident in all countries, which believe in the four accepted functions of
schools (Tamayao, 2013). These universal functions of schools will be discussed in this
module.

Overview:
Every society has a culture, no matter how simple the culture may be, and every
human being is cultured, in the sense of participating in some culture or other. Every
organization too, manifest their own set of organizational culture as these are driven by
the organization’s vision, mission and goals. The school is such one kind of an
organization.
This part of the module highlights the role of the school as a cultural institution.
Every school is unique in their own way and their uniqueness commonly originates on how
they impose different cultures inside and outside their school premises. Culture is the
distinctive identity of a school from the other schools. But some school cultures are
common across schools and some are unique and embedded in a particular school’s
history and location (Pawilen G., et al, 2019).
School culture plays a vital role in the success of every academic institution. The
students, staff, teachers, school administrators, and other stakeholders should unite in
promoting positive school culture. If one from the stakeholders will not cooperate, the
entire system will be affected.

Overview:
The Institute for Educational Leadership (2001) provided a broad and progressive
definition on teacher leadership. It suggested that teacher leadership is not necessarily
about power, but about teachers extending their presence beyond the classroom by
seeking additional challenges and growth opportunities. Teachers have long been
accustomed to working in isolation within the boundaries of their own classrooms. Going
beyond the classroom by providing input at meetings, sharing best practices, working
with the community, working with university faculty, and mentoring teacher candidates
are examples of additional challenges that can foster the development of leadership.
This chapter in the module focuses on the role of the teacher as a leader in
educational reforms. In the context of the recent reforms in the Philippine educational
system, it brings to light the importance of the role of teachers in ensuring that initiatives
to improve the teaching-learning process are implemented efficiently and effectively.
In order for these reforms to take place, it is necessary to have teachers who will
support these initiatives. Thus, the need for teacher leaders. Teachers play a vital role in
ensuring the success of the implementation of the educational reforms in the country for
the following reasons. First, teachers are in close coordination with the students. They
regularly interact with the students and in the performance of their functions as teachers,
they know firsthand how the reforms impact their students. Two, since teachers are the
ones who implement the reforms in the classroom, they are aware of how these new
initiatives directly influence or affect the way they teach. Last, teachers are also in direct
communication with various stakeholders. They are in close contact with colleagues,
parents and the community. As such, the relationship with these significant groups allows
them to see how the new initiatives in education affect the various stakeholders (Pawilen,
G. et al, 2019).
