Teacher Johanna should think first of the subjects where she can integrate and achieve her
lesson objective, say for example she integrates it in AP and ESP then she can use it as a
group task or individual task to her pupils wherein they demonstrate practicing act of kindness.
Teacher Helga should provide activities in science that promotes child-friendly, gender-
sensitive, safe, and motivating environment in her class by preparing a lesson plan a head of

Scenario 1:
Teacher Luis is a Grade 10 guidance counselor and a Values Education teacher at Arellano
High School. One of his classes has a diverse religious background. One day, two of the
learners insisted that the class should start with a prayer led by an assigned student. This
leads to a heated debate arguing about their own religious and spiritual beliefs. How can
Teacher Luis mediate and help resolve the argument? (You may refer to Department Order
(No. 32, s. 2013) and Department Order (69, s. 1990)).
Teacher Luis should explain to all his pupils that students with different religious beliefs should
not force to participate to any religious activity that is not allowed on their religion. They should
learn to respect the religion of other people to avoid discrimination in the class. That’s why if
one of their classmates does not join or lead the prayer in their class, they should respect their
decision.
Scenario 2:
The DepEd Core Values teaches us the love for God (maka-Diyos), love for fellow men (maka-
tao), love for nature (makakalikasan), and love for country (makabansa). Teacher Molina
inspires his Grade 2 learners to become a better version of themselves through exemplifying
qualities and characters of our national heroes. What classroom management strategies can
Teacher Molina employ to encourage learners to apply the DepEd core values in real life
situations?
To teach the DEpEd core values to Grade 2 pupils, Teacher Molina can use it as an activity
wherein she can assign her class per group to act as one of the national heroes and portray
the good values that they have, through this pupil can internalized the good values in real life
situations.

1. In what ways has this module helped you reflect on the Vision, Mission, Core Values, and
Strategic Directions of the Department of Education?
Through this module I now understand that term “teacher” is a very broad definition.
That his/her role does not end in the four walls of the classroom. Teacher is one of the
important people who mold and shape the minds of the pupils. Because of this module,
I realized that I cannot provide the quality education to my pupils if I did not seek to
continue my professional development.
2. How has this module helped you clarify your vision and motivations in serving your learners
better and in promoting a learner-centered environment for them?
This module serves as my wake-up call to continue my dream to change the lives of
my pupils as my top priority despite of the challenges I encountered as a new teacher.
This serves as my guide to be a competent teacher and provide learner centered
environment that focus on the welfare of my pupils
3. What are your personal beliefs and values that are aligned with the DepEd’s VMV (Vision,
Mission, Core Values)?
My personal beliefs that are aligned with the DepEd Vision, Mission and Core Values is
that “We should not judge a book by it’s cover”, because I realized that as a teacher, I
should not judge my pupils by just looking at them or by their mistakes they created
because, the intelligence of a child is not measured by it. I should give equal opportunities
to all my pupils when it comes to learning regardless of their attitudes or behaviors. And as
a teacher, it is my duty to change the lives of my pupils one at a time.
It is necessary for newly hired teachers to become familiar with the Department of
Education's year-round activities because it will allow us in prioritizing our goals to
strengthen our capability in teaching, training, and building our professional careers. As a
Department of Education teacher, it is important to mark the dates on your own calendar,
so that it gives you a heads up on how you plan your activities throughout the year.

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?
I will honestly tell her that I also have classes that I needed to attend. I will advise her to
message the school head that she can longer go to school, and she needed a teacher to
substitute for her so that the school head would be the one to decide whose teacher is available
to look for her class.
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?
I will explain to Lito that I understand his role as the President of the Supreme Student
Government., that he has lots of duties and responsibilities to full fill, but I will also remind him
that he should not just focused on this, he has still subjects that needs to prioritize. He should
learn to balance his duties as well as his academic subjects to avoid conflicts on her grades. I
will advise him to create his daily time plan so that he can full fill both his duties without
sacrificing his academic subjects.
Optional Task
Choose five (5) tips on how to connect with your learners and identify ways on how to apply
this to your class:
Tips to connect with your learners How to apply to your class
(Kotler, et. al. 1998)
1. Listen carefully without interrupting. Let the learners share their opinions and let
them feel that they are valued.
2. Find common ground By asking them simple questions like, “What
movies do you watch?”. This gives you
access to them in a new way removing the
walls in the classroom. This bridge can
provide access to their heart knowing that
someone cared for them.
3. Develop a Positive Classroom Incorporate morning meeting time into each
Environment day to connect with your students. Provide a
reward system and avoid giving negative
punishment instead focused on rewarding
positive behaviors.
4. Be consistent in your rules Set your rules and follow them. Don’t show
favoritism. This creates disrespect in your
classroom.
5. Care Care by showing acts of kindness, tapping
their shoulders, praising them and through
the tone of your voice when you speak to
them.
