Classroom Observation Tool (COT), as analyzed from the
consolidated Individual Performance Commitment and

Teachers I and II of the secondary level. In the said data
of the division, the objectives that have the lowest score
of highly proficient teachers are as follows:

This should be the focus of the teaching-learning force to achieve
maximum learning of every learner in the classroom. Teachers are advised
to learn about the culture of the indigenous learners and come up with
culture-sensitive lessons that will be suitable for the cultural diversity of the
learners.

Furthermore, the objectives that have been the most recurring lowest
scores that should be prioritized by all school leaders are the following:

1. Objective 10: Developed and applied teaching strategies to address

teaching strategies that are responsive to learners with disabilities,
giftedness, and talents;

Mrs. Ragas is very optimistic that these objectives will be achieved

outstandingly.

Misbehavior. The discussion began by understanding specific communication
strategies. Suggesting that it is very important to understand the underlying causes of
student misbehavior.

Lack of attention or engagement in the lesson

Peer pressure or social dynamics
Emotional or behavioral problems
Family or personal issues

Understanding the cause of misbehavior can help educators develop targeted

communication strategies to address the root of the problem.
Positive reinforcement is a communication strategy that involves praising and
awarding positive behavior. According to a study by Scott and Barrett (2021) positive
reinforcement can be an effective way to motivate students to behave appropriately.
Educators can use positive reinforcement by:
Praising students for good behavior
Giving students tangible rewards, such as stickers or small prizes
Celebrating individual or class achievements

Active listening is a communication strategy that involves actively engaging with

students and paying attention to their concerns. According to a study by Sthulman
and Pianta (2019), active listening can help educators build positive relationships with
students and prevent misbehavior. Educators can use active listening by:
Encouraging students to share their thoughts and concerns.
Paraphrasing and summarizing what students say to demonstrate
understanding.
Responding empathetically to student concerns.
 D4
Collaborative problem-solving is a communication strategy that involves working with
students to find solutions to problems.
Counseling and Referral – Protocol – guidance helps to come up with solutions and
enforce sanctions per school policy. Provide necessary counselling and referral if
needed.
Counseling – must be voluntary. Learners shall not be forced to undergo counselling
against their will.

It must be provided after a referral was made by a teacher , student, any school
personnel , a parent or other significant person who may be related to the child being
referred to.

that cares for one another, creating a supportive and nurturing educational
environment.

Participating in gift-giving activities, the ESP department named the program

ESPecially for you, a Christmas Gift giving especially during the holiday season,
provides an opportunity for students to learn about empathy and social responsibility.
It helps instill values of compassion and generosity, teaching students the importance
of giving back to others.

DAY 5
January 30, 2024

It’s the last day! As Manuel Luis Quezon High School, successfully completed its 5th day on
January 30, 2024.It marks the final day of the In-Service Training (INSET) with the theme
"Assessing Educational Program Implementation: Unveiling Educational Area
Achievements and Areas for Growth in School Progress”. It was occurred in Paradise
Campsite Resort in Bulacan. A registration was established from 7:30-8am which was
monitored by Mrs. Airey Pey Lumontad, an ESP teacher & Ms. Euphrosyn Egaǹa, from
MAPEH Department.
Everyone was eager to start the day with fun & happiness which was evident in their faces
as they attended the said INSET. To set the body & mind of the teachers to the designed
activities which they be engaging as the session proceeded, Zumba was led by MAPEH
teachers & as well as Mr. Allan Rodriguez from Mathematics who throw in some dance
moves which added more flavors to the Zumba. After that, a short break was given to
teachers.
To finally start the day’s session teachers were asked to move to the next venue for the
initiation of the activity. Right then, it was started by a prayer which was led by Mrs. Maria
Gracia Osma. Mr. John Mark Morato, MAPEH teacher introduced the speaker, none other
than Pastora Geraldine “Jane” M.Tayo from Torch bearer Phis. She is together with her them
to enlighten the teachers with the spiritual connection with God.
 D5
As the session proceeds, Ma’am Len & Ma’am Sheila, part of Torch bearer Phis.
organize a spiritual activity involving “Samson, Delilah & Lion”. It will make the
teachers think who they will pick between the three. They must come up with the
character which stand among the three in terms of their strength. Each Department
has specific department to compete with. English & AP department settled as the last
competitors. AP Departement was announced as the winner.It was made possible
with the leadership of Mr. Gilbert Gudes. Sir Jeck then explained the value of the
activity by emphasizing “Proper communication is required with collective effort to
win; everyone must be involved, and it will produce enjoyment in what they are
doing”. It talked about working as a team, working as ONE.

As he continues interpreting the said activity, he also added that we should maintain
the harmonious relationship not only in our colleagues but also in our family. For us to
be effective in our duty as an educator, as many learners depends on us. We should
continue encourage, empowered & appreciate one another. Another point of view was
explicated, he connected Samson,Deliliah & the lion to each and everyone. The three
has unique gift given by God, but sometimes take for granted. Just like humans,
forgot the gift which we have. He remined that we should be thankful to God, for he is
the reason of everything.
He ended is talk by giving is a reminder that “We should place our slippers under our
bed, so that each morning we wake up, when we look for our slippers, that’s the time
we kneel & talk to God” - Denzel Washington- Do not cut the communication with
God. God is unlimited, God is there when no one does. All we need to do is knock, talk
to him & he will listen.

Moreover, another activity was made in the name of “Picture Perfect” led by Ma’am
MC. The task of the participants is to imitate what they had seen on the picture. The
MAPEH Department won in this activity. Their creativity & resourcefulness was
showcased. Pastora Geraldine “Jane” M.Tayo, exemplify the value of togetherness.
Present not only to our colleagues, family, relatives & others but most especially to
God. She also added that we must practice the love language among our loved ones.
To strengthen our relationship. Evaluating yourself is a good vehicle to check if you are
expreciencing anxiety, depression & others because if we give up what will happen to
learners.

As Pastora emphasizes “We cannot give, what we don’t have”, so as educators we

must equipped ourselves holistically. Overall, the AM session equipped us with
learnings about the value of teamwork that we should apply in our institution but
most especially the session connects & bind us with our relationship to Almighty God.
The morning session was ended offered by a prayer by Pastora Jane as well as the
awarding of certificate the members to the staff & members of Torch Bearer Phils. The
afternoon session was the leisure time given to teachers to have some relaxing
moment & engage themselves in swimming.
