Schools can address issues of social jusLce and equity by acLvely promoLng anLbias educaLon
and culturally responsive teaching pracLces. They can provide professional development
opportuniLes for teachers and staff on topics such as unconscious bias and culturally responsive
pedagogy. Schools can also establish policies and procedures to address issues of discriminaLon
and bias and provide students with access to resources and support services. AddiLonally,
schools can engage in ongoing dialogue with students, families, and community members to
promote equity and inclusion.

SET 6. What lessons and teaching methodologies would you suggest in

improving the quality of teaching learning process?
The quality of the teaching-learning process can be improved through several innovaLve
strategies. Understanding that learning isn't one-size-fits-all and that lessons should connect to
real-life situaLons is key. Methodologies like the Flipped Classroom model, where instrucLonal
content is delivered outside class Lme, facilitate acLve learning. Project-Based Learning
encourages students to solve real-world problems, fostering skills like criLcal thinking. Blended
learning combines tradiLonal classroom methods with online media for personalized
instrucLon.
GamificaLon in educaLon can increase student moLvaLon by making learning interacLve. The
use of AI and AdapLve Learning Systems allows the teaching process to adjust to a learner's
specific needs. These methodologies and lessons aim to inspire a lifelong love for learning and
develop essenLal skills. By integraLng these strategies, we can revoluLonize the educaLonal
landscape and create more effecLve learning experiences.

SET 6.Some techers blame parents for being unable to help their children
in their studies especially when the parents did not earned a high degree in
college? Do you agree in this statement?
Why or why not? How would rally
parents assits in the academic life of their children.

The academic success of students is influenced by various factors, including parental

involvement and educaLon level. Though research indicates that parents with higher degrees
may help their children perform be]er academically, a]ribuLng academic struggles solely to

parents' educaLonal a]ainment is overly simplisLc. Various other factors such as socio-
economic status, school quality, and innate abiliLes also play significant roles. All parents,

irrespecLve of their degrees, can contribute to their children's academic success through
discipline, moLvaLon, and creaLng a conducive learning environment. Schools and teachers
must collaborate with parents, offering support where needed, to ensure equal opportuniLes
for
all students. We should not blame parents for academic difficulLes but focus on providing
resources and support. EducaLon is mulLfaceted, and parental educaLon is only one piece of a
complex puzzle. Regardless of their educaLonal background, all parents can significantly impact
their children's academic lives. Instead of assigning blame, efforts should be focused on
empowering parents and enhancing collaboraLon between them and schools. Inclusive and
comprehensive strategies are needed for an effecLve educaLonal system.
OBJECTIVES 9
Here are possible quesLons and answers related to parLcipaLng in professional networks to
share
knowledge and enhance pracLce:

SET 1. Why is it important to parHcipate in professional networks as a

teacher?
As a teacher, parLcipaLng in professional networks allows me to connect with other educators,
share knowledge, and learn about best pracLces in the field. It provides opportuniLes to
collaborate, receive feedback, and gain new perspecLves on teaching and learning.

SET 2. What types of professional networks can you parHcipate in as a

teacher?
There are many types of professional networks that teachers can parLcipate in, including online
communiLes, professional organizaLons, conferences, and workshops. These networks may be
focused on specific subject areas, grade levels, or pedagogical approaches.

SET 3. How can parHcipaHng in professional networks help enhance

teaching pracHce?
ParLcipaLng in professional networks can help me stay up-todate on the latest research and
trends in educaLon, gain new insights and perspecLves on teaching and learning, and learn
about
effecLve strategies and tools for instrucLon and assessment. It can also provide opportuniLes
for
collaboraLon and feedback, allowing me to reflect on my pracLce and make improvements.

insights, parLcipaLng in discussions and forums,and offering feedback and support to other
educators. I can also contribute by presenLng at conferences or workshops, publishing arLcles
or
blog posts, and engaging in research or other scholarly acLviLes.

SET 6.Have you parHcipated in school sports/journalism acHviHes? If yes,

how did these acHviHes help you in your studies? If no, why did you not
parHcipate?

Engaging in school sports and journalism acLviLes can greatly contribute to a student's
academic and personal growth. School sports insLll discipline, improve physical health, and
foster teamwork, which can enhance academic focus and efficiency. Meanwhile, journalism
acLviLes develop key skills like effecLve communicaLon, research, and criLcal thinking,
benefiLng academic pursuits. Despite these benefits, some students may not parLcipate due to
Lme constraints, prioriLzing academics, or lack of interest. Such acLviLes should be pursued
out
of genuine interest and personal capacity. ReflecLng on this, it is clear that these
extracurriculars provide holisLc development beyond immediate academic benefits. They
culLvate crucial life skills and enrich the learning experience. However, a balance must be
struck to ensure these acLviLes do not compromise academic responsibiliLes. These endeavors
should align with the student's interests, capabiliLes, and long-term goals for opLmal benefit.
