STATEMENTS
1. Learners relate better to
concrete, tangible examples
and
experiences than to abstract
conceptual models.
2. Action learning is based on
the premise that learners will
learn
from their mistakes and/or

each other. It is a process by which groups of
managers/leaders or “learners” generally work on
real issues or problems, carrying real
responsibility in real conditions”.
TRUE Localization as one of the degrees of
contextualization is defined as the process of
relating content specified in the curriculum to
local information and materials from the learner’s
community.
TRUE. Indigenization is the act of making something
more native; transformation of some service,
idea, etc. to suit a local culture, especially through
the use of more indigenous people in public
administration, employment, etc

SCENARIO ANALYSIS

Analyze the scenario below and answer the following questions.

Scenario 1:
Bucao Integrated School adopts a blended learning modality. Miss Lanie Ramos’s Grade 1 class is composed of 30
pupils. Every Monday and Wednesday, Group A, which is composed of 15 pupils, comes to school for face to face
class with her; while Group B stays at home and does online learning, and vice versa during Tuesdays and
Thursdays. During parents’
orientation on the new modality of learning, she found out that 6 of her pupils do not have any gadget at home. On
her way home one afternoon, she happened to pass by the Barangay Hall. She saw that no one was using one of the
computers in the hall. She thought of borrowing it during online classes for the six learners without gadgets. She
went to their School Head and asked if she could coordinate with the Barangay and ask to use the spare computers.
The School Head let her arrange a meeting with the Barangay Captain as a representative of the school and asked if
it would be possible to borrow the computer for their online classes. The barangay captain invited Mrs. Alma Abela,
a businesswoman, who also expressed her eagerness to help the school and their learners and offered some of her
computers to be donated to the Barangay. Ms. Ramos thanked the Barangay Captain and Mrs. Abela for their
generosity. The next day, Ms. Ramos immediately told the School Principal about it. The School Principal prepared
a Memorandum of Agreement with Mrs. Abela which was passed to The Schools Superintendent for approval. Ms.
Ramos called the parents of the six pupils and they were very grateful for Ms. Ramos’ initiative.

1. Why did Ms. Ramos talk to the Barangay Captain?

She talked to the Barangay Captain because she want to borrow the computers that are not used in the barangay
hall for the six learners who have no gadgets.

2. What was the Memorandum of Agreement the School Principal made for?
The MOA is a proof or hard copy of the agreement made by the Barangay Captain and Mrs. Abela and the
school.

3. If you were Ms. Ramos, would you do the same? Why?

Yes, I would do the same because it is the correct process on how to look for community linkages.

4. What will you do to show appreciation and gratitude to them?

I will recognize them as a stakeholder of the school.

SCENARIO ANALYSIS
Read the Purpose, Mission, Statement and Guiding Principles of the School Governing Council from
the Manual on School Governing Council and other relevant documents that can help you analyze the
scenario such as the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, etc. After reading, analyze the scenario
below and answer the questions given:

Scenario 1:
You are a newly-hired teacher following the retirement of Teacher Glenda, a teacher who devoted her life to
teaching Grade 1 in your present school. Teacher Glenda was always
on time for her class and as soon as she arrives in school, she prepares all her learning materials and sees to it that
the entire classroom and surroundings are clean before the learners arrive. In the afternoon, she always makes sure
that learners who needed remediation were attended to. She often lets those who can hardly read to stay so she can
teach them to read. Every parent in the community wants his/her child to be taught by Teacher Glenda. Upon
learning that she has
already retired, you heard most of the Grade 1 parents talk about transferring their children to another school.

1. As an adviser of one of the classes in Grade 1, what should you do to gain the trust and confidence of the
parents and the community? Limit your answer to 200 words (maximum)
To gain the trust of my students' parents, I plan to communicate with them frequently and in a variety of ways. I
will inform them about what is going on in my class. I'll also tell them that I'd like to collaborate with them, that I
appreciate their support, and that I look forward to working with them.

2. Who are the persons in the school community that you can tap to help you establish a good relationship with
parents?
The LGUs and school administration are the people in the school community who can help me establish a good
relationship with parents. When families, community groups, businesses, and schools work together to support learning,
young people achieve more, stay in school longer, and have a more enjoyable experience.

3. In what ways can you better communicate with the parents?

For me, it is preferable to communicate with them via whatever means of communication are available and
convenient for them. Nowadays, I can use messenger and create GC for us to easily share updates and make
announcements at any time.

PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY
During your first month of teaching, were you able to get to know the parents of your learners? What were your
struggles and how did you overcome them? Limit your response to 200 words. Yes. Every parent-teacher
conference given me with an opportunity to get to know them. During that time, I am able to discuss their child's
progress with them. One of the difficulties I've had was dealing with rude parents. They were occasionally disrespectful
to the teachers.

Reach out to your colleagues (preferably newly-hired teachers) and share your thoughts with your co-teachers.
Write down the ideas you got from them:
We almost have the same problems and struggles : building communication, doing follow ups to the students
who were not submitting outputs, paper works, loads and etc

WRITING
Claire is always absent and you never receive an excuse letter from her parents/guardians.
I will do a home visitation to Claire since she is not providing any excuse letter.

Your lesson for tomorrow is about different professions/jobs. You want your learners to meet professionals
and those working in the community. In planning the lesson, you wanted to prioritize the safety and
maximize the learning experience at the same time. You thought about conducting a field trip but it will be
very costly and will require rigorous planning to make sure that the activity will be safe. What is an
alternative way to conduct this activity?
I will invite some community helpers in the school. With this, I can say that my learners are safe because
we will just stay at school while we are maximizing the learning experience at the same time.

Mrs. Cruz, a parent, went to your class confronting you because her daughter told her that you moved the
child’s seat away from her friends to make her concentrate on your lessons. Your actions were triggered by
her non submission of assignment and throwing a crumpled paper at you. How will you explain your side to
Mrs. Cruz?
I will talk politely and honestly to the parents and I’ll say everything that her child is doing inside the classroom. I
will also suggest some solution to her child’s behavior according to the school policy.

The general PTA meeting is fast approaching, and you need to ensure at least 90 percent attendance of
parents. How are you going to invite the parents to ensure their attendance and participation?
I will post this announcement to our GC and encourage them by giving concrete agenda.

SCENARIO ANALYSIS
Read the following scenarios. Write YES if it tells about a healthy parent-teacher relationship and NO
if otherwise.

YES 1. Benedick, a Grade 1 pupil, never speaks in the class of Teacher Consuelo. Teacher Consuelo
seeks for advice from Benedick’s previous teachers. Contrary to what she knows, the teachers said
that Benedick was a talkative pupil. During the distribution of cards, she talked to the student’s
mother and found out that after his father’s death, he got upset, which led to Benedick’s disinterest in
socialization. Teacher Consuelo consulted Benedick’s condition with the School Guidance
Counselor.

YES 2. Mrs. Maureen De Cello was an alumna of Bucao Integrated School and a mother of a Kinder
learner in the same school. She was impressed by the improvements made in the school and
expressed her willingness to contribute to the further improvement of the school. She asked the
teacher of her daughter, of what else she can contribute to the school. However, nothing came into
fruition.

YES 3. Angelo always skips class every afternoon. He never does his assignments too. He is one of
the struggling learners in Ms. Bada’s class. Since he has been acting this way for almost two weeks,
Ms. Bada immediately called his father, Mr. Cruz and set an appointment. She told Mr. Cruz of
Angelo’s behavior in school and he promised that he will be watchful of Angelo.

NO 4. During the online class where Janna is attending, she failed to understand the instructions of
the teacher because of internet connection failure. Mrs. Manza, her mother, sent a message to her
teacher and asked for further discussion about the instruction because Janna was not able to get it
correctly. Her teacher did not respond to her.

YES 5. Mrs. Hugo sent three activity sheets to Lerio’s house through the Barangay Health Worker
(BHW) for her to answer. As soon as Lerio finished answering, her mother brought back the activity
sheets to school. She explained that she is on her way to the market so she didn’t wait for the BHW
to come over and get back the activity sheets. Mrs. Hugo was very grateful.
