Individual Activity #1

1. Reflect on the teacher as she goes about her task in the classroom and in
the community. In what ways is she/he

a. piece of iron?
The teacher as a piece of iron, what makes a piece of iron reflects
on the teacher makes it effective, supportive and excellent work in
and out of the classroom. The way the teacher deals with his/her
students and the way he/she values time in class.

b. a well?
The teacher as a well supports the health and well-being of
educators in order to transform school sites. And also truly lives up
their name. They are gift to the world of educators and all the
students that we touch.

c. a gardener?
The teacher as a gardener, each time the students step into the
garden it is the responsibility of the teacher to organize those
activities which enable the students to grow strong and tall into their
natural splendor.

d. a door?
The teacher as a door, this is where a teacher can be helpful. They
have been outside your limited world. They have seen, done, and
learned things you dont know or understand. But after the teacher
has taught you, its up to you to actually go out and do it. The
teacher has opened the door, but only you can take the step
through the door.
e. a wakeup call?
The teacher as a wakeup call, meaning it is a warning of a threat or
a challenge especially when it means that people will have to
change their behavior to meet it. So, teachers can play many
different roles and each of the roles has a definite structure and
responsibility.

f. a potter?
The teacher as a potter, the teacher and the potter play almost a
similar role in the sense of creating something unique. Students are
like clay in hands of a teacher who can shape them into
independent and confident individuals or into isolated rebels. And
also a teachers role in molding the character of an students that
undeniable.

g. a mirror?
The teacher as a mirror, they serve as our mirrors and teach us what
needs to be revealed about ourselves. Seeing what we dont like in
others helps us look deeper inside ourselves for similar traits and
challenges that need healing and also to be balanced.

h. an assessor?
The teacher as a assessor, teachers should be able to offer
feedbacks, give correction and grades students in various ways. So
that students know on what for and how they are being assessed.
Its like the assessment and evaluation because when teachers
prepare plans to teach it is important to know where they are
going, how they are going to get there and when they have
arrived.

i. a nurse?
The teacher as a nurse, because they have to do whatever it takes
to help a student. They have to look out for your best interest as a
student. They are teachers because they have to motivate you and
get you involve with your work the best way they can to make you
learn. So, if you have to act out a lesson to get you to master it.
Thats what they do.
2. Conduct a meta-analysis of researchers on the qualities of a good
teacher. Between the professional qualities and personal qualities of a
teacher, which ones are perceived to move important?

A professional teacher involves developing yourself in your role to entirely

understand the job you do and how you can improve. It involves

enhancing the necessary skills to carry out your role as effectively as

possible and is something that will continue throughout your working life.

Professional development involves developing yourself in your role to

entirely understand the job you do and how you can improve. It involves

enhancing the necessary skills to carry out your role as effectively as

possible and is something that will continue throughout your working life
Some examples of professional development are:

o IT training

o Health and Safety

o Accountancy or budgeting
o Legal knowledge or expertise

These could be delivered in many different methods, such as classroom

based learning, eLearning, coaching, consultation, mentoring and more.

A personal teacher, think about what skills you need to accomplish the

results required, both in your role and for life in general. It is about

improving your talents and potential, both in and out of the workplace. By

having a thorough understanding of what you need to achieve and how

to achieve it, you can develop the necessary skills by way of a solution.
Some examples of personal development are:

o Leadership training

o Management training

o Time management

o Handling difficult situations and conflict management

o Communication skills

Based on the research, the one that is perceived to be more important is

the effective professional teacher that involves ensuring your knowledge

and understanding of your area of expertise for your career is always at

the highest possible level. It is the acquisition of skills and knowledge for

career advancement, but it also includes an element of personal

development. With changes to our working lives happening every day, is

it economical change, amendments in legislation or even the advance of

technology, it is important to develop your skillset to remain effective in

your career.
Individual Activity #2

School and Community Relations

1. Decide on the following:

a. Will you request a dialogue with the parents? How will you do it?

Just as you know your child in a certain context, so do teachers and

you two might not experience the same person. The idea is to help
teachers round out their image of your child and to help them most
effectively reach the student. I will tell the parents what you know
about their childs interests, skills and history that will help to build a
complete picture of who your child is at this moment. Share any
information that can affect your child emotionally, mentally or
physically.

b. Daily assignments are incomplete, oftentimes not understood. What will

you do?

Incomplete homework meant a mandatory lunch detention, where

students ate in silence but could NOT work on their homework.
Missing meant a mandatory after-school detention, where students
completed reflection packets, answering questions about why they
were there, how that behavior impacted them and their
teammates, and how they could fix it. The biggest need for any
teacher is having a clear view of what students can and
cannot accomplish. This knowledge is our guide and
signpost for helping our students.
c. A student is observed to be negative or indifferent to his classmates
suggestions.

How can we deal with these students and how can we protect the
rest of our students from the negative effects these students have
on the classroom? By separating students from the classmates they
normally work with and having them sit in a different area of the
class, I make them step out of their comfort zones. When they feel
uncomfortable, they are less likely to interrupt the class. The brain
needs to adjust to the new place, and that takes a bit of time. I like
doing this exercise in my class so all my students know each other. I
call it the mix and mingle exercise.

d. A student is always involved in cases of misbehavior.

Teachers deal with misbehaving students on a daily basis. Most of

the time problem behaviors get resolved without major disruptions.
But left unchecked, even minor naughtiness can escalate into a
bigger issue. You can combat many of the common
classroom misbehaviors before you need to turn to your formal
discipline plan. For example, seeking attention. Being the center of
attention is a common desire for students, some more than others.
Acting out by making fun of others, swearing, talking out of turn or
simply being uncooperative are a few ways students looking for
more of the spotlight may misbehave.

2. How will you face or have a dialogue with:

a. unreceptive parents?

Some parents don't want to hear anything negative about their

kids, I guess. And I suppose it's no surprise that their kids are just
that much more likely to get into trouble at school. Why shouldn't
they, if Mom and Dad are unlikely to acknowledge, let alone
respond to, anyone claiming they're at fault for anything?
b. receptive parents?

Parenting is one of the most interesting and challenging roles that

many of have played or are playing. This role has a lot to offer-
goodies in the form of fond memories, rewards in the form of
success in the childrens lives, emotions, anxieties, and
unfortunately sometimes, sadness and despair. But, beyond
doubt every individual, who has played this role would surely
agree wholeheartedly that at the end of the day, it was really
worth it! Our parents faced many challenging situations. Every
parent wishes to cope with the challenge in the most effective
manner.

Research on:

1. How ABS-CBN and GMA Foundation assist school and school children
nationwide.

Kapuso School Development (KSD) Project

A school-based program which aims to foster integral education by providing

students of underserved public schools, both primary and secondary, the
following:

Decent and functional classrooms which are conducive for learning Water
distribution and sanitation facilities. Through the spirit of bayanihan, engaging
members of the local community to provide supplementary and voluntary
labor in the construction of the classrooms, 340 classrooms have been built
and turned over. LGUs, private individuals and civic-minded organizations are
also involved through varying levels of partnerships with the GMAKF.

Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan (UHSK)

In order to reduce the dropout rate among poor Filipino children in public
elementary school due to lack of school supplies (as cited by the
Department of Education), the GMA Kapuso Foundation initiated the Unang
Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan project to help both the parents and the students
for the next school opening. Yearly, grade 1 students from public elementary
schools nationwide are each provided with one UHSK backpack containing
complete set of school materials that includes 5 notebooks, 2 pad papers, 2
pencils, sharpener, an eraser and a set of crayons.
 ABS-CBN Programs:

Programa Genio envisions discovering and developing the inherent genio or

genius in every child. The program which works in cooperation with the
school division of the Department of Education will focus on public
elementary school children and their immediate communities. Programa
Genio maintains current partnerships with private sector donors that
advocate school development.

The program seeks to achieve its goals by providing a holistic school

development program with the following components: Needs Assessment,
Teacher Training, Supplementary Instructional Materials (ETV Packages),
Monitoring &Consultancy, and Parental Involvement Seminars.

The program is involved in curriculum enhancement, teacher training and

learning resource development. In 2012, Programa Genio conducted
Teachers Training at the two schools in BNJ Southville7, namely, Dayap
Annex Elementary School and Sto. Tomas Annex Elementary School. Training
focused on equipping the teachers in creating student-centered classrooms
and in learning to use curriculum mapping to help them teach better.
Programa Genio implemented the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in
partnership with the Department of Education to provide educational
opportunities for the relocatees at the BayaniJuan Southville 7 Area. The ALS
allowed those who were not able to attend formal schooling to pursue their
studies and eventually move on to the next grade level. Part of the 2012
endeavors of Programa Genio is the continued implementation of Project
Araw. PROJECT ARAW (Aral-Awit) PAHINA VALUES EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION
PROJECT is a joint undertaking of ABSCBN Foundation, Inc. and Nokia aimed
at promoting Philippine Literature and Filipino values through music
necessary in the character development of youth

VISION

To discover, nurture, and realize the genius in every Filipino child. This includes
discovering the strengths of each child, and nurturing and maximizing their
full potential.
 MISSION
o To develop models of excellence which prove the message and can be
learning grounds for other institutions

o To inculcate, in these models of excellence, a never ending thirst to

discover and evolve.

o To capitalize on the strengths of the organization (AFI) which is media

strength - in the awareness that audio visuals have the capacity to enrich
and accelerate the learning process.

Educational Television (ETV) - a program which aims to enhance the

Philippine public educational system through the use of audio-visual aids (a
television set and VHS/DVD player, plus access to the ETV educational video
library series). This program has been in service in conjunction with the
curricula set by the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd)

2. A foundation that is known for its educational activities. Interview a member

of the foundation and discuss their active partnership with the school.

The Tao Community, through its Taos Puso Foundation, is doing

its share to improve the state of public education in the
country. The company strives to pay it forward by
focusing on public education, public sports programs and
the promotion of Filipino music as its primary advocacies.

"Philippine education is in crisis. Every day, more than 17

million school children face the dreary reality of a lack of
public classrooms, books and teachers."

Despite the best efforts of the government, 16% of children drop

out of school in Grades 1 and 2. Many cannot read nor understand what they
read, even in the higher grade levels.

For Public Education

TAO implemented the e-Impact Learning System, an alternative

mode of delivery approved by the Department of Education
and developed by Seameo (Southeast Asia Ministers of Education)
Innotech, which not only seeks to improve the quality of education but
through its innovative approaches and methods expects to minimize, if
not totally eliminate, the reasons for drop-outs.
 For Sports

Much like education, sports is an integral part in shaping a young

ones values and ability to move forward in life. TAO started the Energen
sports program to teach values in sports, and provide communities the
ability to participate in various programs. TAO supports the Energen U-16
Basketball team.

For the Promotion of Filipino music

7101 Music Nation was founded to enhance local music artistry. Under the
auspices of the TaosPuso Foundation, 7101 Music Nation launched its pilot
project, dubbed the Elements National Songwriting Camp. The event, the first of
its kind in the Philippines, aimed to gather professional and aspiring songwriters
from various disciplines and genres, and provide them with a venue to
collaborate and create their own kind of music, all in a serene, natural setting,
held annually in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental.

For the Tao Community, true success is achieved only if it succeeds in

uniting hands and improving lives. The Kaibigan Foundation has been helping
poor children and their families for more than 25 years in Metro Manila, the
capital of the Philippines. Today Kaibigan is sending more than 350 urban poor
and street children to school, more than 50 students to college and
technical/vocational education, and is also helping to build stronger and
healthier communities. Please use the tabs at the top of this page to learn more
about Kaibigan, its staff, its programs and its beneficiaries.

Literacy enables a person to consume and create information and

knowledge in order to, ultimately, improve his or her quality of life. Filipinas
Heritage Library aims to be an essential space for literacy for the Filipino, on the
Filipino.

Aside from initiating programs that aspire to bring physical and virtual
libraries and library services to more users, FHL, with the help of private and
government partners, plans and carries out special projects that celebrate
literacy and Philippine culture. With its programs, FHL hopes to encourage
teachers, information specialists, and communities not only to know more about
our country, but to be creative and constructive in using that knowledge as well.

Our Library

In the effort to expand and enrich the learning experience of students

and other members of communities, the Ayala Foundation, through FHL, is
spearheading the OurLibrary project. This project aims to: 1) improve the
collection of resource and reading materials available in the public or school
library in cities and municipalities in the country; 2) improve libraries facilities; 3)
 enhance libraries services; and 4) set up related activities that aspire to promote
love for reading and learning.

Library Link

FHL is hosting Library Link, a one-stop resource center for Filipiniana

resources. It aims to provide one search engine or point of entry for researchers
and students of Filipiniana. It now has 112 institutional members sharing over
350,000 catalog records of their Filipiniana collections through the Library Link
website. FHL also organizes the LibraryLink conference, a biennial gathering of
library professionals from the Philippines and abroad to discuss relevant issues in
the library and information industries.

Herencia

The Herencia Lectures are based on Herencia: A Legacy of Art and

Progress, which BPI Foundation published in 2008. The book and teachers guide
explore the BPI Art Collection which represents nearly all periods, styles, and
genres significant to Philippine visual art history. Through the Herencia Lectures,
BPI Foundation aims to address the lack of art education projects and training
programs for teachers in the country, and thus initiate a discussion into the
dynamic relationships between the economy, the artist, and art, between
material and spiritual progress.

The lectures relate a brief history of Philippine art and introduce art
appreciation, and provide hands-on instruction for creating art-oriented lesson
plans and classroom activities. Facilitated by artist and art teacher Don
Salubayba, art critic Cid Reyes, and art teacher Malou Roque, the seminar-
workshop is usually cascaded to fifty local public school teachers selected by
the Regional Office of DepEd.

The fifth Herencia Lectures took place in October 2013 in Bacolod City.
The free seminar was previously held in Makati and Cebu in 2011; Zamboanga in
2012; and Baguio in April 2013.

Art Connection

Art Connection is a teacher training and development program of the

League of Corporate Foundations, through its Art and Culture Committee,
supported by the Charities Aid Foundation of Australia.

From 2008 to 2010, more than 1,000 teachers from Metro Manila and its
neighboring towns received free training on teaching Philippine history and
culture, while 70 teachers were given a copy of the Art Connection resource
book on teaching Makabayan.
 The resource book is a comprehensive guide to Philippine cultural history
and includes a CD of sample lesson plans and pieces of Philippine music that
teachers can use in the classroom. The training program on the other hand is
made up of lectures conducted by experts in the fields of History, Literature,
Music, and the Visual Arts, as well as class demonstrations of how an
interdisciplinary classroom is run.

With the support of LGUs or corporate sponsors, the resource book and
training program can be cascaded to public school teachers in other parts of
the country.

Free Tuition Schools (Pre-School to High School) - We establish Free

Tuition Schools in all our centers to provide Pre-School to Secondary
Education for our in-house children, and welcome the community to avail of
our free tuition, yet quality schools using the accelerated Christian education
curriculum.
Scholarship/Educational Assistance - We give hope to the financially
distressed, granting them scholarship and other educational assistance, and
enabling them to finished a bachelors degree and even gain credentials
and knowledge as they pursue their graduate and post graduate courses.
Through these we have the opportunity to take part in the empowering of
the less privileged.
Ezer Foundation Performing Arts (EFPA) and Orchestra - We provide the
children time to play not games, but different kinds of musical instruments - as
an intervention program to transform their energy from unfruitful use to a
more beneficial activity. We gave them exposures by performing in various
events, e.g. Birthdays, wakes, anniversaries, weddings, charity concerts, and
the like, to hone more their talents and skills. The Orchestra was, thus,
organized. Likewise, children were given opportunity to have different skills
training. While we make the children's time, a worthwhile one, we endeavor
to sustain this, preparing them to a brighter future as they become
responsible citizens.

Literacy Program - As our contribution to resolve the increasing rate of

illiteracy problem in our country, we teach basic literacy (reading, writing,
arithmetic, and values) to both schooled and non-schooled children and
youth, and reaches out even those in the far-flung areas, whose constituents
in their teenage years are still in the elementary grades, and worse, not even
 able to enter school. We inculcate to them that "education is still a necessary
commodity, as ignorance is an expensive trade". Our implementation of the
Literacy, Arts and Music and Practical Principles (LAMP) Program is geared
towards the accomplishment of this purpose, among others.

Partnership Planning Process

When working to create or formalize a partnership with an organization outside of

the school system, use the following to guide the partnership planning process.

Identify school needs and partnership opportunities

Create a partnership team to identify your schools needs and opportunities. A
good place to start is with your School Improvement Plan that focuses on student
achievement and improvement. Review the school partnership strategies and
activities listed on the following page for ideas on potential opportunities. Be
clear about what you want to achieve and that the activities are manageable.

Identify potential business / community resources

Define what you want in a partner and brainstorm possibilities. What are the
businesses, non-profits, city groups, government, etc. close to your school?
Where do your parents work? What about employee spouses? Ask others for
suggestions.

Make Contact
Write, call or stop by the partner location. Phone calls are more effective than
letters and visits are more effective than either calls or letters. Schedule a
meeting and present a preliminary partnership outline. If the partner is interested,
continue to step #4.

Partnership Development/Agreement
Determine who should be included in partnership planning activities. The team
should have representatives from both partners and include members who will
champion and support activities. Collaborative planning must operate from the
beginning of a partnership. Involvement by key team members will minimize
misunderstandings and problems during the implementation phase of your plan.
Complete the School Partnership Agreement Form.
 Track the Relationship and Keep it Healthy
Maintain regular contact with your partner(s) and ensure that projects are on
time and on target. Track the value of cash, and in-kind (equipment, value of
services, or merchandise) donations on the Donation Tracking Form. If changes
need to be made to the agreement, complete a revised agreement form.
Remember to thank your partners on a regular basis.
