student is very shy and timid. In what ways can Teacher Andrew help his learners to gain confidence and participate
in scouting?

It can give him or her a chance to get out of his or her comfort zone and to overcome his or her shyness. Teacher
Andrew should give encouragement and support to the student.

Key Topic 2: DepEd’s Mission

Let’s see how you would apply the DepEd’s mission in responding to the following school scenarios.

Teacher Helga is a Grade 1 teacher at Biñan Elementary School. She is teaching Science. She wants to make sure
that she can provide a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment in her class. What should
she do to achieve this?
ANSWER: Teacher Helda should provide activities that promotes child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe and motivating
environment in her class. She should choose activities that are suited for her learners, not gender-biased, safe and
encourage participation to all learners.

Key Topic 3: The DepEd Core Values

Let’s see how you would apply the DepEd Core Values in responding to the following school scenarios.

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)).
ANSWER: Teacher Luis should explain to the students that they should respect each of their classmates’ beliefs and
differences in religion. That is why, if a classmate refuses to participate in religious activities done by other students,
they should respect his or her 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?
ANSWER: Teacher Molina can let the students do an activity where they will portray a chosen national hero that
shows the DepEd Core Values: Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa. By doing so, students will be
encouraged to show it to their classmates.

Key Concept 3: Implementing Guidelines
Required Task 1: Reading and Reflection
Study the rationale of the Implementing Guidelines of the DepEd School Calendar for the current school year. Write
your insight on the space provided below.

The DepEd School Calendar is a very important plan that provides schools with direction and guidance in organizing
curricular and co-curricular operations within the required number of school days. Following this calendar will greatly
help teachers to establish a routine and expectations while such routine provides time to practice and reinforce their
subjects. It can also provide them informal assessment data about the students. It can also help us visualize our
schedule and remind us of important events in and out of the school. But the most important reason according to
DepEd order no. 34, series of 2022 is that School calendar aims to comply with the required number of school days
to attain the learning standard.

Required Task 2: Personal School Calendar (Output for Portfolio)

Get a copy of the latest DepEd School Calendar. In the space below, write your personal activities, reconciling them
with the important dates set by DepEd throughout the school year.

Key Topic 2: Schoolbased Management (SBM)

Required Task 2: Scenario Analysis
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION V
SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF CATANDUANES
BARAS RURAL DEVELOPMENT HIGH SCHOOL

To foster harmonious relationships with the wider school community, it is important to involve learners, parents, and
other stakeholders in identifying and resolving issues and concerns in the school community. Discuss how you can help
in each scenario and involve some key personnel who can help you resolve the following challenges

Scenario 1
Teacher Lozano, the mother of one of your advisory students, visited you in the school because of a bullying incident
that you are not aware of. She was very angry and disappointed about what happened because the incident was not
addressed and resolved properly. Her daughter is still afraid and decided not to go to school that day. The incident
happened during Science time because the teacher was late to enter the class. You also had other classes to attend to
and had no chance to meet your advisory class during that time. Who should you seek help to?

ANSWER: As an adviser I know that the safety of my class is my utmost priority. That is why, I will calmly meet the
parent of the involved student and sincerely apologize for the incident. I will also call upon the students who bullied
the student and together with the parent and her daughter, we will resolve the issue. If the issue was still not
resolved, I will seek help from the school head and the guidance counselor.

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?

ANSWER: I will be honest with my fellow teacher and tell here that I also have classes to attend to. I will advise her to
inform the school head of her absence so that he/she could arrange a substitute for her classes. The school head will
then decide who will be the teacher to attend 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?

ANSWER: First and foremost, I will talk with my student and know how he is doing. I will tell him in the most careful
way of the feedbacks and worries of the subject teachers to his performance in his classes. I will advise him to do
what he thinks is best for him to do and encourage him that even though he is the President of the Supreme Student
Government, he still has other responsibilities that he should consider. He needs to learn to balance these.
