3. As a newly hired teacher in DepEd, what can you contribute to:
a. Promote quality education?
In education, the teacher indeed plays a vibrant role. He or she is responsible
not only for imparting knowledge to students efficiently and effectively but also
shaping the behaviors, attributes, and character of learners. As a new teacher in this
institution, I will contribute the promotion of high-quality education by continuing my
professional development by attending workshops, seminars, educational
conferences and pursuing graduate school studies. I will always reflect
on my teaching methods, assess the methods and strategies I employ, and seek out
new ways to improve my teaching practices. Additionally, I will impulse my
students to be active learners by giving them material that fosters collaboration,
involving them in debates and discussions, and allowing them to share their new
ideas and knowledge to make the classroom discussion more interesting and
engaging.
b. uphold equity in education?
I can uphold equity in education by giving equal opportunity among my students
regardless of their race, religion, culture, color, and status. Moreover, I am able to
provide them with various instructions to address the different learning styles. I will
remove the barriers in learning and promote collaboration in the classroom and give
more opportunity to all students for them to excel.
c. Respond to the needs of the learners?
I can contribute through openly involving them in classroom decision-making in
the classroom to respond to the needs of the learners. Moreover, I will provide
them opportunities to engage in learning experiences that they have initiated. I will
consistently monitor my pupils' progress and provide them with proper intervention.

Vision,
Mission, and
Core Values

5. Preliminary Activity:
As a new public school teacher, what are your visions for yourself, for your class, and your school
community?
MY VISION BOARD
SELF CLASS SCHOOL COMMUNITY
As a new public-school teacher,
my goal is to become a good
teacher, a teacher that
encourages my students to enjoy
learning. Being a newly-hired
public school teacher, I have
realized that I will learn a lot. My
priority is to see my students
grow and become active to
develop their own strengths and
weaknesses, as well becoming a
good citizen of their community.
My vision in class is for it to
become a haven of learning. I
want my students to feel
motivated every time they enter
the classroom. My ideal class is
the one that is open for students
to explore new ideas and they
are all of assistance if needed. I
will be at all times student-
centered and differentiated.
Since I aim for my students to
become a good role model of the
society, My vision is having them
taking an active part in
community building, all the while
realizingtheir greatest potential as
they grow

6. Key Topic 1: DepEd’s Vision
Scenario 1
Teacher Johanna is a Grade 7 teacher at Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial National High school. She
encourages her learners to demonstrate their love of country through practicing acts of kindness inside and
outside the school premises. Provide at least two ways of integrating this in her lessons. You may respond
in 3-5 sentences.
Teacher Johanna should think first of the subjects where she can integrate and achieve her lesson
objective. Her Lesson objective should be built upon integration and children’s’ experiences. Having this
conversation about their personal experiences will help them work cooperatively and will provide
opportunities for children to be helpful to one another. Let us say for example, she integrates it in AP and
ESP then she can use it as a group task or individual task to her students wherein they demonstrate
practicing act of kindness.
Scenario 2
One of the Grade 9 advisory students of Teacher Andrew is showing interest in joining scouting.
However, the student is very shy and timid. In what ways can Teacher Andrew help his learners to gain
confidence and participate in scouting? You may respond in 3-5 sentences.
The first step Teacher Andrew should do is to talk to the pupil and explain to him the benefit of joining the
Scouting. Encourage him that joining scouting is an unforgettable experience where he can learn to
socialise with his other classmates and learn cooperation, that through this activity he can overcome his
shyness and gain confidence in interacting with other people. Teacher Andew should encourage him to go
beyond his comfort zone and joining the scouting is the perfect idea for it.
Key Topic 2: DepEd’s Mission
Required Task 2: Application
Scenario 1
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? You may respond in 3-5 sentences.
Teacher Helga should provide activities in science that promote a child-friendly, gender-sensitive,
safe, and motivating environment in her class by preparing a lesson plan ahead of time. She should make
sure that her activities are suited for the learners, not gender biassed, safe and encourage participation to
all learners.
Key Topic 3: The DepEd Core Values
Required Task 3: Application
Scenario 1
Teacher Luis is a Grade 10 guidance counselor and Values Education teacher at Arellano High School.
Oneof 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).
Teacher Luis should exercise what is written on DO 69 – OPTIONAL RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
UNDERPARAGRAPH 3, SECTION 3, ARTICLE XIV OF THE1987 CONSTITUTION. It states in number 6
that: No students/pupils shall be allowed or permitted to attend religious instruction classes without the
written request permission of his/her parents guardian. Relevantly, Teacher Luis should explain to all his
pupils that students with different religious beliefs should not force to participate to any religious activity that
is not allowed on their religion. They should learn to respect the religion of other people to avoid

7. discrimination in the class. That’s why if one of their classmates does not join or lead the prayer in their
class, they should respect their decision.
Scenario 2
The DepEd Core Values teaches us the love for God(maka-Diyos), love for fellow men (maka-tao), love
fornature (makakalikasan), and love for country (makabansa).Teacher Molina inspires his Grade 2 learners
to becomea better version of themselves through exemplifyingqualities and characters of our
national heroes. Whatclassroom management strategies can Teacher Molinaemploy to encourage
learners to apply the DepEd corevalues in real life situations?
The DepED conceptualized three (3) major strategies for 2018 to 2022. These strategies include (1)
organizational alignment, (2) establishing Quality Management System (QMS), and (3) School
Organizational Structure Review. Teacher Molina can use these 3 strategies in encouraging his learners to
apply Deped Core Values in their everyday lives. To teach the DEpEd core values to Grade 2 pupils,
Teacher Molina can use it as an activity wherein she can assign her class per group to act as one of the
national heroes and portray the good values that they have, through this pupil can internalized the good
values in real life situations.

Required Task 3: Reflection

This module helped me in reflecting on my vision in my teaching career in DepEd. This clarifies my goal and
aspirations for my students. This module gave mea clear understanding that promotion of a learner-
centered environment is necessary for the betterment of my students. This gave me the confidence to
continue to become motivated because I know that I am guided by DepEd’s Mandate and directions.
1.In what ways has this module helped you reflect on the Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Strategic
Directions of the Department of Education?
Through this module I now understand that term “teacher” is a very broad definition. That his/her role does
not end in the four walls of the classroom. Teacher is one of the important people who mold and shape the
minds of the pupils. Because of this module, I realized that I cannot provide the quality education to my
pupils if I did not seek to continue my professional development.
2.How has this module helped you clarify your vision and motivations in serving your learners better and in
promoting a learner-centered environment for them?
This module serves as my wake-up call to continue my dream to change the lives of my pupils as my top
priority despite of the challenges I encountered as a new teacher. This serves as my guide to be a
competent teacher and provide learner centered environment that focus on the welfare of my pupils.
3.What are your personal beliefs and values that are aligned with the DepEd’s VMV (Vision, Mission, Core
Values)?
My personal beliefs that are aligned with the DepEd Vision, Mission and Core Values is that “We should not
judge a book by it’s cover”, because I realized that as a teacher, I
should not judge my pupils by just looking at them or by their mistakes they created because, the
intelligence of a child is not measured by it. I should give equal opportunities to all my pupils when it comes
to learning regardless of their attitudes or behaviors. And as a teacher, it is my duty to change the lives of
my pupils one at a time.
