 For me Creativity the nation is moving towards stricter standards and

benchmarks, and testing has become a huge issue. A good teacher will learn the
curriculum through and through, and tailor it to the needs of students. It’s all
about creativity and presenting that information in a way that all students will
understand. Lesson plans need to inspire students not every student has the same
learning style, and good teachers offer variety in their lesson plans.

witnesses he may produce, and particularly describing the place to be searched
and the persons or things to be seized.

8. What is your opinion about teachers joining anti-government rallies?

 Some teachers are joining in anti government rallies because they don't
like what does the government treat them. Sometimes the government didn't
care about them because the government is looking forward to some projects
that is not looks like gonna happen they only make promises. Like they will gonna
give the teachers a higher income.

9. How do we encourage teachers to become human rights advocates in their communities

too?

advocate about it, that teacher would make a big difference for he can be an
example for younger students and generations.

10. Looking at the triumphs and failures of teachers today, do you think teaching is still the
noblest profession? Explain your answer.

knowledge. Most often, teachers may start teaching with having a passion for
their work.

13. How can we engage teachers to be a good community leader?

  Being role models, the leadership quality we possess is reflected in the
standards we have set for ourselves. Tell your teachers, to be unafraid and strong
individuals who ask what they want, believe they need it, and are prepared to get
it. As leaders we need to be close enough to relate to them, yet ahead to motivate
them. A sure sign of success for any leader would be his/her team working with
self-direction. This helps the team to initiate change, and create a culture of
individuals who want to contribute and make a difference, rather than waiting for
change to find them. A leader needs to teach, encourage, mentor, influence,
guide and inspire

14. What form of advocates should a teacher participate in the community?

 Mindset Matters Seeing ourselves as teacher-leaders and advocates for
public education is key. If we don't see ourselves in this role, we leave the door
open for others outside the profession to tell our stories and determine the
successes (and shortcomings) of our schools. Teacher advocates see the bigger
picture and purpose of public education. We ask lots of questions. We problem
solve and push back against the status quo. We take initiative. We wonder out
loud and imagine possibilities. We say "Yes" often when asked to explain our
work to others despite our busy schedules. We see advocacy as part of what it
means to be an educator.

15. Can you identify teachers who are good community leaders and advocates? Set an
interview with them. What are the things they do to serve in the community?
 Maam Alma Masancay she stated that serving as a bridge between the
front lines of our schools and the shaping of public policies that affect them. It
means having a stake in education beyond our day-to-day classroom experience,
knowing this also serves our students. In addition, it means considering ourselves
as public professionals, representing our profession in the public eye, and
advocating publicly for high quality education for all students.

16. What are the problems and issues related to teacher’s character and behavior that you
are aware of?

 Students who are sick, hungry and upset cant learn. While you may not be
able to solve the problem, you have to be aware of it, you have to care it, and you
have to offer support and encouragement to the students. You have to be there
to listen when a student needs to talk.

17. What are the factors that influence the values system and characters of teachers today?

the Philippines is the Tesda because it has a benefits that encourage and
promote learning in society.

21. Identify an expert teacher. Set an interview with him/her. What made him/her as expert
teacher? What lessons can be learned from his/her life as an expert teacher?

 Maam Maria Cristina Arpellida according to her expert teachers make a

conscious effort to ensure that their teaching intentions are in accord with the
learning expectations they have for their students. Expert teachers are aware of
what they are doing; they monitor and adjust their teaching behavior’s to bring
out the best in their students.

22. Interview teachers and school principals. How is NCBTS used in the development and
promotion of teachers?

 According to Maam Elisa Andoy use various elements of the NCBTS is to

determine whether their different actions and strategies as teachers are
effective in helping the students learning in the desired curriculum objectives.
Thus NCBTS can be used as a self-assessment tool.

23. Considering the ASEAN integration initiatives, how do we mentor and prepare teachers
for global classroom?

 By modifying the curriculum so this conforms to the curriculum being

implemented by other nations in Southeast Asia. From the 10-year basic
education system, the Philippines is now implementing the K to 12 – a program
that makes it mandatory to take up kindergarten as part of the primary education
system. A two-year “pre-college “course or senior high school is also made part
of the strengthened education system.

24. Using the NCBTS and the results of SEAMEO studies, what reforms can be introduced in
the pre-service teacher education program in the country?


25. How does history shape the educational system of any country?

 I think it is safe because education is an extremely dynamic process. As the

world evolves and changes, so does the system of education. History, and the
social, political, and cultural ideas/policies/actions from these events in history
are in large part responsible for this dynamic, and ever changing nature. There
are so many key features that have lead to the education system that we are a
part of today.

  Anthropology – Anthropology is the scientific study of human beings and
their many different cultures. It focusses on multiculturalism, educational
pluralism, culturally relevant pedagogy and native method of learning and
socializing.
 Psychology – It help the teacher to study the ability, interest, intelligence,
needs and adopt different techniques in teaching for effective communication.

27. Do you think the information you learned from your professional education courses are
enough to develop your knowledge and appreciation as a field of study? Explain your answer.

 No because it is designed to produce responsible professionals and then

to ensure their continuing competence in the profession by helping them
recognize and understand the significance of advancing professional
knowledge and improving standards of practice. It involves the translation of
learning to practice and is intended to prevent occupations and professionals
from becoming obsolete.

28. What are the characteristics of an ideal learning environment for students?
 It tickles the student's mind. An ordinary environment is immensely
different from that of a learning environment. ...

if left unattended. ...
 It emits a positive energy. Learning is a lifelong process.
29. What type of learning environment should be provided to promote academic excellence?

 Knowledge-Centered Environment
Focus on helping students learn information with deep understanding so students
can use it in new situations and contexts. Memorization does not lead to true
understanding and only helps students learn at the surface. Deep learning involves
learning through problem-solving.

academic progress, and more to help your culturally diverse students be
successful.

32. Examine existing instructional materials such as textbooks and manuals. How do these
instructional materials respond to students with various needs and interests?

 Textbook and manuals integrate other resources into your teaching. New
teachers will find this resource particularly valuable. Includes suggestions such as
using the textbook as a guide for students, supplementing the textbook with
outside readings, and more.
33. What type of learning environment can be developed for culturally diverse students?

 Students can develop cross-cultural skills in culturally and linguistically

diverse classrooms. For such learning to take place, however, teachers must have
the attitudes, knowledge, and skills to make their classrooms effective learning
environments for all students.

34. What curriculum models can be developed and implemented in the multicultural country
like the Philippines?

 The K to 12 curriculum models are the curriculum who is suited and must
be implemented in a multicultural country like Philippines because K to 12
program covers kindergarten and 12 years of basic education, to provide sufficient
time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare
graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment
and entrepreneurship.

35. What strategies and programs can you suggest for the successful implementing of the
curriculum?

 The Learning targets each subject can be broken down into a number of
modules. For example, perceptual training and motor co-ordination are
essential modules in the subject of Perceptual Motor Training. The teacher
might need to translate these modules into concrete learning targets for actual
teaching in the classroom. It will be more beneficial to the children if these
learning targets are defined in terms of different types of outcome such as
skills, behavior, knowledge, attitudes, values and interests.

36. What pedagogical approaches can be utilized to maximize students learning?

 Learner-Centered Pedagogy: This pedagogical approach has many

associated terms constructivist, student-centered, participatory, active), but

information. Goals: This will help you illustrate your academic and professional
development goals.

39. Some people believe that grades do not necessarily reflect the capacity and ability of a
students. What is your idea on this?

 While good grades are important and should be something every student
strives for, they do not necessarily correlate with a student’s intelligence .
 Students should worry less about their grades and instead care more about
retaining the content they are learning and gaining actual knowledge.

among their peers.

44. What types of problems do teachers encounter in their classes? How do they manage
their problem?

 Tardiness even I have a hard time arriving places on time. But the truth is,
tardiness is not only rude, it can be distracting and disruptive to other
students. If tardiness becomes a problem for members of your class, make
sure they are disciplined. Set rules about tardiness and penalties for breaking
them.

45. How can we empower teachers to become effective classroom managers?

 Model vulnerability, reward risk-taking, and embrace the possibility of

failure. Any teacher would be reluctant to innovate when a lesson flop could
lead to a poor evaluation or loss of employment. Give implicit and explicit
permission for teachers to take risks and consider what worked and what
didn’t. Share mistakes freely and talk about strategies for resilience and
growth. Reframe mistakes as learning opportunities that are a crucial element
for later success, and demonstrate the same infallible belief in teachers’ ability
to teach as they have in their students’ ability to learn.
46. How can teacher work effectively with families and professionals to understand learner’s
issues and problems?

 Effective communication is essential for building school-family

partnerships. Positive parent-school communications benefit parents. For
example, schools that communicate bad news about student performance
more often than recognizing students' excellence will discourage parent .

 Apply classroom management techniques.

49. What do you think could be done to improve the quality of in-service programs and
graduate education in this country?

 Students will be more accountable as the task of learning becomes theirs.

The challenge of the modern classroom is its increasing diversity and the skills
that this diversity requires of teachers. This is why we need to do some new
thinking when it comes to the teaching profession.

50. How can we encourage teachers to develop culturally relevant and responsive curriculum
for their learners?

51. How can teachers incorporate cultural literacy in the classroom pedagogy and in the
content of their course?

 By supporting the meshing and blending of language varieties. We’ve

documented teachers speaking and writing in ways that blend languages,
dialects, and formal and informal registers. In addition to helping students see
themselves in the texts they write, this approach helps students note complex
power dynamics surrounding language use.

52. What is your idea on the implementation of Mother Tongue Based Multilingual
Education?

the goal of “Every Child-A-Reader and A-Writer by Grade 1

53. How do we promote equity and social justice in our schools?

 Self-awareness – promoting equity and social justice in our classrooms

begins with self-awareness. Educators must recognize how the intersections
of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status
and being able bodied impact us individually. We must acknowledge our
personal biases and seek to understand people with different experiences.
 Class Norms – An important part of promoting equity and social justice is
setting norms in our classroom that promote inclusion and openness. Be
explicit about the way your class respectful to each other and share ideas,
opinions and values. Teach students how to disagree respectfully.
 Culturally Relevant Teaching- This pedagogy provide a framework for
students to diverse cultures in deep, meaningful ways and prioritizes academic
excellence for all students. This framework is also unique because of its
emphasis on social justice and activism.
 Purposeful Planning – is an important part of promoting equity and social
justice in our classroom is purposeful planning. Planning a lesson is just as
important as the execution of the lesson, especially if your class will discuss
sensitive topics or ideas.
 Community Involvement – Your students and families have a wealth of
knowledge to share about themselves. Invite parents and family to read a book
about a particular issue that relates to their culture or that they are passionate
about.

54. How do we address the needs of gifted children in class?

 Pre-assess your students. Find out their areas of strength as well as those
areas you may need to address before students move on.
 Consider grouping gifted students together for at least part of the school day.
 Plan for differentiation. Consider pre-assessments, extension activities, and
compacting the curriculum.
 Use phrases like "You've shown you don't need more practice" or "You need
more practice" instead of words like "qualify" or "eligible" when referring to
extension work.
 Encourage high-ability students to take on challenges. Because they're often
used to getting good grades, gifted students may be risk averse.
 Offer training in gifted education to all your teachers.

55. How can we help address the learning needs of slow learners in the class?

 Reduce distractions by providing a quiet, private place to work.

 Work on material that is somewhat challenging but allows success.

56. How can we work closely with the parents of special learners?

 Parents are not accustomed to hearing unsolicited positive comments from teachers
about their children, especially in a phone call from the school. Imagine how you
would feel, as a parent, if you were contacted by a teacher or the school principal and
told that your son or daughter was doing well in school, or that your child had
overcome a learning or behavior problem. When you make calls to share positive
 information with parents, be prepared for them to sound surprised-pleasantly
surprised. Research shows that school-home communication is greatly increased
through personalized positive telephone contact between teachers and parents.
Remember, when a phone call from school conveys good news, the atmosphere
between home and school improves. When you have good news to share, why wait?
Make the call and start a positive relationship with a parent.

57. How can the community support teachers assigned to handle in multigrade classes in their
respective areas?

 By visiting the school regularly not to inspect but to advise and considered
for promotion. The school is part of the community and the school is
established to serve the children of the community.

58. What are the instructional strategies that can be effective in multigrade classes?

 Teachers should not use just the usual style of teaching that they have
been trained for, they must utilize very good planning and develop

teaching and learning strategies, dedicated and willing to work hard to

overcome the problems and the peculiarities of multigrade education. Use
various teaching methods like grouping, individualized instruction,
independent study, team-teaching, group project work, and peer tutoring.

59. If you were assigned to teach in a multigrade class, how will you plan to address the needs
of your students?

 Teacher must be able to develop skills and inculcate desirable values and
attitudes among pupils. Versatile and utilize different teaching strategies to
make learning meaningful and effective for all students in my classroom, no
matter what individual differences may exist among the students. Teachers
should be able to understand the differences between pupils. We should
motivate them to learn and guide them through their learning materials.

60. Why is it important for teachers to know the multiple intelligence profile of their
students?

 So that the teacher will know the strength, weaknesses and interest of her
students. By knowing this, the teacher can use an appropriate teaching
strategies that will meet their needs and interest. When teacher know her
student’s weaknesses she can help them to overcome those weaknesses and
help students to be academically successful. To provide a fascinating snapshot
of your student’s innate abilities. It’s important to explain to students that they
should think about how to use their strengths to help them in all subjects.

61. What are examples of instructional strategies that can be used in designing MI
classrooms?

 Create learning station – provide different types of content by setting up

learning stations. Divided sections of your classroom through which groups of
students rotate. You can facilitate this with a flexible seating plan. Each station
should use a unique method of teaching a skill or concept related to your
lesson. Share your own strengths and weaknesses, group students with
different learning styles, give different sets of reading comprehension
activities and encourage students to propose ideas for their projects.

62. How can we design curriculum that addresses multiple intelligences of students?
  Introduce subject matter in a way that gives students the flexibility to think
on their own terms. By differentiating learning tools that can help students to
choose the sources they learn from best. The goal is to shift focus of the
classroom from traditional teacher-centered lectures to students independent
thinking.

63. How can learner-centered education be applied in instructional planning?

 Learner centered education be applied in instructional planning by

allowing students to share in decision making. Placing students at the center
of their own learning requires their collaboration. They need a voice in why,
what, and how learning experience take shape. Why is about relevance,
learners need to understand the value of the subject, vocabulary and skills
before they are willing to invest effort. What is learned involves students
choosing the focus of content and How learning will be demonstrated depends
on the different ways that students processing understanding.

64. What are examples of instructional strategies that are learner centered?
The examples of instructional strategies that are learner-centered are:

 Cooperative – cooperative learning involves small groups working together

to accomplish a learning task.

need more information, let them to find it.
 Experiments – design experiments and have students engage or ask
students to design the experiment.
 Role Play – allows learners to try out the experience it can be instructor
created or learner created.
 Project – a project simulates what a learner could do at the workplace. It
could be also a service project where students create positive change.

The example of constructivist teaching strategies and approaches are:
 Experimentation – students individually perform an experiment and then
come together as a class to discuss the results.
 Research Projects – students research a topic and can present their
findings to the class.
 Field Trip - this allow students to put the concepts and ideas discussed in
class in a real world context. Field trip would often be followed by class
discussions.
 Films – these provide visual context and thus bring another sense into the
learning experience.
 Class discussions – this technique is used in all of the methods described
above. It is one of the most important distinctions of constructivist teaching
methods.

66. What teaching strategies can be used to implement brain-based education principles?
These are the teaching strategies that can be used to implement brain-based education
principles:
 Utilizing passive attention – engaging the mind, keeping it active without
having to directly engage the individual, the more work the learner will actually
have done. Teach students to fish for themselves rather than feeding them with
fish.
 Designing Flow and Fluency – the alignment of content, delivery of content
and desired outcome within instruction leads to higher student’s achievement.
 Connecting parts to whole – change the way learner processes information
from parts to whole or from whole to parts and you will increase their
achievements.
 Generating illustrations – using illustrations to capture the essence of an
idea, a lesson or a discussion enhances long-term memory causing it to be up to
four times more effective.
 Encourage student learning generated learning – student retain more
information when they are able to generate examples of learning rather than
when the instructor generates examples.
 Using small and large groups – more learning occurs when students are
actively engaged in strategically arranged groups.
 Applying emotion and elaboration – if students are to develop long-term
memory recall and understanding, they need to attach the new learning to
something of value to them.
 Keeping mind engage – when you insert well-timed transitions and breaks
in the lesson, students will retain information with more success than if you did
not.

67. How can teachers organize instruction for brain-based education?

 Teachers organize instruction for brain-based education by organizing the

materials that will be outside the focus of learner’s attention. Teacher should
engage the interest and enthusiasm of students through their own
enthusiasm, coaching and modelling.

68. How can teachers encourage students to used ICT responsibly?

 Teachers should teach them explicitly how to protect themselves in terms

of using ICT. Introducing them to be responsible and ethical ICT user within
the early years of primary school. Remind them not to share private details
