INTRODUCTION

One of the final actions that an education major must complete to attain a degree is

student teaching. This is usually completed under the supervision of an experienced teacher in a

classroom setting. During this period, the student teacher is exposed to school climate, student

behavior, curriculum development, instructional methods, grading systems, etc.

Student teaching is important for soon-to-be teachers, and they should make the most of

their experience, trying to learn as much as they possibly can from the experienced teacher.

Experienced teachers possess a wealth of information available to student teachers. These more

experienced teachers are there to help the student teacher through some of the issues that will

occur during the student-teaching period, and inevitably, this advice and these experiences will

help a student through the challenges of their first year in the classroom.

For student teachers, this period is generally very similar to an internship, but it is one

that is really hands-on where individuals get to experience the role of teacher as they have never

before. Yes, these individuals have sat through class after class, but nothing like student teaching

will prepare one for the rigors of the teaching profession.

The student teaching experience provides teacher candidates with the chance to practice

recently learned instruction and classroom management techniques, while receiving feedback

from the cooperating teacher and university supervisor. While sometimes the feedback can be

hard to take, it is important to keep an open mind.


Some student teachers do well from the start and their supervisor or cooperating teacher

may not have any real criticism to offer. While that may seem like a positive situation, it really

robs the student teacher of the opportunity for continued growth. If the supervisor or cooperating

teacher is only complimentary, thank them, but ask for suggestions about what to work on next,

or which other professional development resources might be helpful for ongoing improvement.

The student teaching experience provides an opportunity for practice, personalized

feedback, and professional growth. Students teachers will learn the most from their teaching

evaluations if they approach them with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES


HISTORY
The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (Filipino: Politeknikong Unibersidad ng
Pilipinas) commonly known as PUP is a state university in the Philippines. It was founded on
October 19, 1904 as the Manila Business School, offering commerce-related courses. The
university offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in accountancy, engineering, political
science, social science, business, arts, agriculture, media and communication and associate
programs. The University is among the leading universities in the Philippines.

The main campus is located at Santa Mesa, Manila, along the Pasig River. The PUP
Manila consists of three sub-campuses named Mabini, NDC and M.H. del Pilar. The house
where Mabini died is now located in the campus of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
The simple nipa house retains the original furniture, and some of the books he wrote, and also
contains souvenir items, while hosting the municipal library and reading facilities, hence, the
main campus is named after Mabini. Some campuses are located on the other side of the
metropolis and the rest are located across the country. The Polytechnic University of the
Philippines System is among the state universities in the Philippines with the lowest tuition.

History
(1904-1951)
Take a journey to the University's humble beginnings as it started being a business school.

1904
In response to the demand for training personnel for the government service and to the felt need
to provide skills essential for private business employment, the Manila Business School (MBS)
was founded on October 1904 as part of a City School system under the superintendence of CA
O'Reilley.

It offered the prescribed intermediate curriculum and such vocational-technical courses as


typing, bookkeeping, stenography, and telegraphy.

1908
On account of the fact that the great majority of its students came from the province, the MBS
was made into an Insular (or national) school and accordingly renamed Philippine School of
Commerce (PSC). At first, the intermediate curriculum was prescribed in addition to subjects
such as typewriting, bookkeeping, and stenography. Afterwards a four-year secondary course in
commerce was offered in addition to the courses in Bookkeeping, Stenography, Typewriting and
Telegraphy.

1911
The PSC was placed again under the supervision of the Superintendent of City Schools for
Administrative purposes only, but retained its status as an Insular school. The PSC produced its
first batch of high school graduates. During this year the course in telegraphy was discontinued
since the Telegraph School of the Bureau of Posts offered better facilities.

1912
The PSC offered a one-year course in Stenography for high school graduates. The course proved
to be successful and popular because of its positive results. Those who took the course got easily
employed as stenographers and later as office managers.

1917
To keep in step with changing conditions, the PSC started revising its courses of study. Under
the leadership of Acting Principal Luis F. Reyes, it continually raised its general requisites. To
enable young people employed during the daytime to acquire further training, it opened night
classes (These classes would be discontinued in 1932 because of the government's retrenchment
policy).

From 1904, the PSC has known several homes: an old Spanish building located at the foot of a
small bridge at San Rafael Street, near the Mapa High School to an old house at the corner at
Dulungbayan Street (now Rizal Avenue) and Dolores Street (now Bustos Street), Santa Cruz,
Manila. Two years later, it was transferred to Gunao Street, corner Arlegui in Quiapo, in the
building which now housed the Manila Blue Printing. At the end of another two years, it found
itself in a building in General Solano Street, San Miguel, formerly occupied by the Bureau of
Audits and the Philippine Senate where it had the consolation of staying for four years. A
building behind the San Miguel Church was its next destination where it stayed for about twelve
years. Then back to the Gen. Solano Building. In this last place, it remained for seven years up
to 1933.

1933
The PSC was merged with the Philippine Normal School (PNS) and the Philippine School of
Arts and Trades. During the merger, which lasted for 12 years, it operated under the supervision
and administration of the PNS Superintendent. The PSC students who completed their respective
courses were considered graduates of the PNS. The PSC replaced its secondary curriculum with
a two-year junior college curriculum.

1940
The existence of PSC caught the attention of then President Manuel L. Quezon. In his
graduation address at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on March 26, 1940, he said in part (addressing
the graduates of the School of Commerce):

"I can tell you why you are forgotten on these occasions. It is because you do not belong here...
I will do my best to get the National Assembly to set aside a special appropriation for a building
for the School of Commerce, so that graduates of this school will henceforth be where they can
be noticed."

1942
Subsequently, then Congressman Manuel A. Alazarte, with then department head Luis F. Reyes,
formulated a bill to this effect and was presented to Congress. Unfortunately the Pacific War
broke out. The plan was not carried out.

During the war years, the PSC was among those institutions of learning compelled to declare a
blackout on culture.

1946
Shortly after liberation, Superintendent Luis F. Reyes resumed tasks for the re-establishment and
rehabilitation of the school. The appeal was returned with more than eight thousand pesos
allocation received from the national funds of the Bureau of Public Works for purposes of repairs
and maintenance of public buildings.

The ruins of the Normal Hall building was turned into an improvised house of learning and on
August 4, 1946, it was able to open formally regular classes to surprisingly eager students. The
PSC offered one-year and two-year courses in retailing merchandising and a complete four-year
course in distributive arts education.

1947
Meanwhile, the PNS found it necessary to use the Normal Hall building as a dormitory. PSC, in
turn, resigned to its lot of again working in humble crowded rooms. This drove school
authorities to seek remedies for this unbearable situation. Representations were made to the
Philippine Alien Property Administrator, through Malacañang and the Department of Foreign
Affairs, for the acquisition of the Lepanto site.

Such representations were so intensified that on July 31, 1947 the two buildings in Lepanto (now
S.H. Loyola) Street in Sampaloc, Manila were turned over to the Philippine Government for the
exclusive use of the PSC. The School began to move and on August 4 the official transfer was
effected.

Luis F. Reyes was appointed PSC Superintendent.

1948
The PSC acquired the P.E. grounds, also on S.H. Loyola Street.

1949
Republic Act No. 415 was passed, providing for the establishment of teacher-training
departments in government schools. The PSC was one of the beneficiaries of the said Act.

1951
Three departments were organized: Teacher Training, Business Education, and Research.

When the Philippine Educational System celebrated its Golden Jubilee, the PSC was awarded a
plaque in recognition of its achievement "for bold and successful pioneering in vocational
business education."

(1952-1971)
This period covers the time where the business school became a college whose main thrust is in
commerce.

1952
Through Republic Act (RA) 778 passed by both houses of Congress on May 20, 1952 and signed
by then Philippine President Elpidio Quirino on June 21, 1952, the PSC was converted into the
Philippine College of Commerce (PCC), with Luis F. Reyes as its first president. The PCC
broadened its program offerings with the inclusion of undergraduate courses in commerce and
related fields.

1954
This Institution celebrated its Golden Jubilee.

1955
For its "dynamic leadership in vocational business education", the PCC was conferred by the
Business Writers Association of the Philippines the title of "Business College of the Year."

The Annex Building (also in S.H. Loyola St.), which had housed the Congress of the Philippines,
was officially turned over to PCC.

1956
When Reyes retired, Prof. Pacifico A. Velilla took over the PCC presidency.

1960
Atty. Victor dela Torre was designated Acting College President.

1962
Immediately after assuming the presidency, Dr. Nemesio E. Prudente established an Advisory
Committee for the President, a CPA review class, a scholarship committee, and a codified set of
rules and regulations for the College.

1963
The College Code was printed, the Public Relations Program established, and the first issue of
the PCC Faculty Journal published. Other initiatives taken during that school year include:
 Inclusion of more liberal arts courses in the curriculum;
 Establishment of the Book Bank and the Student Loan Fund;
 Elevation of high school teachers to the rank of Assistant Instructor; and
 Establishment of the Junior Executive Training Program.
1965
Through Pres. Diosdado Macapagal's proclamation, the Pandacan site of the Bureau of Animal
Industry was reserved for PCC's use. The student assistantship program was instituted and a
system of financial aid was introduced. Instructors with masteral and doctoral degrees were, as a
matter of policy, automatically promoted to Assistant Professor 1 and Assistant Professor 2,
respectively.

1967
Important developments during that school year include:
 The reservation, through Pres. Ferdinand Marcos' declaration, of a 10-hectare lot in
Bicutan, Taguig for PCC use;
 The adoption of a policy of student involvement in PCC's official functions;
 Revision of courses of study; and
 Enrichment of the traditional vocational course with more liberal arts and cultural courses
aimed at the PCC students' holistic education as well as the reinforcement of classroom
learning with varied co-curricular activities.

1968
The development of the preceding school year led to the rise of social consciousness among the
PCC constituents and to the revision of the college charter by the passage of RA No. 6980
authorizing the offering of courses in the social sciences related to business education. Besides,
the Sta. Mesa (A. Mabini) Campus was assigned for the use and disposition of the PCC. Also,
the titles of the lots on S.H. Loyola St. were awarded to PCC through congressional legislation.

1969
Initiatives included the following:
 Appointment of the president of the Supreme Student Council as member of the Board of
Trustees (now Board of Regents);
 Offering of the following in lieu of the two-year basic commercial course: Bachelor of
Arts, Master of Arts, and Master of Business Administration; and
 Securing the exemption of PCC personnel from civil service rules and regulation as well
as from the application of the Wage and Position Classification Office (WAPCO) criteria.
 Short-term courses in Electronic Data Processing (EDP) were offered under the Faculty
of Accountancy.

1971
Among the important developments were:
 Revision of the College Code;
 Transfer of the Laboratory High School from S.H. Loyola Campus to A. Mabini Campus;
and
 Creation of the Katipunan Foundation, Inc.

(1972-1985)
The institution's transformation from a college into a university happened during these period.
1972
When martial law was declared, Dr. Narciso Albaraccin, Jr. was designated Officer-in-Charge
(OIC), with Dr. Pablo T. Mateo, Jr. as Performance Officer. Among the changes under
Albaraccin were:
 Abolition of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences;
 Introduction of several new courses, including technology and occupational education;
 Reorganization of different Faculties; and
 Offering of a five-year curriculum in Accounting.

1973
Dr. Isabelo T. Crisostomo succeeded Albaraccin as OIC.

1974
The following developments came in the wake of Dr. Crisostomo's appointment as Acting
President:
• Offering of Bachelor of Business Administration and General Administration;
• Completion of phase 1 of the gymnasium;
• Establishment of the Center for Skills and Rural Industries Development (CSRID), which
was designed to give out-of-school youths skill training for gainful employment and in
the production of export products using indigenous raw materials in their communities;
• Construction of the marble pylon and the Mabini Circle; and
• Creation of a unit to handle short courses in Electronic Data Processing (EDP).

1975
The PCC opened its branch in the Bataan Export Processing Zone (BEPZ), Mariveles, Bataan.

1976
The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) was reestablished, the Master of Public Administration
(MPA) and the Master in Economics (ME) programs were added in the Graduate School, and the
various offices were re-structured.

1977
After Dr. Mateo became president in May 1977, the ladder program was expanded to all degree
courses; 13 additional degree courses using the ladder approach were introduced. The "techno-
business" curriculum was developed, and introduced were adult business education and non-
degree courses in business/distributive arts.

1978
Through Presidential Decree (PD) 1341, PCC was converted into a chartered state university and
accordingly renamed Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP). This led to the
broadening of course offerings and the restructure/streamlining of the University's administrative
organization.

1979
Among the accomplishments of this period were:
 Face-lifting of A. Mabini Campus through construction of the main library, the
University canteen, the ecumenical chapel (Interfaith Chapel), and the 3rd, 4th, and
portion of the 5th floors of the XYZ building (Main building in Mabini Campus);
 Establishment of a branch in Lopez, Quezon (June 1979);
 Revision of undergraduate curricular programs;
 Establishment of consortia with the Construction Industry Board for the Opening of
Master in Applied Statistics, the Philippine Normal College for the conduct of teacher
education courses in PUP Lopez, and La Consolacion College for a program in
Cooperatives;
 Expansion of graduate programs to include masteral programs in Public Administration
(MPA), Public and Business Administration (MPBA), Economics (ME), Accountancy
(MAC), as well as doctoral programs in Public Administration (DPA) and Business
Administration (DBA);
 Creation of the Institute of Technology;
 Introduction of ladderized baccalaureate courses in Tourism, Hotel and Restaurant
Management, Office Administration, Government Accounting, and Library Science; and
 Start of the PUP Review Center (Summer 1981).
 The EDP/Computer Data Processing Management (CDPM) unit was created under the
Faculty of Business and Cooperatives. It started to offer a four-year ladderized course,
known as Bachelor in Computer Data Processing Management (BCDPM).

1983
In spite of the country's economic difficulties, PUP's 71 ladderized technical and professional
programs continued to be viable. There were significant accomplishments like:
 Introduction of Bachelor of Human Behavior Technology (BHBT) under the FAS;
 Inclusion of a course in computers in all degree programs;
 Revival of the PUP Student Council, drafting of its Constitution and By-Laws by the
Student Constitutional Convention and the ratification of this by the studentry; and
 Consortium with the NMPC as well as international linkages through PASUC-Texas
Consortium, the Association of Asian Institutes of Higher Learning, the Regional
Institute for Higher Educational Development, the International Association of
Universities, and the UNESCO.

1984
The University underwent reorganization. It adopted the "cluster colleges" set-up, where each
college prepared the program and supervised all the subjects required in the degree program
offered in the college. It set up a University Center for Technological Research, the function of
which was to conduct research and produce inventions/innovations in technology areas most
needed by the communities served by PUP. For lack of sufficient rooms, laboratories, and
related facilities, the University considered the completion of the 5th floor of the XYZ-Main
Academic Building a top priority in its infrastructure program.

The PUP also established a tie-up with the University of Life in the training of trainors/project
managers needed in the KKK program, as well as with the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of
Local Government and Community Development, and the NACIDA in these agencies'
continuing training program to upgrade their personnel.
1985
That school year was an uneasy one...

(1986-1990)
This period brought about a dramatic change in the University firming its commitment to the role
of education as an equalizing factor.

1986
In April 1986, the PUP presidency was reassumed by Dr. Nemesio E. Prudente, who has seen
university education as an equalizing instrument that would enable the children of the
economically disadvantaged to climb up the ladder of society - and to counterbalance the
dominating influence of the affluent few in the nation's day-to-day affairs as well as help greatly
in charting its long-term destiny.

Dr. Prudente had the PUP philosophy, mission, and strategies formulated by a multi-sectoral
committee; a new PUP logo designed; a new PUP hymn composed; and the
administrative/academic organization restructured. This led to the renaming/raising of the
following departments of the University:

FROM TO
Electronic Data Processing (an area in the College of Computer Management and
College of Business) Information Technology (CCMIT)
Institute of Hotel and Restaurant Management College of Hotel and Restaurant Management /
Food Science and Technology (CHRMFST)
Physical Education and Sports College of Physical Education and Sports
(CPES)
Institute of Economics, Banking, and Finance College of Economics and Politics (CEP)
Institute of Technology College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA)

It also led to the creation of the College of Languages and Mass Communications (CLMC), the
Institute of Social History (ISH), and the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations (ILIR).

New graduate programs were introduced:

 Master in Industrial Engineering and Management (MIEM),


 Master of Arts in Psychology (MAP), and
 Master in Educational Management (MEM).

Aside from this, the nontraditional masteral programs in Business Administration were
strengthened.
In PUP Manila, the Community Relations Office was created under the Public Affairs Office and
the community outreach programs of the branches were strengthened.

University governance was democratized. The Academic Council was expanded to include not
only full professors but associate and assistant professors as well. The open-door policy was
institutionalized, the University Code revised, and the PUP Five-Year Development Plan (1987-
1992) drafted.

The University increased enrollment at all levels as well as the number of scholarships and
financial aid grants; it also offered short-term technical-vocational courses and maintained its
laboratory high school.

The University improved its instructional, co-curricular, and administrative facilities; it also
acquired more and bigger campuses.

Trends, the institution's official professional journal of ideas was revived.

1987
The developments during this school year include:
 Recognition of KAWANI, an employee's union;
 Offering in Doctor in Educational Management (DEM), Master in Physical Education,
Dance, and Recreation (MPEDR), and Master in Psychology (MAP);

the PICUAA;
 Implementation of national government circulars effecting salary adjustments based on
merit;
 Sending of personnel, on official time, to seminars / workshops and conferences outside
the University;

 Increase of faculty / student newsletters;
 The degree Bachelor in Information Technology (BIT) was offered;
 Establishment of the University Center for Human Rights Education (UCHURE); and
 Improved physical set-up / acquisition of more facilities for the PUP Printing Press.

1988
The Administration stepped up efforts to develop the physical facilities for PUP Manila and the
branches. It also followed up the acquisition of the 10-hectare lot of the National Development
Company which is adjacent to the University's A. Mabini Campus in Sta. Mesa, Manila. It
likewise followed up bills in Congress, such as those...

1. Seeking to grant faculty members and students participation in University decision-


making as full-pledge members of their school's Board of Regents and Trustees;
2. Granting financial autonomy to state universities and colleges;
3. Establishing PUP extensions / branches in Taguig (Metro Manila), Romblon, and
Masbate; and
4. Establishing a national mass communications center in PUP Manila.

The University established centers and institution for special studies with their respective
academic journals as well as consortia, linkages, and joint projects with local and international
agencies. It implemented its yearly evaluation and merit promotion scheme for the faculty and
administrative staffs. And it conferred doctoral degrees, honoris casua, to four prominent
personages.

Other developments:

 Offering of a graduate extension program in PUP BEPZ;


 Offering of more nontraditional courses
 Adoption of the policy requiring a masteral degree for a faculty member to qualify for
permanent position;
 Getting by PUP graduates of a passing mark of 81.5% in Licensure Examination for
Nutritionists / Dieticians, which was twice the national passing mark of 40.5%;
 Offering of refresher courses by College of Accountancy (CA) and the College of
Engineering and Architecture (CEA) to prepare PUP students for board examinations;
and
 Printing of more publications, such as Trends, Bisig, Journal of Economics and Politics,
Journal of Social History, PUP Profiles, PUP Campus Observer, and the Graduate Forum.

PUP continued to dominate the SCUAA and the PICUAA. The PUP Banda Kawayan was made
the official entertainer of the Philippine Pavilion Hotel during the opening of the World
Exposition '88 in Brisbane, Australia, and the Bagong Himig again emerged as the champion in
the national choral singing competition.

1989
The PUP Graduate School introduced a nontraditional program to the degree of Master in
Economics.

PUP Manila started to offer traditional baccalaureate degree programs in Sociology, Political
Science, and Cooperatives. PUP Lopez, on the other hand, introduced two additional courses:

Colleges

The academic units of the University are called colleges or institutes. These units offer
undergraduate degrees and/or postgraduate diplomas on their specific fields of specialization.
Aside from the colleges, the University maintains a separate Graduate School which offers
graduate degrees. The Graduate School is a multidisciplinary institution. The oldest college of
the PUP is the College of Education which is the predecessor of all the degree-granting units. An
institute is a smaller unit, although it has the same footing as a full-fledged college. When an
institute gained enough student number and academic programs, the Board of Regents will
decide if they will elevate it into a college. The last institute of PUP was the Institute of
Cooperatives, which was converted as the College of Cooperatives in 2006.

The Colleges and the Graduate School are headed by their respective deans, who is appointed by
the Board of Regents of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The dean acts as the head
of the faculty of his college and assumes administrative works assigned by the Board. The dean
has tenure of three years, which, may be extended up to two terms upon reappointment. The
University’s 18 degree granting units are the following, together with their further academic

LAGRO HIGH SCHOOL

PHILOSOPHY
The development of the young into an intelligent, morally upright, responsible and

productive member of the society is the main focus of education. For this reason, Lagro High

School believes that every Filipino high school age youth must be given the right to quality

instruction in a compassionate and caring environment.

VISION

Lagro High School is an educational institution that produces academically competent,

morally upright and vocationally prepared citizens of the society.

MISSION
To ensure the maximum intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth of the child

and strengthen moral foundations through relevant and adequate learning experiences in a

nurturing and caring school environment.


HISTORY OF LAGRO HIGH SCHOOL

In the early seventies, the growing number of people in the GSIS La Mesa Homeowners
Association (GLAMEHA) triggered the need for a high school in Lagro Subdivision. The
officers of GLAMEHA requested fervently for an establishment of a high school next to Lagro
Elementary School. With the aid of the city government and the education bureau, Novaliches
High School with Mr. Florencio Dumlao as principal started accepting students. This high school
annex started on June 13, 1974 with 87 students and a facility, which were humbly two housing
units in Block 59 and chairs the students provided themselves.

On August 26 of the same year, Lagro Annex was transferred to the Lagro Elementary
School compound and occupied the sawali-walled makeshift building. The high school was then
headed by Mr. Crispulo A. Pilar with Mr. Narciso M. Caingat, Mrs. Nilfa C. Caingat and Mrs.
Greta Manlapig as pioneer teachers.

Two years after, the enrolment rose to 249 from the former 87 with three sections in first
year, two in second year, and one in third year. They were all managed to stay in just four
classrooms guided by nine teachers.

The first graduation from this high school happened two years after with an increased
enrolment of 461 with Mrs. Josefa Q. Maglipon, head of the Home Economics Department in
Novaliches High School, who replaced Mr. Pilar(who left for the United States).

The School Year 1977-1978 reached 774 with 15 sections occupying seven classrooms.
With this problem on accommodation, Mr. Florencio Dumlao appealed to the national
government for a Lagro Annex Building. Through the unrelenting efforts of the department
head-in-charge and with the PTA lobbying behind, the 1.3 hectare present school site, and
building became a reality.
At the opening of classes on June 11, 1978, 923 students flocked the newly constructed
building which was a two-story 18-room structure standing proudly with Mrs. Maglipon as head
of the school. She was replaced with Mr. Silverio Reinoso. Mr. Reinoso had to continue with the
challenge to manage 19 sections of students with just 32 teachers.

It was the significant day of September 1, 1978 that Lagro High School was inaugurated
by Mrs. Commemoracion M. Concepcion, the former schools division superintendent. Thus, it
has become its foundation day.

Hand in hand with the influx of residents in Lagro Subdivision is the continuous increase
of student population. And to accommodate this increasing population, a six-room building on
the southern site of the campus was constructed. The school then also improved with the
completion of concrete fences surrounding the campus, construction of the stage and the new
steel flagpole, all to house and educate the community.

Mr. Reinoso was replaced by Mrs. Virginia H. Cerrudo on September of 1981.

Mrs. Cerrudo was replaced with Ms. Felicidad C. Gutierrez in 1987 bringing another
building funded by the city government. The same year created the Lagro High School-Payatas
Annex with 257 students. This annex was assigned to Mrs. Sheridan Evangelista, who was then
the Social Studies Department Head of the Main School.

Promoted as Principal IV, Ms. Gutierres was transferred to E. Rodriguez Jr. High School.
Mr. William S. Barcena took her place as the principal of Lagro High School on June 1991.

Three years after, Mr. Barcena was replaced by Mrs. Cristina C. Monis, the General
Education Supervisor I-English, as Officer-In-Charge on January 8, 1993.

Mr. Gil T. Magbanua replaced Mrs. Monis on June 13, 1993


To accommodate the continuous increasing enrollees, the three-story building funded by the
Quezon City Government was constructed. The third Annex in Fairview was finally opened with
Mrs. Justina A. Farolan as the Teacher-In-Charge.
Dr. Consolacion C. Montano replaced Dr. Gil Magbanua later on with more
improvements.

Mrs. Sheridan Evangelista made her comeback as the principal of Lagro High School in
1998 with improved facilities and technology advancements for the school.

The dawn of more improvements was realized when Dr. Fernando C. Javier became the
principal in April 2003. The construction of the new building previously applied by Mrs.
Sheridan Evangelista was built and inaugurated by the successor, Dr. Javier. The SB Building
and the full renovation of the formerly called Social Hall was transformed into a multi-purpose
conference room conveniently equipped with multimedia projectors and modern sound
technology now being utilized for events, seminars, workshops by the whole division. The
construction of the new gate, renovations of all facilities and the covered court; Lagro High
School now boasts of not only its talents but it’s conducive learning ambience sure to provide
every learner more motivation to pursue his dreams.

Lagro High School reaped achievements in the district, division, regional and national
competition under Dr. Javier. The Bureau of Alternative Learning System was established and
soon after the Open High School. The Special Education Program was established accepting deaf
and blind students. The Guidance Program was also enhanced and improved with the
administration of Dr. Javier. International competitions, speech and debate contests sponsored by
the government and private companies, Palarong Pambansa, National Schools Press Conference
and the creation of the Special Program in the Arts which annually showcases talents in its
culminating activities.

Today, as we speak, Lagro High School does not only have a growing number of
enrollees but also consistently develops as a community that consists of highly competitive and
productive members.

Teacher – Tested Tips

Advice for Student Teachers

As a current student teacher with an amazing cooperating teacher, I thought I'd share some tips
on how to have a positive student teaching experience!

1. Let your cooperating teacher know YOUR expectations upfront. Most student teachers
feel that they don't have a say in what goes on, but you do.
2. Remind him/her (nicely) that you are there to learn a variety of teaching methods and that
you are trying to develop your own teaching style not necessarily just take on his/hers.
3. Jump in right away! Even if you aren't supposed to begin teaching for a while get up and
join in. You will gain respect from the teacher and the students. Offer right away to do
small tasks such as grading papers or organizing morning work.
4. Treat the students as if you are the actual teacher. Many student teachers try to become
friends with them first and when it comes time to teach they have no control.
5. Go with your cooperating teacher everywhere! Sit in on parent/teacher conferences and
see if it's okay to observe a child study team in action. This is all part of teaching and you
should have experience with this also!
6. Stay in contact with your professor or advisor on a regular basis. If you only see him/her
on days they are there to observe, you will be more nervous.
7. Always try your best! I know it's scary to have people constantly observing you but if
you are doing your best whether or not they are there it won't be as scary!
8. Don't be afraid to integrate some of your own teaching techniques or classroom
management skills. Your cooperating teacher might just learn a new technique from you!
9. Try to get student input about your lessons. If you aren't sure how your lesson went, ask
one or two students what they thought. Sometimes they have wonderful suggestions!
10. Always plan too much. Since we don't have much experience organzing lessons
according to class time, it's better to have too much planned then to have the students
sitting there with nothing to do.

More Tips for Supervising Teachers


by: Leanne, Secondary

Having just completed a practicum experience, I thought I might add a couple of tips: **
1. If you're in a school were students need to trust teachers before they warm to teachers, tell the
student teacher ** 2. If your class is very possessive of you, consider team teaching - this will
make it a less traumatic experience for both the class and the student teacher ** 3. If your
teaching style (particularly in behaviour management) is vastly different from your prac teachers,
warn them that the students may react negatively to change and tell the student teacher what has
been working well for you and the routines that you already have established in a class -
particularly with difficult classes. Let the student teacher decide how they will handle the class
** 4. Remember that the student teacher is still a student, is nervous and is probably highly
critical of themselves. Emphasise the positives of their teaching methodology and give gentle
suggestions on how they can improve (don't tell them they're doing something wrong without
having a suggestion for how it could be improved) ** 5. Allocate a few minutes in the morning
each day for the student teacher to discuss lessons, contents and any other concerns.

Take Time To Know Them


by: T. Wide, All

Take time to know the student teacher as a person, separate from the class. Then when
possible share some positive tidbits with your students and together begin to make the student
teacher a part of the class.

Things to Remember
by: todlyn

Having been on both ends of the experience I can't say enough about how important your
role will be in shaping this new teacher. ** My own student teaching experience was lack-luster.
My cooperating teacher thought of me as her ticket out of the classroom. I saw her in the
morning, and then she was gone for hours. She gave me very little feed back. In fact, the two
major things I garnered from the experience were that I was truly unprepared for the task I had
undertaken, and, secondly, I did not know what to do about it. The only word of advice I
remember her giving me was that I needed to improve my handwriting. Like that was going to
radically improve my teaching! ** As I have continued in teaching, I have also had the chance to
serve as a cooperating teacher. From these experiences I would recommend that you: 1) provide
an open environment in which your student is able to make mistakes without fear of judgement.
** 2. guide them gently into more effective practices when mistakes are made. ** 3. monitor and
make notes on anything that you think you and your student need to discuss regarding their
teaching during your planning period or at the end of the day. Make sure you include lots of
positive feedback, too. We all need encouragement. ** 4. never assume that your student knows
anything, that includes the CONTENT they are going to teach. (I have just jumped up to fifth
grade and am going through a re-education of sorts. Can you believe that some statistics
professor forgot to inform me of Pascal's triangle, or better yet that I am teaching it to 10 year-
olds!) ** 5. teach your student how to incorporate the standards used in your state if applicable.
** 6. require them to do their own classroom and behavior management. ** 7. provide any
pointers for managing those mountains of paper we all know and love. Include information on
grading, filing, and parent communications. ** 8. stress the importance of parent involvement
and community relations, such as weekly class newsletters, class webpages, etc, ** 9. have a
work area set up for your student that includes the office basics such as note pads, stapler,
WhiteOut, etc. ** 10. don't walk out and leave him/her. I know you won't do this, or you would
not have bother posting this message in the first place. Be sure to provide emotional support as
well as a presence in the classroom, too.

How to Be a Good Student Teacher


By an eHow Contributor updated: February 04, 2011

Your student teaching year can be physically and emotionally exhausting. A good student
teacher will still manage to be responsible, independent, committed to education, and keep a
good sense of humor.

1. Consult at length with your master teacher at the start of the term. Be sure you
know what his or her philosophy of teaching and classroom objectives are before you
make large plans for classroom activities.

2. Make arrangements with your master teacher to take a few minutes each day to
discuss classroom events, possible future activities, and procedure.

3. Inform yourself about any particular school regulations that you and your students
must abide by. Know the rules by heart so you can give definite answers to your
students, who will be testing your authority.

4. Familiarize yourself with relevant legal issues, such as those concerning child
abuse, substance abuse and sexual harassment among students.
5. Show genuine interest in your students' schoolwork and progress, and leave
personal relationships with students to the school counselors.

6. Show initiative and independence by assuming responsibility for the preparation of


individual lessons or entire learning units.

7. Show resourcefulness by gathering materials and introducing educational methods


you are learning in your graduate studies.

Student Teaching Tips

5 Keys to Success
Submitted by Amy from Wisconsin
Grade 1-5; Math Support Teacher

As a second year teacher, I am not much of a stranger to the student teaching experience. In my
opinion, if you keep the following five points in mind, you will be sure to experience success.

#1 Be Original! Teachers, staff members, and administration will appreciate someone who
brings a unique personality to the student teaching experience. Teachers aren’t looking for a
carbon copy of themselves, so be yourself.

#2 Be Innovative! This is your time to take all that you have learned and apply it to your
teaching. Let the knowledge, ideas, and experiences you acquired along the way fuel your
teaching. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Ask your cooperating teacher to allow you to try that
lesson or activity you worked so hard to create.

#3 Collaborate! It is very important to network with all teachers, staff members, and
administrators within the school community. The young teachers who go the extra mile to
collaborate are the ones remembered down the road for prospective positions.

#4 Be Dedicated! Always show a passion for what you do. Take advantage of opportunities to
become involved with activities outside of school if possible. Schools will applaud the efforts of
someone who always is willing to give 110%
#5 Have fun! You can do all of the things above, but will be missing out on one of the greatest
aspects of the education profession if you forget to have fun. Enjoy the students; they will make
you smile every day. Enjoy your colleagues; they are wonderful role models. Enjoy the
experience; it is something that you will carry along into your teaching career!

16 Top Tips
Submitted by Catherine from New Jersey
Primary Teacher

1. Let your cooperating teacher know YOUR expectations upfront. Most student teachers
feel that they don't have a say in what goes on, but you do.

2. Remind him/her (nicely) that you are there to learn a variety of teaching methods and that
you are trying to develop your own teaching style not necessarily just take on his/hers.

3. Go with your cooperating teacher everywhere! Sit in on parent/teacher conferences and

9. Be On Time

10. Dress Appropriately

11. Follow the School Rules

12. Befriend the Office Staff (This is especially important if you believe that you will be
staying in the area and possibly trying for a job at the school where you are teaching.
These people's opinions of you will have an impact on whether or not you are hired. They
can also make your time during student teaching much easier to handle. Don't
underestimate their worth.)

13. Maintain Confidentiality (Remember that if you are taking notes about students or
classroom experiences to turn in for grades, you should either not use their names or
change them to protect their identities. You never know who you are teaching or what
their relationship might be to your instructors and coordinators.)

14. Don't Gossip (It might be tempting to hang out in the teacher lounge and indulge in
gossip about fellow teachers. However, as a student teacher this would be a very risky
choice. You might say something you could regret later. You might find out information
that is untrue and clouds your judgement. You might even offend someone without
realizing it. Remember, these are teachers you could be working with again some day in
the future. )

15. Be Professional With Fellow Teachers (Do not interrupt other teachers' classes without
an absolutely good reason. When you are speaking with your coordinating teacher or
other teachers on campus, treat them with respect. You can learn a lot from these
teachers, and they will be much more likely to share with you if they feel that you are
genuinely interested in them and their experiences. )

16. Don't Wait to the Last Minute to Call in Sick (You will probably get sick at some point
during your student teaching and will need stay home for the day. You must remember
that the regular teacher will have to take over the class during your absence. If you wait
until the last minute to call in, this could leave them in an awkward bind making them
look bad to the students. Call as soon as you believe you will not be able to make it to
class.)

6 Tips from 10-Year Teacher


Submitted by Angela from North Carolina
Second Grade Teacher

After teaching for more that ten years, there are several things that a student teacher should
know.

1. It is important that you strive to get to know your parents. You should start out by trying
to introduce yourself to all the parents by the end of the first week. It can be a simple
phone call and be sure to tell the parents something good that the child did that week.
This is very important so when you have to call the parent about behavior that is not
good,so that the parent will not think that the only time you call is when the child is
misbehavior.

2. It is also important that you be consistent if whatever behavior plan that you have. If you
say that you are going to do it. You must follow through.
3. Remember that you are dealing with children and even if you do not feel that you are in
control,you need to act like you are.

4. Give positive words to the each child and make him/her feelimportant on a regular basis.
Each child is important and is not a mistake or accident. A lot of children have very low
self-esteem.

5. Even if a child consistently misbehaviors, you must strive to not let the child see how the
behavior affects you. This will come with time and practice.

6. Take time for yourself. It can be walking, reading a novel or a bubblebath. Remember
that tomorrow is another day and that you are making a difference in a child's life.

Prepare for Transition from Student to Teacher


Submitted by Gail from Massachusetts
Third Grade Teacher

My advice for student teachers is start to prepare for making the transition of being a
college student to a student teacher, by purchasing a few clothes to make your wardrobe a little
more professional than your college attire. Also, be sure to have a comfortable pair of shoes on
hand.

Also, since you will be collecting so many wonderful ideas from the teachers you'll be
working with, it may be helpful to have a binder separated by subject to store all of the hand-
outs, worksheets, and ideas offered by your cooperating teacher and his/her colleagues. In
addition, you may want to have a digital camera on hand to take pictures of work you have done
(i.e. bulletin boards), as well as how teachers have set up their classrooms, etc. By the end of
your student teaching practicum, you will have an organized resource that will be a valuable tool
for when you start first teaching position.

Pace yourself, and keep up with your assignments, so that you'll be able to maintain your
social life. Always allow time for making adjustments, especially when preparing to be observed.
You never know when the photocopy machine may break down, or the laminator isn't working,
so you always want to have a back up plan!

Lastly, enjoy your student teaching experience. Go into school with a smile on your face,
and know that you have the greatest job in the world because you can make a difference in
child's life, and have fun while doing it!

Learn from the Best


Submitted by Angie from Louisiana
Third Grade Teacher
As a student teacher, you are very eager and excited to save the world. However, once
you enter the classroom and it is just you and the students it can become overwhelming. My best
advice to you would be before the first day of school, go and meet some of the veteran teachers
at your school. Talk to them about the dynamics of your school. Ask them what has worked well
for them over the years. Then use what they tell you and adapt it to your style. Veteran teachers
are the best resource that you have. Remember kids are people too, and all they want is someone
to love them and guide them. You will be everything they don't have at home while they are with
you. If you respect them, they will perform well and respect you. Good Luck!

Empowerment
Submitted by Tammy from Texas
2nd Grade Teacher and "Toddler Time" Teacher

The most important advice I would share is to empower all (every age group) that you
come in contact with. This is done by really listening and not merely hearing what others are
sharing. Looking into their eyes when you are listening and talking can make a person feel
validated and can even boost their self-esteem. Finally, letting a person keep their dignity when
there may be a misunderstanding can speak volumes of your wisdom and self-control. Do this by
sharing your thoughts and then listening to theirs. Agree to disagree if no resolution on the
particular topic cannot be met. Respect one another and respect yourself enough to let your voice
be heard. Knowledge is wonderful and knowing how to communicate with everyone is superb.
Best wishes to you as you enter the world of teaching and making a difference in the lives of
others.

Sherri's Six Bits of Advice


Submitted by Sherri from Pennsylvania
Second Grade Teacher

1. My advice is to be as organized as you can and do one thing at a time. Know that you
will spend long hours working both before and after school and set a schedule for
yourself so you can stay on top of things, yet still have a life. You still need to eat and
sleep!

2. Keep a notebook for each subject and file everything your cooperating teacher is willing
to share with you in it.

3. Take pictures of bulletin boards and projects to file as well.

4. Ask if you can pick up one subject at a time and give back one at a time to ease the
transition for both yourself and your students.
5. Take constructive criticism constructively and at least try the suggestions. Your
cooperating teacher only wants to see you succeed and has been doing this a lot longer
than you.

6. Finally, enjoy the experience! All the hard work pays off!

Taking Initiative
Another Submission from Kathy from Kentucky
4th Grade Teacher

When you begin student teaching take the initiative, don't wait for the teacher to have to
tell you step by step what to do. Be an observer of the teacher and try to zero in on things to help
them with ahead of time. Help students immediately, this shows you are ready and willing to
assume the role of a teacher. Most great teachers jump right in and help, that is how you learn to
be a great teacher.

Traci's Ten Tips


Submitted by Traci from California
4th Grade Teacher

The TOP TEN Advice List for Student Teachers:

1. Work Hard - put in extra hours.

2. Make a good first impression - smile and introduce yourself to everyone - especially the
school secretaries! Dress appropriately and professionally - you are on one long
interview.

3. Listen and take notes every day.

4. Observe and DO what you are asked to do.

5. Ask questions and listen to the answers, use all that knowledge before proceeding!

6. Go out to recess and watch the students interact with each other - you'll learn a lot that
will help you in the classroom.

7. Stay out of teacher lunch room politics and drama!

8. Be creative and use good lesson plan formats that will be engaging and fun for the
students but include appropriate standards and assessments.

9. Be firm but loving with students from the get go - if they know the limits you are then
able to have fun and smile and laugh with your students and fellow teachers!
10. Stay positive - student teaching isn't forever - soon you will have your own classroom -
remember that's the GOAL!

Keep Them Busy!


Submitted by Vance from Florida
9th Grade English Teacher

Keep the kids busy, academically engaged. Learn what bell to bell teaching means. If you don't
have anything for the kids to do, they will find something to do and that spells T R O U B L E !

Confidence is Key!
Submitted by Karen from New Jersey

MY ADVICE THAT I HAVE FOR A STUDENT TEACHER IS: Be confident. Even if you
don't feel confident, pretend! The students are similar to animals , they can sense your hesitance
or fear. Therefore, establish authority at the beginning. Don't let them get away with being rude
or disrespectful to you or you will have trouble maintaining control in the classroom later on.

ALSO, Get to know the student's names as soon as possible. Use little tricks like taking pictures
or writing down a few names everyday with a few notes about the child, or relate it to their art
work. It is true that you learn the best and the most challenging students's names first, but try
really hard to learn the rest quickly. I think Knowing names helps keep the classroom in order
and keep the students in line. Student's will snap to attention it they hear thier name, but if you
yell "Hey you stop!" across the classroom, they may choose to ignore it.

Fran's Fantastic Tips


Submitted by Fran from Ohio
High School Intervention Specialist

From day one my advice would be: RESPECT! You will receive it as long as you give it in turn-
not only to your peers-most importantly to your students no matter how old they may be. Also to
their parents.

Keep in mind that you are responsible for what matters the most to them in their lives:their
children. College does not "teach" your how to do this-it should be a part of your love for
children.

Always look & act professional- dress and act as though you might always run into someone
involved with school - you never know who you might run into.
Take time for the little extras- positive reinforcement such as "glad you're on time for class
today."

Learn from your peers. You might not always agree with their teaching methods but there might
be something that you will be able to relate to and have a better understanding of as time goes on
in your career.
Yes, you'll be overwhelmed-who isn't when they begin something new. Keep time for yourself
EVERYDAY!!! Even if it's just for a few minutes to do whatever you enjoy doing. This will
help to ease the pressure & clear you mind.

Most important, remember that we cannot save all of them-just be there for them on a daily basis
and you'll be surprised of the difference you can make in their lives.

Sound Advice from a 35-Year Veteran Teacher


Submitted by Deborah from North Carolina
Second Grade Teacher

After teaching for 35 years and loving today more than ever I have found the secret. Keep
up. Do not procrastinate. Use every free minute you have at school to do your work at school.
Organize your system and your time. Let your goal be to do your work at school and when you
leave to go home do not take work with you. Understand now that as a new teacher you will
probably not accomplish this for the first three yaars. During this time period please designate a
day or the weekend to have "school free" taking no work home. You will be a better teacher and
less likely to burn out if you try this. Believe me!

Keep Your Sense of Humor; Ask For Help


Submitted by Cathie from Arkansas
P-4 Special Education

One of the most important things to remember when going into the teaching profession is
to never lose your sense of humor. And plan, plan, plan. Always keep something up your sleeve
to use if you need it. Never be afraid to ask for help. Learn how to dog paddle - forget the triple
flips off the high board.

Two Important Things


Submitted by Christina from Georgia
Special Education Teacher

I would tell new teachers two very important things. The first thing I would tell them is to
go home! Teaching can be a very overwhelming job and if you aren't careful you will find
yourself at work until 6 at night! By recognizing that everything cannot be accomplished in one
day, no matter how tempting it is to try. I would also tell a new teacher to remember that
education is a serious career path and that events are indeed a chance to network with other
teachers or supervisors.

Don't Be Intimidated By the Kids


Submitted by Michelle from New York
Homeschool Teacher

I think that as a student teacher you should make sure not to be intimidated by the kids.
That will show them that they can take advantage of you. I think you should be firm and be able
to listen to the students when they ask questions or have opinions. Make sure you are always
prepared for whatever questions they may have so as to not show that you don't know as much as
them.

Prepare for Your Own Classroom


Submitted by Emily from Minnesota
Third Grade Teacher

Buy a bunch of file folders and as you and your cooperating teacher complete activities
or lessons, make a file folder and label it for that activity. Also, meet with other teachers at other
grade levels to gather materials and ideas. Take photos of bulletin board ideas you like and file
those with lessons to go with them. These resources will be so helpful when you have a
classroom of your own.

Write Everything Down and Take Pictures


Submitted by Janet from Kentucky
Third Grade Teacher

The best advice I would give a student teacher is to write everything down and take
pictures. When I was student teaching, I had a large notebook and I wrote down everything the
teacher wrote on the board, lesson plans, tricks she told me. I also took pictures of classroom
arrangements and bullentin boards. This has been very helpful when trying to arrange my room
and ideas for displays.

Be Creative. Try New Things


Submitted by Doresa from Georgia
Kindergarten Teacher

Not many times in life do you get a "test run". Use it to your advantage. Be creative. Do
the things you really thought about doing in your head. You get an opportunity to test out those
ideas in a safe environment with a level of support and encouragement you may have a hard time
finding again. Use this opportunity for all that you can get out of it.

Be Real. Some Mistakes Are OK.


Another Great Idea Submitted by Doresa from Georgia
Kindergarten Teacher

Don't try to be perfect, be real. Teach how you "really" think you may be in the
classroom when it is your own. You are still a student and you are expected to make mistakes.
However, it will be very hard for you to truly grow if you don't show your true self in the
classroom environment.

Challenges Will Make You a Better Teacher


Submitted by Rachael from New York
First Grade Teacher

You should go into Student Teaching knowing that there will be challenges that you
probably won't expect, but will ultimately make you all the better prepared for the real thing.
You will experience situations that they never taught you in college, and you may be caught off
guard from it. Just use your instincts and ask for help if you need it. There will be lots of people
to offer help--your Cooperating teacher, other teachers in the school, your supervisor, other
student teachers, etc. Getting advice and showing you're confident in what you're doing will
impress your C/T and your supervisor. By the time student teaching ends, you will be surprised
how many students' lives you have touched; regardless of the short amount of time you may be
in the classroom. Just have fun with it! The more fun you have, the more you will get out of it
and be prepared to have your own classroom soon!

Don't Be Discouraged
Submitted by Keith from New York
High School Science

For all student teachers just starting out, don't be discouraged by all the hard work you're
doing right now without being paid. When you start teaching, there's really two ways you get
paid: first by the money you get for your hard work, but second by the difference you make in a
childs life. It may seem like a difficult job, and it really is, but the reward for helping a child
achieve something they didn't think they could is worth more than anything you'd ever
experience in any other job.

Don't be discouraged by the difficulties you'll encounter, but learn from them. When you
help even one child, you've accomplished more than most people in other professions ever will.
The difference you make will be profound, even before you ever start collecting a paycheck, and
that makes it all worth it.

Something Special for Students


Submitted by Cecelia from Mississippi
Kindergarten and First Grade Muulti-Age Classroom

Student teachers can welcome back students with something just for them!! Make
magnetic nametags, goody bags, or specially addressed mail. You could also have the class
make a crafty photo frame that they can decorate and add a picture of themselves from the first
day of school. Give them something unique (not expensive) to show that your are reaching out to
them and you care. Sadly today many children don't have many caring individuals in their home
environment.

Know Your Students!


Submitted by Beth from Georgia
4th - 6th Grade, Special Education Resource Teacher

Student teachers should first strive to become acquainted with their students as
individuals. By learning their strenghts and weaknesses future teachers will not only help their
students to see their gifts-but they will be memorable to supervising teachers as well.

It is essential to learn organizational skills (observe as many effective teachers as


possible) yet it is very important to remember to be flexible! Your co workers,parents and others
will appreciate a cooperative spirit

Above all-remember to treat each child like you would want your child to be treated.
Remember to laugh and remember to love each day.

ask me "How do you do it?" My best advice is to see each child as a unique individual, no matter
what their background is. And remember, every child is capable of learning even if it's not at the
same time or in the same manner! Most of all relax and enjoy your job... because you are making
a difference in a child's life!
Dee's Advice
Submitted by Dee from Toronto
First Grade Teacher

Being a student teacher is a challenge! It's like learning to drive from the passenger seat,
because you are not the one in charge. It's not your classroom. This can be seen as an advantage
if your host teacher is willing to jump in and rescue you when the class is acting wild, or a
disadvantage if you want to be in control but your host teacher isn't handing over the reins or
supporting you in front of the students. My advice is to clearly state your expectations to your
host teacher and ask her/him for their expectations at the same time. Be open to feedback. Be
courteous and respectful at all times, especially in the staffroom where the walls have ears and
your comments could be overheard by anyone. Above all, enjoy! These few months before you
embark on your own new career are precious and unique in the opportunity to ask questions, try
new things and soak up all the information you can about teaching and learning. The best piece
of advice I received as a student teacher: if you are using the photocopier and a permanent
teacher is waiting in line behind you, LET THEM GO FIRST!

Chin Up!
Submitted by Susan from North Carolina
First Grade Teacher

I would tell Student Teachers to take in as much as they possibly can! Have
conversations with their cooperating teacher and listen to every piece of advice they get. Go
home at night and reflect on the day and journal about the things you'd do again and what you'd
change. Learn how to organize your lessons and paperwork and make sure to get as much
experience with the kids as you can. I took loads of pictures so that I could remember what
activities looked like! Chin UP! It's not easy!

Simply Be Yourself
Submitted by Theresa from Tennessee
Elementary Teacher

Know that you are capable of being the best teacher you can be by simply being yourself,
take advantage of teachable moments that spring out of no where and use that to introduce new
ideas and if things stray from your desired path, you can always redirect them. Most of all know
that suggestion are just suggestion and teach the best way that works for you that get results.

Believe in Your Students


Submitted by Lacrecia from Georgia
Third Grade Teacher

I help to train new teachers in our system and I believe the best advice that I give them is
to believe that all students are capable of learning. As a teacher, our responsibility is to find out
how each student learns and build our lessons around that information. Yes it takes extra time
and planning. It also requires us to be flexible and creative. But, isn't that what great teaching is
all about?

Great Thoughts from Deanna


Submitted by Deanna from Utah
4th Grade Teacher

First of all, you need to remember that you are the guest in the classroom. Although you
may have great ideas, and perhaps better ones than your cooperating teacher, you still need to go
by their schedule for you. Don't forget that they will be filling out your performance sheet when
it's all over and you want as good of marks as you can get. Go with their flow.

Secondly, you will realize that most of what you learned in your college classes don't
really prepare you for this. You just have to dive into it and go. You may feel like you are glued
to your lesson plans, textbooks constantly looking at the clock to see when it's time to go on to
the next thing, etc., but don't worry, we all did that. One day it starts to click and you can multi-
task and feel like you've got it down a little better each day.

Lastly, If you feel too overwhelmed, remember that this will be ending soon. It's a hoop
you've got to jump through. One day you will have your very own classroom to manage however
you want. And that is the rewarding prize for going through student teaching.

Impress Your C.T.


Submitted by Listette from Florida
Second Grade Teacher

Well first off, be prepared for anything. Never underestimate the power of a child. Set
high expectations for the class and let them know what you want from them.

As far as impressing the cooperating teacher, take the initiative. If you've learned about
something you are interested in trying or making, do it. If the teacher questions you, explain
where you are coming from and how you feel it will benefit the students.

Communication is the best tool ever no matter what. If you do have concerns talk to your
teacher or supervisor. Don't wait until it is too late. After all, they signed up for a reason also.
This is a learning experience to try and best prepare you for your own classroom someday.

Learning Styles
Submitted by Judy from New Jersey
You should know each child's individual learning style, and teach each child keeping that
in mind. USE MANY AIDS AND manipulatives for a hands on approach. Remember each child
has a special intelligence, even though you may not see it at first.It could be verbal non verbal
musical, artistic, etc.

More About Learning Styles


Submitted by Trudy from Gradeschool Homeschool Family

As a homeschooling mother of three, it amazes me how different the learning styles of


my children are. In a classroom of 20+ children, these differences would be great. I would
encourage a student teacher to study the students and the way they take in information in order to
make the learning environment helpful to all.

Sub Before Graduating


Submitted by Monique from Arkansas
6th Grade Teacher

My advice would be....SUB before graduating!!! Remember that students are behaving a
certain way for you only because their full time teacher is close by. All education majors should
substitute teach in different grade levels (especially junior highs)before going too far in their
course work.This would give student teachers a pretty good idea of how a rough day might feel
you're on your own with 28 hormonal teenagers.

Work Well with Everyone


Submitted by Christine from Kansas
IR Special Education K-4

Get to know your custodial crew and secretaries. They can make or break how your year
will go. It is a lot easier to access thing that you want when you are on good terms with the
people who take care of the school and run the place.

I would also advise that if you have any children with disabilities and on IEPs that you
work very closely with the Special Education teacher. These children can have a hard time
adjusting to how you run your classroom and it always takes a team to make it through the first
few weeks. Keep an open mind and remember to relax and go with the flow. Everything will
eventually work its way out and if it does there will be changes made. Remember that the
children in Special Ed are just that children, and should be treated with the same respect as the
other children in your class.

Send Signals of Encouragement


Submitted by Robyn from Missouri
Grade 3 and 4 Teacher

Wow there is so much to know about working in a classroom with students that no
college course could ever teach you and that's basically your entire experience as a teacher.
College doesn't teach you as the individual being train to teach your own personal experience
and thats what you will gain from the teaching field: A personal experiences working with
students.
Two things I do want to share is that as a new teacher, walk in the classroom aware that
the faces you see are the many different learning styles you are about to embark upon. If you
need help understanding learning styles, theorists Howard Gardener does a wonderful job
explaining the differen multiple intelligences which will help you with your journey.

My favorite tip is your signals that you send to a child. This is simply how you speak to
them and how what you say can be interpreted differently by a child. For example, if you say,
"No, that answer is wrong," a child may think you're calling them dumb. If you exchange papers
and have students grade their peers work, the student with all their answers wrong may see
themselve as a failure. So please, do me a huge favor as you enter the teaching field, send signals
of encouragement and remember, you are going to be a teacher, mentor, counselor, principal,
mother, father, grandmother, pet, doctor, lawyer, judge, and whatever else your students may
need you as but most importantly, a friend they can trust. Get ready for your muli-talented
adventure.

Enjoy the Ride of Your Life!


Submitted by Melinda from Ohio
3rd Grade Teacher

The best advice that I can offer to a college student beginning their student teaching is to
realize that they are a viable part of the classroom that they are entering. They must ask questions
and observe the routines of the classroom and reflect on what works and what doesn’t.

As a new member of the teaching team it is their responsibility to be professional in


dress, preparation and commitment. It is a learning experience for both the student teacher and
the classroom students.

It is important to be on time and professional at all times. Your students are counting on
you to teach them and to have the leadership skills necessary to manage the classroom.

If you become overwhelmed, talk with your cooperating teacher. They were once in your
shoes and they can help you work through any concerns.

Don’t be afraid to try out various teaching skills and techniques because this is how an
upcoming teacher learns. College has prepared you for teaching, but it has not prepared you for
the typical classroom. You must realize that people are not as simple as the lessons that you
studied. You have to be able to make quick decisions and have the flexibility to change your
course of action at a moments notice. Be humorous, excited about what you are teaching, patient
with even the most difficult student and forgiving of yourself. Start each day with a clean slate
and enjoy the ride of your life!

Let the Principal Observe


Submitted by Annesa from Tennessee
Grade 4

Always go to the teachers around you for information from different grades. Also, allow
the principal to review your lesson plans and possibly evaluate your teaching. I looks really good
on your resume. Have fun, be firm, and enjoy what you do.

Be Positive; Don't Be Too Hard on Yourself


Submitted by Chris from Georgia
Second Grade Teacher

Everyone that observes you will focus on what you need to improve. Be sure that you
focus on what it is that you are doing that is positive and working too. I always tell my student
teachers to keep your eyes and ears open to what other teachers are doing that is working. Don't
get down on yourself if something doesn't work. Next time change it up a little and try it again
and you will be successful! Enjoy what you're doing!

Live, Eat, and Breathe Teaching


Submitted by Marcy from New York
Fourth Grade Teacher

Almost in every occupation there's that moment where everything matters. In teaching,
that moment is when you student teach.

It all comes down to a few weeks of proving to everyone that you can put into practice all
that you've learned in theory. Live, eat, and breath only teaching during this time. Go above and
beyond what is expected. Have open communication with your cooperating teacher. Show up
early and leave late. The spotlight is on you- it's your time to shine. Show them what you've got.
Own your moment.

Principal Observations; Subbing


Submitted by Kim from Illinois
Third Grade Teacher
Once you are regularly teaching the class, invite the principal in to observe. This will
give you an edge if interviewing for a position within the school after you have completed your
student teaching. In addition, get to know the rest of the staff: other teachers, secretary, janitors,
special ed, etc. Become a "part" of the faculty/school. Finally, sub at the school after you student
teach (especially if graduate in Dec). In my situation, there were over 100 applications for one
position and I got it! I was more than "just another application on a piece of paper."

Organization is Key
Submitted by Janet from Florida
Third Grade Teacher

The advice that I would give a student teacher is to be very organized and to not give up
no matter what. Student teaching is a time to get a taste of what being a teacher is really like. At
first it might be overwhelming with all that needs to be done. When you finish one thing than
another thing comes up. It can get to a point that you might think that you can not make it. But if
you are organize it might make things much easier. Besides being knowledgable and creative in
the classroom, orgainztion is also a key component in being successful. In my experiences, being
organized will impress a principal or supervisor. Good Luck! (Once you complete your first
year of teaching it will get easier as the years pass by and you will become an expert at what you
do.)

The Notebook
Submitted by Linda from Florida
Guidance Counselor

My advice would be to get a notebook and divide it into sections like bulletin board
ideas, behavior managment, reading, math, etc. When they see a good idea write it in their
notebook. Observe other classrooms as much as you can. Take advantage of the opportunity to
learn from people who are teachers.

Okay to Make Mistakes


Submitted by Rodrigo from Brazil
University Teacher

You must know your students very well, try to use their English skills in the process.
Respect the differences and use them to achieve your goals. Besides this, it's important to build
an environment where the students feel free to use their own English, express their thoughts, and
make their mistakes, all as a natural part of the process.

On the Job Training


Submitted by Julia from Indiana
5th Grade Teacher
Pay VERY close attention to the veteran teacher. Watch for time management ideas that
work and ask many questions about how to manage time when filling in lesson plans. I believe a
large part of teaching is ON THE JOB TRAINING. Work hard at building relationships with the
students. RESPECT goes a LONG way!

Make kids feel like they are the "Smartest and Best!"
Submitted by Bridgette from Alabama
Pre-Kindergarten Teacher

First of all school does not prepare you for the actual classroom. There will be great
veteran teachers to guide you through your first year. My advice is to be observant of your peers.
If you see a teacher that is loving and kind but also has control of her students, GET TO KNOW
THEM FAST!! They will be a great asset. Get to know your students/parents personally. Make
yourself available for concerned parents. Give your students a high five or a hug each and every
day. Make your students feel like they are the smartest and best that your school has. Have a
discipline plan ready for the first day. Get plenty of rest and pray!!!

Hands-On Learning
Submitted by Redralynd from Texas

Last year was my first year teaching. I would tell a student teacher to be as hands on as
possible. Write lesson plans and use them in the class you are working in. You don't learn half of
what you need to know just by going to school. I have a Masters degree in special education and
I still felt like I needed to learn so much more. Working with children with autism is fun, but
challenging. Be sure you know the group of students you want to work with before it is time to
find that job.

Make a difference. Kids are counting on you!


Submitted by Susan from Florida
2nd Grade Teacher

My advice to student teachers would be to take notes and photographs of the ideas you
see your classroom teacher using that you would like to duplicate in your own classroom.
Veteran teachers are a wealth of information and ideas. Ask for copies of worksheets or lesson
plans for future use. Visit other classrooms in the school you are doing your student teaching in.
Observe the different teaching styles of other teachers to see various ways to present a lesson. If
you see something you like, mold it into your own style. Plan on arriving early to work with your
classroom teacher before the students arrive. Stay after school to discuss which lessons were
effective and what changes may need to be made. Don't feel you must deliver your lessons the
exact same way your supervising teacher did. We recently had two interns who are carbon copies
of the teachers they interned with. Be yourself! Be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected.
Kids will be kids. Everyday is a new day. On the days you are frustrated or overwhelmed, just
remember the kids are counting on you. Making a difference in even one child's life is a
rewarding experience. Good luck!

Differentiated Instruction
Submitted by Carmen from Florida
3-5 Science Lab Teacher

Pay close attention to methods of differentiating instruction for learners as this becomes
invaluable throughout your teaching career. Steal any and all ways of staying organized.
Organization is what saves you at the end of a long teaching day. The 2 best ways to make sure
you impress your supervising teacher or edu professor are to make sure your students are
actively engaged and keep that smile on your face. :)

Combine Multiple Skills


Submitted by Adrienne from Maryland
Fourth and Fifth Grade Teacher

Remain patient and encouraging. Think of creative lessons that can combine multiple
skills like an English worksheet that asks a student to write about the lifecycle of a caterpillar
(which is also science-based). These type of lessons encourage the student to learn two subjects
in one worksheet. You may also combine music or art as some students enjoy learning lessons
through music sing-alongs (like rap songs), finger-painting their thoughts or understanding of the
lesson. Dancing along with a lesson can promote physical exercise for a healthy heart and clear
mind. Encourage children who are learning at a faster pace to also assist/encourage others who
need additional help. This will discourage competition and encourage building self-esteem,
compassion, and an overall cooperative learning environment. Remember to praise every good
effort and repeat important hints or skills because children learn faster through repetition. Make
the learning process as fun for you as it is for the student. Try dressing up similar to history
characters. This might help students to remember the lesson or add humor to a subject which
might appear less interesting. By doing this, both you and your students will look forward to
each day or lesson.

Take Initiative & Show What You Can Do!


Submitted by Stephanie from Georgia
4th Grade

A good student teacher is one that can assert him or herself in a positive way. Many
teachers aren't willing to let go of the reigns so to speak so a good student teacher will have to
take the initiative to show the classroom teacher what they are can do. When given small tasks
do them with vigor and excellence. Listen to your classroom teacher and take all criticism
constructively. Most of all get to know the students and have fun. Of course student teaching is
just wetting your whistle and will most likely be nothing like your first year on your own so take
from it what you can. Spend time with other teachers in the building and observing different
strategies and styles of teaching.

Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help


Submitted by Shari from Louisiana
5th Grade

The best advice I could give a student teacher is never be afraid to ask for help, even if
it's help with something as simple as how to use the copy machine. I know at this stage in the
game you feel like you know everything and that college has completely prepared you, but you'll
never be 100% prepared until the day you retire because every class is different and every child
different. So ask for advice and help, even with the small things.

Difference Between Friendly and Friend


Submitted by Barb from Missouri
3rd Grade

Do not try to be the students friend. You can be friendly, however, you are there to teach
not make friends. Always be fair and consistent, I know we sometimes have favorites, however,
you can not show that. If your wonderful student messes up then you need to treat them like
everyone else, that's part of being consistent and fair.

Challenge Yourself
Submitted by Cheryl Lynn from South Carolina
Grades 3-5

Go for it! This is your time to shine with a lot of support. Take the most difficult
placement you can get, be it a grade level you are not sure of teaching, a 'rough' or 'difficult'
school, whatever it is just do it. The reason I say this is if you can make it there you can make it
ANYWHERE!

Know Your Students


Submitted by Terry from Mississippi
4th Grade Teacher

Be flexible. You never know the situations that each child must live with away from
school. Sometimes disruptive children may be starved to death for good, honest, and sincere
attention. Instead of constantly scolding the disruptive child, try making that child your "helper"
for the day. Be quick to acknowlege a dispruptive child when you "catch" him or her being good.
Sometimes, a child is looking for someone's approval.

Truth Revealed - Teachers' Confidence in Teaching
and Students' Competence Has Connection
By Larry Icabandi Nabiong

For a great teacher, never mediocrity be the stamp of his teaching. Students learn best when his
teacher is authentic enough to teaching basic things in learning which would make his students
learn by doing. Nary a teaching is effective if there is no clear-cut plan, sane strategies, and valid
assessments after a unit or what.

Yes, confidence in teaching is vital to ensure effective learning. Sans the mastery of the lesson
taught, of course, students will not get the skills, knowledge, values and the like that would
contribute to their success towards self-actualization. Instead, they would just be wasting time
and never be experiencing a meaningful learning encounter with the teacher who would rather be
a good worker but teaching.

Well, not all teachers have this skills in imparting knowledge, more so, if they were lacking the
passion and all to teaching. Yes, there is a need for a kind of inner strength that whatever happen
along the way still he persists doing his job-- and doing it well as he can.

Mediocrity in teaching can be seen through the attitude of students toward his teaching. Instead
of being motivated learners they learn to reject his style of teaching and never become learners
with passion. Yes, we could not give what we did not have. We can only teach what we know
and feel confident about. That is why, there is a must to ensuring mastery of the needed skills,
knowledge and all before letting one to teach. With the help of experts around, a not- so-
confident teacher must let himself be given all sorts of help and accept the fact that he needs
other people to learning teaching effectively through sane strategies for his students' welfare.

The future of the students' learning lies in the hands of the teachers and should be given the
needed support-- both not- so- confident teachers and not-so- competent students--for them to
enjoy their quest to teaching and learning. Yes, confidence in teaching can be had only if you
have the mastery of your subject taught, and competence by students can be had only through
giving them a confident teacher.

Ensuring teachers' confidence can be had through learning and getting the needed support from
experts around who would never waste time giving them the needed support. Mentors are just
around; they would be more than willing to extend help. Why not let them be of help and making
your students benefit from your collaborations and all?

Today's teaching calls for open-mindedness to accepting others' support than merely ignoring the
solution to problems making students learning not-so-pleasant an experience. Teachers can
change the scenario by changing attitudes, gaining more expertise in teaching and accepting the
fact that collaboration can make wonders to effective, efficient teaching.
Achievement test results are gauged of teachers' effectiveness. Whatever the results, teachers
must start from there and do the needed effort to augment or maintain the results, er surpass
expectations for each teacher is accountable enough to exert effort making a difference to
students' learning quest.

Yes, once we are aware of the situation we know how to deal with it, with grace and confidence.

Don’t Confuse ICT Education with ICT Tools--


Educators
By Erwin Oliva
INQUIRER.net 05/30/2008

MAKATI City, Philippines -- Information and communications technology (ICT)


education is not only about providing ICT tools to teachers, an educator told INQUIRER.net.

Shyamal Majumdar, director general of the Colombo Plan Staff College for Technician
Education (CPSC), said ICT education has to be integrated in the learning process in schools.
"We should emphasize the pedagogical process in ICT education," Majumdar said.
"Sometimes, ICT education is confused with ICT tools."

In a paper he presented during an international symposium on "Emerging Trends in ICT


Education" organized by the CPSC in collaboration with other organizations, Majumdar showed
that there are various stages of integrating ICT in education.

He said there are at least four stages: emerging, applying, infusing and transforming.

He said that the emerging stage means that teachers are just becoming aware of the
potentials of ICT in education. The applying stage is when teachers are starting to learn how to
use ICT for teaching and learning. The infusing stage is when a host of ICT tools are used and
integrated into the curriculum. Finally, the transforming stage involves the development of new
ways of teaching and learning using ICT to explore real-world problems through innovative
learning.

"Learning is not a transfer of knowledge, rather it is an active construction," he said.


"Technology and teachers’ professional development in its use are best introduced in the context
of broader education reform which embraces a shift away from teacher-centered, lecture-oriented
training toward learner-centered, interactive and constructive learning environment," he said.

CPSC is an inter-governmental organization for human resources and development,


established in 1973 by 26 participating countries including the Philippines. The CPSC aims to
help member-countries in enhancing technician education systems.

December 6-10, 2011

In my first week in Lagro High School as student teacher of Technology and Livelihood
Education Elective (Food Service) was a good experience. I was so happy that my cooperating
teacher is very kind to me and she always guides me everyday we having a class. She allow me
to observed in my first week in her class. She gave me an idea in each section that she was
handle in every period.

But in Tuesday, in our last period I am the one who lecture to them because I feel bored.
My cooperating teacher just smile at me when she entered the room and allow me to continue to
discuss up to the end. I taught them a lesson about meat cuts and different market forms of meat.

Then, the next day I taught about poultry. They all listen to me and give attention on our
topic. I really happy in my students that time because all of them are cooperating in our
discussion.

Friday afternoon I taught, fish and shellfish. I learn to my critic that there are different
market forms of shellfish and how are the proper way of cooking it. While Im discussing, my
critic only listen to me at the back and there is a question she is the one who answer it. I learn
many things from her.

I was so happy in this week. I hope there is more lessons and topic that I will learn from
my cooperating teacher. I think, I will learn also here in this elective food service, how to cook.
Well, actuallly I don’t have a talent in cooking, maybe that is God’s plan for me to learn here in
my subject. I believe that I will get more knowledge in this subject more than I expected. And I
was so thankful that I survived this first week of our practicum in student teaching.
December 13-16, 2011

It was a second week of my student teaching in Lagro High School. I really enjoy
teaching Food Service II in fourth year high school. I have a lots of knowledge that I learned in
this elective.

Im so excited in this week because our students have their project making which is
“chocolate making”. I and my cooperating teacher assist them in their project. I observed them
while they are working in our kitchen where it serves as their laboratory. I give them a hand
when they need something to use in their project. I always go around them to see if they do it
right.

I also learn from them, what is the proper way of melting a chocolate and using mallows
as decoration in their project. In other hand, I found out that if there is a water in their chocolate
or even a little bit of drops, it will not become solid chocolate when they put it into a molder.
This procedure serve as a note for me to remember when I melt a chocolate and put it into a cold
place to be solid again.

Thanks for this week, that was full of enjoyment and experience in chocolate making. I
also enjoy the company of some of my students who share stories while they are busy in making
their projects. I hope this coming week will be more enjoying for them and have a merry
christmas. I wish that , we all having a good vacation and will see next year for a new challenges
and lessons. Have a prosperous new year to my students and teachers. ☺
January 3-7, 2011

A happy new year for my students!! This week is a great for me. A new challenges and
experience in my teaching practicum. I really miss my students and the bonding with my
cooperating teacher.

I was so excited to face another year of my teaching days. So, happy to see my students
again. I really want to teach them and handle the class. Maybe this month and the up coming

DepEd Supports Teachers’ Adjusted Salary
Saturday, Jun 26, 2010
Education

The Department of Education (DepEd) expressed its support to the immediate release of
the adjusted salary of teachers that would further assure the upgrading of the quality of education
in public schools.

Education Secretary Mona Valisno said that a set of urgent concerns will be presented to
the next administration, top among which is the salary adjustment of teachers.

“I will be former secretary by July 1. But the team at DepEd will bridge with President
Noynoy our concerns as he committed that education will be a priority in his administration,”
said Valisno.

Earlier this week, an association of public school teachers nationwide pressed DepEd for
the prompt implementation of the salary adjustment of teachers under the Salary Standardization
Law III (SSL3) approved by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in June last year.

Valisno revealed that the Department will make representations with teachers on SSL III
through DepEd’s agency transition officials including Legal Affairs Undersecretary Franklin
Sunga, Undersecretary for Finance Manaros Bonansing, and Assistant Secretary Special Projects
and Legislative Affairs Jonathan Malaya.

U.S. Public Schools Stop Hiring Filipino Teachers


Sunday, May 23, 2010
Education

UNITED States public schools have stopped hiring Filipino teachers this year as the
recession-proof profession faces the worst job market since the Great Depression.

Amid state and local budget cuts, cash-poor urban districts like New York City and Los
Angeles, which once hired thousands of young people every spring, have taken down the help-
wanted signs.

A number of Filipino teachers started their trek to the U.S. in 2004 when 268 were
deployed to unified school districts rising to 488 in 2005, 521 in 2006, 971 in 2007, 865 in 2008.

In 2009 only 255 were able to reach the U.S. mainland.


This year, job orders for teachers at the POEA are down as America comes to grips with
slashed school budgets. Because of this, many teachers were forced to go on leave and school
days were reduced so that the school district budgets can be stretched further.

Most of the Filipino teachers specialized in Math, Science and Special Education. Many
of them came from exclusive private schools and an exceptional few from national schools.

Recruitment consultant Emmanuel Geslani reported from Los Angeles that new
applicants are being turned away despite having passed the rigorous California teacher’s exam or
CBEST. Furloughs or forced leaves for teachers were given as California is beset with financial
troubles.

At the University of Pennsylvania, most of the 90 aspiring teachers who graduated last
weekend are jobless. Many had counted on offers from the Philadelphia public schools but had
their interviews canceled this month after the district announced a hiring freeze.

DepEd Reiterates Banning of Campaign Signs in Schools


Sunday, May 2, 2010
Education

MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Education on Thursday directed all school


heads to immediately remove all campaign posters within and around school premises.

Education Secretary Mona Valisno said the order was in accordance to DepEd Order No.
10, s. 2010 that outlines the “Clean Schools, Clean Elections Campaign” of the government.

At the same time, Assistant Secretary Jonathan Malaya reminded school executives to put
the sign: “In compliance with DepEd policy, this school PROHIBITS the posting of campaign
materials in school premises. Violators will be PROSECUTED to the fullest extent of the law.”

“We are reminding our division superintendents and school heads to place the signage
immediately and to remove all campaign posters, otherwise they will be subject to disciplinary
action where applicable,” he said.

Malaya added that monitoring teams will be organized in every region which will report
to the nearest DepEd Division or Regional Office of any violations of the said order.

According to Valisno, the order is to ensure and maintain the neutrality and non-partisan
stance of schools and the teachers in the upcoming automated elections.

“We need to maintain the integrity and neutrality of our schools and teachers in the
coming elections,” said Valisno.
She noted that public schools have been plastered with campaign posters of candidates in
anticipation of the automated elections on May 10.

“Since the school is a polling place, no campaign materials must be posted or distributed
outside school premises including grounds in front and areas around it such as walls, fences and
sidewalks,” the education secretary said.

She also urged incumbent local officials and other concerned citizens to implement and
observe the DepEd order.

“We appeal to incumbent local officials, the police and concerned citizens to help us keep
our schools free of campaign materials,” she added.

Valisno to Continue DepEd Programs


Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010
Education, Government

New Education Secretary Mona Valisno, on her first day of work Monday, assured the
nation that she has no plans of altering the smooth preparation of teachers rendering services in
the May 10 national elections, and vowed to push the Department of Education (DepEd)’s plans
and programs according to their set time-frame.

In her acceptance speech at the turnover, she made it clear that all programs and policies
that former DepEd secretary Jesli Lapus left will be implemented according to schedule.

Valisno brushed aside speculations that the change in leadership could adversely affect
the May 10 elections and the continuity of current programs and resolution of issues on certain
Magna Carta for Teachers provisions.

She stressed she has no plans of altering any preparations in the May polls, least
jeopardize the smooth flow of election activities. She has also no intentions of obstructing any
party list whose goal is to look after the benefit of teachers or educators.

As regards certain provisions in the Magna Carta for Teachers, Valisno said she needs to
be briefed on the status of all the negotiations, dialogues, and agreements that have been reached
and the next steps that have to be pursued.

“The President and I have always acknowledged how important teachers are, so we
understand the plight of teachers, we sympathize with them, and promise to take care of their
concerns,” Valisno emphasized.
Instead of spreading baseless humors, Valisno encouraged everyone to help DepEd
realize its objective of helping Filipino children, especially the poor, realize their dreams though
education. Education is the best social equalizer, “ito ang mabisang paraan para makaahon sa
kahirapan,” she said.

Being the foundation of education, basic education under the care of DepEd, therefore,
plays a crucial role for our children’s education as it carries the huge task of uplifting the lives of
poor children so they can be productive and responsible citizen someday, she added.

She added that the Arroyo administration places great emphasis on the important role of
education giving it one of the biggest shares in the national budget, representing about 29-
percent and singled out the priority for the basic education with DepEd having 95 percent of the
total budget for education.

Aquino Says He’ll Throw Book at DepEd Execs Over Error-


Filled Textbooks
Thursday, Feb 25, 2010
Education

MANILA, Philippines—Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino IIII said he would “throw the
book” at officials of the Department of Education (DepEd) for failing to prevent error-riddled
textbooks from being used in the country’s public schools.

In an interview with Inquirer editors and reporters on Tuesday night, Aquino said
reforming the country’s education system would be a priority if he were elected.

“Why do we keep on accepting these erroneous textbooks? (Education officials) are


authorized to issue contracts every five years and yet when the book is produced, there are 500
errors,” Aquino said. “This is my pet peeve.”

He said that he would give DepEd officials a chance if he were elected but if error-filled
textbooks still came out, those responsible would face the full force of the law.

“I’ll tell them let’s say sorry to each other. There’s nonfeasance, misfeasance,
malfeasance. Throw the book at them,” Aquino said.

He said that he would also try to end the classroom shortage in the country so that
students would no longer have to endure their classes in shifts.

“You will need P20 billion at P500,000 per classroom. We had P40 billion for ZTE (the
scuttled national broadband project) but we can’t have that P20 billion for schools. So, your child
has three subjects per class period. He gets a textbook that is so full of errors,” Aquino said.
“The state wanted to have a headline ‘We’ve finished the classroom shortage problem’ but they
did it by double, triple, and even quadruple shifting,” he added.

DepEd Acknowledges Shortfall in Teachers’ Bonuses


Saturday, Jan 9, 2010
Education

MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Education announced on Friday that all of its


teachers received their Christmas bonuses early this month albeit partially.

In a statement, DepEd said all of its 554,000 employees—most of them teachers—have


received their P7,000 bonus, also referred to as the Productivity Enhancement Incentive. But it
was short of the P10,000 Christmas bonus President Macapagal-Arroyo promised last year to all
government employees.

The P7,000 bonus per employee came from the national government while the remaining
P3,000 should have been sourced from the savings of the respective agencies.

To complete the bonuses, the DepEd needs P1.6 billion, of which only P550 million in
savings have been released so far.

But in the same statement, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus promised that, as agreed with
the Department of Budget and Management, “the additional P3,000 bonus of the teachers will be
paid as soon as possible.”

He added: “If we have to sacrifice funds allocated for other programmed expenditures to
give all our teachers the full benefits due them, we will do it.”

He also assured education employees in Rodriguez, Rizal, that the funds for their bonuses
stolen by robbers last month will be replaced.

Armed men took away P4.9 million in cash that DepEd personnel had just withdrawn
from a bank. The money was intended for the cash gifts of some 800 teachers.

“The regional office is doing its best to replace the amount from available funds,” the
DepEd statement said.
