How did you deal with challenges on the first days of reporting in
your workstation? Write your answer in the field below and answer
the questions that follow.

1. What challenges did you encounter in your first days? Input

your answer here
2. How did you overcome these challenges? Input your answer
here.
3. Did you rely on a specific person or people? How did you seek
help? Input your answer here.

I've faced challenges before, so Actually, I should have started with these
spices. Since it was a pandemic when I was initially employed, I can still
clearly recall that my first obstacle was a communication issue because
there was no way for me to personally meet my coteachers; instead, we had
a general classroom (GC) where all the material was displayed. The issue is
that, as a new instructor, I have no idea what the announcements are for. I
frequently inquire, "Kasali ba ako dun?" I'm trying to say that starting
public school is like "learning to swim." When you don't seek for advice, no
one will tell you what to do. This led me to recognize that "ahh, kelangan
magtanong para mainform ako," which is the reason behind.
REQUIRED TASK 1
Do research on professional associations for teachers. You may ask your mentor and co-
teachers about associations that they are part of or familiar with. You may also do further
research online. Choose three professional associations that appeal to your interest. Take
note of their activities and goals, and write the things that you like in each professional
association in the boxes below.

Go back to your list of professional associations that interest
you. Given the tips, which association are you most likely to join
and why? Input your answer here.

Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT-Teachers), which promotes a

nationalist, scientific, and mass-oriented education, is the
organization I'm most likely to join. It encourages teachers and
other education professionals to actively and dynamically
participate in societal reform. Additionally, it represents, supports,
and defends the interests of its affiliates and their individual
members, as well as teachers and other education professionals in
general. The National Federation of Teachers and Employees Union
(NAFTEU), the national organization of school-based labor unions,
and the Congress of Teachers for Nationalism and Democracy
(CONTEND), a militant and nationalist teachers organization, make
up ACT. Being a member of these groups automatically ties you to
ACT.

Read and analyze the given scenarios. Identify the main
problem in each financial situation and the possible effects
that it may bring.

1. Teacher Marie has a big family. She has four sons and two daughters. Her
husband has no regular work. Every month, there is an expectation from their
children that they will be going to the mall to spend time dining together. They
also buy the things that their children are requesting, even unnecessary ones.
Teacher Marie does not want to disappoint them. So, upon receiving her salary,
she always gives favor to them.

Main Problem Lifestyle

Possible Effects They will run out of money if they continue to live
that way, prioritizing the wants of their children over
their family's requirements.

2. Principal Santos has observed the spending pattern of the newly-hired teachers
in their school. Their lifestyle includes passion for international travels,
fashionable clothes, and latest gadgets. They even invest part of their salaries to an

PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY
Pick one object in your bag that you can connect to the
word “planning.” Draw the image of that object below,
and explain how it relates with planning. Answer the
questions that follow.

A ballpen is a crucial tool for

planning since it enables me to put
down my precise objectives and
strategies. Making a plan enables
me to choose which tasks will be
completed first and which are of the
least importance.

1. What is planning?

ANSWER : It is the process of making plans

2. Is planning important in the teaching profession?

ANSWER : YES

3. Is planning important in professional growth? How?

ANSWER: Planning is a major factor in determining the

professionalism of a job done. The feel and sense of control you have
while carrying out your plans to achieve the goal is the same feeling that
aids professionals to do better than average people.
REQUIRED TASK 1
If you haven’t created your own development plan, now is the time
that you make one. Table 1 shows the format for the Developmental
Plan (RPMS Manual for Teachers and School Heads, 2018). You
may do this on a separate Word document
