Who and What Are They?

Values Education teachers have always been stereotyped as those teachers who are quite strict with the impression of a principal running in the head of every student, but in reality, these are the teachers that students of this century cling onto whenever they are in times of immense guidance.

For both of my resource teachers, I've always viewed them as Existentialists. As I had the opportunity to observe and have times of conversation with them, they truly are Existentialists because of the holistic development as well as they frequently use the values clarification strategy. They ask students as well to always present in ways they could express themselves because even if these lessons were in the syllabus, they want students to be creative and imaginative.

Then I thought to myself, this is a good realization that in Values Education/CLE classes in my future should be creative and make my students be creative in their own ways because in this subject, hearts and hands are more important than just leaning towards the cognitive level. That's what Values Education is. It's really a holistic formation for students.

  1. As a values education teacher, we must take a responsibility to our students deeds and actions.

The Educational System of FGNMHS

Growing up 12 years in a Catholic School, I always wondered how public schools were run, and I'm thankful that in all my field study units were in public schools. Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School is one of the largest DepEd schools in Angeles that cater to more than 5,000 students excluding this year's first batch of Senior High School students. Typically, schools in DepEd follow the same Philosophy, Vision, and Mission, as well as the core values. The school also houses more than 2,000 faculty members excluding the administrators and those in other offices. A large school such as FGNMHS requires a lot of attention especially with the large number of populations it caters, but seeing the system itself whenever I am in the Principal's Office, the faculty, and even in the classrooms, I can say that the Educational System of this particular school is organized and well-updated. Of course, there are flaws, and not every institution is perfect, but everyone has...

Teacher as Role Model of GMRC

Instinctly, teachers, especially Values Educators are the epitome of Good Morals and Right Conduct of not only students, but of the entire community. Teachers are professionals and looked with full dignity. The teachers I am observing at my school are both the epitome of GMRC in their own little ways. Teacher 1 is very prim and proper, but knows how to give a good laugh. In all her classes, she knows and sees everything each student does in class and acknowledges him/her even in the smallest detail of sitting properly or having their phones out. Whenever she sees her female students doing their makeup or grooming in class, she reminds them that the classroom will never be a comfort room, otherwise their designated seats will be urinals. Teacher 2 knows when to be firm in times her students need it. She never likes noise and always points out disrespectful remarks not only to her but to even their classmates. She always makes it a point that respect begets respect. Because in some...

Orientation

I know it's late, but it's better late than never I guess *nervous laugh* It's already September but I can never forget the orientation period, and I think everyone else who were deployed in my designated school will never forget that memorable day. We arrived at HAU at around 7:30am, and we left exactly at 8:00. After three schools, we finally arrived at our designated school at around 8:30. Since there was an emergency meeting, no one was there to entertain us. So we waited another hour. Then one hour became two, until someone finally accompanied us at the library. The person who oriented us was the coordinator of MAPEH. She just reminded us to wear proper uniform and be courteous to all the faculty in the school. After that, she told us to wait for the coordinators before leaving. When she left, there were almost 40 of us waiting. We waited until 12nn. Everyone was literally on fire, and I kept quiet. Because what could I get if I let my hot-headedness get to me? N...
