Recognize his big love for your life The Gospel of Jesus Christ (January12, 2016-Thursday) Luke 13:18-21- It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. And again he said, whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid

in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened: In Matthew13- Jesus taught about the different kinds of soils which mean the different kinds of hearts. Take note, the mustard seed can grow only if it is planted in the pure heart of a person. The effects are great since it will transform and renew a person to become good. This is the power of the words

Dos and Don’t s for Teachers on Social Media By CYRIL P. COSCOS Teacher Manlawe Elementary School

SOCIAL media can be an effective tool for engaging with learners and communicating with parents. Teachers who model good social media use will grow learners who apply positive, respectful values in their interactions on social media platforms. Engaging in ongoing discussions with fellow teachers can help when you unsure whether you should share, reuse or respond to content. Check whether the school division in your place has its own policy on social media use and always act in accordance with that policy. Be aware that once

shared, content posted on social media platforms can be re-shared by anyone. Consider your past posts and the fact that people you don’t know may judge you based on how you are portrayed online. Be aware that what you post may always be seen by other teachers, parents/ guardians and most especially by your students. For instance, if you post childish stuff just for your friends to horse around you, be aware that your students are viewing your posts and may follow what you’re doing because you are supposed to be their role model. And lastly, acknowledge the source of any information if you want to repost them.

Principals as leader-managers By FILEMON L. MADRANGKA, Ph.D Principal II Sumilao Elementary School

WHEN principals act as managers, they must know how to maximize quality instructional time, use data, manage their time effectively, use faculty meetings to leverage professional learning and reflect on how their decisions, no matter how trivial they are, will affect the school community in the long run. By school community, it is not just the campus but what lies beyond it, involving the parents and even the barangay itself. Actually, it is not just the geographical location that I’m pointing out, what I meant in the statements above is the academic performance of the students in that

specific school in the long run. This fact holds true in both elementary and secondary schools especially in junior high. lso consider the emotional needs of each student. A principal must inject heart into the school plan. In short, remember heart in the equation of learning. One of the most valuable management tools is data. Make sure your decisions are based on research. You may want to consult with principals of neighboring public schools in your district or division. Consider what to do on a daily basis to improve student achievement. Always remember to put data in context. that can link farmers and potential investors, a traffic app for people with multiple destinations, a platform for mapping agricultural landscapes, and an app to connect blood donors and people that need blood.

Enhancing the Computational Skills of Pupils Through MADS Flow Chart By Mary-an L. Sumo-oy

Mastery of arithmetic operations involves learning on how to carry out calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Ideas about numbers and number calculations can be applied to solve problems and special topics involving numbers (UNICEF, 2012). However, it was observed that pupils still have difficulties in the four basic operations even if they are already in the higher grades. It was further observed that pupils are master only on a particular operation if that is the lesson being taught

by the teacher. Letting the pupils do simple solving on the basic operations has been a majority problem of pupils inside the classroom. There may be several factors for a pupil not to be able to master the four basic operations. If our pupils have not mastered the skills, it does not mean that they are not intelligent but rather because solving needs memory recall and writing numbers and symbols in their appropriate positions. Based on the researcher’s obser vations and feedback from other teachers, some pupils have problems aligning numbers vertically, which affect written calcula-

tion that involves columns of numbers. Some pupils have no difficulty with addition and subtraction but have difficulty with multiplication and division. Some pupils have problems organizing numbers in space. Others don’t remember work patterns such as working from right to left in long division, and left to right with multidigit addition, subtraction and multiplication. Further, in most cases, pupils’ mastery in computation are noticeable only when the given are aligned by the teacher. That is why the researcher found it significant to use MADS Flow Chart (Elementary Mathematics

Lesson Guide G4, 2012), as drill and part of the enrichment activities, to enhance pupils’ mastery in the four basic operations and address pupils’ problems with alignment. MADS (Multiplication, Addition, Division and Subtraction) Flow Chart is nothing more different than that of MDAS, but in here the pupils follow a flow chart in solving. The use of MADS Flow Chart is one way of maximizing pupils’ participation and learning, thus, resulting to a better understanding and longer retention of concepts and operational skills in mathematics.

Reflection on John Dewey’s Philosophy of Education By JELMAR S. BANGOD Teacher-I Mahayag Elementary School District of Quezon I

Democracy and social reform in education is a way of developing new ways to prove that education is the continuous process and it needs to adopt changes. Society is changing and there is a need to fit those changes for its individual. Its individual has its own specialized skills or knowledge.

The school therefore should not only focus on the subject matter but rather than the experiences or knowledge embodied to the learners. Dewey’s educational theories argue that education and learning are social and interactive processes, and thus the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place. In addition, he believed that students thrive in an environment where they are

allowed to experience and interact with the curriculum, and all students should have the opportunity to take part in their own learning. he philosophy of John Dewey is that education is not only as a place to gain content knowledge, but also as a place to learn how to live. In his eyes, the purpose of education should not revolve around the acquisition of a predetermined set of skills, but rather the realization

of one’s full potential and the ability to use those skills for the greater good. Dewey notes that “to prepare him for the future life means to give him command of himself; it means so to train him that he will have the full and ready use of all his capacities”. Education is the social reconstruction of its individual. When a child learns, he will be develop, and grows according to his potentials.

CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE: BOON FOR CAREER CHOICE By Teresa E. Indac Kitubo National High School

An action research at finding modular career guidance as an aid in career choice of the grade 10 students was conducted at Kitubo National High School. The instrument used to gather the data needed was personally designed by the researcher to address the relevant information’s needed. After having carefully processed, pertinent and relevant

informations were revealed: 1. Parents’ financial capacity or financial constraints with 85.57% approval is the highest internal factor considered by a student in choosing a career. 2. School offering and the proximity also mark the external factors in considering a career choice. 3. Thirty minutes is not enough in the conduct of the career guidance for the

startup founders, including SWEEP Awards alumnus Chino Atilano who is now CEO of TimeFree Innovations. The mentors taught finalists the importance of knowing their market and checking out competitors, as well as how to guard against fraud.

The SWEEP Awards was launched in 2004 to provide college students with the platform to create innovative applications that solve consumer pain points. It is an initiative under SWEEP, a long-running collaboration between Smart and the academe which aims to raise the standards of engineering

seniors. 4. Students want guidance counselors to help them in understanding career choice 5. And they want to be brought to career fairs. This research concludes that he career guidance module helped the students in choosing their career however they could not enroll according to their choice because of the economic status of their parents and of the tracks offered in

the school. Hence, students enroll in senior high school according to their parent’s financial capacity, proximity to the school and a track that is only offered is what they opt to take. There is nothing therefore that the school can do as regards financial capacity. However, it can make interventions by offering other tracks like HUMMS and ABM if it is not possible to offer STEM.

and information technology (IT) education in the country. Because of SWEEP, Smart was cited last year by international magazine Fortune

as one of 50 companies that have “changed the world.” For more information on SWEEP and the SWEEP Awards, please visit smartsweep.ph.

DepEd holds second nat’l K to 12 Confab Pros and Cons of School OIC By Ernie Q. Zaballero, Teacher I Officer In-Charge (OIC) Tankulan Elementary School

As a teacher there are many things to be considered, first planning your lessons, second how to manage class, third how to deliver lessons effectively, fourth remediate those pupils who are in needs of remediation, and lastly un-ending paper works. Being a teacher there are many pros and cons. Pros like the feeling you get when a kid chooses you as the one person they will open up to and let down their guard. The friendships you make with other staff. Some of my closest friends are those that I’ve met while teaching. You’ll share ideas about not only work-related issues but also every other part of your lives, as well. You’ll always get to enjoy your love of learning. If I’ve learned anything, it is that you are constantly learning and growing within the profession. Cons Students who won’t pass, no matter what you do. Sometimes you will pull out every trick that you know to get a student to complete their task. You’ll try to strike deals, be overly lenient, practically spoon-feed the answers—all to no avail. You’ll spend nights wracking your brain wondering what you could have done differently to get through to this kid. Sometimes you just have to let it go. This can be one of the hardest parts about teaching— knowing that a kid with potential just won’t make it. Teaching itself gives a teachers enjoyable yet challenging work. Being the school officer In-charge could also give you different pros and cons that

some teachers who are assigned as OIC give up and some especially who thinks opportunity in the future really enjoy to have this another ancillary work. The Pros. • The feeling that you were trained to become school head really paid off the effort. Attending Seminars like Crafting SIP, Formulate school plan and etcetera. • One of the requirements (ways) to be promoted as school head. Or one of the requirements to take the principal exam. • Giving you opportunity to lead and manage the school in absence of the school head. • Leadership training ground. The Cons. • Additional working time that is not related in teaching. • It requires more patient and leadership skills to manage teachers and school. • You are not just doing your job as a teacher, you are also doing the same job of the school administrators. Will you accept OICship? Being a school OIC is something that you have to have a passion for. It is more than just a job; rather, it is who you are. It can be both rewarding and frustrating. There will be times when you will wonder why you are doing this job, and there will be many more times you realize there is nothing else in the world you would rather do. It is a wondrous feeling to know you have the capacity to lead and manage.

Teachers as Molder of Youth By Rhyleen E. Ylagan Teacher lll Palacapao Elementary School

The concern of the teacher in school /classroom are the children. Being a molder of youth teacher should be careful in all her ways because children are great imitator. She is a part of the success and failure of a child, and should strive to be a good model. Children learned more from what they see and observed. It is not easy to become a molder if a teacher don’t have

passion to her profession. A teacher needs the best ingredients which is the qualities of a good teacher in order to be successful in her job as molder of youth . As great imitators, children can say everything a teacher do, good or bad influence them. Children don’t have enough knowledge to determine what is right and wrong. She plays a big role as molder of youth by being a model in the classroom

of the basic education: Kinder-Grade 6, Junior High School, and Senior High School. In the break-out sessions, representatives from regions and divisions answered questions, such as, “In what ways have you been successful in implementing Multigrade/Madrasah/ Indigenous Peoples Education Program in your school/district/division/ region?”; “In what ways did you resolve issues on learning resources?”; and “In what ways have you been successful in establishing partnerships

with your local government unit?” These were answered with evidencebased presentations. An integral part of these sessions was the sharing of experiences of all participants. The government is keen on revolutionizing the Philippine educational system, hence, the DepEd administered a shift to a fresh learning scheme in 2011. It aims to provide Filipino learners tools to transform society and consequently, become a more competitive and progressive Philippines. (DepEd)

and outside the classroom. A teacher should be sincere and true to her commitments, punctual, does her job well even without her superior, respectful and honest. Wonder why there are still children who are disrespectful, because they observed in their teachers’ attitude opposite to what they teach. Word of honor is important to ones’ personality to gain respect and obedience from the students and other peoples. Number of days, hours that the children are in school and they are always with their teacher, through this

rapport among them was established. As steward of the chi ldren in s cho ol / classroom,always in the heart of a teacher that she can mold and shaped her students to have a good and strong foundation as they continue their journey to a better life. A friendly teacher creates a friendly classroom environment conducive to learning and a place where a teacher can mold carefully children through love, passion and produced good products as molder of youth.

He also said that the City Government of Ozamiz is very serious in eliminating the illegal drugs and helping the victims to surrender to law enforcers. “I would be very happy seeing illegal drug dealers, pushers, users and victims, who willfully surrender before the government. This and more could have not been possible without the full support of all Ozamiznons,” Parojinog said.

operating illegally to cease from operating their units to avoid apprenhension and payment of penalties. Penalty for colorum operation of bus is pegged at P1 million, van - P200,000 and PUJ - P50,000 for each unit. Director Guro has vowed to eradicate the operation of colorum vehicles in the region this year. Last December, he initated a tagging system to dertermine which taxi cabs are legally operating and which are not. It accounted for a total of 2,366 taxis plying Cagayan de Oro City and neighboring towns. Guro said effective Janaury 2017, he will issue an office order to place the tag number in the rear door portion of every taxi unit to serve as body number. This way, no taxi cab can duplicate the number tagged to one taxi because the numbers are with security bar codes, he said. The intensified campaign against colorum vehicles have also impounded 22 units of van that were illegally plying Lanao del Norte, Camiguin and Bukidnon routes. He said it a challenge for local government Units (LGUs) to determining the routes for their PUJs since the task has been given to Republic of the Philippines Department of Transportation LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING & REGULATORY BOARD Regional Office No.10, Apovel, Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City DANILO Q.

Regional Development Council for Region 10 chair, Bukidnon Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri, has already written DOTr to request the same. Guro has vowed to help LGUs and coordination with them should they be tapped to assist in drawing the roadmap, which the LGUs do not have yet.

“Well, it is going to pick up and hopefully go beyond zero to positive. Exports to China, especially in terms of agricultural food, agricultural goods; and our f r uits will b e more welcome in China,” National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director General Ernesto Pernia told reporters. Pernia said the performance of agro-industry

products were seen to further increase with the renewed and improving relations with China and Russia. He noted Russia is also interested in Philippine crafts especially those from Cebu, herbal medicine and tourism. “While we are expanding our trade relations with potential markets, we need to further harness our existing free trade agreements and continue to push for reforms. This will improve our business environment and increase our attractiveness to foreign investors,” the Cabinet official said. The NEDA chief also expects the growth of the manufacturing sector and the recovery of the country’s major markets boosting exports this year. “Manufacturing is doing well so in terms of supply to exports, that would not be a constraint. It would be the demand for exports. The United States economy (is) on an uptrend and Japan is also not in the doldrums

anymore. Europe is also picking up. So I think it will probably be better,” Pernia added. Meanwhile, the countr y’s total merchandise trade grew by 7.3 percent in November 2016 on the back of strong growth in imports. The Philippine Statistics Authority reported that total trade grew to USD 12 billion in November 2016, with imports growing by 19.7 percent and mitigating the 7.5-percent drop in exports. “ The surge in trade transactions with East Asia and the ASEAN boosted the performance of imports, which also signals an increase in the purchasing power of Filipinos. We expect that this further increased in December 2016,” said Pernia. Pernia further said the positive global growth outlook paired with the upcoming ASEAN integration is the perfect opportunity to expand the Philippines’ exports portfolio. “We must continue to develop our infrastructure

and encourage product differentiation and quality upgrading to prepare our micro, small, and medium enterprises, for the upcoming increase in demand from our new trading partners,” he added. (PNA)

Sex education in schools

By AKIM L. BRANZUELA Teacher III Pagatpat Elementary School

ACCORDING to a recent research, many HIV victims in the Philippines are teens. That is why I believe that sex education must be taught not just in public schools but in private schools as well. In fact, in other countries, three quarters of children between the ages of 11 and 15 believe they would be safer if they had age-appropriate sex and relationship education in school. Sex education is not just about how not to get pregnant. It also injects family values such as how to take care of one’s lifetime partner and avoid an

atmosphere of domestic abuse, violence, harassment and threats in the home especially if there are already children around. And then there are concerns about online pornography and sexting. Concerns such as what to do if a stranger contacts a student online or to what extent that one should post online images of oneself may crop up in these sex discussions. It’s time to listen to children who are clearly telling us that they need help in understanding the digital dangers and the risks of sharing images of themselves with strangers. Online groming is a very real danger facing all children. TA R PS - S TI C K E R S - N E W S
