SESSION 2

“DEPED ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND SCHOOL PROCESSES”

1. What is the importance of knowing the DepEd organization structure and school processes in
the performance of your duties as a teacher?

Answer:
Knowing the DepEd organization structure and school processes is essential for me as a
teacher meanly because teacher should know well whom he/she approach to and whom to address
such problem that might be encountered. Teachers should know all the functions and duties of all
the employees in every department in the Department of Education for him/her to know who among
of the said department is responsible and liable in such problem.

2. Why should a teacher know who to approach in addressing concerns related to his or her duties?

Answer:
Teachers should know who to approach in addressing concerns in order for the teacher can prepare
himself/herself how to deal the person he/she wants to approach. He/She needs to conduct an investigation
for the personal background, characters and attitudes of the person he wants to approach by means of avoiding
unexpected things that might be happen in the approaching process.

I cannot deny the fact that teachers have different characteristics and attitudes in dealing and
approaching people surround them. But, he/she needs to limit himself/herself not to show his/her true identity
in dealing important person because we do not know if what are the true identity of the person we are going to
approach.

empathy and valuing my students as a unique individuals, ability to build caring relationships with

for my students, possessing competencies in the use of teaching skills that facilitate student learning.
However, I need to improve my qualities so that I can give the learning needs of my students, to be
more passionate about what to teach in order to become an efficient and effective teacher.
As a professional teacher I should able to translate the content knowledge into forms
and levels that meet the abilities and needs of the learners. I should be the teacher who can
give clear and pertinent examples, make analogies, demonstrate and explain the subject
matter in an interesting way to persuade the eagerness of the students in participating the
discussion. Because according to Jerome Bruner that “There is no subject matter which is
difficult to learn. It is the method that the teacher uses that makes the subject matter easy
or difficult to learn.” As a teacher, I will find ways and use varied of instructional strategies
just to make my students understand, internalize, and can apply all the learning they have
acquired from my discussions.
