A.THE TEACHERS, THE PARENTS
AND THE COMMUNITY
PARENTS
– the first teachers in the home; they are
responsible for the development of values,
attitudes and habits that will be needed as
their children associate with classmates in
school
TEACHERS – enrich the students’ experiences
at home, thus strengthening the valuable,
personal traits and characteristics initially
developed. In the end, the contrived attention
and efforts of both “custodians” are accorded
acknowledgement and recognition by members
of the community.
They are highly motivated to participate in the school
activities and projects that will likewise redound to the
uplifting of the moral and quality of life in their own
locality.
1. Difficulties
Teachers are endowed with a caring and
compassionate attitude that are expressed in
their love and unending sacrifice in guiding the
young. Despite conscious effort, children
experience difficulties and problems regarding:
• Ability to accomplish assignments,
• Irregular attendance,
• Study habits in school
• Negative attitudes, and
• Problem with self-discipline.
2. Solutions
The best way to thresh out causes and come up
with solutions is to conduct a dialogue wherein
parents may be invited to drop by the school or the
teacher may pay a visit to their home.
 A calm and friendly face to face exchange of
observations could straighten some disturbing
interactions ending with a promise of
undertaking remediation in both quarters.

 Positive attitudes of kindheartedness and


patience are developed through modeling.
 Regularity in attendance and doing daily
assignments need strong motivation and
encouragement from both sides.

 Letters and praises to parents for outstanding


performances build confidence and strengthen
determination to continue the good work.
 Interesting lessons never fail to motivate
students to be present everyday for an
enjoyable participation in them.

 Extremes of behavior need detailed


consideration of past experiences in school
and at home.
3. Values Developed
Values and strong inclinations are instilled
starting from the home and are developed
further in the school.
Students exhibiting exemplary traits must be
given due recognition. Awards conferred upon
responsible and well-behaved students set
examples that are emulated.
4. Interests
Special interest and innate talents noticed at a
young age such as heightened propensity for
music and drama, athletics and the arts must
be attended to by sensitive mentors and
guardians in order to provide them with
continued opportunities to attain full realization
of their natural gifts.
B. SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
School
- Is usually located at the center of the town or
city. As such, it is daily scrutiny by the members of
their community. Seeing their students at play or
work personnel busy with everyday tasks
and teacher with the usual eyeful watch,
everyone passing by witnessing such
would feel proud of their school.
Community
-would in turn show their gratitude and
School
appreciation by keeping their school surroundings
- came from the Greek word skholē meaning leisure,
clean and philosophy,
comfortable
place where lectures for
are given the children, and by
sharing resources whenever needed.
- an institution for teaching and learning
1. Collaborative Relationships
a.The school officials actively participate in
community projects such as literacy assistance project
for out-of school children and house campaign for
healthful practice.
b. The municipal/city officials are likewise ready to
provide help not only in improving the physical
facilities of the school but also in paying the salaries of
teachers who, for the moment, do not have teacher
items. There are a number of School Board-paid
teachers in the country.
c. During historic celebrations in both places,
participation by each is easily elicited. With such
positive and civic-consciousness activities enjoyed by
the school and the community, a strong feeling of
togetherness becomes evident.
2. Organized Associations
-Schools have organized Parent-Teacher Associations
(formerly referred to as Parents Teachers and Community
Associations) with the officers coming from both their
members.
Brigada Eskwela
- conducted at the beginning of the school year is
now institutionalized at the Department of Education
and has resulted to strong partnership of the school with
the community.
3. Public Safety, Beautification and Cleanliness
-Peace and order, safety in public conveyances and
compliance with ordinances afford ample protection and disciplinary
measures deserved by all. Beautification of the community through tree
planting in every household and cleanliness through proper waste disposal
are voluntarily undertaken by both, thus creating a disciplined and
wholesome community.
4. Values Exhibited
-Outstanding school personnel as well as
barangay officials are honored. This serves as a
motivation for both parties and their followers to
continue with their commendable practice.
5. Instructional Centers and Materials
-The community can serve as rich sources of
instructional materials.
