Learning Task No. 2
Direction : Identify on the blanks provided Who am I as a curricularist based on the cases
presented (Source : Curriculum Development by Bilbao et.al (2015).
Case 1 : EVALUATOR
I have a good idea on how to make my learners pay attention to the lesson. I will use the new
idea and find out if it will work.
Case 2 : IMPLEMENTER
DepEd sent the standards , competencies and guidelines in teaching the Mother Tongue in
Grade 1 in our school. I will study and use it in the coming school year.
Case 3 : PLANNER
There is so much to do in one school day. I seem not able to do all , but I have to accomplish
something for my learners. I have made a daily activity plan to guide me.
Case 4 : WRITER
I need a poem to celebrate the World Teachers’ Day. I composed one to be used in my class
in Literature.
Case 5 : INITIATOR
My class is composed of different home background and culture. I cannot use a “one - size-fits
all strategy” in teaching so I can respond to the diverse background. In mu readings , I
discovered that there are ways of teaching. I tried one myself and it worked.
Case 6 : KNOWER
Knowledge is limitless. What I learned in college is not enough. I need to know more , so I
enrolled in the graduate school to advance my learning.
Case 7 : EVALUATOR
At the end of the year , my performance as a teacher is reflected in the school performance of
my students. So I need to provide a monitoring tool to measure how they are progressing. The
result will inform me how will I address my learners’ weakness and enhance their strengths.
Case 8 : INNOVATOR
I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no electricity yet. Many of the instructional aids
for teaching sent to our school are films and video tapes which need power. I cannot use
them , but the lessons are very important. So I thought of making an alternative activity. I took
my class to the river and waterfall instead of doing the lesson.
Case 9 : WRITER
My principal asked me to attend a write shop to make the lesson exemplars in the teaching of
science in Grade 7. In the workshop , I used my experiences as a science teacher for ten
years and my knowledge of the subject matter. At the end of three days , I was able to produce
lesson exemplars which I am proud of.
Case 10 : IMPLEMENTER
In Grade 7 to Grade 10 of the K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum , science as a subject is presented
, taught and learned in a spiral manner. This is part of the DepEd implementing guidelines of
the curriculum. I am a Biology major , and I have insufficient knowledge about the other areas
of science such as Physics and earth Science. Because of this dilemma , I have to request the
principal that we have team teaching.
Learning Task No. 3
Direction : Read and reflect on the words of Ken Robinson about “Teachers are like
Garderners”
“ Great teachers create the conditions for success , just as gardeners do.
You cannot make a flower grow , but you can design and improve the
Condition for that flow of naturally occurring events”.
It’s the same for our students. We have the duty to create
the best conditions for students to flourish.
Write your insights about the above-stated lines:
According to Ken Robinson teachers are like a gardeners, what gardener does is nurture
the plant feeding it by giving the soil nutrients from fertilizer and water it every day for the
plant to absorb to make it healthy and when the climate is too hot or too cold farmers create a
green house to control the temperature gardener create an environment suitable for the plant
needs, just like a teachers feeding the learners a knowledge from books and other sources
teacher not just reading it out loud teacher also explain it for the student to absorb it, and when
learners are not nourishing well by evaluation assessment teacher can see and create an
Environment that fits trough their needs and where student can learn better. Even though
teachers can’t control what is in the mind of student there are things that teacher can control
that affect and improve the learning of student.
