projects to develop communication and teamwork skills.
Objective 9:
Question: Currently there are debates in the congress about the Mother Tongue-based
Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) for abolishment. But according to recent study there are
improvements on learners language acquisition. As a DepEd teacher aspirant, what is your
stand about this issue and what is its role in language acquisition?
Answer: As a DepEd teacher aspirant, I believe that Mother Tongue-based Multilingual
Education (MTB-MLE) is an essential tool for improving language acquisition among learners.
Research has shown that using the mother tongue as a medium of instruction can lead to better
academic performance, cognitive development, and language skills. The benefits of MTB-MLE
are particularly significant for students who come from minority language backgrounds or who
may not have had exposure to the dominant language at home. By using the mother tongue as
a bridge to the dominant language, students can develop a deeper understanding of academic
concepts and improve their overall language proficiency. Abolishing MTB-MLE would be a step
backward for language education in the Philippines. Instead, we should continue to invest in
MTB-MLE programs and ensure that they are well-implemented and effectively supported. This
includes providing adequate teacher training, developing high-quality instructional materials,
and promoting community involvement in language education.

3.How does the professional code of ethics for teacher helps you in your teaching practice? Cite an
example where you apply this practice and what is the result?

ANSWER: The professional code of ethics for teachers serves as a guiding framework that helps
educators maintain high standards of conduct, professionalism, and integrity in their teaching
practice. By adhering to these ethical principles, teachers can ensure the well-being of students,
foster a positive learning environment, and uphold the reputation of the teaching profession.

One example of applying the professional code of ethics in my teaching practice is maintaining
confidentiality. As a teacher, I encountered a situation where a student confided in me about a
personal issue that was affecting their academic performance. By respecting the student's
confidentiality and not disclosing the information to others without their consent, I was able to build
trust with the student and create a safe space for them to seek support.

The result of upholding confidentiality in this situation was that the student felt more comfortable
opening up about their challenges and seeking guidance. This enabled me to provide appropriate

essential for promoting inclusive education and supporting student success. Some ways to achieve
this include:

1. Differentiated Instruction: Tailoring teaching methods, materials, and assessments to

accommodate students' varying learning styles, abilities, and interests.

2. Cultural Responsiveness: Incorporating diverse perspectives, experiences, and resources into the
curriculum to make learning relevant and engaging for all students.

3. Flexible Grouping: Allowing students to work in different group configurations based on their
strengths, preferences, and needs.

4. Individualized Support: Providing personalized support, accommodations, and interventions for

students with learning challenges or disabilities.

An example of a situation where I experienced the importance of a responsive learning environment

was when I had a student with a learning disability in my class. By implementing differentiated
instruction strategies such as providing alternative assignments, using visual aids, and offering
additional support during assessments, I was able to accommodate the student's unique learning
needs.

As a result, the student showed improved engagement, confidence, and academic performance. By
creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment that catered to the student's specific needs,
I not only helped the student succeed academically but also fostered a sense of belonging and
acceptance within the classroom community. This experience reinforced the importance of
recognizing and accommodating the diverse needs of all learners to promote equitable access to
education and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
