The participant tries to articulate the role of a

She maintains a high level of motivation and

seizing opportunities to be involved in a

developing and sustaining positive
relationships with colleagues; balances their
work and personal lives.
An effective teacher is willing to think outside

focus on student Effective teaching makes an impact in the
achievement lives of people in the community across all
ages. The Research program that the
participant had improvised for HS students
has proved to be successful because it has
prepared them to hurdle the challenge of
College life which they will undergo.
The success of the program lies on its
relevance and function in these modern times
where research in the academic community is
given high rating. So, it was really
advantageous, learner-centered activity
which centers around the objective of
empowerment through learning.

participant, it had become her strength which
made her a winner.
Teaching diverse children requires accepting
and recognizing contribution in every work or
efforts done for the achievement of a learning
task or objective.
An effective teacher challenges their students.
This is because they challenge their students
and push them harder than the average
teacher does. These are the teachers who are
often students’ least favorite teachers at the

that mahirap para sa master's student,
"bakit kayo nagtuturo ng research sa high
school?". so, i told them, "we have our own
way of making high school students thesis
writing and research in the high school and
we have not failed because all of them, no
students was left behind because of non-
completion of the thesis. so, i am happy to
tell you that". that was also the question to
me by secretary, by one of the panel, "what
is your proof that your research subject,
your teaching research in the high school is
effective?".
yes, it was effective because i have 100%
graduated students, because 100% of my
students graduated in high school every
year. walang nakaleft behind na mga bata.
the proof is the bound thesis in our school. if
you go to our school, all the thesis are there,
it is classified by major--music, dance,
theatre, media arts, visual arts and even

experimental research. i used to classify

that because that is the center of research
for the whole region. so, 'pag nag field trip

us ahead, one of us teaching research would

the child would like to write if you don’t
know the content of the field that they are
majoring on. as a teacher in research ,
specifically in the school for the arts, i need
 9

to understand the content of the different

major fields. so, my role there is to guide
the children, but first, they need to tell you
what the plan to do and your role is to
guide. of course, we do some question &
answer panel discussion because the child
has the idea that they don’t know how to
write, they have all the ideas, but they do
not know how to write. so, my role there as
a teacher is to guide
them what to do and of course show to
them how this is done and motivate them to
finish their own thesis.

Empowerment • yung balik-paaralan that is presently the alternative learning system because
they used to change the name, so, originally tawag doon ay BPOSA. then later
Establishing Linkages on, ang ALS under sa non-formal education but later on yung kanilang system
management nagiiba yung BPOSA they used to go to school using the module,
then they attend their classes during saturdays, and sometimes, they dont report
to you because they are working so ang estudyante hindi ma-drop, they are just
inactive. Inactive in the sense that they dont go to school because they are at
work. pinapabayaan lang siya, they'll just go back to you. kino-contact mo siya,
"how are you going?", "is something happening to you?where are your
modules?", "ma'am busy ako, i'll just see you next week..." so, proper monitoring
kasi yung iba taxi-driver...
• then pagkagraduate nila, binibisitahan yung kanilang mga negosyo, may
monitoring and tracking system pa rin, and we organize a cooperative. sa ngayon
may cooperative kami. yung mga miyembro yung mga instructional manager,
tawag sa kanila ngayon instructional manager yung mga teachers. may area
yan--music, english, science, math, so, may entrepreneurship siya. yung
entrepreneurship talagang nandun. may dalawang system, yun yung
magpapatuloy ng kanyang education to college, academic then the other one is
the entrepreneurship. if you will go on academic side then you will take it up. yun
yung senior high school program, nagiba lang ng pangalan talagang ini-
implement since 1997 pa. so yung nagacademic side, they would take up test
then they would proceed sa college. so, yung certificate of completion talagang
 19

signed by the DepEd secretary, dinadala sa school. you have to take your
entrance to the college then yun na lang yung card mo kasi yung rating namin
nung una is ABC lang hindi numerical. so descriptive yung rating nila but later on
hindi na ako yung coordinator, nag-iba na yung pangalan ALS na naman. yung
system ng ALS alam ko pa rin kasi assistant to the principal for special projects
and programs sa school. so, alam ko yung kanilang management on how to
conduct that. so parang expanded PEPT parang hindi na sila ngayon nagbibigay
ng entrepreneurial. accreditation and equivalencies , so parang expanded PEPT
yan talagang they go to school they accomplish the module. guided na sila then
they would take the exam ng mga august or september. so, titignan yan kung
ikaw ay anung level ka na. pero yung iba sa second level pa lang, pagkuha nila
ng exam they pass high school na, so, they go to college na. yung mga passers at
present they also attend the graduation program ng whole school they have their
own toga. so, yung brother-in-law ko, younger brother n ghusband ko, he is a
PEPT passer. from third year, nag jump siya to college. now he is the president of
the Carlos Hilado Memorial College, they are now in Australia, si Dr. Renato
Soralla. 1998 awarding, so, PEPT passer, he did not finish his high school but he is
a good example of ALS. sabi ko sa kanya, "...soralla, you'll be invited". so, its the
pride of the metrobank that one of the awardees is an ALS passer. so i-invitenain
siya siguro sa orientation ng ALS
• and we put up the regional research center. so, yung center was donated by our
alumni, the group of senator Santiago batch 61 when they had their golden
jubilee. so, they put up a research center pag alam ng regional office ng DepEd
inilipat yung ibang thesisng masteral pati ng doctoral sa research center namin.
yung mga naggra-graduate studies they used to go to our school, they used to go
to the DepEd regional office. meron na silang pupuntahan research center aside
from that in the DepEd regional office.
• yung unang batch, yung kanilang requirement for graduation is a business plan.
so, livelihood, they have to write a business plan and i used to find sources of
fund, so,guided ng DepEd, yung iba DSWD. may financial support na binibigaysa
 20

kanila, so, mga way back 2000, 1997/1999 they were given 5,000 an initial
capital for their proposed projects.
