Introduction A teacher as a professional will always be found in a school setting. There will be no school without the teacher because a teacher’s official working place is a school. A school is an institution where learning occurs under the guidance of a professional called the teacher. You will also find yourself in one of these schools when you become a full fledged teacher. How does a teacher operate or function in a school setting? How will a teacher manage the physical as well as the psychological environment in the school?

Introduction In the Philippines, the government has built schools in almost all strategic barangays, town or city. This is done to provide access and equal opportunity for every school child to achieve quality education. At present, there are more than half a million public school teachers deployed in all these schools throughout the century. The school and the teacher in every school have very crucial responsibilities in contributing to the change and development in every community.

My Concrete Experience ACTIVITY 1 – RAPID COMMUNITY SURVEY This activity shall be done preferably during the weekend, when the community people are at their homes. Permission to conduct the community survey should be secured from your teacher. The same permission shall be asked from the Barangay officials. It is suggested that this activity will be made by groups of five, to facilitate the collection of the data. As a group, you will enhance your understanding of the community situation which you will survey. In a way, this will be your community immersion activity.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Here are the steps: Report to the Barangay Captain or Punong Barangay upon arrival in the community. Peruse a community map to find out the area you are going to cover.

4. What does the community benefit from joining in your school activities?
