VII. Filipino Teaching Practices that I tried and worked in the US:

Peer tutoring -

Peer Assessment per group ( Teen-Rubrics!) -

Integrating Values in every lesson in Physics -

SMILES approach

-
MI Profiling

(determining my students multiple intelligence, dominant intelligence and recessive intelligence)

Teaching Filipino Culture for topics of relevance to lesson

Technology Integration in Lesson (Inquiry on Technology: How things work)

Forming line when moving from one classroom to another

Using music to convey lesson

Cooperative Learning and learning stations

Use of TOYS and indigenous instruments to teach concepts

-
Explanation of the value of raising hands for Filipinos to get students to internalize raising hands to get
permission

Assignment of Leaders -

Learning Respectful words in Filipino

Values Integration in Lessons and SMILES approach

VALUES INTEGRATION IN PHYSICS CLASSROOMS Measurement – Honesty in Business Laws of Motion –

Following rules Inertia – Safety in Driving Acceleration – Preventing Drag Racing Free Fall – humility
Density and Specific Gravity – Honesty vs. value for Life and family Projectile – Love of peace and not of
war; respect for life Circular Motion – Trust Mirror – Self Reflection Sound – Respect for others and
places that need silence Electricity- Conservation of Energy Friction- Safety vs. Frugality

SMILES APPROACH This study has been used by manila public schools in teaching different subjects in
different intelligences. This helps students enhance their dominant skills and improve their weaker
intelligences. Each lesson is designed to make the classroom a simulated learning environment for
different intelligence to learn at the same time. The result is higher achievement, more engagement,
less discipline problems, and improve attendance of students.

VII. Conclusion

There are a lot of practices in the Philippine schools that have worked through the years. The
Philippines, being a third world country is one of those low economic countries providing low budget
for education. A classroom of 50 students may have only one textbook, may lack chairs, lack technology
equipment needed for learning. But the great deprivation of a lot of things may have been one reason
why Filipinos have very high regard for education. One other reason is the competition in jobs requiring
college graduates to get good jobs. Every country may have their own practices which may work in their
countries and may not work for others. But the beauty of learning from each country’s efforts to
educate your minds and form young hearts in different methods from different cultural backgrounds is
the purpose of this session. It helps us to realize that education is fundamental and essential to every
person and every nation. It provides us a venue to know that what every country it is, the school brings
out the need for teachers who stay and make a difference not only in the classroom, nor in his or her
own country but … makes a difference in the world

Educational Leaders Thursday, September 08, 2016 CITY OF SAN FERNANDO --- The Information and
Communication Technology High School or ICTHS, considered as the first IT-oriented public secondary
school in Region III located in Sindalan, is one of the 362 leader schools tasked to support and help its
respective partner school, the City of San Fernando West Integrated School, reach its full potential and
consequently benefit the community under the DepEd School to School Partnership Program. Through
school-to-school partnerships, high-performing schools can be instruments for reform by sharing their
best practices and helping other schools improve their school performance using Learning Action Cells
(LAC), the Continuous Improvement (CI) Program, and School-Based Management (SBM). This requires
that high-performing schools become Leader Schools with active leadership roles, initiating partnerships
with other schools and taking on broader responsibilities to help elevate the performance of other
schools within their District or Division. To cultivate partnerships between Leader Schools and nearby
schools, DepEd has appropriated P900,000,000 to enable school-to-school partnerships. Leader Schools
shall receive funds to provide technical support and assistance to nearby schools that have not yet
reached their full potential in school performance. These school funds shall be used by Leader Schools
for sharing their best practices and for partnership activities with their nearby Partner Schools. Leader
schools are mandated to share best practices on curriculum which include the best practices on
Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment such as contextualization of learning materials and teaching
guides, creation of teacher-made learning materials for use in differentiated and innovative instruction,
capacity-building for teachers on content, pedagogy, classroom management, differentiated instruction,
and inclusive education, conduct of activities for teaching and assessment including the purchase of
supplies and materials necessary to conduct them, tapping Indigenous People (IP) resource persons
from the community to share their knowledge and practices, implementation of LAC projects
particularly for Special Education (SPED), Multigrade Education, and SHS; and organization, mobilization,
and other supporting activities LAC Project Teams. Other best practices that may be transferred include
programs and activities on leadership and governance and disaster risk reduction. (Michelle
