The Teaching Profession

Melody C. Abuan Bsed II Major in Filipino

Answer the following:

A. School and Community Relations

1. Describe how school and community officials work together in each of the following
events:

A. Socio-Cultural Activities
The school and community prepare for socio-cultural activities by first letting the
students know what the current cultural activity is. By doing this, the school helps its
students learn the community’s values and make it easier for them to engage to it. The
community which includes the barangay usually holds a contest where each school in
its jurisdiction will participate. This happened once when I was in high school, where the
barangay made a contest to celebrate its festival and selected students from all the
schools went into a parade on the streets dancing the choreography they’ve made to
interpret the town’s festival, while residents from the neighborhood came out of their
homes to watch.

B. Peace and order situation

b1. Inside the School
Peace and order is maintained inside the school by equipping students with the
proper values and manners. This is done through enriching the initial manners and
values taught to them by their parents, with the means of teaching it inside the
classroom. If students possess the right attitude, less quarrels will occur in the school.
Schools also hire security guards.
b2. Outside the School
peace and order outside of the school is implemented by the community with the
help of the local government’s personnel’s such as barangay tanod’s to keep the area
safe. Our high school had an elementary school neighbor which was separated only by
a wall and barangay tanod’s were assigned in the middle of the two schools to keep
watch and provide a peaceful environment for learning.
C. Projects

Schools and its community work together in projects by doing tree planting, school
clean-ups, proper waste disposal and more. Most of the projects administered by the
school and community aims to improve both of its environment that’s why it’s beneficial.
