Episode 4.4: Enriching Teaching Practices through Professional Collaboration
Professional collaboration is important to empower teachers in shaping society’s young
minds. It will also enrich their teaching practices and skills set. This lesson will guide you in
understanding how teachers can collaborate with other educators to augment their teaching practices.

Objectives:
1. Discuss how teachers can collaborate with other educators to improve teaching practices.
2. Observe how teachers participate in collegial discussions to gather learning feedback to
enrich teaching practices.
3. Observe professional collaboration among teachers.

Education Theory
Teachers need to reflect on their teaching practices (Danielson, 2017). They need to commit
themselves to continuous improvement that requires professional collaboration with colleagues.
Implementing a curriculum is a collaborative task of the whole school. It is never an individual task.
Teachers need to share their experiences and expertise to improve the implementation of the
curriculum.

In ensuring the proper implementation of the K to 12 basic education curriculum, based on

RA 10533, the following instructional approaches need to be applied by the teachers:

 Learner – centered, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate

 Relevant, responsive, and researched – based

 Culture – sensitive

 Contextualized and global

 Constructivist, inquiry – based, reflective, collaborative, and integrative pedagogical

approaches.

These approaches demand greater collaboration and cooperation among teachers and
stakeholders. There are so many things that a teacher needs to learn for the K to 12 curriculum.
