after they informed me that I was hired.
2. Illustrate the things and objects symbolic of the process of recruitment, selection, and appointment

where the exigencies of the service so require, any teacher may be required to render more than 6
hours but not exceeding 8 hours of actual teaching hours a day. How does this affect your integrity
and professional duties as a teacher?

Answer these questions:

1. Do some quick math to compare how much Alana is spending for her needs and for her wants.
 Alana is spending 8, 000 for her needs and 11, 500 her wants
2. What should be her goals by this time?
 Alana should use her money more on her needs than her wants for her to be able to
make both ends meet.
3. What 2-3 options would you outline for Alana to help her achieve her goals? Be ready to discuss
with her the ways to adjust her budget. Be specific with your recommendations, highlighting
specific principles in achieving financial success.
 Budget her salary in all times for her to monitor what she is spending, before
spending ask herself if she is buying what she needs.
Assessment 2. “Sangla ng ATM”
Another case you will read is about the plight of teachers who have succumb to money lenders.
32
1. Why do you think the so called “Sangla ng ATM” is happening to teachers and personnel of the
department?
 Salary is not enough
2. How can the teachers get out of that situation?
 Higher the salary of the teachers
3. What recommendations can you give them?
 Save their money, and invest it if they can
A ‘yes’ to any of these questions is a sign that you may need to make debt payoff a priority.
Write your reflection here.
Sometimes I have a problem financially but that

situation rarely occurs because I have some
money saved in my bank account. Sometimes it
is better to save money than to spend because in
the future, you might need it and never know if
an emergency will take place.
Assessment 5.
My Budget and Spending Plan This simple plan will help you budget your monthly income. Include in this
budget plan your savings, debt payment and bill payment.
Month & Year: August, 2021
Total Income: 23, 877
Savings/Item/Service Need / Want? Targeted Cost Actual Cost
Electricity Need 2,000 1,500
Water Need 1,000 600
Food Need 6,000 6,000
Internet Need 1,000 1,000
Clothes Want 2,000 1,600
Fuel Need 2,000 2,000
Savings Need 3,000 3,000
Total 17,000 15,700
REFLECTION:
I realized that my monthly income is enough for me to save money. I need to spend most of my
money to what I need and not too what I want but sometimes it’s okay to spend for your wants as
long as you won’t spend all your money for it.
SESSION 4: HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM
Activities and Assessment

Activity 1. On Facing Life’s Challenges
Here are situations/ thoughts for you to ponder. Tell us what you think and how will you react to the
following situations. Your responses might give you a glimpse of what you do when confronted with similar
or related situations in the future.
33
On positivity vs reality
Make your first thought of the day: “Great things will happen today.”
You woke up early with a smile, thinking for a happy day. Yet while
contemplating on it you were alerted from a call coming from the
school security guard telling you that the faucet in your room is still
running, for it was not turned off yesterday. They cannot open the door
for you did not leave the key in the guard house. Your room is adjacent
to the office, who is already in his/her office.
What would be your initial reaction?

 I will pause for a moment and will stay calm
What would you do?
 I will ask the guard if he can destroy the lock or otherwise I went immediately in my
classroom.
What insights have you gained?
 Be clam in the entire situation. Think of the solution instead of blaming others on
why it happened.
On sleeping well vs preparing well
You came home tired, with a headache. You wanted to have an early
night sleep. Yet you are worried for the coming of the visitors from the
division office to observe classes the following day. Being a newly hired
teacher, you are sick worried for you might be chosen to be observed.
That’s why you have to prepare instructional materials and enhance
your daily lesson plan. You know that you will end up sleeping at 12:00
to 1:00 o’clock in the morning.
What would be your initial reaction?

 I will not complain and just welcome the visitors
What would you do?
 Make use of the remaining time to be productive and be well prepared for the
lesson
What insights have you gained?
 Be ready at all times.
34
On breaking the fast vs making it fast!
Skipping Breakfast altogether
It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day: You have known it ever since.
Yet here you are making it the second priority of your day.
You sleep late, for you spent the night exchanging texts messages in the messenger with a
“special friend”. Naturally you woke up late. You are in a hurry to go to school knowing that its
Monday and you need to be early for you it’s your turn to lead the morning activity of the flag
ceremony. The food is already set on the table and its aroma is enticing you to taste it. The
time is 6:50 AM. The ceremony starts at 7:00. You still need to walk 10 minutes to school. But
you promise your mother that you will no longer skip breakfast.
Tell us what you think

 Naturally, teachers don’t wake up late because we know our responsibility
and we’ll know well how to manage our time
Tell us what you will do
 I will always eat my breakfast since it is the most important meal of the day.
Tell us what insight you will learn
 Be mindful of your health always.
On medical expenses vs basic household expenses
You feel well; you seldom catch colds or cough. Yet your colleague who
seems as healthy as you always visits her doctor for a general check-up
from time to time. You on the other hand think it’s not your priority for
your salary is just enough for your personal needs and the needs of your
parents whom you promise to help them with the school expenses of your
3 siblings. Just today your colleague is asking you if you would like to visit a
doctor with her for a check-up.

 I think it is good to have a general check-up once in a while to be updated
about my health.
 I will go with my colleague since it is important to have a general check-up
twice a year
Tell us what insights you have gained
 We need to take care of our health always.
35
On expressing anger vs handling stress
Team in Crisis
As human beings, we are each subject to a range of emotions from elation to rage.
While anger is a normal human emotion, it is important to express anger in healthy
ways that are appropriate in the workplace setting. It’s a hectic day for the all of you.
Your school is scheduled to be visited by the regional evaluators on the “Barkada
Kontra Druga” Program tomorrow. Your group is assigned to take charge of the
decoration of the hall. While working one of the members, the niece of the principal
adamantly refuses to extend her time for she has visitors waiting at home. You really
need to finish the task for tomorrow’s activity.

 I think that it is not appropriate for her to leave because of his visitors
 I will tell her to stay and cooperate with what we are doing so that all of us
can go home immediately
Tell us what insight you have gained
 There are a lot of sudden changes that teachers are facing especially with
time. Most of the time we spent so many hours to finish our work at school.
Aside from that, our supervisor give additional work that is related to our
responsibilities
Reflection
Journal Writing o In what concrete ways does the session help me become a more health conscious teacher
in promoting a positive health habit?
 As a teacher, I am reminded that being healthy not just physically and
mentally can contribute in my responsibilities at my work. I need to be
healthy not because I need it but because there are children who are
expecting me to come to work and learn from me. I am expected to be role
model to my students, therefore I need to practice and follow my health plan
religiously.
