Objective #12 & #14

Which of the following best explains why teachers should regularly review their teaching practice against existing laws and the Code of Ethics?

• To find loopholes in policies for convenience

• To ensure they remain compliant, professional, and continuously improving

• To reduce the need for lesson planning and rely on personal judgment alone

• To avoid collaborating with colleagues or administrators

When a teacher checks their classroom management strategies against DepEd regulations, they are primarily ensuring:

• They can discipline students in any way they see fit

• They follow consistent, policy-based approaches that protect students’ rights

• They have an excuse to punish students severely

• They never have to justify their decisions to parents

How does the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers guide regular self-reflection?

• It only applies to senior teachers with many years of experience

• It provides detailed lesson plans that teachers must follow

• It outlines ethical responsibilities (e.g., fairness, confidentiality, respect) that teachers should check against their daily actions

• It primarily addresses salary concerns rather than teaching methods

Which practice demonstrates a teacher’s commitment to reviewing their compliance with professional standards?

• Ignoring feedback from colleagues regarding grading fairness
  

• Using the same approach each year without consulting new DepEd guidelines

• Maintaining a checklist referencing RA 4670 and Code of Ethics points to assess lesson conduct

• Relying solely on student complaints to decide if changes are needed

What is the key benefit of teachers regularly reflecting on their alignment with existing laws and ethical guidelines?

• They can reduce class hours by finding policy loopholes

• They ensure teaching quality, ethical conduct, and gain stakeholders’ trust
  

• They have more authority to discipline students however they want

• They avoid having to attend in-service trainings or workshops

Which of the following best illustrates a caring attitude in the classroom?

• Scolding students immediately when they make a mistake

• Allowing students to struggle without intervention

Respect in teaching is best demonstrated by:

• Speaking to parents only when problems arise

• Maintaining an open-door policy for students and colleagues

Which practice shows integrity in grading and assessments?

• Adjusting grades to please certain parents or administrators

A teacher who upholds the dignity of teaching typically:

• Avoids collaborating with peers to keep personal methods secret

• Yells at students to maintain strict discipline at all times

• Shows empathy, fairness, and ethical behavior in all interactions

• Focuses only on personal career growth, ignoring student needs
