Gabay sa Magulang/Tagapag-alaga

Ang modyul na ito ay isinulat upang gabayan ang inyong mag-aaral na

linangin ang kanyang aspetong personal at sosyal, akademiko, at panglipunan.
Ito ay dinisenyo para sa “distance learning” o alternatibong pamamaraan ng
pagkatuto na hindi nangangailangan ng pisikal na presensya sa paaralan,
bilang tugon sa direktiba na pagkansela ng “face-to-face class” dulot ng
pandemyang COVID-19.
Maaaring may mga pagkakataon na hingin ng inyong mag-aaral ang
inyong patnubay sa pagsunod sa mga tagubilin at pagsagot sa mga tanong sa
bawat bahagi ng mga gawain. Hinihiling ng kagawaran ang inyong suporta
upang matagumpay niyang maisakatuparan ang mga gawaing ito. Ang araling
ito ay makakatulong upang hubugin ang kanyang kabutihan na tanggapin ang
pagkakaiba-iba ng bawat tao sa katangian, kakayahan, damdamin at pananaw.
Tiyakin na sasagutin niya ang bawat bahagi ng modyul nang tapat hangga't
maaari, kapag siya ay sumasagot sa mga gawain at pagtatasa. Siguraduhing
maipapasa niya ang kanyang sagutang papel sa petsa at oras na itinakda ng
kanyang gurong-tagapayo.
Sa bahagi ng “Let’s Try This at Let’s explore this”, bawat miyembro ng
pamilya ay kaagapay ng mag aaral sa pagsagot sa mga gawaing nakatala dito.

Helping others and the community does not necessarily mean that you have a lot of
money. There are numerous ways to help others and the community. During this pandemic
the presence of the community pantry is a way of helping others. Bayanihan of the people
during this time was recognized and appreciated. Personal resources such as your talents,
skills and abilities could also be shared to advocate which enables the people to be active
citizens and help others with matters that affect one’s life. Communities have problems, just
like us people. Addressing family and social problems and issues must be dealt with effectively
to avoid it from getting worse.

Here are the step by step process to deal with problem/s effectively in our family and
community.
