Activity No. 6.2: CONTEMPLATHINK

Direction: Comprehensively discuss your answers on the box provided from the
questions posed.

1. As a future teacher, how are you going to handle learners with special
educational needs in your classroom after learning this lesson, specifically RA
7277?

As a teacher, I will handle the learners with special educational needs in my classroom
there are things to consider when handling children with special needs are keeping the
classroom organized, remember that each child is an individual with different talents and
skills, give the students opportunities to success, and lastly is keep things in simple. As a
future teacher, I could say I am aware the law of disabled persons that every person with
special needs has rights to everything, just like the normal people and if there are cases of
discriminating to the person with special needs I could use them to protect them.

2. Bullying is most common among children specifically to school – age. Mostly disabled persons
are susceptible to this instance. What steps and how would you manage your class when you
discover that one of your learners has been found guilty of discrimination against disabled
person?

For me, the first thing to do is to talk the child about his/her behavior of bullying to
someone who is disabled so that I could get some information and take an action on it.
Secondly, I will communicate to their parents about their child behavior so they will
become aware what their children been doing inside of the classroom. In these steps,
this could help in lessen the act of bullying inside of the school or even in the classroom
and it’s my responsibilities to act responsibly.
