Now, think of any words that give descriptions, or qualities to a teacher who you
think is a leader. Write them down as pointed by arrows.
Caring
Shows empathy
Approachable Supportive
Knowledgeable
Have patience
Committed
Have positive attitude
If you answered “A” the majority of the time, you are probably more of a manager. If you
answered “B” the majority of the time, you are more of a leader. Not all managers are
leaders but all leaders have to be managers to some degree. Use these questions to help
you discover areas of growth for becoming more of a leader people follow than a manager
people submit to.
Analysis
Base on the above activity, answer the questions below as guide for reflective
thinking. Use the space after each question to discuss your answer.
Application
A. Below are the situations that usually took place in a typical school.
Imagine that you are the school head. Challenge your leadership
skills on how you will respond to the following situations. Write
your response to the space provided.
2. Your school recruits a new faculty raised from the city. You were
raised in an area where everyone says things indirectly and gently,
but your new hire is more direct.
Base on the above activity, answer the questions below as a guide for
reflective thinking. Use the space after each question for your answer.
1. What actions work in favor of achieving the group’s goal? If the
group failed, what actions do you think didn’t work well?
Members may accomplish their mutual goals once they share a
high degree of commitment. This must be described and established in
such a way that each member understands the common goal. And if the group failed, I
am responsible for conveying a good vision of what my members perceive. A
vision strategy which is likely to expose some members' concerns,
misunderstandings, or defenses, that must be positively handled.
2. Did your team choose a leader? How the decision was done?
3. If no leader was initially chosen, did a leader emerge as the activity took place?
Leaders hold a special role in their organizations, maintaining
control and giving guidance. Without these guidance, everything would be
in chaos. Many leaders emerge as a result of the demands of the situation.
Different scenarios involve distinct combinations of experience, talents, and
ability. Therefore, the group will find another person who has the
expertise, talents, and abilities that the group needs in order to accomplish its
objectives.
Application
What’s your leadership styles? When you lead for the first time, you might adopt a
style of leadership that you've experienced from someone else, or that you've heard or
read about. If it seems to work, you'll likely stick with it – in effect, it becomes "your"
style. This quiz will help you to identify the style that you naturally lean toward, and
introduce you to alternative approaches that you might find it helpful to develop, and
the occasions when they may be appropriate. Read the following statements and
indicate how you would most likely behave if you were the group/team leader, choosing
from the following rating: A = Always, F = Frequently, O = Occasionally, S = Seldom,
N = Never. Write letter only before each item.
F 8. I would expect input from everyone on how best to get a job done.
A 10. I would let the members do their work the way they think best.
S 15. I would turn the members loose on a job and let them go to it.
A 17. People would sign up for tasks depending on what they enjoyed doing.
F 20. I would decide what should be done and how it should be done.
F 22. I would give authority to only those members I felt I could control.
O 35. I would ask that group members follow standard rules and regulations.
When you are done completing the questionnaire, place check mark (✓) on the following
items 1, 4, 6, 11, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, and 35 that were
answered with “Frequently” or “Always” while asterisk (*) beside numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9,
10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 24, 26, 27, 28, and 32 that were answered with “Frequently” or
“Always”. Those with several check marks lean toward an authoritarian style of leadership.
They take control and like things to be done their way. Those with several asterisks tend
toward a team (democratic or participative) style of leadership.
Leader Identification. In this activity, I want you to identify a person you regard as a
great (effective) leader. This leader could be someone you know, or someone you have
heard of or have read about. Write his/her name on the circle in the center, then write
down the qualities/characteristics or skills/abilities you believe have made this person
an effective leader on the outside circles.

Lesson 3-Leadership Theories and Models
Activity
Survival Game. Below are 5 situations that deal with different aspects of human
survival in a barren region. For each of the 5 questions, you must individually choose
the solution that seems best. Imagine you are in that region, alone and have very limited
survival equipment. Once you have individually answered each question, form a group
chat of 5 members to review each question with you. Your group must decide, by
reaching a consensus, what is the best alternative for each situation. You must not,
under any circumstances, change your individual answers after the team discussion.
Individual answers and group answers will then be compared with responses provided.
Situation 1. You are lost in a wild region and you are hungry. The best way
for you to recognize edible plants (at least those you don’t know) is to:
Situation 2. The weather is turning warm and dry. You have about one
litre of water with you. You should:
a. Ration the water and just drink approximately one cup a day.
b. Refrain from drinking before halting for the night; then drink
what you think you need.
c. Drink as much as you feel you need because you are thirsty.
Situation 3. You find yourself in a snake-infested area. The best way to protect yourself
from the snakes is to:
Situation 4. The weather is turning warm and dry. You have about one liter of water
with you. You should:
a. Ration the water and just drink approximately one cup a day.
b. Refrain from drinking before halting for the night; then drink what you think
you need.
c. Drink as much as you feel you need because you are thirsty.
Situation 5. You find yourself on stony terrain over which you must climb to
pass. The boulders are - moss-covered and slippery. You must climb:

5. Did you recognize the different skills and knowledge within your team?
Yes, since all of us participate fully in this activity, and some exposed their
skills and share a lot of information which can help in gaining new ideas with
the work of unity.
Application
Discuss with Me. Identify which of the situational leadership styles (e.g., autocratic,
bureaucratic, democratic, laissez-faire) is most likely to be demonstrated in each of the
behavior styles in Hersey-and Blanchard Situational Model. Justify how each
leadership style becomes effective in the given behaviors. Write your discussion in a
white bond paper of not less than 500 words. Fold the paper and insert it in this module
page.
What’s the Implication? Aside from the implications of the leadership theories
discussed above, what other implications to education you can still think of? Write
down your answers after every theory.
4. Behaviorist Theory
The behavioral leadership theory reflects on how leaders respond and
suggests that these characteristics will be admired by other leaders. It
implies that leaders are not born productive, but can be developed by fairly
basic actions.
Analysis
Think about the best teacher you’ve had since then, you probably remember
those who saw you as your own person, who challenged you, who helped you grow and
learn. Write below how this best teacher transformed you into what you are now.
Aside from my parents, my teachers have had the most influence on my
life. And I am grateful for their efforts. It helps me to become a better
person and appreciate the beauty of the real world. After decades of
identifying or carrying students, and modifying textbooks and exams, we
now realize that the expertise and abilities of our teachers are the most major
components in developing education.

What should you do? Below are situations that would challenge your leadership skills.
Let’s see how well you respond to each situation.
1. You are introducing new changes in your school. However, Filipinos usually
subscribe to our “ningas cogon” mentality. How this Filipino mentality affects
the implementation of the changes. As a school head, how will you counteract
it?
As a leader, I should be able to communicate with the people with whom I
interact. And then I will introduce the whole subject matter and then act as if it's a
cultural movement that will presenting to the audience, and the Ningas-Congon
mindset was now removed, and they won't easily lose interest in the new
idea.
2. Most of your teachers are young and novice to the system. But when you
introduce to them a task. Some are hesitant because they lack the confidence to
take risks and do the task. As their leader, what will you do to keep them on
task?
This technique has proven to be unsuccessful for both innovation and for
novice teachers. Hence, I will create a school-wide community of
technology adoption and risk-taking that can illustrate and benefit teachers
from these challenges.
Face to Face with the Leader. In this task, you will be given a chance to talk to the
leader you admire most in your locality. Ask him on his/her best practices in leading
his team or group. Video-document your interview and be ready to share your video
with the class.
Reflection. Choose at least one leadership theory or model and how this theory/model
will impact the school, the teachers, the students, and the community.

Draw a Symbol
In this activity, you are going to draw an object that symbolizes
teacher leadership. Explain why you choose that symbol for
teacher leadership.
We all know that teachers are our leaders. They create a specific model
with how they think, talk, and act. They guide their students through intensive learning
opportunities and engaging activities. Their ability to commit with students to expand their
programs and services demonstrates their effort to improve students' academic and social
interactions. Indeed, teachers are very passionate about teaching and evaluating. They fulfill their
interest by keeping up to pace with the most effective evidence strategies for educating their
students. Furthermore, they are knowledgeable about personal development in order advance
their life goals.
8. What do you think are the key areas that can foster the growth
of teacher leaders?
Knowledge and skill in engaging others in complex work
are key areas of a teacher leader. It also requires an
ideological commitment for the school's central purpose and the
strength to face challenges to completing that mission. Hence,
this will foster the growth of the teachers.

education school heads/principals about the policy implementation of SBM, SIP,
and Brigada Eskwela.
I’m sorry ma’am if I haven’t answered this part, I already contacted these people in
my past school, but they didn’t respond. Since the school was in a preparation for a
virtual graduation, and I think they’re busy. Hoping for your kind and consideration
ma’am, thank you.
