If this is not possible, you may contact an HR employee of Teach for the Philippines who shall advise you on the next steps, 6. Expectations for Operating Effectively at Teach for the Philippines 6.1 Teach for the Philippines offers a unique privilege to serve the children of the Philippines while learning key leadership skills for the future, while in the Cohort. Teach for the Philippines believes this will facilitate a rich and meaningful experience for the FELLOWS that will foster professional development and an investment in the movement for educational equity. The freedom and autonomy granted to the FELLOWS in the Cohort are not absolute and Teach for the Philippines has developed a support structure to ensure that every child associated with the Teach For The Philippines program undergoes an excellent classroom experience, that every Fellow in the Cohort is pushed to further his or her skills and leadership competencies. Teach for the Philippines has a moral obligation to ensure that every Fellow in the Cohort behaves and acts in a manner that is respectful, that accelerates his or her own development, and that does not negatively affect the programs staff or supporters, his or her co-Fellows, and the Teach for the Philippines community. 6.2 If you fail to meet basic expectations and act in a manner that is harmful to any of the programs key stakeholders, you should expect to be challenged. Any failure to meet the expectations set by Teach for the Philippines will be looked into by Teach for the Philippines and if necessary, Teach for the Philippines will take the appropriate action and ensure that the FELLOW receives the prioritized support that is needed. 6.3 Teach for the Philippines believes that every member of the Fellowship should feel like he or she is a valuable and key part of Teach for the Philippines and is proud to represent both Teach for the Philippines and the international movement for educational equity the Teach for All network. 6.4 Teach for the Philippines also believes that it is impossible to operate successfully as a Fellow without meeting the following basic expectations: 6.4.1 Operating effectively: Self 6.4.1.1 You understand and commit to the movement towards educational equality. You believe and are committed to the mission of Teach for the Philippines that every Filipino child has the right to an education without compromise, an education that is inclusive, relevant and excellent. 6.4.1.2 You must adher e and act in accordance with Teach for the Philippines Core Values, to wit: 6.4.1.2.1 Leaders focus on the mission. The statement of purpose of Teach for the Philippines, its reason for existing, is our mission: We identify, develop, and support a community of leaders working to end education inequity in the Philippines. We can only achieve our vision and mission for education if we channel our efforts towards a single purpose. Success comes when distractions are minimized and when we (Updated as of 10 January 2014)

keep our eyes on the ball. When we face difficult or ambiguous decisions, we fall back on our mission as our guiding light. 6.4.1.2.2 Leaders constantly learn from everyone and everything. To work in Teach for the Philippines, we were handpicked for our leadership achievement and potential. In modeling leadership, it is critical to take a sense of humility into the world. Leaders maximize learning opportunities by having the humble eagerness to learn something from everybody and everything. In this way, learning opportunities are unlimited. 6.4.1.2.3 Leaders roll up their sleeves to attain shared goals. Leaders know that success in achieving their goal is dependent on the success of the whole, rather than on the success of an individual. We all have our own roles to play, and we recognize the need to lend each other a helping hand even when the tasks are outside our formal duties and responsibilities. 6.4.1.2.4 Leaders operate with integrity. The vision of success includes operating with honesty, respect, and generosity. We act professionally and responsibly. We take full ownership of commitments, and we respect others time and resources. We speak truthfully and respectfully by sharing facts with good intentions, even in difficult or stressful situations. 6.4.1.2.5 Leaders build strong partnerships and collaborate. Leaders build strong partnerships and collaborate with others to achieve the mission. Social change is a consensus amongst many different organizations, cultures, and orientations. Thus, we practice inclusivity as we bring people together by influencing those around us. Creating impact through social change means working with others, inside and outside our organization. As an organization, we work with established lines of authority to enact change. We do not circumvent or disrespect our current leaders. 6.4.1.2.6 Leaders act decisively and excellently, despite ambiguity. Leaders take action; running towards, rather than away from, fires. They quell fear to act decisively, despite uncertainty or ambiguity. In taking decisive action to deliver, Leaders still commit to maintaining the high standards expected of them. Key to this action and commitment to excellence, we understand and welcome change as it happens. 6.4.1.2.7 Leaders persevere. In pursuit of the mission, Leaders are bold and creative in tackling challenges they face. Our work is complex and gratification is often delayed, but leaders within Teach for the Philippines proactively make the effort to solve problems . 6.4.1.3 Specifically, this includes adherence to Teach for the Philippines policies and the expected levels of professional conduct. 6.4.1.4 You must communicate using respectful language and tone through the appropriate and relevant channels of communication (Leadership Development Officers, Function Managers, Associates, Directors, Open Fora, and if an issue remains unresolved, to Human Resources). The use of any social media group and group or mass emails beyond a Leadership Development Officer group is not an appropriate form of communication to raise concerns or personal issues. The use of defamatory or offensive language or tone with other FELLOWS, Staff or third persons, online or on social media is never acceptable in any forum. 6.4.2 Operating effectively: Class and school community 6.4.2.1 You must arrive on time at the designated school and be present for their committed hours during the school day, every day that there are classes, as (Updated as of 10 January 2014)

determined by your placement school calendar. Except in case of an extreme emergency, taking a leave of absence during school hours is not acceptable. 6.4.2.2 In exceptional circumstances where your health prevents you from attending school, you must inform, and they must acknowledge, your Leadership Development Officer and Principal by telephone before class is due to start. Communicating this information to the Leadership Development Officer and Principal after class has commenced is not acceptable. Communication by SMS, word of mouth or through other Fellows is not acceptable. 6.4.2.3 As a FELLOW of Teach for the Philippines, you are responsible for the education and well-being of the children in the class that is assigned to you. It is, therefore, essential that you are equipped and prepared for every school day with relevant and appropriate material, such as a plan for every lesson, a sequence of objectives and any relevant assessments, among others. 6.4.2.4 You are responsible for building school relationships and investing Teachers and Principals in the Teach for the Philippines movement by working within the schools established expectations and frameworks and complying with all simple requests of the designated school (for example, requests as to dress code, teacher meetings, marking sheets and professional conduct, among others). 6.4.3 Operating effectively: Teach for the Philippines community 6.4.3.1 You shall be prompt, attend, engage in and actively participate in all Teach for the Philippines scheduled training including, but not limited to, the Institute, Conferences, Open Fora, Workshops, Super Saturday Workshops, debriefs and meetings, scheduled leadership forums, retreats, the end of year summit and Alumni Induction. 6.4.3.2 You are expected to complete and submit work to Leadership Development Officers pursuant to agreed upon timelines, particularly quarterly results for Assessment data, long terms plans, unit plans, and lesson plans. You are also expected to proactively raise concerns about meeting commitments and timelines before the actual deadlines. 6.4.3.3 At the end of your two (2)-year commitment, you are entitled to rights and privileges of a Teach for the Philippines alumnus/alumna and a member of the Teach for All network. As such you are expected to represent the organization and uphold the Core Values of Teach for the Philippines. 6.4.4 Representation of Teach for the Philippines: Media 6.4.4.1 Teach for the Philippines works proactively to gain media attention on a national and local level to support its recruitment, fundraising and general outreach efforts. In the process, Teach for the Philippines strives to generate publicity that emphasizes the importance of transformational teaching in the classroom and focuses positive attention on students and schools. As a result, FELLOWS may often be the subject of print, online, and broadcast media. 6.4.4.2 At the same time, as our organization grows in visibility and impact, individuals, organizations, and the press may approach you to obtain a statement on Teach for the Philippines and/or its program which can then be shared in a variety of formats including news articles and press statements. You must immediately contact your Leadership Development Officer and a Teach for the Philippines Marketing team officer if the press (including inquiries from college-based media) or any organization approaches you, seeking your input as a Fellow of Teach for the Philippines - ahead of providing the input. 6.4.4.3 Teach for the Philippines works with various partners and supporters for multiple projects. As a single member of the organization, you may not have the most updated information regarding our different projects and initiatives. Despite this, as a FELLOW, your statements would be taken as official statements of the organization. In this light, Teach for the Philippines requires FELLOWS to clear (Updated as of 10 January 2014)

their statements with our Marketing team before providing any input to any organization. Please contact your Leadership Development Officer and a Teach for the Philippines Marketing team officer immediately. 6.4.4.4 Teach for the Philippines frequently uses photographs, film, videotape, and/or biographical information of FELLOWS in publicity efforts, promotional materials, directories and other similar projects. You may appear in any of these materials without your prior knowledge, although Teach for the Philippines shall make reasonable efforts to secure your permission to publish your image, likeness or other information whenever feasible. 6.4.4.5 Teach for the Philippines respects your personal contact information. We do not provide this to advertisers or third-parties that do not have any formal partnerships with us. Operating with this in mind, do not provide the personal information of other Teach for the Philippines members, staff or FELLOWS to advertisers or third-parties. Even if these advertisers or third-parties mention they have spoken to the office, do not give personal contact information unless a staff member has specifically contacted you. If you are approached, please direct all inquires to: (632) 808 8837 or email: generalinquiry@teachforthephilippines.org. 6.4.4.6 When you do engage with media, social media, or in public fora or other organizations, you must ensure that you conduct yourself in a way that does not bring Teach for the Philippines into disrepute or damages its reputation.

ANNEXURES ANNEX ONE. CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

Statement of Commitment: Teach for the Philippines believes that children should be in an environment that fosters their best interests an environment that is secure and allows them to excel, an environment that reflects utmost respect for human rights. TEACH FOR THE PHILIPPINES is committed to the welfare of children in the Philippines and to ensuring that they are provided with an environment that is conducive to learning, free from neglect, and safe from harm especially from any and all forms of maltreatment, abuse (physical, emotional, or verbal), bullying, harassment, disrespect, violence, cruelty, discrimination, exploitation, corporal punishment or similar acts. The Child Protection Policy (CPP) is a message to all involved with Teach for the Philippines, directly or indirectly, that they are expected to adhere to the following standards, to undertake everything possible to prevent child maltreatment, and to respond and report if maltreatment would occur. Teacher FELLOWS and other staff in contact with the children are all expected to uphold this commitment and to comply with the CPP. Teach for the Philippines has placed a whistle blowing policy to promote disclosure of inappropriate behaviour and enforces a zero tolerance policy to any and all violations of the CPP. Definition: According to the World Health Organization, maltreatment of children [is] sometimes referred to as abuse and neglect, includes all of physical and emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation that results in actual or potential harm to the childs health, development, or dignity. Within this broad range, five subtypes can be distinguished physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and negligent treatment, emotional abuse, and exploitation. Under Section 3(b) of the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act (R.A. 7610) and Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act (R.A. 9262), Child Abuse is defined as: Psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment; Any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of a child as a human being; Unreasonable deprivation of his basic needs for survival, such as food and shelter; or Failure to immediately give medical treatment to an injured child resulting in serious impairment of his growth and development or in his permanent incapacity or death. Under the CPP, the following behaviour may constitute or be viewed as maltreatment, or indicators of child maltreatment: any form of abuse (physical, emotional, or verbal); any form of harassment (sexual, racial, disability); bullying; violence; cruelty; discrimination; exploitation; corporal punishment; any similar acts toward others. Child Protection Policy: As mandated by the 1987 Philippine Constitution, all children have the right to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and other conditions prejudicial to their developmen t... (Article XV, Section 3(b)), and all educational institutions shall inculcate patriotism and nationalism, foster love of human ity, respect for human rights... (Article XIV, Section 3, (b)). The Family Code of the Philippines (Articles 218, 220, 233) and PD 603 provide that: school[s], its administrators and teachers, or individual[s], entit[ies], or institution[s] engaged in child care [are given] special parental authority and responsibility over the minor child while under their supervision, instruction, or custody. Special parental authority and responsibility shall apply to all authorized activities, whether inside or outside the premises of the school, entity, or institution. In view of the foregoing policies and in keeping with the standard of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) and the Department of Educations Child Protection Policy, TFP has formulated this CPP which upholds its values and philosophy. The CPP is intended to be used in relation to all activities organized and facilitated by Teach for the Philippines. All involved with Teach for the Philippines, (Updated as of 10 January 2014)

ANNEX TWO. DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY

Statement of Commitment: Teach for the Philippines is committed to providing a safe and productive work environment and to promoting the health, safety and well-being of its employees. The Alcohol and Drugs at Work Policy is designed to ensure that employees are aware of the risks associated with alcohol/drug misuse and the consequences of their actions. The inappropriate use of alcohol or drugs can damage the health and well-being of employees and have far-reaching effects on their personal and working lives. At work, alcohol or drug abuse can result in reduced levels of attendance, sub-standard work performance and increased health and safety risks not only for the individual concerned but also for others, for example colleagues, pupils, parents and contractors. Furthermore, the effects of alcohol or drug abuse are likely to be detrimental to the schools reputation. Definition: This policy covers the abuse and misuse of intoxicating substances, which include alcohol, solvents, legal and illegal drugs, prescription and over-the-counter medicines and other substances that could adversely affect work performance and/or health and safety. The purpose of this policy is to: Promote awareness and prevent alcohol and drug addiction; Identify and provide help and support to those with an alcohol or drug related problem; Encourage a sensible approach to the consumption of alcohol; Provide clear guidelines on the consumption of alcohol at work including off site activities; Safeguard employees, pupils and visitors from the hazards of alcohol and drug abuse; Provide appropriate support and advice to Teach for the Philippines on how best to deal with employees who may suffer from alcohol and/or drug related problems; Engender a climate that encourages openness and honesty (within the boundaries of strict personal confidentiality and legal requirements) and that gives employees, Teach for the Philippines the confidence to deal with substance abuse-related problems by following a clear procedure. Drug and alcohol abuse becomes a matter of concern to Teach for the Philippines when such interferes with an individuals work capacity, conduct, health or attendance. Definition of drug abuse and/or misuse: Drug abuse and/or misuse refers to the use of illegal drugs and the misuse, whether deliberate or unintentional, of prescribed drugs and substances such as solvents. Drug abuse and/or misuse can harm the user, both physically and mentally and through the his or her actions, other people and the environment. Definition of alcohol abuse: Alcohol abuse is defined as level of consumption, which affects a FELLOWS ability to carry out their duties. The simultaneous use of alcohol and drugs is particularly dangerous. Code of conduct: Fellows and staff must not engage in conduct outside work that could seriously damage the reputation and standing of the school, Teach for the Philippines, the Fellows own reputation or the reputation of the other members of the school community Employee responsibilities in managing alcohol and drug misuse: All employees are expected to ensure that their personal consumption of alcohol or use of prescribed drugs does not interfere with their ability to perform their duties safely and competently. Being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs while at work will subject a FELLOW to disciplinary investigation under the schools disciplinary procedure, which could lead to suspension and/or termination. Intoxicating substances, such as alcohol, may remain in the system for some time and even small amounts can impair performance and jeopardize safety. As such, Fellows are expected to allow sufficient time for the intoxicating substance to leave their system before reporting for work.

The following actions must be taken: Do not alert the employee of your intention to call the police and do not send them home; Contact the LDO in line with Child Protection Procedures; Contact the police; and Wait for further instruction from the LDO and police.

Fellows should always bear in mind that his or her actions may bring the school into disrepute and any violation of this policy will subject the FELLOW to disciplinary investigation under the schools disciplinary procedure, which could lead to suspension and/or termination.

ANNEX THREE. COMMITMENT TO THE STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY

Teach for the Philippines enlists our nations most promising future leaders in the movement to eliminate educational inequity.

Their places on the political spectrum and their religious beliefs will be similarly varied, and we seek individuals of all genders and sexual orientations and regardless of physical disabilities. Maximizing the diversity of our organization is important so that we can benefit from the talent and energy of all those who can contribute to our effort, and also to increase the opportunity for engagement in the circles of influence in our tremendously diverse national and global society. Moreover, we seek to be diverse because we aspire to serve as a model of the fairness and equality of opportunity we envision for our nation. All Teach for the Philippines staff and all Teach for the Philippines Fellows commit to our Diversity Policy and conduct ourselves and our work to ensure this is upheld.
