N2  - The birth of the K-12 curriculum in the Philippines gave rise to the academic track  of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. One of the subjects offered by the  track is chemistry, a subject which is very useful in our daily lives. However, since the  curriculum is still in its early years, it is interesting to note how SHS chemistry teachers do  their daily routines. For this, a focused ethnography was conducted to study and describe  the patterns and the culture among this group of people. The participants were selected  through purposive and snowball sampling. The study was able to discern that the culture  of SHS chemistry teachers could be described using five categories. The culture of being  hired revealed the diverse backgrounds leading to the acceptance of the teachers in the  profession. The culture of coexistence revealed the ways on how strengths and weaknesses  were handled by the SHS teachers in order to better themselves. The culture of assimilation  revealed that the teachers were determining issues within the workplace. The culture of  teaching revealed that the SHS teachers were engaged in teaching the subject matter.  Preparations were made, methods were determined and assessments were conducted in  order to ascertain that educational goals were achieved. Recommendations were provided  that may address some issues determined by the study
