CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (July 12, 2024/PNA) – Schools in the province of Bukidnon are the first in the Northern Mindanao region to re-orient updated course modules of e-learning on agriculture

In an interview Friday, Jan-Ariss Jadaque, technical support focal person of the Agricultural Training Institute in Region 10 (ATI-10), said 60 teachers from 15 schools in Malaybalay City attended the re-orientation.

“One of the objectives we also aim for the briefing is to develop a plan for a possible partnership with the different schools from the (Department of Education’s) Division of Malaybalay City,” he said.

The e-learning briefing for teachers guided them in the new website, which was relaunched in 2023.

Its goal is to promote agriculture and fishery to youth through the integration of an e-learning program into the curriculum of these schools’ Technical- Vocational- Livelihood track at the senior high school level.

Victhor Palarca, ATI-10 Media Production Specialist, said the e-learning program started in 2010, but the agriculture modules are part of the electronic extension program which dates back to 2007. (Nef Luczon/PNA)

In the realm of education, the way we teach holds a key role in the success of our students. Strategic Pedagogy is an approach that offers a practical guide for educators aiming to enhance their teaching techniques and support student achievement. It goes beyond the basics, combining careful planning, flexibility, and an understanding of diverse learning styles

Strategic Pedagogy is essentially about being intentional and creative in teaching. Educators who follow this approach plan their lessons thoughtfully, considering not only the subject matter but also the unique needs and backgrounds of their students. This careful planning sets the stage for creating an inclusive learning environment where every student, no matter their learning style, can feel engaged and supported.

What makes Strategic Pedagogy effective is its ability to adapt to the changing needs of students. It acknowledges that each classroom is filled with diverse perspectives and encourages teachers to adjust their methods to ensure that every student understands the material. It recognizes that effective teaching is about tailoring the approach to fit the students, not using a one-size-fits-all method.

Strategic Pedagogy is successful because it focuses on cultivating critical thinking skills and a love for learning in students. By including interactive activities, collaborative projects, and real-world applications, educators using this approach create an environment where curiosity is sparked, and learning goes beyond the classroom.

In summary, Strategic Pedagogy is a guide for educators to unlock their students’ potential. By combining thoughtful planning, flexibility, and a commitment to fostering a love for learning, this approach stands as a foundation for effective teaching, ultimately leading to unmatched student success.

Teachers are Frontliners

Posted on by Gemma B. Garcia

Teachers are front liners in the delivery of education for the youth. More than ever, the Department of Education ensures that their rights under the Magna Carta and other pertinent laws.

As front liners, too, in terms of information and dissemination regarding the coronavirus pandemic, they help encourage the students to adopt the concept of physical distancing and prioritize good health habits such as handwashing and keeping the immune system high.
Teachers help in communicating measures that prevent the spread of the virus and in alleviating fears and anxieties around the disease. The government should categorize teachers as front liners and be given priority to receive the first batch of the covid 19 vaccines. Such measures would ensure our school children will have a safe environment and ensure the stability of our education ecosystem. By getting vaccinated, teachers will have the confidence to go back to school instead of worrying about infecting their students.
