Two Page Summary of the Modules Available plus a Worksheet

Since the promise of the Department of Education to provide the students with the copy of the module had not been materialized yet, I came up with a shortened version of it and publish it in a newspaper format in two pages which can easy be reproduced. It contains the key concepts which are directly in lined with the objectives given in the Teacher's Manual. Included also is an Activity Sheet for the whole module. It can be easily edited and revised if necessary to suit the needs and innovations of the teacher. I am still working on publishing it using other application through which you can view and download if liked. But for now, a copy can easily be forwarded to you through your e-mail. All you have to do is to send me a message using this number: 09189631765 or send a message through e-mail: reinhard7766@yahoo.com or through my facebook account.

Here are some Examples of which: A copy for module number 2 and a worksheet for the survey for Multiple Intelligence

What I did with this is cover it with plastic using a page of a clear book which you can buy for 32.75 with 10 pieces. Then have your students use them. Only those students who would wish to have their own copy must pay 1 peso for the pub. What I did with survey for Multiple Intelligence was have it as an assignment; accomplish Unang Bahagi. I also gave my students another option, that is to do the survey on line at http://www.literaryworks.org/mi/assessment/findmystrengths.html. All they have to do is to print the result. Included in that site was a graph and the  interpretation of the result.

So guys if you want to have a copy you know what to do.

Creating a Network of Teachers

I was not really sure I was lucky when I was picked among First Year teachers in Values Education to attend the five-day training/seminar on K-12 Project of the Department of Education at the Philippine Normal University last May 29-June 2 this year. And the day before the graduation, I was tasked to share my insight about just anything about my five day experience - that was the instruction I received, which I thought lightened the burden because now I can pick any topic I loved about the seminar. And just like any other seminar this is what I really loved: TEACHERS TEACHING TEACHERS.

Undeniably, I learned lots of things from the speakers: the rationale behind the project, its content and the how it can be implemented in a classroom setting, thanks to all the practical guides shared. But I was really helped by the thoughts; simple and complex maybe, abstract or practical, exchanged among teachers during the course. And I realized that if this kind of give-and-take relationship would be utilized and managed well, it can be an inexhaustible source of help, views, and a highway where exchange of information can be facilitated. I told my fellow teachers, shown in that five-day seminar,  that the greatest asset of a teacher is the fellow sitting right next to them. Driven with the same vocation and passion, faced with the same challenges, sharing same dreams or hopes, our fellow teachers are the best lifelines for teachers.

It is for this reason that I open this account; to create a mean where teachers can meet, exchange views and opinions, and of course materials and strategies to make teaching really a collaborative effort. It is also hoped that through this medium, we can also create opportunities which might help teachers in other possible ways. Feedback will always be welcome as well as suggestions and alternatives.

WELCOME!
