QUESTION: What educational principles have you learned in the four sessions of educational leadership
certification training? How do you apply these principles in your profession?
Answer:
The educational principle/approach/practice that I’ve learned most in our previous sessions in educational
leadership training is that the educators/educational leaders must concerned with the ‘poor’ students’. This refers
not only to the financially- unstable but those who are poor in academic performance in the class. Being an
educator, we must demonstrate compassion, caring and concern to our dear students in this challenging times now
that most of their resources are very limited. If given by chance, being an educational leader is we must support
the needs of both teachers and students for the sake of achieving the quality learning and competitiveness.
With these learnings that I gained, it serves as a daily reminder that while we are conducting classes to
our students, let’s open our minds, observe and assess their different capabilities and needs in order to meet
everyone’s learning requirements. As an educator, applying this principle is always the best strategy that I can
perform to get in connect with my students. It is also very challenging but fulfilling on my side that despite of
limitations brought by pandemic is that I create an opportunity to push myself more to be with the students’
learning experience and they are growing with the knowledge and values I teach to them.
I am very thankful for this wonderful opportunity to take up this educational leadership training; not only
for my personal professional growth but also to strengthen my mission as an educator in a Catholic institution.
