What improved version of yourself as a teacher has the Lunduyan sa Kahusayan Program
yielded?
As a Lunduyan sa Kahusayan Program recipient, I've evolved into a glocal, flexible
teacher who recognizes the importance of negotiation and engagement between learners and
teachers in achieving purpose, participation, and progression of learning activities, regardless of
learning modality or methodology. This program also strengthened my profession as a teacher by
teaching me to always think of methods to promote safety, security, and inclusion by
empowering students and to practice contextualization and localization of learning experiences
as much as feasible. This teacher training program has also enhanced my understanding to how
providing and receiving feedback may help us learn, grow, and change for the better, both
professionally and personally. Teachers, as transformational leaders and catalyst of change, play
an important role in community development, thus we must constantly be enthusiastic,
respectful, engaged, and cooperative with community members. As the saying goes, it takes a
community to educate a child and we teachers have the power to change that community to make
it more conducive, responsible, and involved in developing lifelong, creative, critical, and
resilient learners. It's just a matter of involving and engaging our stakeholders in order to
strengthen school-community collaboration to achieve school and community goals. During the
last course, it was also highlighted how vital it is to consider the teacher's well-being and
wellness because it will also tremendously benefit our students' well-being and wellness. The
PERMA + Model teaches me how to keep a good attitude and transform the F4 (fear, frailty,
frustration, and failure) into opportunities and strengths. Overall, I feel grateful and proud to be
part of this training program, which has competent, flexible, and professional facilitators and
patient and amazing classmates. I'm looking forward to sharing my experience with my
coworkers and encouraging others to participate also in this once-in-a-lifetime learning
opportunity.
