The faculty members and staff of Sacred Heart School-Hijas de Jesus participated in a two-day seminar-workshop on July 16-17, 2024 sponsored by the Phoenix Publishing House and facilitated by Miss Ana Maria Hernandez. The resource speaker shared her knowledge and insights on topics crucial to our collective roles as Hijas educators.
Here are the key takeaways from the sessions.
The Trail
Teaching is a science, an art, and a craft. It is a complex, multi-dimensional endeavor that needs continued professional development and reflection.
The Dirt Road
All learners are unique, and they bring their needs, interests, personalities, learning levels, and experiences to the teaching-learning process. It is important to know who our learners are and start where they are.
The Paved Road
Technology is reshaping the learning experiences for our pupils and students. It empowers them to take ownership of their learning, expanding opportunities for self-directed and personalized learning experiences.
The Highway
Effective questioning helps our learners 'how to think' instead of 'what to think'. It transforms learners into critical, creative, and innovative thinkers. When we spark curiosity among our learners, possibilities are endless.
In all this, learners are undeniably the heart of the curriculum, and by placing the learners at the forefront of our educational endeavors, they become not just recipients of knowledge but active contributors to shaping the future.
In all confidence, the teachers at Sacred Heart School-Hijas de Jesus are in full steam and geared up for the opening of classes for the school year 2024-2025 to teach the minds, touch the hearts, and transform the lives of our learners and our stakeholders.
