Tech Savvy School

where to use technology in school

Technology has become ubiquitous in everyday life. Computers have become smaller, lighter and more powerful over the years and now they are used for everything from playing games to communicating with loved ones to banking and investing. It is therefore important for teachers to understand how modern technology is incorporated in school operation and how it affects teaching and learning.

Empower the Home

Promoting a healthy partnership between the school and the home

The role of the family in the education of a child is often taken for granted. The family has so much more to offer to the school than attending PTC  or volunteering in Brigada Eskwela. See the opportunities they present, not just in helping the school but also in helping their child succeed in school. A healthy partnership between the school and each child’s empowered home is a must.

Lifelong Learning

The desire to learn is supremely important in life after school. It gives students a competitive edge and encourages them to pursue continuous self-development that contributes to increasing their sense of self-worth. 

classroom management

The Right Approach

assessing your own classroom management style

Perhaps the most challenging aspect of the teaching profession is maintaining order and discipline in the classroom. There will be good days for sure. But it’s the bad days that can be miserable enough for a teacher to question his or her career choice. It’s important to take this matter seriously since it affects how well the teacher teaches and how effectively the students learn. And yes, it may also affect a teacher’s physical and mental well-being.

Teach Them Well

making sure your students learn

No matter what subject a teacher is handling, he or she would want students to learn. An empowered teacher knows that simply memorizing lessons and being able to rewrite the lecture in a test does not equate to understanding. And an empowered teacher knows that understanding is a critical component of learning.

All About Jobs

providing career guidance for senior high school students

The education students get should prepare them for  their future. For senior high students, that future is just around the corner, whether they choose to pursue higher education or immediately join the world of work. They must therefore be ready to make critical career decisions and schools—and their teachers—must be there to assist them so they can come up with sound choices.

guidance and counseling

A Guiding Hand

how to be a counselor to your students

Whether or not a school has a professional guidance counselor on staff, teachers would have to recognize their value in addressing the guidance and counseling needs of students. They are a school’s frontlines and the primary contact for students. They are in the best position to realize the needs of students not just in academics but also their emotional and psychological needs.
