To be able to implement the school’s vision and
mission of quality education in our school, it is imperative that teachers
should update their knowledge and skills in the field of teaching by attending
in-service trainings .In-Service Training among teachers plays a vital role in
the improvement of teaching and learning.
The 3-day School-Based Learning Action Cell (SLAC) on the Gender and Development aimed to improve and facilitate teaching-learning
for the 21st century learners was held on March 4-6, 2020 at Dumayat
Elementary School. As per DepEd Order No. 35, s. 2016, this School Learning
Action Cell aims to provide more knowledge/skills of teachers in teaching Gender
and Development to be used in their daily teaching. Through this In-Service
Training, teachers will enhance their skills and confidence in teaching Positive
Discipline suited to the learning area. It helps teachers to develop their techniques
while teaching in Gender and Development.
On the first day (March 04, 2020), Mrs. Elisa M .Ochinang,
chairman/proponent, oriented the participants/teachers on the things to be tackled
in the training/SLAC. She discussed the techniques in using
Positive Discipline in the classroom. She emphasized the importance of techniques in
using positive discipline in their daily teaching that will contribute much in
the improvement of teaching and learning process. Proponents of positive
discipline claimed that this method can help strengthen the bond and increase
trust between parents and children. It also removes the battle between the two
of you, teaching your child that it is possible to respond to difficult moments
without threats, bribes, yelling or physical punishment.
On the 2nd day ( March 05, 2020) the
lecturer about Winning Trust and Confidence of Co-workers was Mrs. Maristela E.
De Peralta. Winning trust and confidence is enjoyable and interesting topic because it
relates more on the real situations of teachers and the people in one
organization. Actions matter most if you want to earn employees’ trust and
engage them in the organization. Starting with the leader, it takes involvement
at every level to create a deep bond of believably that motivates employees
to put forth effort needed to make their organization successful. Our school
head, Ricardo S. Tambogon, provided additional learning and introduced some
techniques to be done on winning trust and confidence of teachers. 
On the last day of the LAC session, Mrs.
Margarita R. Ochinang presented her
lecture about Cognitive and Behavioral Theraphy.
The In-Service Training was greatly contributed on
the Gender and Development specifically on positive discipline, trust and
confidence and therapy techniques for teachers.
A workshop like this will help improve
teacher/pupil performances. Feedbacking, open forum and distribution of
certificates were done on the last part of our training.
