    Teachers’ Team Building Camp: Reinforcing Relationships

    10/29/2017

     
    On May 27, 2017, teachers from 18 private schools in Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino provinces headed  to All Hands Beach Resort in Subic, Zambales for a one-day team building event just after completing a week-long training course with FUSE (Foundation for Upgrading the Standards of Education), which was also held in Subic. This event was facilitated by the able team of the Philippine Airlines Training and Development Department’s Bienjamin S. Leofando,  Jaba De Jesus, and Nico Magsalin.
    ​


        At first, everyone’s objective was simply to rest and recover by Subic’s coastline after a week-long intense training.  However, they came out of the event not only rejuvenated but having also experienced personal development and a clear appreciation of the value of team work. Activities started off with creating a fully energized team cheer, and were followed by several thrilling relays that fostered not only trust but also team work and excellence.

        Throughout the activities, the teachers were able to acknowledge individual strengths that are recognized by oneself and others; establish positive team culture; promote confidence, trust, and a good relationship with one another; and show their appreciation for one another.  During break time, the teachers were led into a reflective activity by creating a picture that symbolizes their role as teachers.
        One team drew a candle with each drop of the candle wax reflecting a tall light, that is the teacher’s energy which is being well spent on each student. Another drew a ship with the captain being the teacher and with analogies as to the roles and relationships a teacher must nurture.  A team also drew a mango tree where its roots symbolize a teacher capable of producing wonderful fruits within each student.
        Another activity involved the acronym LEARN, where the PAL team led the teachers on a personal reflection on what it means to be a (L)eader, be (E)mpathetic, be (A)ctive, be in a (R)elationsip, and be (N)urturing.
        Among the feedback of participants:  “Thank you for the wonderful and unforgettable experience. Nag-enjoy po kami sobra, especially the last game. Namaos ako sa kasisigaw sa ka-team ko na bilisan nila kahit talo kami in the end. Ang saya-saya. Kudos to the sponsor and management: TYKFI, more power.”
        St. Teresita’s Academy Principal Marcelina Dalay said, “I also thank the PAL representatives for spearheading the team building activities for teachers. Thank you for the experience. The team building for teachers kindled and at the same time uncovered one’s hidden capability, talent, and skills for better results. Of course the team building activities promoted stronger camaraderie and animated better friendship of the 18 participating schools. The LEARN activity made teachers realize how they could be of better service to the learners or to their students  and inspire them as they keep them on the right track in the attainment of their dreams in life.” n

      FUSE Teachers Training

      An important mission is educational reform. This is a critical aspect of the Tan Yan Kee Foundation’s partnership with the FUSE or the Foundation for Upgrading the Standard of Education.  This is carried out through the training-the-trainors method, with the end result of improving teaching standards and competency particularly in the subject areas of English, Mathematics, and the Sciences.  

      The program revolves around regular Teacher Training workshops, distribution of Continuing Studies via Technology (CONSTEC) in CD format, and the Science and Engineering Education Project (SEEP) in partnership with the Department of Education, Ateneo de Manila University, and De La Salle University.  

      Since its inception in  1994 up to 2008, FUSE has trained 13,687 teachers, circulated 21,011 journals, and distributed 386,494 training video computer disks  nationwide, even reaching remote areas.
