    TYKFI Partners with FUSE for Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino Teachers’ Training

    10/29/2017

     
    On May 22-26, 2017, TYKFI sponsored the training of more than 200 teachers from 18 private schools in Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino in partnership with the Foundation for Upgrading the Standards of Education (FUSE). The participants were taught 21st century teaching skills in Mathematics, English, Elementary Science, Physics, and Chemistry—all of which are aligned with the K-12 curriculum. Through this program, the Foundation aimed to continue being a strong impetus for quality education and ensuring the sustainability of the project by producing a multiplier effect in each respective education system.
    Some of the goals and reasons for this training were also given by the teachers themselves:

    1 “Education is a life-long learning process. Being an educator is not an easy job, neither is being one. To presume the pedagogy, I must encourage, motivate, and inspire my students to strive for success. Teaching is not just about the profession; it must also be embraced with passion. I decided to attend this training to acquire not just only the knowledge and strategies that I may apply in my teaching, for effectiveness and productivity, but also to be aware of the social purpose of such activity.”—Leny Greil P. Dawadao, Science and English teacher, Kingsway Christian Academy


    2 “I believe as a teacher I must motivate, inspire, and encourage my students to strive for success. As an educator, it is my responsibility to lift them up when they are down. I want to remind them that the world of education is a passion and not a paycheck. I enjoyed being a part of the learning experience, and helping the students understand that with knowledge comes power. Seminar like this is a rare opportunity for us teachers to harness our knowledge, capabilities and necessary skills for our students. It is important for all teachers to have effective teacher training programs. It is sad to say that sometimes we teachers cannot afford to attend training, but because of FUSE and Tan Yan Kee Foundation, it gives us teachers the chance to be provided with the greatest chance of success.”—Orlando C. Castillo Jr, Religion and Science teacher, Saint Mark’s School


    3 “I have technically ‘graduated’ from teaching in the classroom to working behind the scenes as the acting principal of the High School Department. I have realized that this job comes with its own set of challenges, including trying to understand and critique the content of the lesson plans of the teacher amongst the different subject areas. I joined this seminar specifically for that reason. I cannot help my teachers if I don’t understand what they are teaching.”—Margaret Kaitlin S. McRae, PEH, AP, ESP teacher, Nueva Vizcaya Bright Child School


    4 “Attending to this kind of training made me realize that length of service in teaching is not a guarantee that a teacher knows everything; that he has mastered all that he is teaching to his students. I humbly say there is much yet to learn, relearn, and unlearn.”—Marcelina M. Dalay, Principal, Saint Teresita’s Academy
        At the end of the training, 204 participants were awarded their certificates, and each of the 18 schools gladly received DVD copies of all the materials taught by FUSE.
        The Fuse officers and staff who were present were: Fr. Onofre Inocencio, Jr., FUSE President; Dr. Fe Hidalgo, FUSE Vice-President; Dr. Marilu R. Madrunio, FUSE Training Chair; Dr. Rosario Alonzo, FUSE Monitoring and Evaluation; Ms. Josefina Santiano, Ms. Marie Paz Carada, and Ms. Regina Maalat of the FUSE Secretariat. The FUSE instructors who imparted their knowledge were:
        According to Joe Hendrick F. Morales, English teacher at Saint Louis School, who summarized how the participants viewed the CONSTEC (Continuing Studies Via Technology) DVDs and the TSMs (Teaching Support Materials) provided by FUSE, “The content and activities were very informative and useful to us teachers. I can say that after this when we go back to our respective schools, we will be proud to share what we have learned from this seminar.”
        He is only one among the many participants who couldn’t thank their FUSE volunteer instructors enough: “No words can fully express how blessed and grateful we are [to you] for giving us the opportunity to widen our horizon in our teaching career. This is a perfect avenue for personal and professional growth and development. I hope that you will continue helping educators to be the best among the rest not just in Nueva Vizcaya but in the whole country as well.”
        In conclusion, Ethel R. Lagasca, a teacher at Our Lady of Fatima School of Villaverde gave her feedback regarding the Foundation’s efforts to make a difference in education, “The knowledge acquired and the ideas shared were really of great help in molding our [nation’s] young minds. Appreciate very much the services, trainings, and other assistance the Foundation is giving and extending to different schools, agencies, and others for the benefits and welfare of every Filipino citizen. The Foundation is one in a million that offers a lot of benefits.”

      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.
