How a progressive school in Mandaluyong is helping empower teachers

Conventional schools can be quite rigid when it comes to the rules and regulations they impose on their teachers. Not only do teachers have to be careful with their actions both in and out of school to ensure that they are always setting a good example to their students, they also have to adhere to very specific teaching styles. In public schools, teachers have to abide by the lesson plan and teaching techniques approved by the Department of Education – they are given very little room for improvisation and personalization. Not only that, public school teachers often have to use their own resources in creating visual aids and classroom teaching aids, as mandated by DepEd, which can be very expensive. 

Needless to say, there is almost no opportunity for creativity and to adjust the way the lessons are delivered. The teachers are not the only ones negatively affected by this – in the long run, it is the students who suffer because their learning is highly dependent on what is only given to them. Students don’t get to learn at their own pace and according to their skill level.

As a progressive school in Mandaluyong, we empower our teachers to deliver the lessons to the students as they see fit. This is not to say we do not adhere to the guidelines set by DepEd – of course we do – but we give our teachers the liberty to tweak the curriculum and the delivery the lessons to fit the specific needs and skill level of their students. We provide education that can be customized based on how our students progress – we go slow when they need to catch up, and advance to future lessons if they are learning fast.

We take pride in our teachers who are all experts at their field. They have the skills and knowledge, as well as the experience and educational background necessary to ensure that they will be able to effectively deliver the lessons to our students. We encourage them to be as creative as they can because we know that the students will benefit in the long run. We always have an ear ready to listen to whatever our teachers’ concerns are and we work closely with them to make sure that they have everything they need in conducting lessons. 

We encourage them to think outside the box in terms of learning and not to confine learning within the four walls of the classroom. We make sure that they have all the tools and equipment necessary in learning delivery. And because we have a stringent selection process for our faculty members, we are confident that they are and will be perfect role models for the students they teach. They are not just educators, they act as second parents to the students under their care. They are genuinely concerned about their well being and they make sure to communicate with the students’ parents for any and all concerns.
