007 Learning Competencies

I am done writing all the competencies for all the four sections assigned to me. I think I am one of the early one who were able to pass on time. The others are still writing theirs until today.

The more difficult task is to write the syllabus. I am still starting. Maybe tomorrow morning. We have a seminar this morning and I have to finalize my handouts for Saturday. On Saturday, I will be a resource speaker for the seminar of the high school teachers of the Central Colleges of the Philippines. I have to really prepare for it.

Anyways, the syllabus has no deadline yet.

This is just for now as I have to leave for school.

God bless to everyone.

These minimum competencies will become the bases of the syllabus that we teachers are to design. As I was writing the curriculum objectives, I was visited with an army of ideas on how to execute them in the classroom. I have learned so many techniques in my eight years of teaching. Yet, none of these technique is a sure fire in the classroom. Every child in the classroom is a new being I have to deal with. Every classroom is different to every other classroom I have handled before. One prominent thought that visited me was a warning. Most of what are education today trained students on how to answer questions like WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF Paris? or WHAT IS A VERB, A NOUN, AN ADJECTIVE, GALAXY, NEUTRON, MEAN, CHI SQUARE, OR ANYTHING? which if given just another short glance would amount to nothing. I...
