LAC Session Strengthens Learning and Development Through Work Action Planning
Banaue NHS conducted a Learning Action Cell (LAC) Session on Learning and Development (L&D), the Application of Education, and the Preparation of the Work Action Plan, reaffirming its commitment to continuous professional development and improved school performance.
The session gathered both teaching and non-teaching personnel to deepen their understanding of the significance of Learning and Development in achieving quality education and organizational excellence. The activity aimed to enhance participants' competencies while promoting collaboration and accountability in implementing school programs and initiatives.
Serving as the resource speaker, the Master Teacher I Ian Jake B.Cumaldi emphasized that Learning and Development is a vital component of professional growth for all school personnel. The discussion highlighted that for teachers, continuous professional learning improves instructional delivery, classroom management, assessment practices, and learner outcomes. For non-teaching personnel, Learning and Development enhances workplace efficiency, strengthens administrative support, and contributes to the effective delivery of school services.
The Master Teacher I also underscored that professional development equips personnel with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to adapt to educational changes and fulfill their respective roles in achieving the goals of the Department of Education.
Meanwhile, the session facilitator provided a comprehensive orientation on the preparation of the Work Action Plan (WAP). Participants were guided through the proper completion of the prescribed template, with detailed explanations of each component, including the objectives, target activities, implementation timeline, persons responsible, required resources, expected outputs, and means of verification.
The facilitator stressed the importance of ensuring that every action plan is aligned with the school's improvement goals, addresses identified learning and development needs, and serves as a practical guide for monitoring the implementation and accomplishment of planned activities.
An open forum followed, allowing participants to seek clarification and exchange ideas regarding the preparation and implementation of their respective Work Action Plans. The interactive discussion encouraged active participation and reinforced the value of collaborative learning within the school community.
The LAC session concluded with participants expressing their commitment to applying the knowledge and skills gained during the activity. Through continuous Learning and Development initiatives and well-crafted Work Action Plans, Banaue NHS remains steadfast in its mission of promoting professional excellence and delivering quality, inclusive, and learner-centered education in accordance with the goals of the Department of Education.
