GAD Training Strengthens Gender-Responsive Education and Teacher Well-Being

Alitagtag National High School conducted a Gender and Development (GAD) Training on June 12, 2026, at Caliraya Resort Club, Inc., Lumban, Laguna. With the theme “Resilient Educators, Responsive Schools: Gender-Sensitive Approaches to Teachers’ Well-being,” the activity brought together educators and school personnel in a meaningful learning experience focused on gender sensitivity, inclusive education, and teacher wellness.

The training opened with a session on Creating Gender-Fair Classrooms: Promoting Equity, Respect, and Inclusion in Junior High Schools, facilitated by Sir Dennis N. Mendoza, Principal I. He emphasized the importance of recognizing diversity in the classroom and ensuring that all learners are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. Participants reflected on how classroom practices, language, and teaching strategies can either support or hinder inclusivity.

This was followed by Building Respectful Classroom Culture, led by Sir Mark Christian R. Catapang, Master Teacher I . The discussion highlighted the role of empathy, positive communication, and consistent behavior expectations in creating safe and supportive learning environments. Teachers were encouraged to model respectful interactions and foster a culture where every student feels valued and heard.

In another engaging session, Mrs. Clarriza M. Calales, Guidance Designate, discussed Building Gender-Fair Workplaces and Communities. She underscored the significance of gender equality not only in schools but also in professional and community settings. Participants explored ways to challenge stereotypes, prevent discrimination, and promote shared responsibility and mutual respect among colleagues and stakeholders.

The training also featured a practical workshop on Development of Gender-Responsive Lesson Plans, facilitated by Mam Rita D. Magundayao, Headteacher I. Teachers collaboratively designed lesson plans that integrate gender-sensitive perspectives and inclusive learning activities. The workshop allowed participants to apply the concepts discussed and produce classroom-ready outputs that support equitable learning opportunities for all students.

To conclude the training, participants took part in team-building activities that strengthened collaboration, trust, and camaraderie among educators. Through interactive games and group challenges, teachers practiced teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills while reinforcing the value of mutual support and resilience in the workplace. Adding excitement and energy to the event were the participants’ singing and dancing performances, which truly enlivened the atmosphere. These activities provided opportunities for self-expression, strengthened interpersonal relationships, and created lasting memories among colleagues.

The GAD training successfully deepened participants’ understanding of gender-sensitive education and highlighted the connection between inclusive school practices and teacher well-being. More importantly, it inspired educators to become advocates of equity, respect, and inclusion in their classrooms, schools, and communities. The combination of meaningful learning sessions, collaborative activities, and lively performances made the event both enriching and memorable for all participants.
