DAY 2 | IN-SERVICE TRAINING 2026
Empowering Teachers Through AI: Work Smarter, Teach Better!

The second day of our In-Service Training at Tagda Elementary School last September 11, 2026 was truly an exciting and meaningful learning experience for our Tagda ES teachers and para-teachers!

Started at 7:30 in the morning, the participants explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can become a helpful teaching partner—not to replace teachers, but to make our work more efficient, creative, and responsive to the needs of our learners.

🌞 MORNING SESSION | 7:30 AM

Our energetic Grade 3 Teachers served as the program hosts, while Mr. Sylvester Casuyon and Ms. Joediah Villaram took the lead in an engaging session on the practical use of AI tools for teachers. Active participants received unique prizes after correctly answering the questions of the speaker.

The session introduced practical ways teachers can use AI to:
💡 generate and improve lesson ideas
📝 assist in lesson planning
📚 create learning activities and instructional materials
🎯 develop differentiated activities for diverse learners
❓ create assessment questions and learning tasks
🎨 make presentations and other creative teaching resources
⏰ save valuable preparation time while maintaining quality instruction

More than simply learning about AI, the teachers were given opportunities to explore, interact, experiment, and discover how technology can support their everyday classroom responsibilities.

🌤️ AFTERNOON SESSION | 1:00 PM

The learning continued at 1:00 PM, with our Grade 4 Teachers serving as program hosts and Ma'am Josephine Monotilla, Principal I, as the speaker for the entire afternoon session. She had given us all the necessary things to remember before starting the Term 2. She also reminded us all that "AI may be the tool, but the TEACHER remains the heart of the classroom".

What made Day 2 even more memorable was the creativity, enthusiasm, and interactive presentation of our speakers from enjoyable games with prizes. From meaningful discussions to hands-on participation, the training was filled with learning, laughter, collaboration, and moments that inspired everyone to embrace new possibilities.

Indeed, it was more than an INSET—it was a day of discovering how innovation and human connection can work together to create better learning experiences for our children.

Congratulations and thank you to our amazing speakers, hosts, teachers, and para-teachers for making Day 2 informative, interactive, and truly enjoyable!

Learn. Explore. Innovate. Inspire.
Together, let us use AI wisely to make teaching more creative, meaningful, and learner-centered!

SAFETY FIRST | NATIONWIDE SIMULTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE DRILL AT TAGDA ES

"Preparedness today can save lives tomorrow!"

While the Tagda Elementary School teachers were engaged in their In-Service Training (INSET), the school simultaneously participated in the Third Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) for CY 2026.

The activity was conducted in compliance with DepEd Negros Occidental Division Memorandum No. 696, s. 2026, which reiterates the conduct of the Third Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill.

The drill was participated by our Tagda ES teachers, School Principal Ma’am Josephine B. Monotilla, and our active school guards. It was facilitated by Ms. Hera Laverez, Assistant School DRRM Coordinator, who guided everyone in observing proper earthquake safety and emergency response procedures.

This important activity serves as a reminder that being prepared, staying calm, and knowing what to do during an earthquake can make a life-saving difference. Through regular drills, we strengthen our culture of safety, preparedness, and resilience.

Tagda ES: Always ready. Always prepared. Always committed to safety.

🕊️ TAGDA ES PEACE PROGRAM | AUGUST 2026

“Creating a Culture of Peace, One Heart, One Act, One Voice at a Time”

August at Tagda Elementary School was filled with meaningful activities that celebrated peace, kindness, respect, creativity, and unity. 💙🕊️

In support of DepEd’s commitment to fostering safe, inclusive, and peaceful learning environments, our learners and teachers came together through a series of grade-level-led activities designed to inspire everyone to choose peace and stand against bullying and violence. DepEd’s peace education framework emphasizes nonviolence, human rights, social justice, and solidarity, while current anti-bullying policies promote empathy, kindness, respect, and a positive school climate.

Here’s a look back at our August Peace Program:

📅 August 3, 2026
🕊️ PEACE TALK & PEACE RALLY
Grade 5
Hosted by: Mrs. Rosemarie E. Yelo
Mrs. Christine Marie G. Muzones
A powerful reminder that every learner has a voice and a role in creating a Bully-Free and Peaceful School.

💃 August 10, 2026
🕊️ GROOVE IT TO THE PEACE: INDAK KONTRA BULLY
Grade 4
Hosted by: Mr. Archie E. Agarcio

🎨 August 17, 2026
🕊️ PEACE OF ART: A CREATIVE EXPRESSION FOR PEACE
Grade 3
Hosted by: Ms. Joediah Villaram
Our young artists transformed their creativity into beautiful messages of hope, harmony, respect, and understanding.

💛 August 24, 2026
🕊️ ECHOES OF PEACE: A KINDNESS WALL
Grade 2
Hosted by: Mr. Sylvester Casuyon
A beautiful reminder that even the simplest act of kindness can make a difference. Every word of encouragement and every kind deed helps build a more caring school community.

🌈 Four weeks. Four grade levels. One shared mission.
To teach our children that PEACE is not simply something we talk about—it is something we choose, practice, and share every day.

Let us continue to Speak Peace. Choose Kindness. Respect Everyone. Stand Against Bullying. Be the Reason Someone Feels Safe and Valued. 🕊️💙

Together, let us make Tagda Elementary School a place where every child can learn, grow, belong, and thrive in an atmosphere of peace. 🤝✨

Congratulation with the and heartfelt appreciation to our Grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 teachers and learners for making the August Peace Program meaningful and inspiring! 👏💙
