Launching and Orientation of Project TALA
In support of the Batangas 2.0: Project TALAS-DUNUNG and in compliance with Division Memorandum No. 373, s. 2026, Luta Norte Elementary School conducted the launching and orientation of Project TALA (Texts for Advanced Literacy and Achievement). The activity aimed to orient all teachers on the project’s goals, implementation guidelines, and practical integration into daily instruction — with the ultimate objective of advancing literacy skills and improving learners’ academic performance.
The activity began with the assembly of all teaching staff, eager to learn about the new literacy initiative. Mrs. Joy M. Gallon, School Principal, opened the program and provided a clear, comprehensive orientation on Project TALA. She presented the project’s goals, rationale, and significance in strengthening literacy among learners, emphasizing the critical role of teachers in its successful implementation.
A video presentation and visual slides were shown to give teachers a concrete understanding of the project. The presentation outlined the step-by-step processes and practical ways of integrating TALA into daily instruction, making the guidelines easier to follow and apply. Mrs. Gallon then guided the teachers on how to conduct the project activities effectively and appropriately, ensuring these align with the learning needs of every learner.
Throughout the session, teachers listened attentively and engaged in the discussion. They clarified points on implementation, delivery, and assessment, and gained confidence in using the TALA texts to support literacy development. The orientation concluded with the collective commitment: “Together, let’s make literacy a way of life.”
The launching and orientation of Project TALA at Luta Norte Elementary School was successfully conducted. The activity equipped teachers with the necessary knowledge, skills, and direction to implement the project effectively. With shared commitment and consistent action, the school is on track to empower literacy and elevate achievement among all learners.
