Gahitan ES Holds Faculty Meeting and LAC Session
Gahitan Elementary School successfully conducted another Faculty Meeting and Learning Action Cell (LAC) Session yesterday September 25, bringing teachers together for a day of meaningful and productive discussions, professional learning, and shared experiences.
The activity was hosted by Sir John Paul Luna and began the program with the singing of the Nationalistic Song and an opening prayer, followed by the presentation of the agenda for the day.
Adding inspiration to the gathering was the recognition of the schoolโs Employee of the Month, given to Sir John Rillo Bacos for his exemplary punctuality and complete attendance. He was presented with an award and a small token of appreciation for his dedication and commitment to his duties.
The faculty meeting formally proceeded with an echo of the District Meeting presented by Maโam Lorylen Ocampo, who shared important updates and reminders concerning reports to be submitted, the strengthening of learnersโ competitive spirit, timely submission of school reports, canteen concerns, the School Information and Improvement Framework (SIIF), and other pertinent matters.
This was followed by the canteen report on gains, expenses, and net income, presented by Ms. Eleonor Pendon. The schoolโs financial matters were then discussed through the MOOE report, presented by Administrative Officer, Ms. Angelica Almanzor.
Meanwhile, School Principal, Maโam Jackie Lou Pereรฑa presented updates on GAS TUKLAS, SIIF, attendance, research, and other important school matters, providing the faculty with relevant information and reminders for the continued improvement of school operations.
The faculty meeting transitioned into a meaningful LAC session featuring two valuable learning presentations.
The first presentation focused on Learning Resources (LR), led by LR Coordinator Ms. Jovelyn Peji. She discussed the meaning and importance of learning resources, the different types of resources that teachers may create and submit, the composition and functions of the LR Committee, and the role of school LR evaluators.
She also explained the evaluation tool to be used and highlighted the important points that evaluators need to check when assessing learning resources. She encouraged teachers to continuously develop quality and appropriate learning resources that will support and enrich learnersโ educational experiences.
The second presentation centered on GAT-Storytelling, facilitated by Master Teacher II Ms. Laarni Apawan, a 2025 GAT-Storytelling National Qualifier. Drawing from her experience, she shared essential tips, techniques, and important considerations for teachers and learners who may participate in storytelling competitions.
One of the highlights of her presentation was her demonstration of how a storyteller can effectively shift from one voice to another depending on the character and situation in the story. Her engaging demonstration captured the attention of the faculty and left everyone impressed and inspired.
The fruitful LAC session concluded with the awarding of Certificates of Appreciation to both speakers in recognition of their valuable contribution and willingness to share their knowledge and expertise with their fellow teachers. The certificates were presented by School Principal Maโam Jackie Lou Pereรฑa.
The activity served not only as a venue for important school updates but also as an opportunity for teachers to learn from one another, strengthen their professional skills, and work together toward providing better learning experiences for the learners of Gahitan Elementary School.
