π Empowering Educators, Embracing Diversity! π
Romblon National High School successfully held its Gender and Development (GAD) Seminar 2026 last February 26-28 at the Dream Paradise Mountain Resort!
Guided by the theme "Teaching Without Limits: Embracing Diversity in the Classroom," RNHS teachers and staff engaged in a 3-day comprehensive training aimed at creating a more inclusive, safe, and dynamic learning environment for every student.
Here are the highlights of our inspiring sessions led by esteemed speakers:
π§ Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) β Dr. Apryl C. Bagnate reminded us that "behind every behavior is a story," emphasizing empathy and emotional safety in the classroom.
π€ AI in Education β Sir Rogelio Candido Jr. guided teachers on leveraging AI tools for effective, gender-responsive lesson planning and assessment.
π UDL & Differentiated Instruction β Ma'am Mischelle Carisse M. Macalisang championed the idea that "every learner counts," breaking away from the one-size-fits-all approach to teaching.
π‘οΈ Combating Bullying β Ma'am Carmella Lita B. Repizo tackled creating safe physical and digital spaces, ensuring our school remains a zero-tolerance zone for bullying.
βοΈ Disaster Preparedness & Psychosocial Support β Prof. Dr. Mario A. Fetalver Jr. highlighted the vital role of teachers as frontliners of hope and support during times of crisis.
π€ Examining Personal Bias β Sir Jonathan C. Lilang closed the sessions by challenging educators to reflect on conscious and unconscious biases, reminding us that true fairness means giving each learner the unique opportunity they need to succeed.
A massive congratulations to the Filipino Department, our GAD Coordinators (Ma'am Rachel Robis & Sir Kevin Liberato), and the RNHS Administration led by Principal Jophre R. Galindez for this successful event! π
Together, we continue to build a school where every student is seen, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. β€οΈπ«
