Our school, conducted a two-day In-Service Training for teachers with the theme "Upskiling Teachersโ Competence in the Development of Indigenized Instructional Materials:". Focusing on Crafting an ILAW-Based Framework Lesson Plan.
During the training, teachers identified various Indigenous Knowledge, Skills and Practices (IKSPs) in Villaviciosa that can be integrated in classroom instruction. They collaboratively explored how these local practices reflect the values and culture of the community.
Each teacher crafted his or her own ILAW-based lesson plan integrating IKSPs, making lessons more contextualized, relevant, and culturally responsive. Through this activity, teachers gained deeper understanding on how to indigenize lessons while maintaining alignment with learning competencies.
The training enriched teachers with knowledge on valuing local culture in teaching, strengthened collaboration among grade levels, and equipped them with skills to create meaningful and rooted learning experiences for learners.
In conclusion, the two-day INSET successfully empowered teachers to become more creative and culturally responsive educators.
