Graduate SchoolCTE students honor mentors
PUPILS AND students of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) celebrated the recent World Teachers’ Day to give importance to their mentors.
With the theme “Build the future: Invest in teachers now,†the activity started with a thanksgiving mass celebrated by Msgr. Policarpo Albano, rector of St. William Cathedral, Laoag City. He expressed his appreciation to the studentry for recognizing the importance of their mentors. “Teachers,†he said “are sometimes taken for granted and relegated to the background. But would there be doctors, lawyers, and other professions were it not for teachers?â€
Following the mass was the program where Dr. Vicente A. Bonoan, former dean of CTE and now vice president for academic affairs of Data Center College, Philippines-Laoag, was the guest speaker. He exalted the teachers by saying “Teachers are looked up to as agents of social change, as resource persons and consultants, role models, custodians, arbiters, professionals, and parents. As such, they provide leadership in community projects, organize educational programs for the community, and disseminate the same to the community. “
He continued, “So vital is the work of our teachers that indeed they play a paramount role in national development. The teaching profession produces the quintessential public servant who will plod on far into the night in search of the holy waters that shall ‘quench the thirst for erudition and wisdom’. Teaching knows no boundaries. Teachers are not delimited by classrooms, hours, days or nights. They don’t become rich for the ‘salaries are few; but the work too many’. To be a teacher, an honest to goodness teacher is almost selfless, like a lonely candle that must burn itself in order to give light. Some may even allow happiness to pass them by, by marrying the profession and remain “a frozen delightâ€.
He punctuated his speech by posing a challenge to teachers and future teachers: “Let us not be content as mere purveyors of fossilized learning and subject matter but become the avant-garde of suffused enthusiasm, ever exploring our world with the honest inquiring mind of a child in order to keep abreast with the shifting tides of time and circumstances. Let us all invoke the blessings of Almighty God so that every day of our lives we shall continue to prove equal to the tasks and responsibilities that lay before us. May this dream teacher in every one of us become a pulsating reality.â€
The presidents of the General Laboratory Elementary School Club, Student Body Organization, and Student Council of the elementary, high school, and college levels, expressed their tribute to their mentors while selected pupils and students presented choral and dance numbers. After the program, pupils and students alike offered their mentors bouquets and other tokens of love.
In a related news, CTE, in partnership with the Teacherdo Education Council (TEC) and the Department of Education, conducted a five-day Teacher Induction Program (TIP) for beginning teachers in October 2009. One hundred seven teachers from the divisions of Ilocos Norte, Laoag City and Batac; and Laboratory Elementary School participated in said training.
