How Should we Transfer what We Should?

children-live-what-they-learn

What’s up with us now?

Chaos here and there … there has been a lot which we need to unlearn from the archives of our past.  There should be a lot which we need to learn & re-learn from the scenarios of our present.

Adult as we are, we may not identify which is which to learn and unlearn at this point in time — How much more a child would?

Everything now is at stake! – don’t you think so?

If we ever intend to “map-out” a good journey for our children’s future, there are “Windows of opportunity” which we need to look into; yet we vaguely are able to ascertain which and what and how.

 

Children Learn What They Live; Children Live What They Learn

Children learn what they live

Children live what they learn

Teach them the way to love in their hearts

They will find love in the world.

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn,

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient,

If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence,

If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate,

If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.

If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith,

If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself,

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,

he learns to find love in the world.

How a child learns and develops is very critical!

UNAWARE as we possibly are, children would even learn even those that we do not teach.

This fact makes it even more DANGEROUS — for we are not so sensible of the things and actions that children may capture.

Now the thing is, WHAT is it that WE SHOULD TRANSFER to each child? and HOW should we transfer what we should? [please expound your idea through AN ARTICLE of your own, with your own title.]

In this Millennial Age, if we ever want to make REAL TRANSFORMATION, we have to see children in a new light!  They are not ours to just keep, they are our RESPONSIBILITY TO NURTURE – and most importantly, they could be THE CHANGE that we could be OPTIMISTIC ABOUT!

We Should Do Something for Them!

Assessing Behavior of Children
Kids have dreams!

From Early Childhood to Growth …

Amidst Individual Differences which are needed to be addressed and understood, someone out there should say “i care”!

Welcome to this Course: Assessing Behavior of Young Children and find out for yourself “how you can” and “how should” you “care to care”!

 

 

What do you Tend to Forget?

“Man, a Being that Forgets”???

ANTHROPOLOGY, being the study of mankind and all its aspects is one of the Foundations of Education for it looks into the distinct characteristics, way of thinking, feeling & acting of the SEEKER OF KNOWLEDGE.  

Being exposed to various circumstances, Sir Edward Talylor, an Idealist Philosophical Scholar of Plato articulated that a certain “complex whole” is being cultivated until man makes himself “belong” to social practices — thus the so called CULTURE: “cultura”/”cultus” = care – where man is eventually faced with the issues of “freewill” and the relationship between rightness and goodness.

Anthropologists contend that it is “human nature” to “gradually accept shared beliefs and values of group through ENCULTURATION & SOCIALIZATION, both LEARNING PROCESSES which eventually tribe people to a complete package of a certain culture called RACE.

Dealing with the origin, nature, and destiny of human beings,

WHAT IS IT then in ANTHROPOLOGY that we need to regard significant?

What is it then that MAN TENDS TO FORGET?

What do you, as a person then as a teacher tend to disregard?

How will you use Anthropology to affect our generation in the future?

What’s in your Toolbox?

 

“In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter,

There is hope, there is trust

For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher

Than the look in the eyes of a child.”

Credits to this Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI5kV69UxKg

With that child looking at you each day without you noticing much …

With that person whom you’re unmindfully getting acquaintances …

With those many or several insignificant glances you’ve made with one and all …

With those eyes you’ve never met and seen such speck of joy and laughter, hope and trust — YOU COULD HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO SHAPE THE FUTURE!

Many stories could have been touching only if told and a lot of life’s long hidden meaning could have been explored!

Dreams should have been identified during youth and plans could have already been in progress even then — SHOULD YOU HAVE MATCHED THE HIDDEN FEELINGS with whatever it is that you have RIGHT THERE – just WITHIN YOUR REACH!

TEACHER as you are or even if NOT practicing AS OF YET, so long as you CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE and so long as you enjoy CONNECTIVITY THRU SOCIAL MEDIA & other means, you have all the opportunity to learn THE LESSONS OF LIFE from each look in the eye of a child!

Much more that you are enrolled in this course, what could be your edge?

BW#2. Design

What has PEDAGOGY to do with the raging technology which is generously giving us all the options to promote quality of performances both of the teacher and of the students … and even of their parents in collaboration?

ON PURPOSE, what should you do then to LIVE-UP to that “thrill to achieve” which lies and lives deep within you?

If you are to design your own life, what purpose will you be DRIVEN at — for you to  MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the future?

“You’ve found the place to walk the path you’ve chosen

You’ll never miss the world you left behind

When life gives life, it’s happiness unbroken

When you give love, it’s love you’ll find!”

How should you Synergize?

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them,    the teacher is the most important. – Bill Gates.

SUCH A GREAT TRUST to us, Teachers … right?

Cooperative Process, Active involvement, Integration, Motivation, Socialization, Understanding, Connectivity, Creativity/innovation & Discovery – just to name some of the Principles that should influence our actions as to what is right and which is wrong every time we think of our “being the most important” mostly in motivating our students.

YET, what could have been wrong if we would consider some simple realities that there are some students who dread going to school or who get bored with the usual classroom routine, the never-ending “any question, do you understand?” lines subject-after-subject, and all the likes?

The Learner, schooling, motivation, looking-into, developmental tasks
When we fail to “look-into” our Learners …

Would you mind taking into consideration that it would take … NOT THE BEST  — rather an “influential teacher” to make THE LEARNER LOVE “LEARNING”?

Good for us to belong to the 21st Century where we no longer just have “chalk & board”, “manila paper & pentel pen” – TECHNOLOGY already have a lot to offer variations after variations – but the thing is, do we really get to SYNERGIZE these TECHs with the Basic Learning Theories, Principles & Practices?

How then should we facilitate SYNERGY in its TOTALITY?

Do you hear what your students need? Do you also listen to your own SELF?

What does your EAR HEAR everytime you’re preparing for a lesson? Everytime you would go to your next class?

REFLECT! For it might be that “such thing which you do not hear deep within yourself would be that same response that your students would have” when you’re there in that class whose lesson you didn’t really hear beforehand.#sunset

What’s your “Missing Link”?

“The only thing worse than being blind

is having sight but has no vision!” — Hellen Keller

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s determination to see what was there in the past that would pave way to something certain in the future.

Man would hope to head towards a certain direction.  Naturally, we would tend to feel that we’ve already exerted a lot of effort; we would tend to engage; and persist; and trigger on certain goals — only to find out that we’re doing things the wrong way because there are a lot  that we do not see; nor notice; nor consider.

What then should we do for us to clearly see “the WHO that we are now”?

What is it that we are possibly depriving ourselves from which block our sight to clearer vision?

Whose story “affects” your sense of direction?

What is that vision that you have gaze at?

What should a “21st Century Manager” BUILD?

#ALS #alleigjoi
What are we actually Building”?

How can you be an “Affective” Manager?

Education is made accessible!

The right to free Basic Education is being tailored-fit to Filipinos who do not have a chance to attend and finish formal basic education from Grades 1-6 and Years 1-4 due to various distinct reasons through the Alternative Learning System

#21st Century #education #alternatives #ALS #learning #dropouts #liberate
 Change. Shift.Cure.

Such a great HOPE … supposedly?!?

Every bit of chance, yet waiting for one and all to just grab!

Among the many countries in the world who believe in Survival, the Philippines could indeed stand out with its  different Modes of Education from Non-Formal to Formal Theoretical Orientations. The Current Trends which lay down the many Alternatives and array of choices for various age groups: youth and adults are but blessings that abound elsewhere.

Chances and opportunities are just waiting to liberate us — to make us “level up” from whatever stage or status in life we’re in.

–Yet, how much are we still willing to learn?

— why are there still some who fail to GRIP FOR SURVIVAL?

— why do some, still plead for re-cure while crying over some state of “DEPRIVATION”?

What could have been wrong? … what else remains to be wrong?

What else should we beseech to accomplish the Philippine [Education for All] EFA 2015 National Action Plan entitled “Functionally Literate Filipinos, An Educated Nation.”?

How could FUNCTIONALITY be possible in our nation?  What is your COMMITMENT?

We don’t actually need to be an ALS Coach/Teacher to do something. We should not stop where the semester ended. What purpose or mission do you see then to be an “AFFECTIVE MANAGER in the 21st CENTURY”? 

Why “affective”?

SPARK A DREAM: PAY FORWARD!

Sometimes we just need to look somewhere deep within

— for us to see what there is to be thankful for.

” A lot of what we have right now” are not all because of our own effort alone; but many we’ve received because WE ARE LOVED!” — It is only when we realize this truth in all humility that we would eventually start striving to fulfil something for others too!

God have given us that much and He wants us to learn to be able to manage every bit of what we are receiving.  WHY? — because He wants us to LEAVE A LEGACY!

Where your treasure is

God’s love is like the rain — the amount of what we receive depends upon what we’re bringing to “go get some” of God’s blessings — but most importantly, WHAT WE DO WITH WHAT WE’RE GIVEN would matter a lot and would make a lot of difference!

SO, what am i actually insinuating? What are we doing with the little or the many that we are receiving? … GO, SPARK FOR A DREAM — THERE WITHIN YOUR HEART!

We determine the amount of love that we receive! When we start to give some, we will not be content with what we can still give — because WE FEEL that we want to FIND MEANING in LIFE!

We’re never too old not to grab as of yet this opportunity to dream! And so, since we are enrolled in this Course “School Plant and Property Management”, why not FIND MEANING and START BUILDING OUR LEGACY?

whatever you give on earth

Years gone are but preparations which lead us to what we should do at the right time — how we respond now would be AN INSPIRATION IN SHAPING A FUTURE — all because we deep within us is that GRATITUDE that we want to GIVE BACK such LOVE!

Get some inspiration and learn the HOW,  through this LOVELY young lady’s blog: DreamBoard.

We surely would want to leave a legacy when people would eventually tell that God has been at the CORE of “our being” because we’ve responded to a certain God-given mission which is TO AFFECT HUMANITY and to STORE UP OUR WEALTH deep within somebody’s heart!

START DREAMING FOR YOUR OWN SCHOOL NOW!
