While most, if not all, if the teachers were eager to go home for the very long weekend, still they managed to stay to finish the workshop and to submit the required output for the seminar.
Many teacher especially the senior teachers enjoyed the workshop because they were not working under any pressure. This was because the principal almost half of the teaching force was in Iba, Zambales for the Division theme building. The number of attendees was manageable for us, the three facilitators.
The workshop was really meant to be hands on. We just prepared simple step-by-step instruction for the teachers to follow. The teachers were expected to finish the tasks with no or as minimal guidance as possible and with no time pressure. Because the workshop size was manageable, communication was not a problem. Peer cooperation also helped in making some of their outputs better than what was expected.
(MT Garcia and Teacher Velasco doing their best to learn Power Point. They were able to submit the required output.)
Many teachers commented that the workshop was better than the past workshops (which I was also a part of) because there were no lectures. They hate lectures; I hate lectures. But once in a while we have to but in to correct and check mistakes.
The comments of the senior teachers were encouraging because they said they learned better in this workshop. Maybe it’s because the lunch was free :-)
