Faculty members of Southern Leyte State University-San Juan Campus gathered for a two-day Training and Workshop at the SLSU Student Center on May 7โ8, aimed at strengthening instructional delivery, assessment practices, and classroom engagement among educators.
The program formally opened with the singing of the Philippine National Anthem and the SLSU Hymn rendered by the sound system, followed by an invocation led by Sir Ronald Tecson of the BMD Faculty. Dr. Virgilio Perez Jr., Head of the Industrial Department, delivered the welcome remarks, warmly acknowledging the participants.
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn C. Tatoy, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Management, presented the statement of purpose, highlighting the significance of the activity in strengthening teaching practices and enhancing student learning experiences inside the classroom.
The discussion proper was facilitated by guest expert Joshua Edson Ordiz, who first discussed faculty evaluation results received from students at the end of every semester. He emphasized that evaluations serve as valuable instruments for reflection, improvement, and instructional development among educators.
Mr. Ordiz also presented the objectives of the activity before proceeding to the first session titled, Enhancing Instructional Delivery and Student Engagement. During the discussion, he emphasized that every instructor possesses a unique teaching style and approach in handling learners within the classroom environment.
โThink of a teacher you remember, what made them effective โ or forgettable?โ one of the highlighted question from his presentation stated. He further stressed the importance of effective communication in teaching through the statement, โNagtudlo man ko โ yes, but the question is kasabot ba ang mga bata?โ He also reminded educators that โStudents are very observant,โ emphasizing how learners closely notice a teacherโs attitude, strategy, and classroom behavior.
The session tackled various dimensions of teaching styles, including content delivery, classroom management, student engagement, and assessment approaches. Ordiz also discussed why teaching styles matter, particularly in student achievement, retention, engagement, and the development of real-world skills.
In the middle of the discussion, the expert and selected faculty members exchanged ideas through an interactive question-and-answer session regarding demonstration teaching and collaborative teaching strategies. Through this exchange, participants shared insights and experiences on how they effectively manage classroom instruction and student participation.
Following the first session, the participants engaged in an activity titled Identify My Dominant Teaching Style, which aimed to help faculty members recognize and evaluate their most dominant teaching approaches and methodologies.
The morning session concluded with a meaningful reminder from Ordiz: โGreat teaching is not defined by the style we prefer, but by the growth we create.โ
