In a historic event, pre-service teachers from the College of PESCAR (COP) celebrated their first-ever Teaching Internship Pinning and Completion Rites at the West Visayas State University (WVSU) Cultural Center on January 30, 2024.
Dr. Ma. Asuncion Christine Dequilla, the esteemed Vice President for Academic Affairs at WVSU, graced the ceremony. In her address, she emphasized the pivotal role of teaching internships in shaping future educators, providing practical experience in understanding the dynamics of teaching.
"To the teachers present, you are about to embark on a journey into a teaching profession, and I want to extend my warmest congratulations,โ said Dr. Dequilla as she imparted words of wisdom.
The pinning ceremony proper, initiated by COP faculty led by Dean Dr. Christopher T. Jaspe, Experiential Learning Coordinator Prof. Ma. Nennite T. Bajador, and Chairperson of the Department of PE, Sports, and Recreation Prof. Noel P. Mondejar, officially pinned the students with the presence of their respective parents.
The whole ceremony was ushered by Prof. Ryan L. Puljanan, adviser BCAEd 4-A; Prof. Weena M. Paclibar, adviser BPEd 4-A ; and Prof. Hennel Rhee S. Funtecha, adviser BPEd 4-B.
In his closing remarks, COP Dean Dr. Christopher T. Jaspe shared empowering words with the future educators, encouraging them to acknowledge obstacles as opportunities for growth.
"Acknowledge the importance of obstacles as they are viewed as opportunities for growth; life is a marathon, not a sprint. The ability to persevere in the face of adversity," he stressed.
The pinning ceremony, a collaborative effort with the College of Education, marked a significant milestone for COP pre-service teachers, symbolizing their dedication and readiness to embark on their teaching profession journey.
