SCHOOL LEARNING ACTION CELL SESSIONS SY 2022-2023
As an institution of learning, the Department of Education (DepEd) works to protect and promote the right of Filipinos to quality basic education that is equitable, culture-based, and complete, and allows them to realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation. The investment of the DepEd in the development of human potential is a commitment it makes not only to its learners but also its teachers. Towards this end, the DepEd fully supports the continuing professional development of its teaching personnel based on the principle of lifelong learning and the view of the teaching profession as one that “requires teachers expert knowledge and specialized skills, acquired and maintained through rigorous and continuing study” (UNESCO 1966).
Key aspects of the process are ongoing collaborative learning or problem solving within a shared domain of professional interest, self-directed learning, reflective practice leading to action and self-evaluation, and collective competence. The following are the objectives:
1. to improve the teaching-learning process that will lead to improved learning among the students;
2. to nurture successful teachers;
3. to enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes; and
4. to foster a professional collaborative spirit among school heads, teachers, and the community as a whole.
