MY REFLECTION
For me, with schools to reopen its doors the following school year, it’s
vital to plan how schools will be able to pursue their mission of implementing
quality education to every student. As school is a public place where crowd is
unavoidable and children are vulnerable, there is a need to strengthen policy in
terms of the delivery of instruction - to provide opportunities for online learning
platforms. Numerous innovative programs have been proposed by the different
learning sectors in here in our country, the Philippines. COVID-19 Pandemic
leads to a more complex changes due to its broad effect globally. Due to these
changes brought about by the surge of this disease, our educational system
come up with its Basic Education-Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) to better
serve its stakeholders primarily the learners being the center of the curriculum.
No child will be left behind and learning will not stop throughout the year. To
ensure that learning will continue considering the COVID-19 Public Health
Emergency, the Department of Education adopts the BE-LCP using DepEd
Order No. 012, s. 2020 which was designed in response to the "new normal".
DepEd Order No. 012, s. 2020 enlightened to protect the health, safety and
well-being of the learners, teachers, and other school personnel. For me, this
program ensures that every student will gain the breadth of skills and the
most essential learning competencies necessary in a rapidly changing world
despite of our current situation. What matters most nowadays is not just the
learning, knowledge, and skills that learners should be learned but how they
would make these learning into reality where everyone can address their
needs to survive and be able to adopt constantly in these changes.

For me, this is no different from the 7 skills mentioned by Tony Wagner,
the skills mentioned in Reimer's book have become more specific but the
concept or what the author wants to convey is still the same. Of Tony Wagner's
7 skills, it is a combination of the skills mentioned in Reimer's book. So for me
really, even if we reverse these ideas, the concept/motive/objective is still the
same and that is for an individual to be holistic, productive and well-developed.
As a teacher, Reimer is right that I must consider the skills, the learnings they
should get or acquire from me. It must be timely and relevant to their lives that
they can really make the most of their personality and that they have developed
into a more productive one. I still need to focus and change everything. I need
to give more what is right for them by maximizing different educational and
technological platforms, teaching methodologies that suit them, I must provide
differentiated activities and more importantly and to enlighten them about the
so-called breadth and life skills.
