From Classroom to the Community: Teachers as Catalyst of Change

Teachers have strong connection and responsibility in the community as a leader.

We are the facilitators of learning and responsible for students holistic development.
Therefore, we have to extend our efforts by enriching them with a healthy environment
conducive to learning and growth. By being active to community engagements such as tree
planting, coastal clean up, feeding programs and the like. These programs would develop
students’ social and moral aspects.

In order to manage students, teachers should be a great leader. In becoming a great

leader, one should set an example to the learners by being open-minded, expert, well-
informed, reflective, optimistic, and solution-oriented. Now that we are in the middle of
pandemic our presence in the community played a vital role. We became one of the front
liners in the country considering that education is essential in our economic growth. Our
leadership skills were tested but we are resilient and determined to resolve all of our
predicaments in the current curriculum. Many parents and students had vent out their
frustrations and pushed for academic freeze. It might sound impossible at first to provide
quality education this pandemic times but the Department of Education together with the
teacher have shown that it is possible. With this simple act we have shown how to be
socially, morally, pedagogically and environmentally concerned for the betterment of our
community.
