As a result of this Webinar, I can:

1. Start doing…

While I am already receptive to any concerns and clarifications, I recognize the need to be even
more open-minded towards other faculties. It's crucial for me to be mindful of my words and
actions to ensure effective communication and positive interactions.

2. Stop doing…

I need to more vigilant and avoiding laxity, particularly when assigning tasks to my students, as
it's imperative to ascertain that they are not solely relying on ChatGPT for their responses. As
an educator, I recognize the necessity to cross-verify and confirm that the task responses
genuinely emanate from the students themselves. This proactive approach ensures the integrity
of the learning process and reinforces the importance of students' independent understanding
and application of knowledge.

3. Continue doing…

I am committed to persistently pursuing the optimal outcomes for my students, placing a

particular emphasis on the welfare of my faculty, specifically the Senior High School (SHS)
Department, and prioritizing my personal growth and well-being. My dedication extends to
making decisions and taking actions that contribute positively to the academic and overall
development of my students, ensuring the flourishing of the faculty members within the SHS
Department, and fostering my own continuous improvement and fulfillment.
