The activity was participated in by the Chief Education Supervisors, Education Program Supervisors, Public Schools District Supervisors, School Heads, Assistants to the Principal, Unit Heads, Senior Education Program Specialists, Education Program Specialists II, and Planning Officer III.

In her message, Dr. Ladines emphasized that CPD should not be viewed as a mere requirement for renewal of PRC license but as a means to help teachers grow professionally.

Dr. Rosie O.    Rumbaoa, CPD focal person from SGOD, stated the background and rationale of the rollout. She also discussed, “CPD: What Is It Really,” including the CPD legal bases, IRR, and other important notes.

Dr. Genie-Ann Santos, schoolhead from La Huerta ES, presented the participants a menu    of various learning modalities to choose from. She reiterated that aside from trainings and LAC, other learning modalities may also be applied for CPD units.

            Dr. Arlyn M. Brigola, EPS I and CPD team member for CID, discussed thoroughly the parts and the hows of instructional design. Workshop on preparation of instructional designs then followed wherein the participants were grouped according to Districts.

The presentations were critiqued by Dr. Ladines who supplemented the outputs with crystal clear ideas, making it easy for the groups to polish their work. Furthermore, Dr. Rumbaoa also discussed the submission process of CPD application and introduced the Division CPD team.

             Dr. Ladines and Dr. Mascarina led the awarding of    certificates to the resource speakers and the participants. Dr. Gerry Catchillar, schoolhead of PNHS Baclaran and PSDS Marita Briones delivered their impressions as regards the flow and content of the rollout.
