Second year BSEd English students recently participated in Lesson Alchemy: A Workshop on Crafting Impactful Plans and Mastering the Art of Teaching on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at ACC Business Incubation Facility.
The event, part of their EL 111 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 course under the supervision of Prof. Alvin V. Advincula, featured a session led by a former English Guild president and alumni, Mrs. Diana Jane Cantilang whose experience and expertise proved invaluable.
The workshop aimed not only to empower BSEd English students with knowledge but also to give them a platform to collaborate, share creative ideas, and gain feedback as they prepare for their respective lesson plan creation and teaching demonstrations.
Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, students learned how to integrate technology effectively in their teaching strategies, making lessons more interactive and impactful.
Andrea Gadin, one of the participant shared that the workshop provided her with a deeper understanding of how important it is to fuse creativity with structure when preparing a lesson plan.
“Listening to the experiences of our guest speaker, who shared practical insights from her own journey, was particularly inspiring. It showed me the significance of continuous learning and adapting to new teaching methods in an ever-evolving educational landscape.”, Gadin explained.
Moreover, Amor Magallanes another participant mentioned that the hands-on activities were invaluable, and the discussions surrounding lesson plan development were eye-opening.
“I left the workshop feeling more confident in my ability to craft lesson plans. This experience has prepared me not only to excel in my course but to become a more thoughtful and innovative educator.”, Magallanes added.
This transformative workshop not only set the stage for their imminent lesson plan creation and teaching demonstrations but also instilled a deeper understanding of how thoughtful planning and reflective practice can truly turn everyday lessons into powerful learning experiences.
