Preparing my Personal Lifelong Learning Plan was not easy because I had encountered a

lot of difficulties. At first I just took it for granted, underestimated the task because I assumed it
was a simple work that could be accomplished right away. But I was really wrong! It took me
almost two weeks to accomplish it because I had to scan again the module, read it again and
again, pondered important points, assessed my own strengths and weaknesses and then
organized my thoughts before I started working on it. I thought my difficulty ended there, but I
was wrong again because as I kept on working my plan, I encountered more struggles and
realizations.

When I began making my PLLP I realized that I am privileged to be given a chance to

enroll this course. The learning environment is different, the course - content is timely, my co-
learners and my FLT were just connected via technology, we are completely stranger from each
other but we happily learned together collaboratively … all these things are new to me. These
wonderful experiences inspire me to never stop learning. At the same time, it has opened my
mind to another medium of learning environment that could also be applied to my learners. This
had been my motivation when I started working my personal lifelong learning plan because I
wanted to cascade my new experiences and learning to my learners.

On the other hand, as I jotted down my weaknesses or area to be improved as a 21st

century teacher, I felt the guilt of not working my flaws immediately as facilitator of learning at
the same time; I sensed the urgency of upgrading myself. However, I am still grateful for I know
it is not yet too late because I able to gradually patch up my deficiency. Moreover, I able to
realize that I should never stop learning; I should keep on going, not just for my personal
satisfaction but for the sake of my learners who have the right to receive quality education.

Further, reflecting and pondering on the seven (7) literacies that a 21st century teacher
must have, made me realized that I am obliged and responsible of helping myself, to keep on
upgrading my technical skills so that my learners would not be deprived to learn up-to-date and
relevant life-long learning competencies. I have to be versatile, flexible and more than willing to
attend the different needs of my learners as a competent and productive instructional leader. So,
when I supplemented all the data needed in every columns of my PLLP, I almost drained my
mind because I have to see to it that my plan is pro-active, workable and manageable. All
aspects of my plan have to be scrutinized well so that each feature would best represent my
needs particularly on how it would be worked-out. Lastly, my PERSONAL LIFELONG LEARNING
PLAN has been designed to be flexible so that it will always complement and address the needs
of 21st century teachers.
