The Virtual Orientation Program first session with our very own Keynote Speaker was Dr. Juan
Primitivo P. Petrola, Education Supervisor II, Teacher Education- Commission on Higher Education-
Region 1, PSU Alumnus-Bayambang Campus- batch 2008, as what he said on his speech that "Teaching
is the Noblest Profession", that also according to Abdul Kalam "Teaching is a very noble profession
that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual", the teachers play an integral role in
designing and managing the learning environment, leading instruction and providing expert guidance
and support while encouraging students to take increasing ownership of their learning, in the New
normal we are facing right now, through this pandemic, Teachers should be flexible, that s/he can turn
the Traditional classroom setting into a Flipped classroom setting. Dr. Petrola said that " We are still
on our way towards the NEW NORMAL...we have not yet reach our Destination", in response to the
New Normal, Teachers should be versatile and also be an Technology Literate, but Technology
matters: Technology makes it easier for the teachers to adapt, modify and enhance classroom lessons
on ways far different with the days of dusty green chalkboards and rattling transparent projectors, to
cope with the New Normal following should be able to do and maintain: Intermittent internet
connection is no longer a problem, full acceptance of the concepts and practice of flexible learning,
gadgest are no longer issues and problems among learners and teachers, teachers are fully trained
and equipped with technology knows-hows amd lastly SMART campuses are reality, but how can we
achieve this SMART campuses?. The desired destination of any educational institution to this new
normal is to become a SMART campuses, in line with this are the features like: Customized Tablets,
Sensor, Mobile Devices, Touch Boards, Interactive Projectors, Wi-Fi, Pana Boards and CCTV, but those
features of SMART campuses are truly hard to attain. In the Orientation Program Dr. Petrola also
tackled about "Personalized Learning", this is to make individual/s learning needs the primary
consideration in important educational and instructional decisions rather than what might ne
preferred, more convenient or logically easier to Teachers and Schools, 2015 study funded by the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation: "The adoption of Personalize Learning approaches has increased
significantly in recent years due in part of rapid advances in technology platforms and digital content",
but how to apply this Personalized Learning for students?, first set personal learning plans, second
encourage self-assessment, third conduct frequent formative assessment, fourth use project-base
learning, fifth introduce "student voice", sixth increase parent involvement, seventh offer more
learning pathways, eight swith to standard-based grading, ninth utilize digital tools and last one teach
digital literacy, in this New Normal and New Generation, more students are 21st century skilled, but
according to Alvin Toffler, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn". Teaching is the Noblest Profession, without
teacher, there is no other profession, Teaching is a Mission, and not a Job as what Dr. Juan Primitivo
P. Petrola said "Isa kang GURO, hindi Guro lang".
