Narrative Report

“BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR LEARNING: INTENSIVE TRAINING FOR

GRADES 2 AND 3 TEACHERS AND ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM (ALS)
IMPLEMENTERS ON THE BIG 6 DOMAINS OF LITERACY, NUMERACY STRATEGIES
AND INSLUSIVE EDUCATION”.

In-Service Training is the process by which teachers engage in further education or

training to refresh or upgrade their professional knowledge, skills and practices in the
course of their employment. In this vein, it can be said that INSET is a continuing and
practical activity for teachers to develop their skills throughout the education process. In-
service training can take different forms in attempting to achieve different objectives in order
to bring change in education.

Our opening program and our first sessions took place on the first day of training.
"The Nature of Reading and the Component of Teaching Process" is the topic of discussion
for the first speaker of the morning session. It explains the various perspectives on reading
as well as how teachers can assist students in identifying the various methods and
techniques to get pupils interested in reading. The speaker also highlights the rationale
behind the MATATAG curriculum's implementation of NLRP and its five subgroups,
including the NLC, NRP, NMP, NSTP, and other programs. The second speaker delves into
"The Science Reading," emphasizing the role of the human brain in the development of the
six literacy domains and its significance for reading and learning. Additionally, the speaker
highlights the application of explicit instruction in the Science of Reading, or SOR. The third
speaker addresses "Teaching approaches in mathematics and early numeracy skills for
learners who struggle to perform adaptive skills." In addition to discussing the symptoms of
various LSEN, the speaker offers accommodations for teaching these students.

The first speaker on day two discusses "Building Oral Language Skill for Literacy
Development." The focus of the discussion was on the importance of oral language for
language learners' growth. The second speaker discusses "The Phonological Awareness"
and the proper way to understand and become proficient with it. The speaker
recommended that the participants use the Phonemic Awareness Tasks in their teaching
and learning processes, since these will also benefit those dissatisfied students. The
speaker discusses "The Phonic and Word Recognition" in the afternoon session,
emphasizing various beginning reading teaching strategies. The topic of discussion is "The
Marungko and Fuller Approach in Teaching Reading." These are the various methods or
approaches you can use and strategies to assist your pupils in the process of teaching and

learning. These methods are highly beneficial as they enable you to teach reading to your
students with tremendous effect. In his speech, the third speaker discusses "The Fluency in
Reading," emphasizing the value of vocabulary as well as its guiding ideas and methods.

The first speaker discusses "The Reading Comprehension" on the third day of
instruction. It's the comprehension problems and skills where SVR is being emphasized.
Successful instructional strategies for teaching comprehension are also covered by the
speaker. How crucial is it to ask meaningful questions while teaching reading
comprehension? was the final question posed before the session ended. "Developing Early
Numeracy Skills with Learners with Concentration Difficulty" is the topic of the second
speaker's presentation. Activity ideas from the speaker included word problems, patterns,
relationships, capacity conundrums, place value puzzles, and pizza fractions.

The speaker spent much of the fourth day talking about "The Fundamentals of
Numeracy," emphasizing the elements, value, and strategies for strengthening numeracy
abilities. The subject got us thinking about how fun and engaging it should be to teach K–1
students numeracy. "Teaching kids to count is fine but teaching kids what counts is the
best," was the comment that concluded the topic. Speaking next, the topic is "Learning
Math Skills through Abacus." The speaker goes over the uses of an abacus, its advantages
for learning the fundamentals of mathematics, and its skills. As participants, we received
instruction on how to use the abacus. It provided us with knowledge that is crucial for
assisting pupils in improving their fine motor skills, math proficiency, multitasking abilities,
memory retention, attention, and concentration.

During our final training day, we learn how to create teaching guides for values
education and effective teaching techniques that support the integration of values across a
wide range of competency areas. Next, we completed the ILAS Intensive Learning Activity
Sheet and submitted our results. Numerous perspectives from participants from various
schools were shared as the session came to a close. Our closing ceremony and certificate
distribution also took place.

Being a part of this five-day in-service training was an amazing privilege. I gain a
tremendous deal of knowledge and skills from it that really aid in molding the cognitive,
psychomotor, and affective aspects of my learners. The program was packed with
educational opportunities, and the knowledge I learned will be very beneficial to my
professional development as a teacher.
