College of Teacher Education
CTE extension services goes international
Dr. Cynthia G. Quiambao, CTE
Advocacy begins with a very simple statement, helping people is serving thyself. As Educators, we do not stop thinking and craving to widen the scope of sharing the pedagogical principles of teaching. The College of Teacher Education (CTE) gearing towards to becoming the Center of Excellence expands its wings to be higher, bolder and stronger in the years to come.
On October 19-21, 2018 CTE conducted the first ever International Extension Activity in partnership with Siriwat Wittaya School in Bangkok Thailand headed by President Mustafa Bas under the ESS Program. The Seminar-Workshop entitled “Realms of Pedagogy in Teaching” was held in Siriwat Wittaya School Auditorium, Bangkok Thailand.
The activity covered the following topics: Introduction to Pedagogical Practices and Skills; Standards of Effective Pedagogy; Differentiated Instruction and Pedagogical Methods and Strategies with Best Practices. Dr. Cynthia G. Quiambao, Dr. Nino B. Corpuz, Dr. Jasper Jay N. Mendoza and Dr. Erwin P. Lacanlale served as the resource speakers, respectively.
The active and cooperative participants in the seminar-workshop included South Africans, Americans, Turkish, Japanese and Thai Nationals. Several workshops were given to improve the pedagogy of teaching which highly considered the cultural differences as a form of strategy to qualify further the styles and techniques in teaching that will lead them to the joy in teaching.
Feeding Program of Project RICH

The Department of Education (DepEd) has directed school principals in public elementary schools to feed wasted and severely wasted pupils. In Trinidad Elementary School, a rural school in Tarlac City, 40 pupils were identified based on their Body Mass Indices (BMI). Upon request of the school head, a double meal feeding program was conducted for 90 days by Tarlac State University -College of Teacher Education (TSU-CTE) under the BEED, BECED and Graduate School Programs where Dr. Cynthia G. Quiambao and Dr. Alma M. Corpuz, the Project Leader and Project Co-leader of PROJECT RICH, respectively in partnership with government and non-government supporters.
Participants of the program were forty pupils, eight teachers, one school head and six parents who assisted the feeding program.
Based on the needs survey, it was found that 40 pupils were wasted and severely wasted. The school head of TES, Dr. Julius G. Gamis requested to prioritize feeding program to address the nutritional needs of the pupils immediately. And the project was sealed through the signing of MOA between TES and TSU.
Before starting the feeding program, the BMI of the pupils were taken. After getting the BMIs of the pupils, feeding proceeded. Pupils had double meals- breakfast and lunch. Aside from the food, they were also given multivitamins daily and milk or chocolate. This ran for 90 days (180 meals). Ideally, according to the city health and DepEd, feeding should run from 90 to 120 days to see improvement in the nutrition of the pupils.
Fourteen cavans of rice was donated for the entire feeding program. These were provided by the Pioneer Project REACH, Inc. (PPRI). LPG and purified drinking water were provided by STO. Funds to purchase food materials were provided by PPRI, PI OMICRON International Alumni Assoc., Tarlac Chapter, PAMET, Tarlac Chapter and MAED Physical Science Students.
Volunteer parents were in charged also of cooking, serving and cleaning the room where the feeding program was conducted. Parents, teachers and pupils took turns in giving milk and vitamins. Usually breakfast consisted of soup, arrozcaldo, boiled bananas, boiled eggs, rice cakes, and milk or chocolate. Vitamins were also given after breakfast. It should also be noted that before eating, pupils had to wash their hands in the pantry. The health leader usually inspected their nails before giving them food. Additionally, parents who prepared the food were also asked to wash their hands and use hairdressers to avoid of contaminants.
The usual meals served during lunch time were pork or chicken adobo, pinakbet, sinigang, tinola, chopsuey, fried chicken, mixed vegetables, fried fish, and La Paz bachoy. Pupils enjoyed the food served by their teachers and parents.
After 90 days, post-assessment was conducted. The health leader measured the BMIs of the pupils. The BMIs in pre- assessment were compared to the BMIs after feeding or the post-assessment.
