As part of the professional growth activities of the teachers who pioneered the Senior High School in Department of Education, we are now undergoing an 18-day training for the Academic Track- ABM Strand from April 18 to May 5, 2017.
If you've been following my blog, you'd probably know that I am an English Teacher and ask why I'm included in the ABM group. Actually, I am originally listed under Cluster A for English teachers (I'm supposed to be training at PNU instead of Sta. Isabel College). However, in Senior High School, I probably won't be teaching English related subjects this coming School Year 2017-2018. So some of my co-teachers who were listed under Cluster M (ICT & IT teachers) ask us to replace them since they have already undergone this training last year. DepEd has not released any training dates yet for Cluster A so I gladly accepted it. Thinking that I will be teaching Media and Information Literacy and Empowerment Technology, I decided to accept the challenge.
The problem is, this training is designed for teachers who will be teaching students under the ABM strand. So most of the subjects being offered are related to Accounting, Business and Management. That's where the problem started
We, teachers included in the Cluster M, do not have any background in accounting which leaves us so drained mentally and emotionally after days of studying Accounting, Business Math and Business Finance.
It was difficult, especially if you don't have any background knowledge about it. Since I majored in English, I do not really have Accounting subject during my college days. During high school, accounting is not offered to our sections. It was offered to students in sections 1 to 5 only. By the way, I studied in Rizal High School and there are 45 sections in my year level that time. I am included in the second bracket so accounting isn't one of the offered elective subjects.
It was challlenging. It was fun, well, sort of, because the professor is quite good and a bit entertaining. I don't like it (accounting), but I also do not hate it. So I guess I can continue studying it.
Business Math and Business Finance is an alltogether different matter. Lately, I've been thinking of starting investments. I came across COL financial and got curious. I want to try it but I literally have zero background about investing. So having business finance and business math somehow gave me an overview of what it is. So I really interested in these two subjects. I'm actually planning on buying the books just to study it and maybe register ina seminar at philstock exchange.
I guess I'm at the age where I'm already mature enough to think about investments and finacial stability.
Anyway, back to the training, so far so good. The first week is mind boggling and exciting(if you count the scary stories your roommates tell you at night). I'm also looking forward to MIL and EmpTech subjects. I'm excited to gain more on this training and be more equipped before another school years comes.
