Inspired by the Reading Teacher's Hub

As I continued this quest to understand the BESRA as communicated and implemented to schools (I started Sunday, 7 March), I found another blog that was a wealthy resource for any teacher.  The Reading Teacher's Hub by the lovely Inez Asuncion of DepEd is full of interesting materials which a teacher can learn from.  It is so gratifying to know that she has continued to share her gifts and resources with others.

Thanks Inez...and it's always a pleasure to read your work!

Inspired by THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

It's been really challenging -- this job I have which is to write about BESRA and its manifestations on the ground IF WE HAD A REFORM MINDED PRINCIPAL. It is amazing that during my search for inspiration and sources, I found THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK, a blog managed/written bya 37 year old principal from Region 4A. I've been reading his posts and I can feel through his words the desire to make learning in his school better. Salutations and many thanks for the inspiration your blog gave me this afternoon.
