TEACHERS’ RESILIENCY

CATHERINE P. SIOJO

Education has been extremely beneficial to the globe, especially to people, for more than two years. The Covid 19 Pandemic brought up so many unavoidable circumstances. Numerous lives were lost and numerous individuals struggled. There has been a significant shift in the educational environment. But it appears that the conflict with Covid is over. We should develop the ability to adapt to the rapidly changing world as educators. Back in college, my lecturer would frequently advise me to "Never lose hope whenever obstacles come your way. If you make plans for anything and run across obstacles along the way, discover how to go around them to accomplish your objectives. As a teacher, you have a responsibility to inspire change. These straightforward remarks from my lecturer are very important, especially in this pandemic period. Education has been impacted. Our mission to deliver high-quality, relevant education has been jeopardized. Everyone in the community, including the students, teachers, administrators, and school officials, has experienced moments of despair due to the current circumstances. Everyone hopes to recover quickly and return to their normal selves. Teachers are returning to the classroom along with the students. What has been destroyed and lost is being attempted to be rebuilt. We have observed the loopholes and weaknesses in education, particularly with regard to students' academic achievement. As a result, it is our duty as educators to ensure that our students learn in preparation for whatever may be at risk. We may have encountered difficulties in reimplementing the face-to-face modality, but this shouldn't stop us from acting as the community's change agent, not just for the learners. It is crucial that we play a significant role in society. These are the learners, and we are the architects of tomorrow.
