Student success programs advocate student engagement, learning,
and progress toward the student's own goals through cross-functional
leadership and the strategic application of technology

SSP leads to the following goal and know how to achieved it.
Focused:students stay on track—keeping their eyes on the prize.
Nurtured: students adapts humility and the drive to hit the pinacle of success.
Engaged: students actively participate in class
and various extracurricular activities

As a SHS faculty, connecting with your students is very essential in creating a safe space for them. It allows them to be more of themselves thus making them excel at their own respective area of specialties.
This safe space involves making decisions that will allow them to be more proactive and goal-driven individual. Seeing them happily enjoying their classes makes my heart skips a beat. This are the moment that I can say that I have made lives better through education.

Making lives better thru education

2022-06-20 01:47:11 UTC

Good day.
I'm hired 7 months ago. I think I have shared some my 14yrs of clinical experience during clinical duty in the hospital.

What is your SSP Story?

2022-06-20 02:26:21 UTC

I believe that our job does not only revolve in teaching in the academe, but most importantly in advising our students in the careers they would like to take. In our SSP classes, we learn to create rooms for in-depth talk about life's challenges and motivation. We become more of "a listener" and "a communicator". When you open up to these students, build connections and show as their model and source of inspiration (because of your own success stories), the circle get strengthened. At times, we did not even realize we become more comfortable being strict yet warm advisers to our students and we become the happiest and proudest human being every time they become successful.

Having one on one talks with my students helped me understand them better. I am grateful of SSP because it gave me the chance to be their friend and confidante. One of my most unforgettable experience was when one of my students confided in me about his substance addiction and I was able to help him find his feet again after series of talking with him. Right now he's doing well in his studies and he's active in sports.

2022-06-20 02:40:03 UTC

SSP definitely helps us in more ways than one, in making our lives better.

What is your SSP Story?

2022-06-20 03:00:57 UTC

As a faculty, thru SSP, I get the chance to do Kamustahan sessions with our students. With that, I can understand better the situation of our students especially when we are in the transition stage of our educational system.

It is our bridge in creating rapport and building camaraderie with them which makes them feel that sense of belongingness with the College. There were students I've talked to before who were dealing with personal problems thanking me for the words of encouragement I have given to them and are now more motivated to continue their studies. Those were certain moments that I can say I am really an educator and will continue to make the lives of our students better through education.

SSP Story

2022-06-20 03:01:11 UTC

Student Success Program is a great avenue for us teachers and to our students as well. This platform allows communication between the teachers and the students which may be difficult to manage during a normal classroom setting.

There is a time where my student shared her plan of quitting her classes because of personal reasons. As I talked to her, I encouraged her to finish the semester and think clearly ahead. She followed my advice and as I saw her grades, it is very fulfilling that she made it this semester.

Thus, the PHINMA legacy of making lives better through education is always visible.

SSP STORY

2022-06-20 03:01:33 UTC

Hearing different stories in the classroom will make you think about your job as a teacher. It is our duty to know our students more than just their names.

One story that touched my heart is knowing that my student did not take my exam it is because on that particular day he was selling dried fish in the street. He asked permission to take the exam late.

Each person has a story to tell. We must give time to listen to their stories. We must know our students so that we can help them properly.

2022-06-20 03:10:56 UTC

I have not yet handled SSP subject. In my own way, I frequently asked my students how are they doing in their studies. I also motivate them to persist during this pandemic.

2022-06-20 03:11:48 UTC

As a teacher, our task is not just to transmit knowledge and skills to our students but taking a bit of time and care to get to know them as individuals can make us more effective and impactful teacher.

I have not yet handled any SSP class but as a student before how I wish I was able to experience it. To me SSP is a Bible to make one prepared not only for Academic purposes but real-life preparations. This SSP makes our curriculum unique from all the rest of Universities and Colleges.

SSP: Success Stories Presented

2022-06-20 03:43:30 UTC

Recently, My first batch of "anaks" in Senior High School graduated from their bachelor's degree. To be honest, I felt proud in their achievements and I am a bit sentimental recalling their SHS journey. I still have with me the letters I asked them to write during one of our SSP sessions addressing their future selves. Some of the letters were written like prophecies, as if they have that power to peek for the future. Others on the other hand were caught by unexpected circumstances in life. But Overall, I am equally proud of the person they have become and seeing them now living life as young adults, fighting for their dreams and passions makes my heart flutter. But what makes me more grateful is the fact that they still remembered me, despite the fact that I was only a fragment of their success story. In moments like this, I can say that Indeed, in my own little ways I have made my students' lives better through education.

2022-06-20 04:05:35 UTC

There was a plethora of experiences in the past that made me say “Indeed, I can make lives better through education!”.

The greatest memory would be being appreciated in speeches or social media posts of former students who topped in the board licensure examination for dentists.
Another would be seeing in their Facebook posts that they have utilized what you were teaching in the past. Since I was teaching Dental Practice Management, I used to introduce lessons and skills that were not utilized by former lecturers. These include the use of CAD in designing 3D representations of clinics, the creation of their own dental practice websites, and the use of dental practice management software for dental charting. Oddly, the memory that made an imprint was when a former student, who is now a co-teacher, told me that my teaching strategies were effective.

Being invited to speak at international, national, and local conferences and seeing your former students as successful colleagues is also another experience that made me realize that I can make lives better through education. In summary, the best indicator that you’ve made better lives is when the student surpasses the teacher.

When I was just starting out as a part of the faculty members, I once had a student who struggled with reading comprehension. When I first heard about this student, my first thought was about how hard it would be for him to find work and build a successful career. However, when I urged him to take responsibility for his actions, be truthful with himself, and make an effort to catch up on the reading he had missed, he did so. Moreover, when I met him at his graduation, he informed me that he had recalled everything I had ever spoken to him and that he was glad for those things.

The true measure of student success is how well students are prepared to accomplish their current and future academic, personal, and professional goals. This is accomplished by the development of students' knowledge, a sense of responsibility and self-reliance, as well as a connection to the college and the wider community.

egbustalinococ — 2022-06-20 04:41:48 UTC

SSP is also an eye opener to the students that there is no easy way or shortcut to success. It is also a tool guide, mold and train them to face challenges and help them to aim for their main goal in life.

SSP story

2022-06-20 04:46:16 UTC

In handling a ssp I realized that teacher is not just a job , it's actually the first step on how to become a parent, Because once you become a teacher , you'll know how it feels to take care of others that you look up as a children . We the teacher's are the one who would there for them if when they are in need . I always Motivate or encourage them in times of challenges that they are facing in there life.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-06-20 04:53:26 UTC

I've been an SSP Adviser for a long time, and I've come across many hidden life stories of my students that were mostly confidential. I learned a lot of stories about courage, determination, and confidence in attempting to achieve that goal for the family and for myself through SSP. Doing the "Kamustahan" session, particularly during the pandemic, reminded me of what it's like to be a regular student with big dreams... that a simple "Hello" or "Hi" means so much to them.

My SSP students are now about to graduate from university. My students' choice of me as a character reference for job applications made me appreciate my job as a Student Success adviser... Thank you for remembering those days when we were trying to succeed in the midst of daily stress. I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors!

2022-06-20 04:58:05 UTC

I have not yet handled any SSP class, but in my own way as a teacher, I'm doing KAMUSTAHAN everyweek and posted it on our google classroom or facebook groupchat. I always make sure that me and my students are well connected before proceed to our class discussion.
Common questions:

How are you today?
How are you feeling?
What are your mood today?

Whenever i witness my SSP students getting their diploma on stage during their graduation and saw them reaching their dream career it is when i can say "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!". There is joy in serving the Filipino youth through education.

2-year exp. on remote learning

2022-06-20 05:26:10 UTC

This pandemic creates numerous experiences. Before I begin remote learning, I have a lot of questions in my mind. First, how can I ensure that the learning is genuine? How can I make my classroom more interactive? and what strategies should I employ to address those various circumstances? . These problems are too dangerous to solve. However, thanks to Google's new strategy, all remote learning issues have been resolved. These are examples of student outcomes. 1. Students are aware of their sense of accountability. Due to a deadline or time constraint, students cooperate in class. 3. Students are innovative in how they present their work and adapt well to new experiences. They do not rely solely on the teacher's concept, but they do their best.

"Making lives better through education"
As an NSTP adviser, one-on-one talk with your student is heartwarming and fundamental. M&M is one of the things that I remembered that truly connect you to your students. The students opening-up with their struggles and challenges in life, be it academic or personal, enlightened the teacher on how to handle his students. Encourage them to finish their studies no matter how difficult life is. Now, seeing my students graduated made me conclude that I indeed made their lives better through education.

Ang SSP Story Ko

2022-06-20 06:37:56 UTC

We all suffered because of the pandemic. It took a great toll on our students. However, something bigger than the toll it hit them happened. It was the realization of how important education it was to them, how it meant for their parents, and how it would save their community.

This is my SSP story. And as their teacher, it is my responsibility to help and support them in making their realizations within reach.
-Rolaine Ann Polo, SWU MedTech

SSP STORY

2022-06-20 07:09:47 UTC

I cant still vividly remember how devastated I felt when I found out that my SSP class was involved in a cheating incident. What was more hurtful is that I was the one who discovered it. It didn't cross my mind to keep it a secret, because I knew it was wrong. It was just difficult because I, their tatay, had to do it. It was right... I was right to report them, but it hurt a lot!

I had to talk with them, heart-to-heart, to make them realize how wrong it was to cheat. Some of them opened up about pressures they feel because of the expectations of others, of their parents.

Through constant communication and reminders, they were able to realize that the only way they could learn and succeed in their education is to study well.

My SSP Story

gcdetablancoc — 2022-06-20 07:15:51 UTC

For me to check if I make sense in my NSTP/SSP classes, I usually ask my students about their learning experience and they can comment it in our Google Classroom. There they can share there thoughts and everything about our lessons and how the subject touch or help them in one way or the other. Here's some of the shared comments of my students from our GCR. And I'm glad that my students had a positive view about SSP activities and by that I believed I've touch them to become a better person.

During our M&M sessions, as I was speaking to the students, I could always hear noises in background. It could be from the television, pets, family member, etc. One particular student caught my attention as I heard her cooking (oil splashing). I thought she's trying to multi-task which I know is difficult. And so, part of our session that time was for them to share their story, their routine, their problem, their burden. I was so touched by what the students shared, most specially the student I mentioned. Life is indeed hard. But she was still very thankful for her life. She even mentioned that she's not expecting that someone from the school will ask her how she is. She cried and shared her burdens. She's relieved and thankful. In that moment, I thought to myself.. this is the rewarding part of my job. It felt good to make lives better through education.

SSP STORY

2022-06-20 07:35:36 UTC

I was able to connect to the lives of my students. Knowing their stories in life and inspiring them to continue learning and battling for their dreams.

"Kamusta ka?"

2022-06-20 07:55:55 UTC

"Kamusta ka?" is the usual line for opening conversation with the students, whether the student has concern or not. This line is a starting point for in order for us to identify if the student can be comfortable of opening his/her concerns to us. This might be very simple words but this is somehow a powerful tool for us to connect with our students. and once the connection is established, knowing your student beyond his/her name, starts. with this, you should be able to listen. As ssp adviser, you should be able to embrace the task of being patient and possess "EXTENDED" understanding Character.
As you listen to students' stories, you may cry, you may get emotional and you may get carried away. but your task as well is to let the student know that you are here to listen, you may not give him/her the best advice, but at least you were there to listen..

Helping students understand the lesson is a part of our job, making sure that they graduate is also one of our apparent tasks. As an SSP adviser, I have encountered several problems that our typical students might go through; rom financial, mental, physical and other aspects of problems that might arise in the course of the student's education. Seeing them move and finish one semester to another and see them posting their graduation pictures somewhat feels like you have made a difference in someone else's life, not a major one but something that will make you think "What I do as a teacher matters."

My SSP Story

2022-06-20 08:02:12 UTC

SSP helped me touch lives in different ways, As I recall how student shared their Ups and down and how they shared their dreams and aspirations, SSP program made an impact to them and helped them in focusing on their life goals, In reality,more often,students tend to stop dreaming and achieving goals whenever facing adversities but SSP program made sure that they continuously think and pursue them in spite of anything, they are reminded of being grateful as well.

Did I make anyone's lives better through education?

mmpalup — 2022-06-20 08:11:49 UTC

I have handled a number of SSP/NSTP classes and there are different students with different personalities under my advisory. One thing I can say about handling SSP/NSTP is that it is challenging but utterly REWARDING. A student sending you a message saying he/she learned a lot from your tutelage is truly a proud experience. You can truly say that you have made a difference in their lives for the better.

SSP

2022-06-20 08:16:19 UTC

SSP is one of my favorite subject, it will let you know more your students academically and personally. You can also learn from your students experience or learnings in life.

My SSP Story

2022-06-20 08:21:06 UTC

I don't have a lot of SSP story to tell, but one thing is for sure- I am a great contributor to my students' success.

The moment that you start LISTENING TO YOUR STUDENTS, that's when you understand them. And they feel you care, they feel your support, they feel your presence - these serve as motivation to be the best version of their selves. They know someone believes in them.

I make lives better through education!

I can make lives better through Education.

Way back 2018 when I met a twins in my class. They are living with their aunt's and uncles in a small house somewhere. According to them, their mom died of cancer before they graduate SHS. They experienced working for their allowance, working hard just to send their selves to school. They are both brainy, humourous and down to earth. The twins changed my life as a teacher when I found out they are experiencing emotional abuse from their relatives. I listened to them, I comforted them, and when I saw them hungry I gave them food. Simple things made them so thankful, appreciates all deeds done. I became an adviser in the school and an ate outside the premise. I offered lecture classes just like what I usually do for those who are struggling in my subject.

They need to leave the country to work in Japan. Right now, they're living comfortably. Away from their relatives who mistreated them, I remember they will always tell me "Ma'am, ikaw Ang isasakay Kong una sa kotse ko ha!" and we will all laugh because everything seems to be unrealistic.

That was years ago. One day, I received a long distance call. Their happy faces registered on my screen! They bought their first cars. Wow.

"Ma'am, we made it because of you. You inspired as to work hard and to focus on our goals. You sheltered light when everything's dark. Hindi man po ako magiging engineer, pero magsisikap pa po ako! Salamat ma'am ha. "

I need to end the call before I'll burst into tears. Iba pa Rin talaga Ang impact Ng isang guro sa labas Ng apat na sulok Ng klase.

Grabe pala. Nakakataba Ng puso. Masasabi ko na kahit paano, I can make lives better through Education.

SSP STORY

2022-06-20 08:24:12 UTC

Handling different students is challenging yet fulfilling/rewarding. They have their own stories, struggles, and experiences that motivates then in pursuing their dreams and even inspire their classmates and teachers. Personally, I learned a lot from my students for the past years and I am still learning. As a teacher, it is our duty to know them deeper not just by their names and to connect with them. For 5 years, I am blessed to be part of our mission, "making lives better through education" and I want to continue being part of it. 🥰

My SSP Story

2022-06-20 08:28:57 UTC

SSP is one of the best that can lead to students progress and connection with your students "anakis". My greatest memory is that students are trusting you as their adviser. Asking for opinions and advise if they need it. Because of SSP i felt that i am not just a teacher but also a real mom for them. Because i felt that i need to help them to have a better knowledge, motivate them and gain confidence.

No one can define success for you; it is something you must define for yourself. Success could imply a sense of contributing to society and making a difference. It could imply a sense of accomplishment and advancement in your career. It could imply being able to pursue your passions. There are a lot of way we can define success but for me as a teacher success means being able to inspire student and being able to make them want to be a better person. It is simply motivating them and pushing them to continue and become the best version of their selves.

REALIZATIONS BY MJ CASTRO

2022-06-20 08:35:53 UTC

From my SSP sessions, I discovered how LOST some of our students are. We know them by their names but we really don't know their story unless a window was left opened for us to take a peek. As Educators, our role does not end only in the four walls of the classroom, it also extends to being surrogate parents. Extra time for an effort to do extra mile is a demand for this. With all the herculean tasks that teachers are asked to do, the TIME to do the extra mile is always challenged. Like everyone else, teachers also need personal time for mental break after a day's work.

2022-06-20 08:38:01 UTC

"Yey!!! Dr. Liz is back! 😍" These were words I never expected to hear from a previous student who was employed as an instructor after passing the licensure exams and is now having a successful practice in the city. What's more was the barrage of messages thereafter from previous students, now practicing dentists, that they were thankful to have been with me for a few years. Admittedly and unashamedly, I was a strict instructor with great expectations of my students/clinicians. I tried my best impart what I knew and what they needed to know to flourish in their chosen course and future careers. And I challenged each and every student/clinician who worked with me in the clinics. I made sure to "quiz" them and make them defend their cases, charts, treatment plans, and even up to how a procedure is supposed to be done to make sure that they really understand what they are doing and not merely doing it for the sake of doing it and not understanding the "hows and whys" they are doing it. I was evaluated and deemed to be part of the lower percentile in the college at one point and that was the reason why I was floored with that simple comment from a previous student and now colleague. It was totally unexpected.

Presently, I work with my students/clinicians via Google Meet and Google Classroom and I always make it a point to ask them in our CONNECT activity how their day is going so far and how they are feeling right at that moment. I think it is important to let them voice out how they are feeling and how they are faring through this hard transition in our education system due to the pandemic. I try my best to interact with each and everyone of them and talk (or chat) with them one-on-one if need be. A few times, students reach out to me saying that they are just about to give up and stop school or that they feel hopeless and not going anywhere with the course. I ask them why they are giving up, what makes them think that the solution is to stop going to school, why they feel hopeless and going nowhere. Usually, students say that they lack the motivation, they lack the support that they need, and that they feel they are doing a lot but getting nowhere. I ask them if they want to hear something and if they say yes, I share my own experiences when I was still a student and when I was reviewing for the board exams - I felt all of those and truthfully, I wallowed in my own self-pity but then soon realized that staying in that "dark pit" in that chapter in my life and not doing anything to lift myself up will not help me get anywhere. I always say that if we want something, we will have to make difficult sacrifices, do the hard work, persevere, and not let anything get in the way of our goals and dreams. If they really get to the conclusion that the path they are on is really not for them, I tell them to pray and ask for guidance with regards to the big decision ahead of them. Because in the end, their happiness and idea of success is all that matters.

I really didn't think that those words will help at that moment for the students who were in their "dark times" but at the end of the year, I was happy to know that those students have seen the "other side" and got out of the rut they were feeling and worked on being better students and individuals. It was and still is uplifting to hear and read messages like that from your students.

As a few of the teachers here have said, the real measure of how we can and have made lives better through education is when we see our students surpass us and when we see that they are happy and successful in their chosen paths. I agree that merely "transferring" information and knowledge is not enough in making our students' lives better, it is through helping the students realize their potential, aid them in making their dreams come true, and give them the chance to be better persons than they were before. We, then, can bask in the glory of their successes and be proud that somehow, even for just a little bit, we have been a part of the stepping stones they needed to push themselves to where they needed and wanted to be.

sgbautistaau — 2022-06-20 08:46:05 UTC

SSP serves as our stream of consciousness where we share each others ups and downs. With this, even if it is done in remote coaching, a silver lining is made.

During our SSP sessions before (3 yrs ago), I have asked students to share their personal stories, their struggles and challenges in life so that other students can understand know that they are not alone. Some have difficulty in finances, some in academics, and some with regards to family. But despite of having these problems, we have recently had our graduation ceremony with these students, June 2022. Indeed, I can make lives better through education!

RAD Learning Math

2022-06-20 08:59:29 UTC

I can't share the screenshot for confidentiality purposes but I have two students of mine who messaged me. The gist of their message is that when they entered the Math program, or the Educ program in general, they were not really sure whether the profession is for them or they deserve to be a teacher. But after having classes with me and knowing me better, they've come to realize that they want to be a teacher like me; a teacher that inspired them to keep on going despite the going getting tough. I have never felt warmth like that ever in my life and that was the moment I knew, I have fulfilled my mission to change lives. ♥️

My SSP experience

2022-06-20 09:41:25 UTC

I had the chance to be an SSP adviser and I was fortunate to be assigned to a class with students who were encountering financial as well as family problems. This experience allowed me to have a personal connection with each of them, listening to their battles and helping them in throughout their journey. At the end of the semester, it warms my heart to learn how these students were able to overcome most of the challenges they encountered.

SSP Story

2022-06-20 10:39:20 UTC

I have encountered a lot of students already specifically in my SSP classes and one of the best practices I believe I have done is this "kumustahan."

In my SSP class, I always make sure to have one on one consultation with my students. It includes not just on academic matters but also with life stories from them. I can better understand my student if I know his story (e.g. reasons why a student has low grades, reasons why sometimes a student is late, reasons why a student is consistently absent in class). From there, I never forget to tell my students how important education is. I always encourage them to continue despite the hardships they experience.

As their SSP adviser also, I always integrate lessons that will inspire them to continue their studies and be successful in life. I act as their disciplinarian whenever there are misbehaviors in the class.

I LISTEN TO MY STUDENTS.

Indeed, I can make lives better through education!

2022-06-20 10:44:22 UTC

I can make lives better through education upon seeing my students earn their College Diploma. What makes life more rewarding when these students acknowledge you for being their inspirations and for being a part of their success.

jcrabeup — 2022-06-20 11:35:21 UTC

To be honest, I've never handled an SSP subject before, but it doesn't mean that I don't give any advise to our dear students... Looking forward to be a part of this great team...And live with the expectations in our mantra: MAKING LIVES BETTER THROUGH EDUCATION!

2022-06-20 11:56:07 UTC

the experience i had teaching SSP was listening to the student's concerns regarding their grades and teachers.

SSP story

2022-06-20 11:56:41 UTC

I believe that being a PHINMA Ed educator go beyond from the four walls of the classroom. It is definitely more than that. SSP classes became an avenue of mentoring and monitoring that will help students keep on tract in reaching their academic dreams ❤

advising and monitoring

2022-06-20 12:56:44 UTC

Honestly, I have no SSP class but it doesn’t mean I did not advise them. As an evaluator of our department, I do advising and monitoring on their academic status

My SSP Story

2022-06-20 13:48:22 UTC

Since SSP was created, I found more meaning to my teaching career. It is during this session that I come to engage more and understand students' lives. It is during this time, students become open about their aspirations yet block with so many challenges. But fortunately, with the teacher's support, encouragement and motivation, their fears of the unknown is faced with determination to push through with their dreams. Their individual dreams that hold the rope which lifts them from falling.

There were testimonies of former students who shared on how their lives were touched, moved and helped by their NSTP advisers(I will try to retrieve from FB posts) through SSP activities. Before, the role model session was shared by a partner through the BUDDY SYSTEM activity. The partner, after their sharing on how their life becomes a role model, stood in front to share. Their stories then has become an inspiration, motivation to others who share similar life's fate.

SSP is a life changing program. This helps save the lives of the confused, lost and strayed.
Every time I see a student (whose life I know) graduates, marches on the stage proudly and happily receives the diploma(after 4 or 5 years), I am usually in tears of joy. I have seen a hero in his/her image. Which reminds me of this song,
...and then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you...

Teachers can also ponder on this song every time he's/she's emotionally bombarded with so much pressures of being a teacher, a mentor, a mother, a sister or a friend in the classroom. This somehow motivates one, to do more instead of getting tired, feeling frustrated and disappointed.

To wrap it all, SSP, truly helps students to succeed.
.
God bless us all!

SSP Story

2022-06-20 14:00:06 UTC

In my 2 years teaching or handling students, I encounter different types of students with different attitude and different approaches needed to know them better. Mostly of our students are working and some are already parents thats why sometimes they tend to burn out due to different factors around them. As their SSP teacher, I am always all ears for them whenever they need someone to talk to or someone that atleast liaten to their rants. Being their SSp teacher is not just teaching basic manners but we are also consider as their friend, and some onf them we treat as family. And I can say that Phinma-Ed we are not just make lives thru education but we also consider their mental health and also, we care. 🥰

You are enough

Pursuing anything in the middle of the pandemic has been tough for everyone, moreso to people who wish to continue on with their studies out of a multitude of reasons. Some refuse to stop because they are scared that they fall out of touch with their initial courses, others wish to continue to not be deterred by the ever changing times. Whichever the reason is, everyone has been rattled by the sudden changes brought by the pandemic, so it is only common for students to project these worries through a lot of their actions and speech in the online environment. While it is true that it has been stressful for many to continue learning in a virtual setup, having to receive words of acknowledgement from students after the school year has reminded me that even the little things such as giving out announcements, replying to their short inquiries, and simply having your presence within the screen has made a big impact to these students.

My Student Success Story

2022-06-20 14:19:20 UTC

I started to teach in the College of Dentistry in 1997. My teaching was interrupted for 5 years when I pursued my postgraduate studies abroad. I came back to teach in 2004. Seeing my students succeed in their chosen profession as a Dentist or as any other professional not even related to Dentistry warms my heart as a teacher. No amount of money can equate to seeing them lead their lives well, become successful parents or even become leaders in their community. Seeing them now as successful individuals tells me I have succeeded as a teacher as well.

•SSP STORY 💚

2022-06-20 17:08:20 UTC

I never thought SSP would also helped me a lot as a teacher.
I just realized 3 things from it;

• when we successfully encouraged our students, we made ourselves happy and satisfied.
•SSP, make our students easy to learn and listen...through our communication with them, we get the chance to know who they really are, what are the difficulties & struggles they currently facing, etc.
•Lastly, we couldn't really understand the true meaning of SSP, "if hindi natin alam kung paano sila i-aapproach, ano ba yung mga key/steps na pwede nating maging guide. Also, we cannot feel the essence of SSP, if at the end of the semester, including your students didn't have the chance to talk to you, didn't have the chance to ask for a piece of advice from you. Ssp for me, is a strong weapon to make our students success.

What is your SSP story?

2022-06-20 17:21:16 UTC

I cant forget my very first FSP now SSP section 1PM1 where most of them were CE students and BSN students. They were not just responsible students but most of them were achievers. From this section came the 3 NLE Board Top notched and all other nursing students also passed the NLE. After a year all the CE students became ClVlL Engr, then the 3 Arch students now License Architects. Some non board courses are at present dong good with their jobs. its really amazing!

I was so happy that time and more happier when we had to celebrate their achievements, their success. At least they still acknowledge me as their mommy nitz.

SSP subject s indeed a tool that really help students to hurdle the hardship n college life. Students are able to identify their '"wants and cans" and develops n them values / habits and positive mindset to become successful n the future.

Phinma really sincere n "Making lives better for our students.

Agreeably, not all students can go 100% in the financial aspect of education. Years back, I would get visits from students before exams calling me "mommy" because they are self supporting students but need parents' signatures on their student loan. Now they're all LPTs living their dreams.

My SSP Story

2022-06-21 00:11:25 UTC

The PHINMA school believes that every student should have the capacity to dream and through education we can change lives and help them reach their dreams

As an educator, being able to communicate and understand students' situations is one of the contributions that I can make. Hearing students' concerns and providing support through lectures, mentoring, and industry experience help my students not only to be prepared for the industry but for life also.

Communicating to them through providing options about their fees, and providing scheduled late examinations are simple ways that I can extend my support to these students.

As educators, we must be the bridge and guide towards their dreams and develop them to become successful individuals.

Being able to inspire my students to reach greater heights. I always remind them the reasons why they are in school, the reasons why they wanted to have a better and a happy life.

MY SSP STORY

2022-06-21 00:58:16 UTC

Student Success Program is not just a subject offered by PHINMA but also a great way for students to be able to connect mentally and emotionally to their adviser. One thing I like about being an SSP adviser is to be able to listen to their happy and sad stories. Through this I become a good listener and motivator.

My SSP Story

2022-06-21 01:05:20 UTC

With SSP, students become real people and not just statistical data. Basic to ensuring student success is to know the learner holistically, to know their context. SSP provides this platform for me to not only monitor my students' academic condition but also to monitor their overall well-being. To be able to help them vent out concerns that inhibit their growth as a student and a person is enough to make me realize how important this program is. There were students who expressed their gratefulness for the warmth extended to them virtually; some were even surprised that it was possible to really talk to a teacher about anything that weigh them down. I also noticed that some demotivated students improved their attitude towards academics after SSP sessions, or after SSP-related consultations. So, more than the usual routine SSP activities that we follow, it's about connecting with the students through the program that makes this relevant.

Inside SSP

2022-06-21 01:39:30 UTC

SSP has become the channel of students to voice out their concerns and connect to the teacher. It has become an arm that embraces students who are in need of care, help, and advice. SSP is indeed an avenue to deliver quality education equally for all.

SSP story

2022-06-21 02:00:17 UTC

I was once able to become an SSP adviser, and when the semester was about to end, during our topic on Gratitude and Guidance; my students expressed their gratitude towards me..they said even if our class was 7:30 am they made sure to attend our class because it boosts their self esteem every time we have our classes...despite all their frustrations and disappointments in their subjects. they even made a joke that SSP should be at least half day..:D...
Through SSP, they were able to express how they feel, their frustrations, academic problems and other problems that might affect their studies and how they are going to deal with it. as the student said, "I feel like I am my true self during our class"
thus, I really think that SSP is a good avenue to show our support and guidance to our students towards their success.

Definition of Student Success

2022-06-21 02:10:04 UTC

For me, student success refers to how well students are prepared to accomplish their current and future academic development, Acquiring and applying learnings from their subjects.

SSP STORY

2022-06-21 02:16:50 UTC

SSP is a safe space for students to reflect about what are their problems and struggles in school and personal life. Where these students are feel comfortable to talk to their advisers. This SSP is very helpful to check the students progress if they met their main goal and to achieve what are their aiming for. In handling SSP, most of the time my experience is UPs and Down, where I encountered different students, problems, and success. I always make sure that no one is left behind, and they achieve their goals even if the life is sometimes so hard.
Their success is my success to (as adviser/teacher)

My SSP Story

jlgerminalcoc — 2022-06-21 02:26:25 UTC

Through SSP, I get to immerse with the students' experiences beyond their academic merits. SSP sessions are centered into how I can help, as a teacher, in realizing the dreams of my students. There was an instance that a student planned to stop schooling due to family and financial problems, but through my intervention, she continued until she graduated.

SSP STORY

2022-06-21 02:26:33 UTC

In my 2 years of teaching SSP subject I will say that the success of our students is when they believe and act as they know what they are doing. Managing SSP class is not that easy as it seems to be because you are the one who always get in touch with the students. All their questions, concerns and other matters will be directed to you. I can say that my students are achieving their own success when the things that they do makes them happy and not just doing it for any other reason.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-06-21 02:46:16 UTC

seeing student being inspired by your simple actions makes me feel more confident and satisfied and of course to do better

What is your SSP Story?

2022-06-21 02:46:24 UTC

As a new teacher, being an SSP adviser is a very huge responsibility. Personally, I do not take it as just a mere job or as a mere checking of STARS or simply sharing some inspirational talks or advice. It is a vocation. It is a way of letting your students open up a little space and letting us ( teachers) to become part of their life journey. It a way of unravelling the different faces of our student's soul, their struggles, their individuality or simply who really they are. Every SSP class, I am just glad that some of my students will share their struggles academically, economically and even personal struggles. I wanna cultivate the culture of empathy towards one another and it is fulfilling to witness some of the students to voluntary share their stories so that everyone will be inspired or learn from it. Some also shared advice, reminders, study tips, and just as simple as how they spent their academic break fruitfully are the memories worth keeping.

2022-06-21 02:47:17 UTC

In the SSP activities, students get to share the challenges and achievements that they face during a given semester. Thus, issues are addressed and concerns are resolved or forwarded to the corresponding offices in the university.

Open Door...

2022-06-21 02:49:55 UTC

Every student that enters my office for a concern is for me an opportunity to make their lives better. When they leave my office, satisfied with the words and direction I have given them, makes my Mission of helping them reach their dreams clearer and alive.

My SSP Story

mbdeveraup — 2022-06-21 02:58:33 UTC

As an SSP adviser, I try to connect with my students and make sure to fulfill my duty as their adviser. I do one-on-one kamustahan to ask them how are they. I assure them that they can be open with me regarding on their concerns. It's fulfilling for me when they thanked me and acknowledged my presence because I feel that they trust me.

I remember this student of mine wants to stop his studies because of personal, financial and academic concerns. We talk it out through chat and let him know that when it comes to his financial concerns, we have student loan, he can try to apply to scholarships available and so on. For his academic concerns, I told him that we will try to ask for extensions(if possible) to his teachers regarding on his activities, and for personal concerns, I can refer him to CSDL. So we did that and thankful that his teachers understand his situation and gave him extension. So this student of mine wrote a letter for me. Saying that he was grateful and thankful that I did not lose hope and trust in him. Reading his letter got me teary-eyed, I'm really happy that he chose to trust on what I said to him, which is to believe in his self, finish the semester than quitting halfway, and education can help him land better jobs. Truly, as a teacher, we can make lives better through education.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-06-21 03:24:38 UTC

Being an SSP adviser is another challenging job as a teacher. Why? Because as an adviser, you'll be able to hear your students' sentiments and life's everyday battles. And somehow sometime, you'll be able to absorb those negative energy.

However, I believe that I am placed in this situation to help my students reach their desired destination of success.

One experience that I was able to tell myself this line; "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!" is when a student was about to quit due to financial problem and others factors. My student and I exchanged messages and told that student that if she stop, who will continue working on her dream? I think that single line made a big impact on her decision whether to stop or to continue. And good thing also that the school is offering student loan that will somehow help the students for the mean time.

This job might require a lot of efforts but it's all worth it :) Let's keep helping and inspiring our students to continue and finish the race!

2022-06-21 03:30:51 UTC

Student Success Program is a great help to all students who are in dire need, whether in personal or academic matters. As an SSP adviser for almost 2 years now, I truly appreciate the essence of this program, which is to help students alleviate their problems by means of counseling and academic advising. Through this program, I was able to know the concerns of my students and I am glad that I was able to address it through the SRM portal. I referred them to the focal person, who can provide them with the necessary interventions. I am also eternally grateful that we have active SSP Coordinators who never falter to remind us to call or chat with our students, especially to those students who are considered as STAR’s. Last June 10, 2022, the first batch of my SSP advisees graduated. They were once lost but they never give up and aspire to reach greater heights. All due credits to SSP program. Indeed, SSP has been a safe space for students to pause for a while and recalibrate their goals.

In a nutshell, SSP is truly a blessing!

Being a Teacher

2022-06-21 03:54:20 UTC

I was a strict instructor with great expectations of my students I aspire to make a difference in others’ lives through education. Because I believe that children can achieve so much more if they learn their potential. Education has always been my priority. My parents always stressed the importance of obtaining an education, having missed that opportunity themselves. My parents taught me as a child that schooling was vital to success in life. Truly, that lesson has been the most important in my path to college. As an instructor, I would like to touch their lives for them to be able to have a good future.

Just an observation, students now tend to be so emotional over things. With that, extending our ears to them and helping them process their emotions also play an important role in making their lives better because by doing such, we made them feel that they're not alone in this journey.

2022-06-21 04:01:22 UTC

Being transparent, concise, honest and understanding when communicating with your student is key. Keep things simple with clear-cut information. Make sure to match the student experience with the correct level of information.

2022-06-21 04:22:59 UTC

Making lives better thru education

2022-06-21 04:30:52 UTC

Some people think that education is limited to learn some subject to earn a certificate. However, education is life; it includes every aspects of life, and its main role is to improve our lives.
As life nwver stops, people should never stop learning because learning new skills boarded your horizons. I can say that i have made lives better through education.

My SSP Story

caoritoup — 2022-06-21 04:35:16 UTC

There's a lot to reminisce on this subject but the important learning about this is to get to know your students and help them with their problems. It can be hard most of the time to monitor each one of them but It will be worth it once you witness them walk up the stage and receive their diplomas.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-06-21 04:36:29 UTC

Honestly, I never wanted to become a teacher. My mom is a retired public school teacher and I have witnessed, what she needs to do for her classes (most especially checking soiled, smelly papers); that is why I detested becoming one.

But everything changed when I joined Best Buddies, an organization that lets volunteers pair up with a special kid; I had the chance to get to know a lot of kids with diverse needs. There was this one boy, Roland who had mental challenges. When I got paired with him for camping, I was able to teach him a few letters of the alphabet and to read CVC words. I couldn't forget his reaction when he was able to read words independently. He never stopped hugging and thanking me for teaching him how to read. It was such an unforgettable experience. From then on, I know that I will be a teacher and that I have the skill to help others alleviate their status in life through education.

Teaching is my passion. I always challenge myself to come up with pedagogies that best suited my students and plan activities that will let my students showcase their intelligence - visually, auditorily, kinetically, musically, etc.

SSP Open up

2022-06-21 04:40:09 UTC

Some students are so afraid to reach out to their teachers. This program provides connection between us, teacher, and students. Some students are now able to tell their stories unlike before, and that's what I think is the purpose of the program, for us to open the heart and minds of the students

Laboratory Online

2022-06-21 04:49:18 UTC

Doing Laboratory classes thru online is really a challange for us teacher and even more to students. But it really makes me want to do more and find a way to help them experience and understand the topic and task. Specially if you will hear from them that they are learning, gaining something that they can use in the future.

Being Responsive Matters

2022-06-21 05:23:56 UTC

I truly appreciate PHINMA's coming up with the Student Success Program. It's one unique program that really paves the way to students' achieving success in life and I am grateful to be part of it. It's the best way to respond to students need for attention and guidance so that they could surely stay in college and graduate on time.

As an adviser, I am able to live out my personal advocacy of helping other people to make their lives better. Modesty aside, I have been receiving a lot of "thank you", "God bless you Ma'am!", "thank you for your immediate response Ma'am", "I'm so blessed that you're my adviser", and other touching messages that inspire me to become a better teacher/adviser. The bottom line is, being responsive to them makes them hold on to their dreams because they know that their teachers/advisers care for them.

Listening to a role model

2022-06-21 05:52:38 UTC

It was more or less 7 years ago when I invited a 2nd student in my SSP class to talk about his freshman experiences. He never hesitated to share his struggles on how he survived his 1st year college being a self-supporting student. He is actually a product of a broken family. He was just living with his grandparents who were already in their old age. My students couldn't hold their tears while listening to their role model. They were able to realize how lucky they are.

"HOW SSP SAVED A STUDENT'S LIFE"

2022-06-21 06:01:28 UTC

I was reading my SSP students' weekly journal when I found out that one of my students is having a depression. She also mentioned that she was slashing her wrist and does not have a proper support system, without anyone for her to open up to. After reading it, I immediately picked up my phone to send her a message through Messenger and told her that help is always available if ever she need it. I have also tapped the CSDL for their assistance, particularly for counselling of the said student. After reflecting on that experience, I asked myself what might have happened, had I read her journal at a later time.

While advising in SSP. Even if it is not under my department, I still managed to help them in their concerns. These words from the students keeps me motivated in working and teaching: "Thank you sir! Ano na lang sir kong wala ka?"

SSP Story

2022-06-21 06:27:46 UTC

SSP is a student-teacher connection. On my part, it is more like consultation, advising, updates, and collaboration. Connection not just academically but also student personal concern, guidance and stories to tell.
Students have many stories that can give you ideas of how they cope up with life of being a student and as a person through their families and classmates.
SPP is a bridge, light, word of wisdom and encouragement to students....

What is your SSP story?

2022-06-21 06:32:17 UTC

When I checked the names of my students who passed the board examinations and now have a job, I said for the first time that I am one of the persons who has better the lives of my students through education. I recall those students approaching me during my consultation hours and requesting that I tutor them for their lessons. They were having difficulties with their studies but they were able to overcome it and are now engineers.

Hello SSP

2022-06-21 06:36:55 UTC

With SSP you can be more directly connected to your students because of success ladder concepts and discussions to be made. It also challenging due to exceeding time and effort for consultation and other matters.
but at the end of the discussion, you will see your student status in life as a student, son/daughter in a family, and working students in real-life situations that we will learn as well.

SSP STORY

2022-06-21 06:40:14 UTC

When I asked of one my students how she thinks our SSP class helped them during their fresmen year, this was her response….

“ For me po, parang it makes you feel included. Na you're part of a family na makakasama mo and magiging katulungan mo sa journey mo as a college student. The ones who will hear you and try to understand. Nakakabuild din po ng confidence kapag alam mong may solid na support system ka.”

SSP Experiences and stories

2022-06-21 06:41:30 UTC

One of the benefits of being a mentor is the influx of fresh ideas from your mentee. Your colleague will inject new energy into your classes. Don’t feel threatened, as new approaches revitalize what you already do well. A new perspective helps you imagine different possibilities.

Apply the “yes, and…” rule of improvisational comedy when brainstorming and planning with your mentee. In order to keep an improv comedy scene moving, comedians say “yes, and…” to their partner for every suggestion they propose. In the mentor/mentee relationship the “yes, and…” rule should be applied as follows: Want to try a new group activity? Yes, and… Want to incorporate informal presentations into the lesson to check for understanding? Yes, and… Want to randomly select student groups during class? Yes, and...

The improv rule keeps the creativity flowing from your mentee. Don’t shoot anything down in the planning stages. Priority number one is uncovering these ideas. Then take the next step and validate your colleague’s contributions. Become a cheerleader. Encourage. Together, collate the list from the brainstorming process. Next, provide your mentee with a voice. In tandem, uncover the most attractive idea; the one that keeps things interesting and has the most potential to match your course objectives.

SSP STORY

2022-06-21 06:47:38 UTC

It was an afternoon where I can say that most of them felt that they needed to change for themselves and for their families. Mentoring and monitoring was a big part of the process where they can express themselves and reflect on what they need to think about, which in the long run gave them that boost they need to accomplish everything.

MAKING LIVES EXTRA BETTER THROUGH EDUCATION

2022-06-21 06:52:31 UTC

I would like to call the SSP experience as an "EXTRA" experience. I could not forget the day when I discussed all about the Role Modelling session. That day felt ordinary and dry at first but I had to push through. So after a few introduction and routine activities, I said “Create a group with 5 members in it and this time, you have to think of a difficulty you had to go thru and share it with your group. Tell us how you overcame this and what you did…” And there, all the “extras” started.

As I walked around the room, each person has an extra ear to listen well to what others said, an extra handkerchief and an extra hand to wipe off the tears of other’s cheek, an extra heart to show love for classmates who were undergoing trials, and most of all when they were able to pick a role model of their own within the room and had these models share their own struggles of (1) financial difficulty; (2) worst academic records of the past; (3) personal failures of teenage pregnancy and vices; (4) stories of unconventional family set-ups; (5) deaths of dreams and love and many more, each one was given a pat on the back, an embrace, words of encouragement, offer of help, each one found an EXTRA FAMILY, a spare mother/father/sibling in the form of a classmate. Each one has a take home of his and her own extra patience, understanding, love and hope for others.

In the middle of the sharing, a compelling force from within made me ask a question: “After some of the stories you heard, what did you realize?”

An unexpected response blurted out of the mouth of a student which after he muttered, was followed with a loud “Yes!” from his classmates: “Dito namin sa SSP ma’am, napupunan kahit papano ang mga kakulangan na nararamdaman namin”.

And I held back the tears of joy and pain. I needed to remind myself to look professional and calm, even if in my heart, I knew that I was given an extra special opportunity of being these extra special students’ adviser.

But what’s important is I know that the “kakulangan”, that gap was somehow filled with whatever extra was given and gained in that room that day. And I left that room with whispering "Truly, I can make lives extra better through education". :)

Pre-pandemic SSP

2022-06-21 07:02:30 UTC

2 years has been passed since the pandemic begun, luckily I was able to handle ssp during pre-pandemic period.

Seeing these little bunch of students continuing to pursue their dreams even struggling is worth saying "I am making lives better through education".

Ssp Storyy

2022-06-21 07:02:43 UTC

Being a teacher is not only to teache our subject matter, but also teach students in the reality of life. My SSP story is when I am with the students I let them feel that I am not just a teacher but also a friend that can be trusted on. Can be their ears and shoulder to cry on in times of need. And for me, SSP time is one of the subject that is essential because in this subject we can teach, encoutand motivate our students to be more focus in their goal. To be successful. And also this way, we can guarantee also that we make lives better through education.

SSP Story: "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-06-21 07:15:44 UTC

SSP is formation course wherein it is an opportunity for us teachers to provide constant guidance to our students how to deal with different adversities while aiming for their goals in life.

Thus, SSP course is a venue where teachers' actualize the institution’s mission of making lives better through education.

2022-06-21 07:36:42 UTC

Hearing various stories in the classroom will cause you to reflect on your role as a teacher. It is our responsibility to know more about our pupils than just their names.

2022-06-21 07:37:25 UTC

TEACHER CHANGE LIVES

I realize that it is not always easy to change a student’s life, which is why it takes a great teacher to do so. Some just need an extra push like the student whose math grade is just a few points shy from the passing grade; others may be going through something troubling in their personal lives and need someone to talk to. Whatever the student needs to help them excel, a life-changing teacher will be there for them.

I can gear up to help students to understand knowledge and concepts outside the textbook. More interaction with the students with viable, real-life examples, incidents, etc, students will have a better understanding and more awareness of the subject. With real-life examples, they can apply their lessons to many subjects. I have to be a consistent guide here to help the student in graduating from one lesson to another.

SSP allows me to get to know my students on a deeper level. I was not just their instructor, but also someone they could trust and depend on. It was a good opportunity to somehow relate my previous life experiences so that they could gain ideas on how to deal with whatever issues they may face, particularly as students. SSP gives a safe environment for students to express themselves, which is very important in today's society where we must take care of our mental health.

2022-06-21 07:47:21 UTC

Given the different and challenging learning situation we are all experiencing now, students will really appreciate when the teacher asks, how they are doing. I always visit our SSP GCR and post encouraging quotes and reminders for them to read and reflect.

A Story from a nonSSP teacher

2022-06-21 08:00:54 UTC

I did not have a chance of handling an NSTP/SSP subject or advisory but I definitely have stories to share of making the lives of students better through education.
I have been handling major subjects since we started offering the course in 2002. Through the years, I have felt and somehow understood their situations of all shapes and levels based on their story sharing with me. The Kumustahan has always been a part of our routine in class and giving them guidance and advice goes with it. In most cases, part of me is affected by their circumstances and the easiest way I could possibly be of help for them is to dole out financial aid to tide them over the weekend , month or even a semester. Yes, I have been sponsoring students for their tuition other than their weekly allowances and stuff. And these give me joy especially when I see them march during graduation.

My SSP Story

2022-06-21 08:29:05 UTC

As an SSP adviser I consider it my responsibility to guide my students in their journey of becoming successful engineers. Through Student Success Program I was able to inspire, encourage and help them achieve their dreams. It is also an avenue where they can vent out their life stories and problems

SSP Story: Making my students' lives better

2022-06-21 08:33:48 UTC

As an SSP adviser, I learned how to be a good listener more than being a lecturer. Our students are carrying their own baggages and they need someone they can confide to. I often guided them to entrust everything to the LORD JESUS who never fail to guide and provide a way out. I also shared with them my personal struggles and challenges and victories in my spiritual walk with GOD.

assotelo — 2022-06-21 08:34:41 UTC

It is always my goal as a teacher to encourage students to continue their studies in PHINMA institutions despite the obstacles they face. As a facilitator of learning through the SSP program, I've heard several heartfelt stories from my students, the majority of which were caused by financial constraints, academic struggles (especially if it was their first time with RAD Learning), and relationship issues with their parents and loved ones, all of which led to sadness and eventually depression.

My constant monitoring through individual and collaborative outputs, checking the information they provided in Google forms, meeting them via Google Meet, and conducting individual calls appear to be effective ways for students to feel that their SSP adviser is genuinely interested in assisting them with their studies. In this manner, students are inspired to pursue their goals in life.

SSP STORY

As I've never experienced this subject to teach, based on my observation SSP help students in every area of their lives not just in academe. So that they can be more competitive in achieving their dreams and boosted to be more motivated as other areas are being addressed.

Handling SSP leads us to realize the stories of our students and how teachers play their roles in helpiong them achieve their goals. Indeed it is something we need to extend in #MakingLivesBetterThroughEducation.

1st ever SSP Class

2022-06-21 08:55:35 UTC

This is a monumental picture for me. Some students who are in the picture graduated this year. I just hope that those who did not graduate on time will still continue to pursue their chosen course. I am praying for the success of everyone.

Being an SSP adviser is one great job of being a teacher ! It serves as a bridge between the teacher and the students , in airing their different concerns pertaining to their studies.

Just by simply letting your students feel that you are there for them is one great help . Believing in them and motivating them to continue pursuing their dreams is one big factor for them to continue reaching out their dreams . Knowing that there is somebody who belives in them ....

SSP STORY

apzuluetaup — 2022-06-21 08:58:39 UTC

As a first time to handle SSP, my students concerns are mostly about their grades and how frustrated they are in their exams. SSP gave this opportunity to let their frustration out. Each of them had different story to tell, and as an adviser, we must guide them, give them advices they needed to hear, words they wanted to hear, and we listen to them. And later on, you will hear their laughs that are full of hope and potential.

bridging the gap

2022-06-21 09:03:33 UTC

Not all students feel at ease when grouped, there are those who are not even comfortable sharing with their teacher regarding varied school and personal concerns. Thru SSP classes I realized that this give an avenue for them to be open and by bridging the so called "gap" and in that way students will be able to share their concerns that helps them grow and move forward in their learning.

SSP is the most effective way in helping our students to reach their goals in life, through SSP you can monitor them ang help them in their problems as a student .

I'm hired 5 months ago, This is my first time to handle SSP as a teacher is a great responsibility to guide my students in their journey of becoming successful nurses. Based on my 15 years experience in clinical area. I can share my knowledge to my students during their clinical practice training in the hospital.

Making a difference, one step at a time.

2022-06-21 11:01:58 UTC

Diving into the big ocean of being an educator, it is quite mind boggling and overwhelming. To always be on top of your game, be your best so you can be the best to your students is quite a status/impression to make. But, as I go one with my day preparing everything we need before the class proper starts for the new school year, i believe that we can make a difference in our students' life if we commit ourselves to the task at hand 100%. And when we do this, we can make a difference, small difference, day by day, little by little.

2022-06-21 12:04:07 UTC

Students are able to share their concerns and challenges in the SSP classes. Thus, these are readily addressed and resolved.

In my 3 years of service,I haven't handled SSP Subject. As a teacher, I always asked this question to my students "How are you today?I make sure that they are all okay before I will start my discussions or we will start our hospital duty.

I don’t handle any SSP classes but my heart is full of fulfillment whenever I give pieces of advice to students about how to improve their studies, balance life, and motivate them to achieve and aim their not just their diplomas but their licenses. With my 25 years in teaching, I have heard thousands of stories coming from students which have molded them into professional nurses. Student success programs don’t only help students realize their dreams and potential but allow everyone one of us to value the importance of planning, dedication, and making an action to make everyone’s life better.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-06-21 14:13:27 UTC

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!" These are words I can say that are challenging but fulfilling. Challenging because students are sometimes timid and are not easy to voice out their feelings. However, fulfilling because once you try to spell them out and reach out to their feelings and concerns, students are willing to confess their struggles and some students who would reach out to you and ask for advice and so on which makes me feel that I am fulfilling my duty as their instructor and step by step reaching out their goal.

"Indeed, I Can Make Lives Better Through Education!"
As an SSP adviser, I learned a lot from our "Kmustahan" sessions that as a teacher you need to be a good listener, adviser and a good role model, to gain your students trust. Use a positive reinforcememt to build students confidence to study harder to achieve their ambitions/ dreams in life. Reward their strength and strenghten their weaknesses by telling own life story and give word of encouragements to students, most especially students who are struggling.

Making Lives Better Through Education

2022-06-21 15:08:33 UTC

Being a teacher is not limited to teaching concepts and giving grades to our students. My work is far more than that- it involves compassion and love for my students. My goal is not just to let students graduate, but to make sure that I have prepared them for the real battle of life.

2022-06-22 00:00:23 UTC

I’ve been a teacher for 7 years now and seeing my students graduate and have a stable career made me happy to be part of their success. Knowing your students being grateful for the things you have done is an achievement for you as a teacher.

Making lives better through education

2022-06-22 00:26:46 UTC

I was never given the chance to handle SSP subjects in any class. But it was no reason for me to not be able to attend to my students concerns and problems.
In every subjects that I handle, I made sure that I build a trusting relationship towards my class so they could be comfortable enough to share their thoughts, ideas and concerns. This allow me to empathize to them and make a way to help them bridge whatever gaps they are into. Indeed, there is no such little things that will not help in making our students lives better. Everything matters.

SSP

2022-06-22 01:53:04 UTC

Every time I'm given any SSP subject to handle, I'd always make sure to incorporate my teacher/nanay self. Maybe because in SSP, there were students who are asking for my advices and such.. I believe being a teacher does not only mean that you're just gonna impart knowledge in your students. It also involves motivating, honing and building them with your whole heart. <3

2022-06-22 02:19:46 UTC

My SSP experience is somewhat colorful. It's like walking through a prism of colors. Each color that I encounter represents each student and the stories that they've shared with me wholeheartedly. And in each color, there's always learning that comes with it.

Through SSP, we are able to touch our students' hearts. We are able to show them that we truly care for them, that we want nothing but the best for them. And the best part of being an SSP adviser is when you see how your students apply what they learn from you. When there's a change in their life views and actions.

It's really fulfilling to see how the students grow and move towards the right direction. And their words, from "Sir, Paano po ito?" to "Sir, nakaya ko po!", "Sir, Salamat po!" are those things that keeps us inspired and motivated.

2022-06-22 02:23:21 UTC

I handled SSP subject once and I realized that I don't only teach the theory/lectures written on the books/modules but also be part of the lives of my students. Hearing their personal happy stories, and even their difficulties and family problems. They consider me as their mother and they are all my children. Their success is also my success!

SSP

2022-06-22 02:36:47 UTC

For some, handling this group of learners has been a challenge since they have the mindset of being strong individually and as a group.

Being their SSP adviser for two semesters and able to build a strong bind and considered each one as a family is a blessing. I was able to listen to their stories. Hearing the lines like, " Sir, may problema ako.", "Pwede ko ka share, sir?", Sir, may concern ako..." was a music to my ear because I felt the trust and love they have for me as their Tatay inside the classroom. Everytime we have our SSP session, we as a family, support each other and open each student's concern from ACADEMICS to family and a little of their personal lives. I was able to know each one of them and get connected to their respective parents and guardian easily because of the trust and love that we share inside the classroom. With that, I was able to take part in their decision to continue their dreams and aspirations in this university. Now, they are moving forward as they continue to become future Criminologists of the country. 🤍

My SSP Story

It was my first time to be a SSP adviser and I can say that sometimes I am really surprised if I call randomly some of the students dyring our Kumustahan Session and suddenly they will open up and cry. So what I do during our sessions is to divide the class into 4 groups and meet them by group and ask them about their concerns (financial, academic and personal). If I can sense that he or she is just shy to tell the group about his or her problem, this is the time I have to call this student. And I am sometimes surprised if the student will open up and cry. In every situation, I will try my best to counsel my students and refer them to proper channels that will help them properly. As a teacher, I am happy and blessed that I can be a listener and a shoulder to cry on by my students.

My SSP Story

2022-06-22 02:59:55 UTC

I have had the chance to handle SSP pre pandemic and for me (at first) SSP was draining. You need to listen to the struggles of each of the students, checking up on them with their personal and academic lives. I have heard, many personal struggles of the students which may eventually affect their academics. During the pandemic, I used a tool called "Kokology". These are simple stories which guage personal choices. Of course, I twisted some of it just so students could relate. They made their diary, since not all of them are open verbally. Some are sharing what they really feel through writing. That is how I would know, What their struggles are. There were times when they were open about their struggle academically so I could find a way to aid them. For me, this is how I make their lives better through education.

This pandemic creates numerous experiences. First, how can I ensure that the learning is genuine? How can I make my classroom more interactive? and what strategies should I employ to address those various circumstances? thanks to Google's new strategy, all remote learning issues have been resolved. These are examples of student outcomes. 1. Students are aware of their sense of accountability. Due to a deadline or time constraint. 2. Students are innovative in how they present their work and adapt well to new experiences.

Being an SSP adviser gave me the opportunity to build a better relationship with my students. This subject provided an avenue for both teachers and students to share not only concerns but students' aspirations in life, their goal and what they want to be in the near future. Seeing my students become who they want to be and how I somehow contributed to that success made me realize...indeed, I was part in making my students' lives better. It was really a fulfillment.

I endorsed a lot of students (StARs) to the CSDL for student loans, HK scholarship, guidance and counseling. I think I'm part of the school's achievement in reducing students without exam permits - hence the decrease in the StARs index.

Most of them are answering my queries and listening to my advises.
I motivated them so that they will not stop reaching for the realization of their goals in life.

Student Success Programs is one of the most special program that makes the student feel love and important and the only program in which you can see that no one is left behind.
Kumustahan and Mentoring is always the top Activity that we always use to communicate and deal with them in the midst of pandemic. These gives us a chance to know our students even better and to give appropriate advice, feedback, instructions and differentiated strategies to encourage them to give their best.

SSP STORY

2022-06-22 05:02:53 UTC

Student success refers to how well students are equipped to achieve their current and future academic, personal, and professional goals by gaining knowledge, developing a feeling of responsibility and self-reliance, and maintaining a connection to the institution and wider community.

I make sure to schedule individual interactions with each student in my SSP class. It provides kids with their own unique anecdotes in addition to academic subjects. I can better comprehend my students if I am aware of their histories.

When a student doesn't pass an assignment, they may be afraid to tell the teacher why, and occasionally they may be unable to attend class because of personal issues with their families or their romantic relationships. We must lead them because of the destruction of numerous items, such as devices, this is a risk for our students nowadays.

My experience in SSP is that work hard and be determine of what you're aiming for.. ,since SUCCESS is a CHOICE not a CHANCE.. better work for it to reach out your goal..

2022-06-22 05:04:50 UTC

Student success for me is not just about graduating on time or finishing your course. Student success is when the students really learn not just academically but also learning more about life with their different experiences at school.

"Good Teachers knows how to bring out the best in Students"

Teaching is one of our major job as a teachers. But as we expound more, dig deeper, do more and love what we do; we can do something out of the word teaching. SSP helps me to understand the different types of students in my class, appreciate their effort, message them one by one, find the missing student, collaborate with their parents and tried to put myself in their situation. Overall, I have learned also to give considerations to them as we face different struggles and battles in our daily living.

From time to time, we produce topnotcher/s in the licensure examinations. But equally important is helping out students also who had tough time during college. Some will have to re-enroll a course twice or thrice and our job is to make sure they earn the knowledge and skills before they get promoted. Yes, I am a nurse by profession, but teaching is my vocation. Taking a look at these kids who have recently become RNs makes me elated. They might had a tough time earning their degree, and every now and then, students will say, we give difficult exams, challenging exams. But we have to make sure, they can be able to spread their wings when we wean them after graduation. When they pause for a while, send messages of gratefulness as they become healthcare frontliners, humility aside, I can say, I really am part of this, I praise God, I contribute in making lives better through education.

But then I had the opportunity to meet my upper year students and hear their stories and struggles throughout the pandemic. When they want someone to listen to their problems and all, I introduce myself not only as a teacher but also as a friend. So, as a team, we did make a good company throughout the semester.

2022-06-22 09:10:16 UTC

I have handled ssp class for the 2 semesters and I always use this photo to my students. SSP is a good chance to communicate our student in a deeper level. They can express their thoughts not just academically but in all aspect of their lives. These students appreciate teachers who can listen to them. At the end of it, as an educator, we aim that our students shall face life/ reality as a whole better person through education.

SSP Story

2022-06-22 10:47:37 UTC

Before the pandemic, students would line up for a one on one talk with us teachers.

It was during these times that we would hear about their sentiments and challenges in adjusting to university life, especially moving to the city and living away from family. Most of them would cry but appreciate that they are being heard.

This was very taxing for teachers because it could get overwhelming but at that time we saw the value of doing this activity.

Not just SSP

I cannot hold the students expectations that we do not set. So, it is the greatest privilegde to be a their "somebuddy" who feels they have nobody.

My Journey as an SSP Adviser

2022-06-22 19:44:36 UTC

Before I got connected with SWU PHINMA, I was a high school teacher in one of the premiere schools here in the city for 5 years. I could say that I was an effective high school teacher - handling my subjects and being a homeroom adviser. Upon starting my journey in SWU PHINMA in CAS, I was hoping that I would not just teach subjects relating to my field, but also handle classes as an adviser. I thought it was impossible since that's not how the cookie crumbles in college teaching... not until PHINMA Education gave birth to Student Success Program.

With SSP, I regained my role as a surrogate father or brother again. Just like any parent or adult in the family, I love how these young ones reach their dreams and become successful under my care and supervision. Conclusively, a lot of my SSP students' testimonials highlight their message of gratitude. It is heartwarming and overwhelming. I also like how students would share their a slice of their personal life with me, asking for help and wisdom. SSP is really a gamechanger not just for the students, but also for the advisers. Truly, I can say that this is how I can change lives through education.

The Adviser

2022-06-23 00:34:24 UTC

Seeing their grades with no failure after the end of a semester makes me feel good. Though some fail in one or two of their subjects, I still encourage them to go on and seeing them again the next semester, still, for me, is a success for my students for being brave and still hopeful to continue in spite the failure from the previous semester. I gave them tips how to not fail again.

A lyrics from Jessie J's song, Flashlight. During my first semester in the University, I tend to think what's the main objective of SSP. What's its purpose? Then, eventually, I realized it is the light of the students in this dark brought by the pandemic. In the times where they doesn't know whom to ask, approach, and lean on, there's an ADVISER to guide and lend hands for them. SSP Advisers are people giving them hope and a chance to be heard.
One time, it made me say, "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!" when no matter how difficult the situation is, I encouraged my students to enroll on the Singapore D' Hospitality International Certification, because it will be their edge on the stiff competition of industry. And most of them enrolled with the Program and they are exceling. Can't wait to see them onboard very soon!

Extrinsic metrics such as scores and grades have become the markers of success in school. In education, resilience is one of the primary drivers of success. Success is not always guaranteed. Learning to keep moving forward when faced with failures is not easy, but it’s a key component to gaining confidence, personal growth, and success in lifelong learning.

Personally, I believe what the Bible says about success. It defines success in terms of what matters most and ends in peace and joy with our Lord.

Any degree of victory or success we achieve is attributable to the grace of God working in us for our good and His glory. Love peace and joy are perhaps the best way to define student success. If one would seek God and His kingdom first, positive financial and career stability, awards and earthly recognitions will follow.

I dont have SSP class but I do advising and monitoring students from their other major subjects. We do kumustahan before starting the class and sharing memorable life experiences. By doing that, we became more closer and comfortable talking to each other. I believe that's how to start building strong foundation of good relationship between a teacher and student.

Through my SSP subject, I have come to realize that teaching is not just about sharing your skills to your student but rather it must be accompanied by passion and compassion. With this subject, i was able to understand them better and in another perspective. With our short kumustahan, they can feel that they have someone to go to and to talk to which i believe has a big contribution in their success.

I have this 1st year student of mine she suffered and injury and I can see in her post that she is having difficult time. I am really sad because she is just beginning her journey and is already depressed. I encouraged and talk to her until she made it to the 2nd sem.

Small things matter!

my SSP story

2022-06-23 06:58:55 UTC

In my SSP classes, I enjoyed chatting with my students.... am happy to hear and know their experiences and I further appreciate their openness in expressing their concerns... may it be in academic, personal and financial aspects. I thank GOD that I was given the opportunity to act as my students’ elder sister/mother in dealing with their concerns as students.... AND so happy that they embrace the challenges in life, thus, they long to finish their studies to MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER.

Making lives better through education

2022-06-23 07:58:49 UTC

I started teaching in AU way back in 2020 when the covid-19 pandemic started. It made me realize many things such as should I continue teaching? or should I just take a vacation and never go to work until the pandemic is over. Maybe because I am doubting myself if I will still be an effective teacher given the situation that there are no face-to-face classes. I was trained to teach in a face-to-face class inside classrooms and never did I imagined to be locked and doing distance learning. These are some of the things that bother me up until today. Despite the fear of going outside, the passion for teaching and the need to work pushed me to still continue the calling of the teaching profession.

Student Success Program class is one of my favorites and it becomes my peace and quiet time. After a long day of class and paperwork, ssp is my rest. This is an avenue where I get to know more of my students, get to know more of their stories, and be connected to where they are coming from and it inspires me as well as their teacher. Also, it is a way for our students to be more of themselves and serve as a safe space for them. They also have a story, a story that must be heard, a story that inspires others. To me, if there’s someone being inspired by the story of others then I consider it a success story of mine. It will be more than a success for me. I enjoy our class because I was also able to share my life story, my learnings in life, and many more. I got to be involved in their life and as their teacher, I made sure that our ssp class was being used effectively for making them realize that education is really important and to remind them that they’re doing great. I will continue to encourage, inspire and motivate my students to become more and better.

I have learned that education is not just about what we learn in class. It is about how we can be better in life and how we can help others. It is about the impact we can make in our society, in our world, and the greater good we can achieve. It has also taught me that education is not just about being inside a classroom, it is about being connected to others, being inspired, and being a good listener.

SSP EXPERIENCE

2022-06-23 08:11:57 UTC

I have learned that we need to understand the situations of our students. They need someone to listen to them. Most of the student are easy to get stress and they are very emotional. They need an emotional support and deeper understanding.

"Making Lives Better through Education"
As a proud alumna of our very own university, I am a living proof that the quality education I have received made my life and my family much better. I am the first in the family who went and finish college. When I accomplished it, the education and the experiences helped me to land in my dream job-to become a teacher. I am now helping our family especially my father who is the sole provider for our family way back then.

What is your SSP Story?

2022-06-23 10:31:31 UTC

Even though we are on a virtual class, I can say that I still manage to develop safe, positive and productive learning environments where all students are encouraged to participate. Thru SSP students can motivate and inspire each other. They can share lesson take away not just with their buddy but to their entire class. I believe that enabling peer support can be started to pairing them and eventually stretching their social learning within the class. I believe that strengthening peer support is to develop interaction/collaboration among them and eradicating negative competition will support good learning among students.

As an adviser, thru SSP, I get the chance to know that some students suffer from anxiety, depression and difficulties during our Kamustahan Sessions. As a teacher, we must let them feel that they are highly appreciated and we should at least try not to be part/reason of their anxieties. A simple “Kamusta kayo?” “KAYA NIYO YAN!" will let them feel that they are not alone. During this pandemic they should feel that our commitment to their education remains strong. As a teacher we must motivate them in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities. We should also motivate them in setting their priority management to develop their proper mindset most especially since a lot of students in social media affect someone’s way of thinking and even build some perception that fosters negativities throughout the mind of students. As a teacher since we are now in a new-normal way of teaching and we can’t guide our students personally, we should at least let them feel that we are still here guiding them and boosting their inner abilities at most. We shouldn’t let them feel na kalaban nila tayo sa battle nilang ito instead we should make them feel that we are happy even in small things that they achieved, we should not restrict ourselves in praising the achievements of our dear students. Let them feel that they are loved.

In Basic Education we do the “kamustahan”. I handled two class advisories in JHS. I am a bit awed sa kanilang tugon. A mixture of admiration and pity. I even cried, buti nalang online, I immediately turned off my camera. Since then, I have the luxury to “kamusta" them, especially the problematic students. Some of them, I relayed the concern to their parents/guardian. Others wanted to keep it by themselves, so I respect their decisions. Last 18th of June, they made their way upstage, receiving the diploma. I am extremely elated on the fact that all students under my advisory was able to move up. Most of them wanted to have a picture with me. Their parents tagged along with them and uttered “thank kaayo Ma’am Inz sa help, na because of your guidance nakahuman raning akong badlungon nga anak/igsoon”. Such a dear statements which my heart fluttered. I am close to tears as I see them beam with a smile while holding the diploma. In my evil thoughts, “what if hindi siya nagabayan?”, “what if hinayaan ko nalang itong bata na umabsent ng umabsent?”. PHINMA helps me also to become a more responsible teacher. To uphold my commitment as a teacher. Huwag pabayaan ang mga mag-aaral. Hawak din natin ang kanilang future. Better to help na mayroon silang kamay na makakapitan. It is the steadfastness of PHNMA people that make the lives of the student better through education.

One of the kamustahan. I missed them already ;)

SSP Experience

2022-06-23 14:56:36 UTC

Sharing my experiences in life makes them inspired and able to push through their studies. And sharing their own experiences helps me too in facing every challenges in life.

SSP Experience.

2022-06-23 14:58:48 UTC

I'm here at Phinma UPang because i wan to share my experiences in life. in order to inspire them every story i've shared.

My SSP Story

2022-06-23 15:10:40 UTC

I guess the most memorable part of handling SSP is getting to know your students beyond the surface level. They will let you in on their secrets, their fears, their hope for the future, their plans, and even the things that they do not even tell anyone but themselves.

I had this one student, who is working as a call center agent at night while juggling studies during the day. This just shows that no matter what, our students will go through many highs and lows because they believe in education, and this inspired me to be there for them every step of the way.

My SSP Story

2022-06-23 15:22:37 UTC

During the pandemic one of the most important thing to do by teachers is to connect with their students and this is quite challenging because of our new normal approach but SSP is very helpful when it comes to connecting with our students. In my experience SSP helps me to identify the challenges my students encounter in terms of academic and sometimes their personal problems. I also able to see how my students work hard to reach their dreams and how they push themselves to make their lives better and they use education as their armor just like what PHINMA AU thought them.

The pandemic has brought the academe to a challenging situation. Since many of our students live in far places, there is either unstable connection or no signal at all. Hence, it is difficult for us to reach out, but we still manage to hear stories of our students. Personally, my students thank me for reaching out to them and talk or do "Kamustahan" with them because most of them are timid to open up their concerns. Through our M&M, they are able to express their sentiments. They also found a friend in me who is willing to listen to them without any judgement. I remember one student saying "Ma'am, nag enroll ako sa college kay gusto ko guid makatapos sang pag iskwela. Na experience ko paano mang arado sa amon uma kag tam-an guid kabudlay. Amo na tinguhaan ko guid nga makatapos ako sa akon pag eskwela." His story is just one of the many stories of our PHINMA Ed students. They share the same situation - they all want to finish their studies no matter what. So having M&M with is the best way to know where our students are coming from. As an SSP adviser, I feel elated whenever my students would say "Ma'am na appreciate ko guid ang imo pagpangamusta." Simple gesture, but it means a lot to them.

2022-06-24 01:06:35 UTC

2022-06-24 01:23:35 UTC

Since I am handling CRIM students sem after sem, I always inculcate in them the value of DISCIPLINE. I emphasized to them that everything will just follow if a person has a sense of DISCIPLINE. With this, I strictly implement in my classes the DUE DATE of SAS, quiz and even major exams. In this regard, my students will gradually develop the value of SELF-DISCIPLINE.

2022-06-24 01:37:44 UTC

As an adviser, reaching out to our students is one of our many tasks. Understanding them and making them feel that they are not alone in this journey, most especially the struggling ones. There are reasons why students behave in ways that we initially don't understand but when we talk to them, we discover deeper thoughts and struggles and we help them through communication. That's the most meaningful part of being an adviser.

2022-06-24 01:45:34 UTC

In my SSP classes, i can say that i can make their lives better through education by encouraging them to finish their studies and reach their goal, to be globally competetive in their journey.

MAKING LIVES BETTER ONE AT A TIME!

2022-06-24 01:48:40 UTC

During my first year of teaching here in Phinma AU, I was idealistic. I had high standards, making it difficult for my students to fulfill what I wanted them to do. Little by little I learned to compromise for the welfare of my students. In my second year of teaching I have this section where I discussed my lesson with all and do small group if not individual tutoring at the same time. Chemistry is hard that’s for sure, but the fruit of this small act is sweet as all of them pass my subject. Years later, during the pandemic, where community lockdowns were in place, students' hardship doubled if not tripled. Here is when I realized that a simple act of compassion means a lot to them. I had this one student who always replied to my story or message me out of nowhere to say he salute me for being the teacher I am during his face-to-face class, and hoped I am their teacher this pandemic. He said “Sir namiss nanamin kayo maging teacher. sana kayo nalang maging teacher Namin sa lahat😢”. The reason behind his chat is that there are teachers according to him who are even in a little way not extend help to them.

That is when I realized I change lives in my own simple way.

SSP Story Students Success Program is one of the best avenue to know my students better. It connects the the mind and heart of the teacher and the students. Hearing different stories from them not only academic issues and even personal builds openness and the bridge the gap to help the students to continue and be strong to the problems and challenges they are experiencing. I'm happy and feeling fulfilled every time I see my students moving on despite so many challenges. I love SSP

SSP Story

2022-06-24 01:59:40 UTC

As SSP teacher, I always motivate and inspire students to achieve greater heights. Make them reflect on what their parents done for them to be a better individual. Also, with SSP I can get a chance to do "Kamustahan session" and hear the most hidden life stories of the students.

Thus, PHINMA legacy of making lives better through education has been always their top priority.

2022-06-24 02:01:55 UTC

In my experience as an SSP adviser, it is also our responsibility to connect them in all the activities of our school. Encourage them to socialize and be join in contest and events.

SSP Story

2022-06-24 02:41:02 UTC

Hearing the different problems my students have made me realize the importance of teachers reaching out to students. They have different problems with different levels of attention. That is why, it is very important to be sensitive to their needs, listen and give good advice. Thankfully, I was able to learn these things during our SSP classes and I hope that I will improve on giving advices and providing emotional support to my future students.

" Making lives better through education"
Being an SSP adviser was not easy, we were here to guide, inspire and motivate them to reach their dreams. Each student had her/his own struggle in life. M & M or the one-on-one talk helped ease their problems/worries knowing that somebody listened to their stories. I am proud and happy that I served and helped them succeed in their chosen endeavor.

SSP Story

galiwagswu — 2022-06-24 03:43:46 UTC

I had a student who was struggling so much with her academics mainly, because of the trauma and anxiety that she has been dealing with alone. The student informed me that she was doing well pre-pandemic because she had the constant support and companionship of her friends, who are always with her, but due to the quarantine restrictions of the pandemic, her coping mechanism (going out with friends and classmates) were taken away from her.

Fast forward, this student recently thanked me because she is now GRADUATING! Hooooray! She thanked me for taking the time to listen to her, for all the encouragements and for referring her to the school guidance counselor.

I could say, this is a proof that I am making lives better through education :)

SSP STORIES "Kamusta ka ga?"

2022-06-24 03:58:20 UTC

This pandemic was also my starting point in the teaching industry in PHINMA Education which was 1 year and 9 months today.

My first subject was SSP/Student Success Program this subject was advocating the students learning, engagement, and progress. This subject makes me eye-opening and to take action about the word "No Students Left behind". I love teaching this subject and sometimes makes me sentimental about the student's life stories and makes me realize that not all families have the capacity to send their children to college. Then those students do a part-time jobs and continue their studies and that is one reason that I am proud of my students because they did not give up even how hard and difficult to balance the work and academics. This is one step to make their lives better. :)

SSP Story

2022-06-24 04:02:21 UTC

As an SSP adviser, I’ve learned that my students lack self-confidence, independence, and being responsible. However, in those days that I was with them virtually, being open to one another really helped them develop their skills. With that, I was able to build a rapport and gave a profound consultation not just an adviser but also as a friend. 😊

M&M in SSP

2022-06-24 04:19:48 UTC

As SSP Adviser, I experienced on how to handle students who encountered different levels of struggles in financial, personal, academics and even spiritual. They tend to give-up sometimes but by duly mentoring and monitoring M&M we can recover those who are tagged as StAR or Student At Risk with proper addressing their concerns.

SSP Story

2022-06-24 04:26:28 UTC

I remember one of our session was sharing their stories about their struggles as a student and their family matters. One of my student cried while writing and sharing her story because she was in pain of their family problem. I just console her and advise her that no matter what happens, she will strive hard to finish her studies. Now she is graduating and i am happy and proud of what she achieved. I know that her parents and loved ones are so proud of her too.

SSP Story

2022-06-24 04:28:53 UTC

At first, I find it difficult to deal with my SSP students. But when I had heart to heart talked with some of them, I learned to appreciate and value each student in my class. I served as a second mother to them . They honestly shared to me their personal problems and fears.
It's really a blessing to have touched the lives of these individuals.

2022-06-24 04:39:32 UTC

Making lives better begins when students are given the opportunity, through the SSP class, to open up and acknowledge that they need help. Sessions about dreams and making them come true become more alive by the sharing of success stories. Tears and laughters inspire everyone not to miss any of the SSP session. This is just one of the subjects where students are not afraid to be what they really are.

My Story

2022-06-24 05:10:08 UTC

I have not experienced handling SSP subjects yet from my previous school years with PHINMA Education. However, I have one story I would like to share here regarding a student of mine from the last SY.

I have a student in RAD before who is very passionate in his culinary skills. I was able to provide him instructions thru remote instruction. It was a struggle for him, but with a little patience, he quickly grasped the skill needed.

Even if he is now in FLEX program, he still sends me updates regarding his progress and he still seeks my advice for academic related concerns.

2022-06-24 05:19:43 UTC

As an adviser, I always start in "Kamustahan" time. It is the first step for the students to feel that they belong in our class. Being a teacher is not easy, we need to have a long patience and an understanding heart for every students. In my SSP class I always make sure to have one on one "kamustahan", it helps students to tell their concerns in studies, financial even in their family problems to make them feel that they are not alone. As their adviser I always give them an advise and motivate them not to give up in every situation because education is very important in our lives.

SSP: A Haven towards Students' Success

2022-06-24 05:37:56 UTC

I am fortunate enough to be able to handle SSP classes and be the coordinator of the program for the longest time in our school. The program taught me a lot of lessons, gave many reflections, and endless opportunities to connect to our students, fellow advisers, and school leaders. The collaboration was meaningful that it predominantly helped the learners achieve their short-term goals in SHS and even their long-terms goals, gradually. Hence, with these things I can say that I am doing my part in making the lives of our students better.

Those moments that I am a part of and witnessed where students feel safe and freely express themselves in their SSP classes in sharing all their apprehensions, problems, aspirations, small and big sucesses are the things that seemed to be remarkable. I can say that these moments of embracing openness through sharing, reflecting, and learning in the SSP class are the ones that truly matter the most because for a time I am a part of them becoming better versions of themselves.

Indeed, SSP is a great equalizer. It is in the sense that though students are confronted with challenges, we have SSP that can help them overcome these challenges through us (teachers/advisers). It is also holistic and it is beyond teaching learners becoming academically good and emotionally smart. It is teaching learners to become successful.

I am really looking forward to see successes of our students through the help of SSP in the years to come.

SSP Pandemic Period

2022-06-24 06:33:35 UTC

I always assign my students an activity in NSTP wherein we all share helpful study skills/tips and relaxation techniques. I find these activities extremely helpful especially that some students continue to feel disoriented due to the online learning set-up we are using. Through these activities, students can learn from each others' experiences. Sometimes they feedback me that the activity helped them cope in their RAD Learning journey.

Student Success

jpbrionesswu — 2022-06-24 07:23:43 UTC

Having a better life by achieving success thru employment or thru business is one true measure of Student Success. By becoming the best version of yourself and acquiring the proper skills, knowledge and attitude necessary to succeed and prosper in your chosen industry is how student's success can be achieved...

They are successful.

2022-06-24 07:25:05 UTC

Indeed students are learning and grades are good in all their subjects. But success is associated with perseverance. Students interest to learn and dedication to work better will make them successfull.

2022-06-24 08:03:32 UTC

Student success program is a nice place for instructors and students to collaborate. This platform will allow both parties to communicate and at the same time work together to achieve specific goals. Through this student get the chance to share not only their challenges and struggles but at the same time their milestones. I can say that as a teacher its important to not only listen but also understand your students. In this way, we can help them develop their skills and achieve their goals in life.

An Opportunity to Know Your Students Better

rnescollarui — 2022-06-24 09:02:22 UTC

SSP gave us an opportunity to connect with our students. We are given a chance to listen and know their stories; their struggles and success.

I have known that most of them have common challenges. They have to work in a BPO at night and do their modules in the day. Hearing and knowing their stories, I had to to suggest to my fellow teachers to give consideration to these working students, extend their deadlines, and be more lenient.

I feel happy and proud whenever I see them enrolling for the next sem. Yes, they can and they will. As a teacher, I am always inspired to extend my help and be part of their success.

SSP STORY

2022-06-24 09:59:36 UTC

Touching life was a great opportunity that God gave us. In handling SSP subjects had great help and privileged to reach one’s lives. I had a student before who was struggling in balancing work and studies. Through the SSP program, I was able to connect to the student and the student was able to share her struggles in life. Social media was a good ladder to be able to talk to and advise the student. Encouraged her not to give up and continue her studies and that she should learn how to weigh things. Now she was able to adjust and she was able to balance her work and studies. As an adviser, I realized that our students need encouragement and motivation.

SSP Story

2022-06-24 11:30:45 UTC

As an SSP instructor, I've discovered that my students struggle with independence, responsibility, and self-discipline. Being honest with one another, though, significantly aided in their skill development during the times I was with them digitally. With the help of it, I was able to establish a connection and provide a profound counsel as both an adviser and a friend.

2022-06-24 11:59:40 UTC

Since it is my first time handling ssp subject there are a lot of adjustments and challenges that i have encountered. First, some of my students are not a reading the group chats where i put my instructions and announcements regarding school matters. Second, some of the students are having internet problems and therefore they cannot read the announcements given and some of them are not aware of what is happening in the school. So as an ssp adviser, i created an fb page wherein the students can is solis can the information given and sometimes if the students are unreachable in this social media platform that i am using i call their phone number so that their guardians or parents are well informed about school matters.

2022-06-24 12:21:26 UTC

SSP is like a tool guide on how to mold and guide our students during this difficult time. Through this we can communicate, connect and advise them how to cope life's challenges and trials.
It's challenging but rewarding seeing your students continue to learn and strive hard to achieve their goals. Indeed, I can make lives better through education.

SSP

2022-06-24 12:49:13 UTC

SSP is a great help for me and I guess for other teachers as well because it pushes us to facilitate, guide, motivate and mold our students. We have enough time to have a "Kumustahan" with them and it just feels so right to be able to give advices and inspire students to fight and never give up on their dreams. I am happy seeing my students moving forward despite of their problems. I will continue to support and encourage students.

Making lives better through education

2022-06-24 12:51:41 UTC

I am a newly hired teacher, I can define student success as being a student who has a passion in doing what he/she really want, enjoying every step along the way, seeing the difficulties as an opportunity to learn, grow and improve, positive mindset, faith and confidence that I can do this, and always remembering the reason why I am doing this and it is to uplift the lives of my family and help other people as well. Personally I experienced different trials during college like having a financial problems, lack of more resources, poverty, anxiety and breakdowns but it doesn't give me a reason to give up. Why? Because I have a great motivation and belief that education is a key to success. And indeed I can say that education is a key in making our lives better because I am now a professor and finally it enables me to support our everyday needs.

2022-06-24 14:01:27 UTC

Handling SSP subject is really fulfilling because it gives us the chance to connect with our students more. There was this one time during Role model module discussion, I asked them one by one to share who inspires them the most and they shared their answers, majority said family or parents and they told the whole class why, some students were crying and even I cried because it's So heart warming how they appreciate and look up to their parents.

My SSP Story

2022-06-24 14:25:17 UTC

SSP is one of the best programs to help the students in mentoring and monitoring their status not just in academics but as well into their daily lives.

As an educator, we are endowed with the power to inspire and affect the lives of our students to bring about a difference.

Simple Story

2022-06-24 23:40:07 UTC

I had one student who got INC in my class. She is graduating, married, her husband is a jeepney driver, and living more than 30 kilometers from Cagayan de Oro. This student enrolled 2 twice in my class but still the third time I can't give her a grade of at least 3.0. I know she was so frustrated with it and got so mad at me. But I can't just consider it because her course is a board course. What I did, was I talked to her and told her I can't just give her my 3.0. That she must remember at least how to find the midpoint, distance, and equation of a line. So I required her to see me twice a week for study sessions and quizzes. This lasted for almost a year. And before the Sy ended, at last, she got a 3.0 that made her complete her course, BEED. To my surprise, 7 months after graduation I saw her name in the list of LET passers. For me, this is so BIG success as a teacher.

To be given a chance to work with and among children - and children at heart - is itself both a blessing and a consolation. No one will be able to quantify the memories, happy moments, insights, learning that come just from interacting with our students. Such encounter - of Mentor and Learner/s - begets personal, unique, cherished stories; stories of which we are a part, of which AU is the stage, a narrative that will be passed on to others, as this was the story of how their lives become better.

SSP Story

2022-06-25 01:01:01 UTC

Being a teacher does not mean to teach within the four corners of the classroom. Rather, it's more of understansing students' diversity - their challenges, their strengths, their weaknesses, etc.

Being an adviser for almost 4 years, I happened to see and handle students who are very challenged - and after their SHS years - I am happy to see them working on their successes in life. And that they never forget me - that I have somehow contributed something on their success.

My SSP Story

2022-06-25 02:33:18 UTC

The very 1st school year during the pandemic was also my 1st school year as a teacher. Holding an SSP session virtually was very challenging since some students are still figuring out their best spots for better signal which made me decide to do a phone call instead individually to check on them, their situation, and their progress. Hearing their concerns and challenges, I was not surprised but I was a bit astounded to myself for being able to provide the suggestions, tips, and pieces of advice to my students and knowing that it worked.

2022-06-25 12:17:08 UTC

Handling SSP class during pandemic is very challenging because a lot of students encountered difficulty with their internet connection. During online learning, as a teacher I was able to improve more my ways of coping with students having difficultylearning by connecting and giving them proper guidance.

SSP STORY

2022-06-25 13:26:32 UTC

You cannot understand someone unless you put yourself in their situation - with SSP, I believe that my job is not just to facilitate a student's concern. I know that by this I am the bridge of ones dream towards ones success. In order to be of my purpose, I catered lots of students problem, that even untimely I tend to answer them, for sometimes we do not know the urgency of such problem that our only answer can solve them. By this practice I could establish rapport with my students and so I could be able to talk to them as their brother always willing to listen. I have also experienced being in conversation with a student on her family problem and by just listening could relieve her from feeling of hatred and emotional damage.

By words of unexplainable gratitude from a student is considered a success of my purpose in SSP.

My most unforgettable experience was during our Monitoring and Mentoring session, hearing some problems, thoughts, facts, reality in life, experiences of my students made me stronger to stand and believe to my students progress and success. Even though they have these experiences they chose to do what's the best thing to do for them to succeed. Getting their diploma and achieved their goals after all those struggles made me feel so proud of them, because I am thankful that I was one of their mentors during those times that they are starting on their profession.

I believe that being an SSP adviser helps me understand our students which eventually made me a better teacher. In a way I think in my case, SSP though designed primarily to guide our students, It equally benifited me to become good in my profession.
In many occasions, my students end up inspiring me, looking at their ways in continuing to reach for their dreams no matter how hard the obstacles and challengesthat their are facing.
I just hope that I could continue to master my craft to become a good teacher with my students.
I feel great that my experience in SSP does not only made me to become a better teacher but also to be a better person as well.

SSP Story

2022-06-26 01:13:45 UTC

when I was starting out, I use SSP time as the opportunity to ask my students about their feelings after a long day in class. Used also the time to ask the question "Para kanino ka bumabangon" the kwentong nescafe mode, and it really helps them to recall their goals in life. SSP is the time where kumustahan and students will open up.

Reading students' answers (seeing them demonstrate concern for other people's welfare - one is filtering what they are about to say and do, not limited to mundane interest only of decorating their repute; another is responsibly and properly disposing garbage) manifesting substantial learning. One real-life situation is when a student approached me when her score is wrongly totaled by the checker. She asked me to deduct her score with 10 points since the recorded is 48, and her real score is 38.

2022-06-26 03:42:22 UTC

I've been teaching for almost a decade, and I can say that "Indeed I can make their lives better through education". Some of my students are now members of the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, some are also in the Academe. The Student Success Program (SSP) helps my students to become engaged and connected, they can share their problems, and they can connect to their teachers, advisers, and their fellow students.

SSP Story

2022-06-26 17:14:43 UTC

Nais kong ibahagi sa inyo ang natanggap kong " Thank you letter" noong June 21, 2022 mula sa naging estudyante ko sa SSP SHS at First year level . Ang kanyang liham ay kuwento ng tagumpay ng SSP. Si Ms. Calaunan ay magtatapos sa kursong BSED English ngayong June 27, 2022 bilang Cum Laude at Valedictorian.

Good morning po, sir Arnold!

Nakuha ko po ang Valedictorian Thank you so much po sa lahaaaat. Salamat po sa inspirasyon at tiwala po ninyo sa kakayahan ko. I couldn't have done it without you po, sir

SHS palang po, naging tatay na po kayo sakin/saamin. I was always the quiet one, but please know na you are one of the many reasons po bat po ako nagpatuloy at mas nagpursige pa. Salamat po kasi isa po kayo sa mga unang naniwala saakin sa buong journey ko sa UPang.

Di ko po alam if naaalala nyo pa po, pero the letter you asked us to make po noon, yung susulat po kami sa future self namin nung SHS po kami. I can remember na I wished to be a hundred percent okay or happy na po in the future. Yung letter na yun po ang nagpa-realize saakin na things may not be okay now, pero magiging okay rin ang lahat, na may pag-asa pang maging okay ang lahat.

No one knew na I wasn't okay back then, not even my parents, pero isa po kayo sa nagpatatag ng loob ko. Yun po siguro ang isa sa dahilan bat po ako naluha nung interview ko po for leadership award. Na kasama ko po sa room that day ang isa po sa mga naniwala at nag-inspire saakin nung mga oras na nanghihina ako--my 2nd dad.

I never got the chance to personally thank you, sir. Pero maraming maraming salamat po.

I was able to handle SSP for a couple of years now and I find this program unique and effective. This program allows me to personally connect with my students and motivate them with their studies and address their problems. What I love with this subjects is I was able to relate my life experiences and use it in motivating my students to continue and pursue their dreams. This program is indeed fulfilling 😊😊😊

2022-06-26 22:14:49 UTC

As a teacher my goal in not just teaching the mind of every student but also teaching their hearts in that way I can make sure that they are learning in every period that we had. In my ssp, we enjoyed every time that we shared, I got to know the stories of my students (Vv) and also shared the most beautiful experiences that they have in connection in our topic.

Being a SSP adviser, you know that your role with your student is not only as a teacher but also as someone that your student can put their trust in.

SSP is an interactive subject that will let you know more your students. It's a way of connecting and having meaningful relationships with them.

MY SSP STORY

2022-06-27 02:34:09 UTC

After 8 years, God gave me PHINMA UI. I never expected to be in the academe world again and in the second semester last school year I handled SSP classes.

I was very happy to share one of the topic in SSP about obedience and relate or connect it to my students life. Obedience leads to personal growth. Every command God asks of us isn't just for his sake, but for ours. The call to obedience is for our benefit. He knows what is best for us and how to grow us to be stronger people and followers of Christ.

MY SSP STORY

2022-06-27 02:52:45 UTC

Life is unpredictable, you can't define what is in the future. Being a teacher is one of the most special thing that happens in my life. Through NSTP/SSP I was able to change someone's perspectives and ideals. Hearing their stories makes me more eager to help them. I know that I can't give them financial support but through listening and giving advices to their concerns really matters. Every time I call them "ANAK/NAK" they feel that they are welcome and special. They feel secured whenever I am with them in the sense that I put my shoes on their situations.

Working together is a great success for the betterment of our education.

2022-06-27 02:57:44 UTC

I would like to start answering with the quote of Daniel Goleman " If your emotional abilities aren't in hand if you don't have self-awareness if you are not able to manage your emotions if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are your are not going to get very far".

Hence, the SSP course is an avenue for PHINMA Ed Students to develop holistically.

acguinsodcoc — 2022-06-27 03:02:13 UTC

This subject is a reminder that our job as a teacher is not only limited to our discussions of concepts and ideas, it is also about having personal connections with our students. This includes making them feel that we are here for them and that we are willing to extend some help. This is what I appreciate about SSP and it is a joy to my heart to be part of it.

SSP STORY

2022-06-27 03:08:01 UTC

Teaching is not just a profession, but it is a passion. You need to be dedicated to what you are doing. A teacher is not just a teacher, you will be a friend, a sister/brother, and a parent.

What I like most in SSP is that the trust in each other is there. Camaraderie is present. As an adviser, I need to be open and empathetic to what they are going through. This subject serves as the channel on which they (students) were able to share their triumphs, challenges, and difficulties. And through this, I will be able to lend a helping hand to those students who are in need.

My SSP Story

2022-06-27 03:11:27 UTC

I came from other school where students are much different from our students here. SSP sessions helped me understand our students plight and made adjustments so I can help them better academically.

SSP Story

2022-06-27 03:38:12 UTC

I've handled SSP/NSTP classes and connect with my students. Listening to their stories and understanding their struggles. Encouragements, motivations and learning all I can share to them and it's really heartwarming to hear them appreciate you as you care for them. They learn from you and you learn from them as well.

My SSP Story

2022-06-27 04:37:36 UTC

There's a lot of stories I heard from my students. But, one story that's hard for me to forget and touched my soul is from my student who is self supporting.
He has to work hard to finance himself. Seeing his calloused hands and wounded fingers, almost made me cry.
During periodic 1, he always miss his assignments. But, I really wanted to help and so, I gave him a call and gave pieces of advise. As a result, he managed to attend classes, submit assignments, and exams during P2 and P3. Resulting to a passing final grade.
It makes me happy to bring out my students' best version of their selves, and to see them succeed in life is priceless.

In education, the same as in life, giving second chances must be a must for every teacher. Many students feel motivated and invigorated to study harder once a teacher gives them another chance to prove themselves that they are worth it.

2022-06-27 05:26:02 UTC

The Student Success Program is a good resource for both us instructors and our students. Through this platform, teachers and students can communicate in a way that would otherwise be challenging in a traditional classroom setting.

As a teacher, you will reflect on your role after hearing about various experiences in the classroom. We have an obligation to know more about our students than just their names. We have the obligation to inspire and instill knowledge in our students.

What is your SSP story?

2022-06-27 05:58:32 UTC

I am glad that SSP gives me an avenue to be close to my students. Kamustahan sessions are one of my favorites in SSP where I personally get to hear my students' stories so that we can inspire each other to be better. I also get to do counselling sessions with my students so I cen get to know them on a more personal level.

Prior to SSP, I have a vast experience being an adviser since I have taught in elementary and high school for more or less 9 years, PHINMA and non-PHINMA schools included. Being an adviser is a tough job. You have to get yourself involved with your students' lives and sometimes it could be difficult to stay objective. But on the other hand, getting to know your students gives you a better perspective of where they are coming from and therefore, could harness you with ideas on how better lead them towards the promise of a better life -- the life that our school wants for them. This is true especially with my college advisees. They need constant reminders of their current state -- where they are and where they want to be so that they can constantly be reminded of their dreams and aspirations -- that is to make their lives better. Some of my students are now my co-teachers. That is the perfect shoutout that indeed, lives can be better.

My SSP story

2022-06-27 07:04:57 UTC

In this course, SSP, I did multi tasks. I not only imparted knowledge to students, but had to listen to their stories and problems. I became a teacher, advisor, calculator and referrer. Issues which I as a teacher could not handle, needed to be referred to the Dean or CSDL.

Flexibility, distance learning and having problem in internet connection. But as A teacher, I tried to cheer them up, encourage them and reminds them all the time to focus in their study and take it as a challenge all the problems they encountered. I tried to communicate them even not scheduled class and entertained their queries and questions regarding our subject. They need a clear explanation of the subject and set example to clearly explained the topic. Although, some were not focusing but, I continued reminding them and informed them what to do.

Making a difference

2022-06-27 15:56:51 UTC

There are so many reasons why we became teachers! So many inspiring teacher stories we hold on to and continue with when teaching becomes hard. Having overcome so many struggles, errors, failures, and more! But through it all, we are making a difference in these kid’s lives, and they are making a difference in ours! So hang in their teachers, never forget WHY you became one.

SSP Story

2022-06-28 00:26:05 UTC

Being able to hear the stories of our students during the difficult times of the surge of pandemic is a helpful way to connect with our students. This course serves as a bridge to empathize and support our students in their personal, emotional, financial challenges.

MY SSP STORY

2022-06-28 02:06:11 UTC

A teacher has many different roles towards a student's lives. This SSP has thought me that we also learn from our student's point of view, their life situations, their eagerness to study and the hindrances that they take every single day just to survive. I had experienced to be called as a second mother for them. As a teacher we have to emphasize each student's value or worth, we have to empower them to strengthen their faith towards themselves. I know, because I was once a student, and I wanted to make them feel what a teacher should be without any fear, but with constant respect and love itself.

SSP STORY

2022-06-28 02:29:39 UTC

I find it enjoying handling SSP subjects, i got to know different stories of hardships of our students. From there, I know what they are going thru their life. I got the chance to give advise to them and guide them through out the semester

2022-06-28 02:29:40 UTC

One of the best things I like about SSP is being able to have the access to my students' plans and dreams. Through their Odyssey plan, I get to understand and get to somehow foresee what the future is for them. As such, as their adviser, I can give advice, and help them realize these dreams. It also feels nice to know that through interaction students become open about their lives. The moment students expose about their personal struggles, I believe they become comfortable at you. By simply listening, you make them feel they're not alone. With this, I feel grateful that in one way or another, I have made a difference in their lives.

My SSP Story

2022-06-28 02:48:15 UTC

One of the lessons I like most in SSP modules is making the Odyssey Plan. Along the semester, especially when the students go through difficulties, I remind them not to give up and remember what they wrote on their Odyssey Plan. This usually encourages them to go on and inspires them not to give up their goal of graduating someday. This situation makes me feel very useful as an adviser.

SSP Story

2022-06-28 04:22:45 UTC

Being an SSP Adviser, it made me realized that teaching is not just about class discussion, how to successfully deliver the subject matter to the students but there are still other things that we need to know about our students. As I was doing this work, I get to recall the teaching of a Pastor on Proverbs 22: 6 that quotes " Train up a child in the way he should go; And when he is old he will not depart from it". With this, the SSP direction is somewhat relevant to the quote that I cited. And as an adviser, we just don't impart knowledge BUT we also need to train them to become a good individual by showing our love as second parent, lifting them up whenever they are down and lead them to the best path.

Words of Encouragement

2022-06-28 04:31:57 UTC

When you know a student is struggling with coursework and staying motivated, will words of encouragement help motivate and inspire them? You bet they will!

In fact, research studies investigating the power of verbal encouragement found that students receiving encouragement from counselors reported they felt more empowered to earn their degrees and make better decisions regarding their career choices.

MY SSP STORY

2022-06-28 06:31:05 UTC

Student Success Program is a great avenue for us teachers and our students. In my SSP class I get the chance to do KUMUSTAHAN SESSION with my students, with this one I can better understand their situations and hear some comments coming from them.

SSP class is a perfect avenue in building a better communication with the students specially when they have a problem or concern. In this class you will become as their adviser to give advice to them.

I would like to share my own experience in my class, I have this one student who shared his problem to me and ask for an advice for him to face its problem.

So by this, I really appreciated that in every semester a student should enroll SSP subject because we see in this the mission and vision of the university.

Student Success

2022-06-28 07:26:50 UTC

As a new teacher for me student success is when the students engagement resulted a positive outcomes. This will be the time students have the positive perspectives in their lives no matter what circumstances they are in. It is the time when students do more than what is expected and delivers a positive and very good result on all their engagement and have the ability to manage their time properly.

SSP Story

2022-06-28 07:29:20 UTC

Teaching SSP subject became a way for me to immerse with the students not just about their education but also with their personal lives. Helping the students achieve their dreams is one of my greatest goal. There are many instances that a student ask for my guidance during difficult times, and I can say that I did my best to help them. Seeing the students achieving their dreams is a great accomplishment for me as their SSP adviser.

An Extra Mile

2022-06-28 07:40:05 UTC

For us, Basic Education Teachers, we are always willing to go an extra mile in helping our students achieve things. To help our learners achieve academically, we offer them free enrichment classes especially for those who are struggling in their grades. We set a special schedule so we can meet them once a week.
There were instances as well that we even helped a few of our students who are struggling with their financial needs. If we could possibly afford it, we help them without second thoughts.

SSP JOURNEY

2022-06-28 07:49:38 UTC

Encouragement of personality development encourages pupils to respect not only their teachers but also their fellow students, which is essential in terms of education.
Because of the numerous advantages, especially when it comes to higher learning programs, student personal development is crucial. Personal development must be discussed when discussing academic development. A well-prepared individual who will fit in the competitive market is what universities are supposed to generate.

Making lives better through Education

2022-06-28 08:09:54 UTC

Students reaches their success with their own hard work, will power, and perseverance so where do we place ourselves as teachers? Students succeed in life with the help of teachers, no one is alone and with this, we teachers guide our learners to learn the right way. Learners can struggle and fail in life but we teachers provide them with the motivation and the support they need not to give up. We continue to guide them even if we find ourselves struggling to. Their success is our success and making their lives better through education is such fulfilling for us teachers.

2022-06-28 08:35:16 UTC

I have not yet handled the SSP subject, but I know it's a good thing to have this kind of subject, in this we can understand more our students' interests that will help them to provide with quality learning opportunities. They will be more likely to engage with the learning process.

2022-06-28 08:39:55 UTC

I've been teaching for more than seven years. I've seen some of my students through their highs and lows. Everyday, I thought of ways in helping them. As they move on to the next level every year, I am proud of how they face their struggles. I am proud of how they achieve their goals. I am proud of how they pay forward on what they learned from me, and that is how I make their lives better. ♥

"Making lives better though education"

2022-06-28 10:52:55 UTC

This is not SSP related since this is early 2020. But it is indeed one of my students graduated because we believe that there are great opportunities coming to her way once she graduated and I'm glad I witnessed all of her hard work while achieving her dreams

My SSP Story

2022-06-28 13:49:49 UTC

It happened last school year during our NSTP/SSP when one of my students suddenly experienced a panic attack. I don't know that our discussion about Mental Health and Suicide Prevention will trigger his emotion. He requested that we talk about his mental health. As a teacher, I listen to his story with empathy. Guide him. Check his condition. And I assure him that he can reach me 24 hours through messenger if he needs someone to talk to or listen to him. And seeing him happy last week during the enrollment gives me hope that he will have a positive mindset this coming school year.

SSP promotes the sense of belongingness in class. It serves as a pod for my students where they can share their struggles, problems, or anxieties that they are encountering. With SSP, I was able to connect with my students, to listen to their needs, and to give them inspiration and encouragement to excel in their academic performances and to reach their dreams.

2022-06-29 00:44:11 UTC

I am a cool and fun teacher. I never fail to make my students laugh, I love sharing jokes to them and they can learn at the same time. A fun learning environment is always my goal. That is why I am always the favorite teacher of some students because I reach out to them not as a teacher only but also as a friend, a mother etc. I love the feeling that they learn so much from me and they appreciate me as their teacher. Every time I receive messages from my students about how thankful they are and the successes they have reached because of my help, I feel successful as a teacher. This why I am here today because I believe in my students and they believe in me too. We are all in this together because we are a TEAM.
Together Everyone Achieves More.

And that is my SSP Story.

The nicest part of teaching is witnessing your students achieve in their chosen fields and recognizing that you were a big part of it.

I've been with Phinma Coc for about 4 years, and so far, this experience has helped me realize that teaching is more than just a profession; it's a passion that gives us the ability to assist our students achieve success in the future. My work as a pastry chef overseas has given me the experience I need to shape my students into future competitors.

One of the students in my bread and pastry production class is very interested in baking but lacks the resources to pursue her passion because she is not wealthy. However, thanks to the courses we offer and the facilities we have at Phinma-COC, she has been able to practice her newfound skills and is now running her own CAKE business, which allows her to support her family.

My students and I have a close relationship as a result of the student success program. I had three advising classes during my first teaching years at PUCU. This is very important for me as a teacher since I need to remember these students' names, attitudes, hobbies, flaws, and strengths in order to help them develop strong character traits and achieve success.
In the classroom, my students told anecdotes that got me to consider my role as a teacher. We have an obligation to know more about our students than just their names. They must be heard in order for us to know how to best assist these students.

SSP Story

2022-06-29 02:08:46 UTC

SSP is a fantastic resource for both us teachers and our students. The professors and students can communicate via this platform. In this challenging times, I encounter a lot of students facing a lot of problems but with this program, we can somehow help our students with their problems and address their concerns may it be personal, academic or financial.

Making Student's Lives (a little bit) Better

2022-06-29 02:10:45 UTC

One thing's for sure: Handling SSP subject isn't for the weak. I always have to create a mindset a day before our mentoring and monitoring session with hopes that students will open their hearts to me once i ask them the magic word, "kamusta kana?". Often times, kids are hesitant to answer this question especially when it comes from a person of authority: a teacher. But then, once students get comfortable with you, they start telling things, they start sharing their struggles, they initiate questions frequently coming off as, "how to deal with this then?". Hearing them out and empathizing with their concerns, i always get to formulate something that can at least alleviate the burden, make them feel good, valid and loved. Making students feel that somebody is their willing to listen to their rants or struggles and receive a confirmation or a word of encouragement (even if its simple and it's virtually spoken), it indeed make their lives a little bit better. The heart swells a little bit more hearing back the words, "thank you" knowing that you have indeed made their day a lighter after daily academic struggles they have to conquer.

MAKING LIVES BETTER.

2022-06-29 02:14:30 UTC

I am a new instructor but I will do my best to monitor my students and give them extra advices and guidance to make them feel that they can really achieve their dreams.

I have started my teaching experience amid the pandemic. As a new educator, I am on the verge of blending myself in with the students in order to deliver my best way of teaching to them. Despite the distance, meeting the students online, and calling them thru their phones, I was able to feel that we are really connected. Gladly, some students are sharing personal emotions and their current experiences in their personal and academic life. As their adviser and friend, I am happy that I could change a little bit of their mood by inspiring them to what are the best possible way to do things given in their scenario and uplift them in my own little way.

MY SSP EXPERIENCE

2022-06-29 03:03:19 UTC

I was employed at Phinma Ed when the Pandemic started so I can't actually talk to the students personally. Most students are not really open to what they really feel. So I always find ways for them to enjoy SSP time. When I notice one of my students having a problem or having a hard time I usually message them personally and ask if they are okay, of course, they won't open up at first but eventually they will open up, especially if they are comfortable with you.
Seeing them enjoying and having fun with this subject makes me happy with my work too. Made me realize that we can teach them while they are enjoying themselves.

Indeed, I can make lives better through education

hmnegosacoc — 2022-06-29 03:13:45 UTC

The goal to have something you can share is something worth celebrating for, especially to students who are less fortunate both economically and academically. The opportunity to guide and educating people is very rare thinking that without our efforts to transfer skills and knowledge would make this country not a country at all.

Indeed, making lives better through education is not only a simple job or career. It's indeed a way how we exactly mold and equip our students to become globally competent individual and life - long learners.

I usually ask myself, did I do the right thing? Did I somehow affect their lives? or did I make their lives better? Then one of my students said "Thank you Ma'am" it already answer my question.

One of the memorable moment as a SSP Adviser is when I try to lift up the moral of the student that is already want to surrender his studies . I can say that he is really sincere in that time shown by his tears . Having a family and financial problem is not easy obstacle as a student . I remember myself to him before when I was a student . With courage , hard work , and perseverance , nothing is impossible.

Student success

apbunzacoc — 2022-06-29 05:19:46 UTC

We could say that there is a student success if he/she was able to realize his/her full potential and make every single steps he/she needs to take in order for him/her reach it and make his/her dreams become a reality.

AS a new teacher, my definition of student sucess is about the perseverance to reach goals even at times of having struggles in life like poverty.

One of the most satisfying moment of being a teacher is knowing that your effort is appreciated by your students. Hearing their testimonies inspires and fuels our passion to do great things to help them.

2022-06-29 07:26:36 UTC

Let your own excitement to connect to your students come through is contagious and showing your students that you are glad to be with them and guide them on their SSP subject excursion will make a difference in how they view your class. Be vivacious. Be imaginative. Have some good times, and let your students see those good sentiments consistently. And I will always remind them this quote from R. Collier, "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated" At the point when they perceive that you are so eager to instruct and empowering them to keep chasing after their education in the midst of pandemic, they will be more eager to do their part as a student and make their lives better.

2022-06-29 07:32:45 UTC

SSP is a great avenue to connect and inspire our students.

Here, our students can open up about their problems and as teachers we should be there to lend them an ear and give appropriate advices.

SSP sessions helped me to better understand my students' different situations :)

SSP Story

2022-06-29 07:33:11 UTC

Generally, PHINMA Ed's main clientele are those to be considered as their family's first generation graduates. Serving these students require us teachers to have a pocket-full of patience and a heartful desire to help them cross their sea of difficulty. Hearing different stories of failures, challenges and hardships made me realized the weight of my responsibility as a teacher. Aside from loading their minds with all the academic, theoretical and conceptual knowledge, we also have to be concerned with their inner selves thus solidifying my belief on how noble teaching profession is.

I may not be a degree holder of education but what I can share is SSP made me realize that teaching is my career path and manifesting to be an LPT this coming September 2022

My SSP Story

2022-06-29 08:09:54 UTC

If I am to recall an experience that made me say "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!" , it would be coming from the feedback that I have been receiving from my students. Apart from knowing that I have touched their lives by teaching them real-life lessons and inspire them, it is just so great to learn that I did a good job when I read their statements saying that they have learned a lot from me because I did not tolerate them when they have had so many excuses. I never gave them a chance when I knew their reasons were lame and invalid. I never extended a deadline because they should know what to prioritize.

Being an SSP Adviser is about hearing their cries, knowing their battles, and just being their to extend a hand an ear. I have been amazed with the experiences of my students and I have already heard a lot of stories. From good to bad feelings, and best and worst experiences. Their stories of struggles and sacrifices made a reminder to me that we, educators, would greatly affect and impact their lives and their careers. And with this, may we all take our callings deeply to our hearts and never take our jobs for granted.

Through this course, students and teachers are able to connect with each other to discuss about their academics and personal life. We get to know our students better and be able to understand them better.

I have learned to be more compassionate and understanding because of SSP. There are a lot of untold stories that are heard through SSP.

SSP STORY

2022-06-29 08:17:46 UTC

As one of the teachers in SSP, I've heard a lot of painful stories and most of them ended with "Ma'am, daw ma stop na ko". These words sadden me because they wanted to study it's just that circumstances are not in their favor.
What I did was refer them to the department here in our school that offers financial aid if their problem is financially but if not then I became their friend that listens to their problem.
Many students are demotivated because they felt that they don't have someone that supports them, so I become what they are looking.
Some of those students who had the intention of stopping continued their studies.

During one semester, I was in charge of a section where all but During one semester, I was in charge of a section where all but one of the students received academic awards in the first quarter. Under my subject, that one student got a line 7 grade. She came up to me and asked if there was anything she could do to at least get an 80. I told her there was nothing she could do. We talked. I told her, "I'm sure you can make it up in the second quarter. I'll teach you the best I can, but you have to promise me that you'll also help yourself." She cried, but she got what I said. I watched what she did and saw how well she did it. I met her when I was getting my medals and awards. I was teary-eyed.

SSP STORY

2022-06-29 08:54:04 UTC

SSP is one of the best subjects that every teacher should teach since it allows you to develop relationships with your students. It is not just a one-unit subject however.

Through this SSP, I got to know my students more than simply their names and what they think about in class. I believe that this subject helps them gain confidence because they are encouraged to engage in the activities without fear of being judged. Every graduate student need to have strong communication skills, which this subject will help them improve.

Your desire to support them in striving for their best and being inspired to fulfill their life goals will increase as a result of their gratitude messages.

SSP SUCCESS STORY

2022-06-29 11:41:00 UTC

SSP is a subject where teachers inspire and help students ignite students motivation. Handling students in SSP takes a lot of patience, care, love, and eagerness to help each student realize what they are capable of. It is a subject where students must feel they belong. It is a subject where teachers go the extra mile to contact students who seem to be lost on the track.

My success story is every time my students succeed in what they do, even those they set as short-term goals. It is a success every time students and parents show gratefulness for the patience I have shown them and for the words I have inculcated in them.

It was and will always be a success story whenever students who almost gave up continued because there's a teacher who believed in them and only wants the best for them.

2nd Semester 2021

2022-06-29 14:33:39 UTC

Way back last year 2nd semester, that is the time I was hired as faculty at Phinma-COC Criminology Department. At first I was hesitant to ask the students about their daily routine in life but, because of the fact that it is a mandatory to do a "KAMUSTAHAN" with the students I overcome my hesitation towards them. I interviewed each one of them as our first day meet via Goggle meet. As a newly hired faculty that time I was amazed by their answer specifically for the question that goes like this " What if one day you finally graduated in college and took the board exam and then passed it. After you passed the said board exam you applied in the PNP, again you passed all the exams until your oathtaking ceremony. You became a Policemen/Policewomen but, there is a situation that one of your close relatives involved in a serious crime and then you are the arresting officer that time. My question is that, are you willing to help that relatives of yours to escape despite of the crime he/she involved?.

Student answered: No ma'am, because as a member of the PNP organization i will maintain my reputation as a role model and also my duty to protect and safeguard the community.

With that answer coming from the student, I was enlighted and I realized that with this KAMUSTAHAN activity I will do my best to give them the best learning they want to have despite of the fact that its just a virtual interaction.

SSP, not just a Program but a Home.

2022-06-30 00:50:54 UTC

Being a SSP adviser is not just about teaching the ways to success but also teaching the ways to solve their problems as a student.

I remember sometime last semester, two of my students were in the urge of giving up their dreams.
To make long story short, after some deep-talks, counseling and persuasion, two students continued to study and are enrolled as 4th year students right now.

At the present time, they are still connecting with me and wish that I am their SSP adviser this opening of classes because they said that I am their "rescuer" and a "home" away from home.

With this, I can say that I am an instructor and a home to some students who will need a home and I will continue to make the lives of the students better through education.

What is Student Success?

2022-06-30 00:52:56 UTC

This is one of the apparatuses that will offer help in social variety, coaching, and monitoring students. To help students comprehend and improved their assorted thoughts, abilities, information, self-awareness and to be good to go to accomplish their present and future objectives. I sincerely say that having Student Success Program during my college days, was significantly useful to me. Here I can able to share and communicate how I battled on certain things throughout everyday life. Likewise, this assists me with seeing more the importance of finding true success, this isn't exclusively by having a certificate or a degree holder yet to encounter more all encompassing of satisfaction and ready on what will our future brings.

SSP STORY

2022-06-30 01:05:03 UTC

The experience I had teaching SSP was listening to the student's concerns regarding their academic problems, financial problems , personal problems, etc., and encounter different attitudes and behavior of a student.

Adviser is to Parent, SSP is to Home

2022-06-30 03:15:55 UTC

I remember a lot of memories, sharing and great experiences in our SSP. My students often call our SSP Time as their safest subject, their comfortable time and the time where they can consider our room as home. We do a lot of sharing and talks when we have our SSP Time

I let them voice out and hear their rants and problems. As a PHINMA Ed Teacher I believe that these things I mentioned really extend us with extra mile and one of the reasons why we make lives through education

2022-06-30 04:54:59 UTC

As an SSP adviser, I help my students to grow as an individual because a highly knowledgeable person will have a better grip on handling any problem that comes in his or her way.

I am really glad to handled SSP classes because I was able to connect with my students especially if they have personal problems

2022-06-30 05:22:25 UTC

I am really glad to handled SSP classes because I was able to connect with my students emotionally when they have problems. I was able to gave them advice and motivate them when they are down. SSP helps me to understand more with the attitude and personalities of my students.

My SSP Story

2022-06-30 07:19:32 UTC

A message from my past SSP student that makes me proud as an SSP adviser and as an instructor. I may not a rich person to help the student financially, But I can borrow my time and ears to students who needs my help .

Student Success comes with perseverance. No matter how difficult the trials are, one can definitely continue without or less remorse from rejections and downfalls. The taste of success is delightful when derived from overcoming inconvenience.

2022-06-30 07:56:39 UTC

The definition of perseverance is what I always instill to my students. Thorn/s is indispensable in human life, so one must learn to proceed or move forward, no stopping, to achieve his defined success.

Student success for me means that you were able to influence students for their betterment.

What is Your SSP story?

2022-06-30 08:22:35 UTC

I'd able to say "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!" when I hear students asking questions or clarifications about the topic of the day through text or chats. This is the sign that students' eagerness to learn is there. The spark is there. After all when you hear them commenting like " Ah ganun lang pala"- indeed refreshes the feeling and can claim that "in that simple comment- I indeed made the life of that student...BETTER.

My SSP Story

2022-06-30 08:43:57 UTC

Teaching SSP, especially to my SHS students way back from 2016-2018, I can say was memorable and fruitful. Through SSP, my students have the time to take a break from their academic work and stress. They are free to talk/share anything in the class about how they are doing emotionally, mentally, financially, and academically. It is like having a little retreat inside the class. 😇🥰

- Miss Ibo (SWU PHINMA)

This could be the last part of our remote teaching! maybe, this year we can focus to teach more and provide lessons that can be imparted to our students in the future. At least we will take the gap for those students who don't have devices.

2022-06-30 12:36:05 UTC

In SSP class I can say that it is a class that would connect students from different places to one. I am able to talked to them as well as give them something that would motivate them to study hard. As an SSP advisor we serve as a channel for them to reach their dreams.

2022-06-30 13:38:19 UTC

Raise the Flag!

2022-06-30 14:44:31 UTC

Success for a student can mean hardships and struggles but then having a story to tell is a declaration that a student can raise the flag no matter what challenges come year after year while still in the school. For every hardship and struggle comes a reward, a recognition, an appreciation and motivation to pursue that dream and achieve it. That is why as a teacher, giving hope and inspiration is my way of leading these students to achieving their dream!

NEW TEACHER

2022-06-30 15:36:21 UTC

Student Success is by gaining self esteem through education. Everyone has standards for themselves with regards to their grades. By gaining confidence coming from their grades is a success for me since it is an achievement for the students, not just to get a higher grades but also to passed a certain subject.

Making lived better through education

2022-07-01 01:44:46 UTC

Indeed, I can say that I can make lives better through education since being a teacher doesn’t ends with sharing your knowledge on their profession someday, but also we inspire them to strive on their goals and giving life advices that might help them on their journey.

MY SSP STORY :)

nesarmientosjc — 2022-07-01 01:50:13 UTC

Being an SSP adviser for a year, I can say that it was quite fulfilling and challenging. Fulfilling because I know that talking to your students and connecting with them is such a big thing to them. Letting them know that they have you as their teacher, that they can tell you anything that is happening to them academically and personally; and being able to help them with their concerns.

It was also challenging because this is the part where you will know how hard their life is everyday, how much they are trying their best to comply with the school works even though they are working at the same time. It is challenging because you will learn that these students are not that competitive in classes.

But I am still going to do my best of best to make sure that they can learn something at the end of the day, whether it is in acads or in life.

Making lives better through education

2022-07-01 01:50:59 UTC

Being a teacher doesn’t ends with just giving the knowledge on a certain field but you can also inspire students to strive on their goals and gives advices on life that may help them to pursue their carrer in life.

"Making lives better through education"

2022-07-01 01:51:27 UTC

Since, I'm still new when it comes to teaching I'm indeed happy that there are now SSP subjects incorporated in the curriculum. As far as I can remember, back in my college days these subjects don't exist. Students like me who encountered financial and family problems that greatly affected my performance at school live each day without our teachers knowing our status.

It's greatly important to do "kumustahan" to your students most especially those students whom you could see that there are slight difference on how they perform in class. Letting them know that we educators are willing to listen, help and lend them our shoulder to cry on has big impact on them. Sometimes all they need is to vent out how they feel for them to get better again.

SSP Story

2022-07-01 02:14:33 UTC

During my first few weeks of teaching as a new hire here in PHINMA SJC, one of my students sent me a private message saying that he is clinically depressed and is suffering dramatically while living his day-to-day life. Thankfully, I was able to connect with him by actively listening to his statements, not just blurting out advices like a know-all. I let him realize by himself that acceptance is key to have a meaningful life. Acceptance that all lives are meant to suffer through challenges, and we, as human beings, are built to overcome these for us to grow; so that we can nurture ourselves and the people around us.

Fortunately, he will now be part of the graduating batch and he always shows his appreciation to me. It really is fulfilling when you were able to help a person understand his feelings.

A helping Hand

2022-07-01 02:54:06 UTC

I was hired last December 2021 and its my first time to handle SSP. It is such an honor for me to be one of the advisers of SSP, to act as an educator, motivator and listener of the students concerns emotionally, financially and ofcourse academically. I am grateful that through this subject I can listen to their problem where I can extend my helping hand to the students in which they needed it the most. Simple advice and encouragement would greatly affect the students interest in pursuing their studies ,in surpassing students hardship they encountered, and with that I can say that simply listening and addressing the students resentment, displeasure or any problem they encountered is "INDEED, I CAN MAKE LIVES BETTER THROUGH EDUCATION"

it feels good when students come to you telling how you inspired them and helped them overcome their shortcomings. also as a teacher it adds more vigor for me to continue imparting my knowledge and skills in helping my students become the best.

SSP

2022-07-01 03:28:16 UTC

As teachers, our job is more than just to teach. Our mission goes beyond the classroom as we are also tasked to ensure that our students will succeed. As a new teacher, I have no experience of handling SSP Subjects. But being informed about this subject, I am excited to be an SSP adviser. This is what I had always looked forward to; to help my students succeed; to make their dreams a reality.

2022-07-01 03:46:12 UTC

My student's success is also my success. I teach my students to form good habits to be successful in life that starts from making up their beds as soon as they wake up. This is one simple important first task of the day that teaches discipline.

2022-07-01 03:54:49 UTC

As a nurse educator and being able to touch lives in a different manner, show empathy and compassion through being an SSP adviser really is something fulfilling for me. Indeed, I could really say, I can make lives better through education.

SSP helped me reach out to my students' needs and queries. This also served as a platform where my students could freely raise their educational concerns without hesitation. Students were guided and supplemented with information they needed in the process of making their lives better through education.

2022-07-01 05:36:35 UTC

SSP STORY

2022-07-01 08:41:55 UTC

SSP is really a challenging but fulfilling program. As one of the advisers, it provides me an opportunity to help our students in processing safely their own concerns. Although sometimes your efforts in reaching them out specially those STARS seem frustrating due to hard-to-get attitude and others like challenges on convincing them to share their true concerns but then, once they started to open up with you and shows a little spark of hope and being motivated to go on their studies whatever it takes, it will somehow give you a feeling of being fulfilled and satisfied. All the activities of the program are really great.

STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM

eroacoc — 2022-07-01 19:32:05 UTC

(NEWBIE EMPLOYEE HERE; haven't had SSP classes yet but,) In my own definition which is based solely on my experience way back when I was still a college student, student success for me is the productivity that I do in a day to make progress for my learning and experience that is related to the course I am currently enrolled to, with the help and advises given by my teachers. Anyhow, success doesn't have to be that grandiose to call it ''success''. Success is also done in finishing simple tasks, failing frequently until you make it as long as you don't give up on it, learning your own mistakes, correcting the wrongs you've done, taking the responsibility that you are put into whether you like it or not, etc...

Student Success

2022-07-02 09:01:11 UTC

As a first time teacher, my definition of student success is first, if they were able to finish studies. secondly, if they were able to get a job after school. It is better if it is aligned to the degree that they hold. Then lastly, student success is when they were able to make their way up, being financially stable and being a good citizen of the society.

In handling SSP you should have a lot of patience, empathy and understanding to your students. In the past 2 years I handled a class where in most of them are failing or have a big possibility not to graduate. So as an adviser i need to call them one by one and encourage and help them to graduate. It's hard at first but seeing them on stage during graduation is big achievement for us an advisers.

2022-07-02 15:53:00 UTC

STUDENT SUCCESS

2022-07-02 23:55:12 UTC

My definition of student success is that when students find meaning and fulfillment in whatever they do. And the role of teachers is to foster grit and a growth mindset in the students while also assisting them in acquiring enriching experiences that can help them make their way through life.

SSP STORY

2022-07-03 09:27:15 UTC

In SSP classes, we establish and create a deeper kind of understanding and relationships with our students. We don't only talk about there academic performances, we also deal with their problems. We encourage them to continue their schooling inspite of all the struggles that they are experiencing. We serve as motivators. We get to know more of our students thru SSP classes.

MY SSP STORY

2022-07-04 02:29:56 UTC

KUMUSTAHAN was the best part of my SSP classes during pandemic. We were able to still connect to each other despite the lockdowns and protocols. The students shared their experiences, whether good or bad, and I believe we all benefited from this activity. We were able to cheer on students who were struggling and we celebrated all milestones however small they may be. And I was so happy to see majority of them were able to surpass the challenges and have now attained their degree.

My Panganaysss!

My SSP Story

2022-07-04 04:27:18 UTC

As a teacher, our responsibility to mold and motivate students does not only limit in the four-corners of the classroom. Our words of encouragement and to let them feel that we are with them is really very important.

A student wanted to stop studying because she had a family problem especially that when she was staying with her partner until she got pregnant. I always reaching her out because she missed a lot to comply in order to pass my subject. I realized that time , students have their own battles to conquer and as her teacher I am one of the many people who look after her situation but the fact that I considered myself as her second parent. She called me up and shared her disappointments, turmoil and frustrations. She starts to gave up, she went away home, she escaped from her partners home because her partner's mother did not even treated her well, as if that she was not existing.

I talked to her and gave her words of inspiration and encouragement that for sure will motivate her to be that woman stronger and motivated enough to face life adversities. And, the most important key is to manifest herself through education.

My shared experiences allowed me to relate in her situation in which the student have realized and even until now she was pursuing her college degree regardless of her situation.

I told her to go home and ask for forgiveness to her parents, because after all, she is a a daughter of her parents.

Now, she got a baby girl. Her responsibility as a solo parent will always be treasured and her goal continues to persuade and for sure be fulfilled at Phinma -University of Iloilo, because at Phinma -UI, you are making live better through education.

The students also feel that they are somehow engaged even though classes are done remotely. In our SSP classes, I ask them to reflect on their life by asking them to watch short inspirational videos.

As a faculty for 3 years connecting and teaching them what is right is a way on making their lives better through education. Through SSP it allows them to open themselves to us at the same time helping them physically, mentally and financially.

WHAT IS YOUR SSP STORY?

2022-07-05 03:23:40 UTC

I've been an SSP adviser for two years and have dealt with students who have a variety of life situations that can somehow interfere with their studies. As I've encountered and witnessed my students pursuing their studies despite their circumstances, I've become more aware of my responsibilities and role as an adviser to them. When I saw them continuing their studies in their senior years, it made me proud. as if my own child has accomplished something that will help them in the future.

SSP Story

2022-07-05 21:24:22 UTC

SSP helps every student reach their dream. Listening to their problems and the important one is that we understand their situation. We need to encourage them and remind them why they really want to graduate and reach their dream.

2022-07-05 23:36:50 UTC

SSP has been so helpful to students. They express their gratitude for having this program where they get to have a second home.
Students are free in expressing themselves and in telling their concerns to their advisers if not to their classmate friends in the program.

I believe this program helps the students realize that they can find solutions or answers to their problems or concerns by using the correct channel.

Most of all, students learn to be grateful for everything that they have and they can have a better life when they finish their degree and get a good job or start a business.

I am grateful to be one of the teacher advisers in PHINMA UPang who can help in making lives better through education.

SSP Story

2022-07-06 01:17:42 UTC

Through SSP, I was able to learn more about the types of students we have. I became not only their instructor, but also a friend to them. They become very vocal about their feelings, whether at home or in class. This made me realize that teaching requires not only sympathy but also empathy.

2022-07-06 08:09:52 UTC

When I was a student here in PHINMA COC before, I always find SSP as one of the subject that I love. Why? Because I am always being encouraged to keep moving forward. And right now, it is an honor for me to be one of the teachers that will give care and assistance to my assistance. I am excited and I look forward more in this journey.

New Experience

2022-07-06 13:10:47 UTC

As a new faculty member, I believe this would be a new experience. An experience because it is something that I have to encounter.

SSP serves as a better way of helping and guiding students with their studies or problems may it is personal or academics, this was also a great opportunity for us teachers to create impacts by giving them an encouraging words and hearing their concerns when times go weary.

Through this program it's an avenue for teachers of lending both ears to all the students' concerns and it feels good as a teacher to offer some help heartily in any kind for those students who are struggling financially, physically, emotionally, and academically. It's an opportunity and a privilege for me to be part of ones life wherein voices are heard and a shoulder to lean on. There's so many stories that I would like to share and I consider them as one of the great talks in SSP.

MY SSP STORIES

The M&M session is very helpful to help and to give advice to our beloved Students. They really appreciate that there is someone who can lend an ears for their rants in life. Through this I help them and I made them stay. I addition, it was very satisfying when you hear from your Student the Word "Salamat Ma'am/Sir sa pagtulong at pakikinig sakin" With this I can proudly say that I make lives better through education.

As a SHS teacher, part of our moral service is to assist students in their endeavor of "Making lives better through education." Phinma -Teacher ensured that all of the students that we interacted with were all on the right track to accomplish of their life goals.
SSP is a platform where I can not only share my academic knowledge, but also reach out to students who are going through personal struggles, which will help them become productive citizens someday.

My experience with SSP was great. I was able to know their individual stories and touch their lives. I consider them as my second family. I am not oy their teacher but I am also their confidante. I like it every time they share their stories whether it's sad or not. I always cheer them up not to give up on their dreams.

One of the memorable moment as a SSP Adviser is when I try to lift up the moral of the student that is already want to surrender his studies. I got the chance to know more on my students and help them on their problems.

2022-07-08 03:50:01 UTC

I have encountered thousands of students in my 5 years in PHINMA University of Iloilo and hundreds of SSP students. There are two things that standout in my journey.

I discovered that being an SSP teacher does not end in checking attendance and making sure that your students pass in their respective subjects. It is sharing your most valued learning in life, making sure that your students can cope with the challenges in life and are able to decide to do the right thing.
Now, seeing my former SSP students finish their college degree (also in PHINMA University of Iloilo) is one of the most rewarding experiences.. It felt like the feeling of a farmer seeing his crops ready to be harvested.

I have realized and experience so many things that is not thought in schools so many things that made me learn that teaching is more that imparting information and facts, but being able to touch lives thru your profession and it is truly an amazing experience.

MY SSP STORY

2022-07-08 04:14:26 UTC

This is just my second semester to teach at PHINMA-UPang. I am a graduate of this school and I thought I knew what it takes to survive and thrive in this environment but that all changed when I entered the SHS department. I was thrown into a whirlwind of tasks and responsibilities and I always cry at night because I don't know what to do because I was overwhelmed with everything that is happening all at once. I was about to let go of my career in teaching after my first semester but then I asked for discernment from God if I should still continue and I did get a sign. Beginning of the first week Hi, some of my students from last year messaged me that they are thankful for all the learnings and advices I had given them during our subject. They were also happy to know that I will still be their adviser for this coming school year. It made me realize that I do in fact can make a change and influence our youth to strive better and do better in their studies and in life in general. Always thankful that I am a part of PHINMA-UPang.

Student Success

2022-07-08 04:21:41 UTC

I view student success based on different performance indicators - passing rate, graduation rate, retention rate, etc. These are actually school's performance indicators in the long run but these data tell how successful the school is in keeping their students in school and perform well. The role of SSP is to ensure that students are kept on their right track so as to finish their education successfully by providing appropriate assistance on their concerns. If students are successful in their chosen career, the school also succeeds in performing its role as an educational institution.

Definition of Student Success

2022-07-08 04:22:41 UTC

For me the definition of Student Success is that if a student have successfully turn his/her dreams into reality what I mean was if a student have reach his or her goals in life was a true success for me specially if he or she have found it's own happiness and contentment that was a true succession for me.

SSP is not just guiding the students in their school concerns but also helping them to have a better life.

2022-07-08 04:57:35 UTC

Being a SSP Adviser is not just easy as teaching other subjects but a fulfilling task of a teacher. There's a lot of different stories of every student that needs to be heard. Make them feel that they can trust you as a adviser. You help your students in every possible way that you can do to them sometimes even if it is not part of your job because you want your students to have a better life in the future and always think to the mantra of our institution in MAKING LIVES BETTER THROUGH EDUCATION and always think PARA SA BATA.

It was all worth it.

2022-07-08 04:59:17 UTC

I was hired at PHINMA in the midst of the pandemic and in the middle of the semester. I was hired at the most challenging time, the transition to the new normal.

When I first introduced myself to my students through chat, I remembered how they said, "Ma'am, you're our 5th teacher in this class. All of them had quit without a word." That didn't bother me. I, who just got her 1st teaching job, enthusiastically told them without 2nd thought, "Don't worry, I will stay with you until you graduate. Just promise to tell me whatever your concerns are so I can help you."

True enough, my phone never went silent. Even in the most ungodly hours, students messaged me and told me about their problems. Their messages ranged from academic concerns to the most personal problems I never thought I would hear from these students.

There were times that I felt helpless. Most of those times, I felt exhausted. I wondered if I'm really doing something. But I never stopped trying to help them.

And now, it's been two years since I joined PHINMA. My students not only graduated, some of them are now my fellow PHINMA employees. And that is when I thought, "Ah. It was all worth it."

SSP-007

2022-07-08 05:54:23 UTC

SSP is a student driven plan that will developed to address every student's needs and interest. As a SSP teacher I consider my self as their adviser, facilitator to help them stay on their track and bring out their highest potential.

SSP as a Family For 5 Years of teaching SSP subject I can say that this subject will remind the students of becoming successful wherein success of our students is when they believe and do things with base on a high performance rating. Having SSP class is not really easy because you are the one who reaching out your students. Extra effort and a lot of patience with corresponding unconditional love for you to let your students feel comfortable. All their queries, concerns and other matters will be directed to you and you should do your best to answer it correctly and with accurate explanations. I can say that my students are achieving their own success when the things that they do makes them happy and fulfilled.

I can't share much about a story but there was a student of mine who hated me for being so hard to them. Later, he realized that I'm only showing tough love. A kind of love that I know will bring the strength they need to face the harsh life outside the school.

I don't have an experience with SSP yet, but to my own knowledge, it is about helping student achieve their dreams in life and become the best version of themselves.

Sasamahan kita!

2022-07-08 08:04:54 UTC

Making lives better through QUALITY education. I believe that our students can be successful when we give them numerous opportunities to do so. It all starts in my classroom. I actively engage and provide feedback to my students. SSP has been a great help in encouraging my students to continue their education in spite of challenges that they face.

2022-07-08 08:07:48 UTC

My SSP story started way back SY 2020-2021 where I was given a chance to handle and become an adviser of the freshmen students. This is really a new thing to me since it’s my first time handling this subject that is very interesting to me where we are given a group of students to follow up , update and of help if they needed to. Having experience this, I am grateful to part of their freshman journey, conversing and helping those students, hearing their stories makes me think that there so much more than being just a mere teacher that we can go beyond our capacities to extend whatever help and encouragement we can give. Indeed, this is one of many ways in making the life of our students better through education.

How would I define student success?

2022-07-08 08:08:37 UTC

Student success is not only measured by finally owning that diploma but it is measured on how much life has changed for you and your family after graduation.

"An anchor in this wild sea of challenges"

2022-07-08 08:12:37 UTC

A lot of students are facing different problems and how they deal with it. So we should learn that every student is different on how they deal with their problems. I would never get tired of motivating my students. I have a student who failed her CFE with me and cried after I told her, her score and really wanted to give up because she has a lot of INCs in her subjects. What I did was I told her that she's almost "there" she can almost reach here dreams. So I told her to take her retake exam and she really need to study her lessons more. So when she took her retake exam she got 80/100.

My SSP Story

2022-07-08 09:19:18 UTC

"Never let go of your Dreams"

A phrase I usually inculcate to each of my students especially in my SSP class. Being a teacher I believed that I should not only focus on the academic aspects of my students, but as well as on touching the heart of my students and this is through knowing their individual background and differences. And also, to make them feel that there is someone whom they can rely on. Through this, I could easily know where I could fill in the gaps, where I could support them reach their full potential for them to have a greener pasture for their future.

What is your SSP story?

2022-07-08 10:08:10 UTC

I, myself had to challenged myself how to become a "better" SSP instructor.

I thought it was easy, give the modules and follow on the requirements, and your done. Little did I learned, with my simple "kamusta Ka" message on my students could open up another direction.
Constant and compassionate communication could bridge the gap between instructor-student relationship. Beyond that, I have learned not just being an educator but an individual as well-that if you work by heart, you could really change lives.

"Indeed I can make lives better through education."

2022-07-08 11:24:48 UTC

MY SSP STORY...

I am the only child in my family. When people make this discovery, they immediately assume that I am spoiled and get all the attention in the world from my parents. People often tell me how much their siblings get on their nerves and how they wish they were only children. However, statements like those ignite a fuse in my mind. If only they could really understand what it is like to not only be an only child…

But a Breadwinner.

During my younger years, I thought it was pretty normal to be the only kid in my family. My parents only rely our finances to our sari-sari store. I have this mindset already during my high school days that our funds wasn't enough for my parents to send m e in college. Hence, I studied hard in order for me to get a scholarship which I did.

I am grateful to PHINMA -UI for honoring my scholarship since I got it from Sagay City, Negros Occ and this school is from Iloilo City.

During my years in PHINMA, my dean, teachers and college colleagues has been very supportive. Now, I am proud that I am a product of PHINMA and now part of PHINMA faculty.

2022-07-08 13:21:49 UTC

To become a successful student, you must endure hardship, sail with the high winds, and sacrifices everything to reach your goals thru education.

2022-07-08 13:26:12 UTC

As a new teacher, I define student success as something like a torch that gives light and strength. Seeing the students achieve their goals in life inspires me to be better in what I do and continue to push through helping every student dream big, overcome uncertainties, and even live life knowing that they have everything they need to prosper and win.

SSP Story

2022-07-08 13:26:39 UTC

I've only been an SSP adviser once, last semester, and I remembered how confused I was when I first learned about it. I was an alumnus of PHINMA UPang and we didn't have this subject before. However, after finally understanding what SSP is for, I remember thinking that I wanted our SSP session to feel comfortable. I always use our time to check up on my students, how their week went, or what they felt from the previous week. I didn't think too much of it, I just wanted to create a space of comfort and rest for my students. I know how draining it is to study, with all the activities, quizzes and exams so I wanted to make my students feel at ease everytime they have SSP class.

What made me think like "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!" was when one of my students messaged me and told me how grateful she was that I was their SSP adviser. They always felt heard, and comforted knowing that they have an adviser that is always willing to help them and monitors them to be able to continue studying. I felt moved, when I read the message. I am grateful as well to be an bridge that helps students reach their dreams.

MY SSP STORY

MY SSP STORY
In school, to make lives better through education, I not only shared knowledge and wisdom, but I also saw to it that their physical, intellectual, aesthetic, social, moral, volitional, emotional, and spiritual powers are developed in a well-balanced manner. The special talent uniquely endowed to the individual is drawn out (from the Latin etymology, "e"=out +"ducere=lead") and given focus after the general education has been adequately addressed by the learner.

My SSP Story

2022-07-09 01:04:03 UTC

Since this is only my 2nd year handling SSP, I don't have a lot of experiences to share. Still, I can say that SSP serves as an open book for our students to share their stories and open up to us about their grievances in life. However, I cannot resolve all of their problems, it makes me feel great and comfortable as their adviser that they appreciate us by sharing their problems and work hand in hand to resolve it, with that in mind I always make sure that no student is left behind, especially those who seek our help. It always starts with a simple gesture of being there when they need you that makes them feel that you do want to listen to them and you do want to help them, and with that, I can say that indeed we as teachers can make lives better through education.

SSP Story so far..

2022-07-09 05:48:07 UTC

I love how I can have the time and space to really connect with my students. A time where I dont have to be too strict. A time of vulnerability and sharing for both the adviser and the students. I have some students come up to me after my first term that they are grateful that they felt the concern I have for them. And thats when I felt like my life has a meaning. Touching the lives of others and my life being touched in return is something that is rare to find these days.

2022-07-09 07:15:58 UTC

Student success for me is using the education to make their lives better. Providing quality education to help their future in low cost.

I am making lives better through education

2022-07-09 07:47:10 UTC

Who can really influence students to believe that education is an antidote to poverty? This person who was orphaned at the age of 10 but has managed to rise and sent less privileged to school because of education.
Vision, empathy , guidance and inspiration are powerful enough to quicken languishing spirit of education students who most of the time come from marginalized sector.

SSP : Hindi ka nag-iisa

2022-07-09 09:39:14 UTC

SSP classes become students' safe space to vent out their struggles, problems, and experiences in school and even their personal problems. The monitoring and mentoring part of our SSP class is very helpful for our students who need mentoring for their studies and problems. True enough that not all students are capable to continue their studies. Through SSP sessions, we were able to identify and help the students who need financial support by endorsing them to student loans provided by our university. Indeed, we help our students not only in their studies but also with their struggles in life.

My First SSP Story

2022-07-09 10:13:46 UTC

My first experience was a blast. I've met diverse students with different versions of stories, interests, and dreams for their future. Teaching is selfless and helping is free but it pays you back with experience and learning. As an SSP adviser, being present in any way matters. Besides teaching them what they deserved to learn, being there when they need you makes them feel that there's a person who's willing to listen, help, or advised when they feel what they feels.

My SSP Story

cpcelestialui — 2022-07-10 01:53:02 UTC

I have students who expressed their gratitude to me for being always there especially when they needed someone to talk to. Some say they realized what really is their passion in life. With SSP, I was able to connect with my students more, particularly in our M&M sessions. They have different stories and views in life, but they share the same goals: to finish their studies and become successful professionals someday.

2022-07-10 02:30:51 UTC

Everyone has a dream in life that they want to achieve when they grow up. PHINMA Ed students are the ones who are eager to achieve their goals and dreams with all grit and passion.

As an instructor, to help these students make their lives better, we have to keep them motivated. Provide appropriate materials, and involve them actively in all learning activities.

SSP STORY

Hearing different stories from my students helps me to become more efficient and understanding teacher. Being a first time teacher in Phinma t'was hard for me to ajust but by thinking that my students need me more I honestly need to adjust quickly so i can provide good and quality education for them.

I'm about to handle SSP class. I am excited to handle it and at the same time help my students in achieving their dreams. SSP would surely help students in identifying what they truly want to achieve in life.

2022-07-10 08:13:30 UTC

SSP

2022-07-10 10:57:15 UTC

I have not yet meet my SSP students. But in my past classes, most of my students struggles in their lives. I always consider their situation. I am careful with my topics and real life examples. When they are trying to open a conversation with me, I always listen, and give some advices if needed.

A "Student Success" comes with specific "success deliverables". First, if a student got a passing or even higher grades in each course; second, if you ask a student why they chose a certain college program, he/she can give a specific and concrete answer; and, if a student can perform competently in a particular field. A "Student Success" can be also identified with milestones and it could be a form of recognition or a celebration because when we achieve something we always celebrate it, especially when we graduate from college. But, how can a student succeed? --it is with the guidance of his/her instructors. The instructors play a significant role in a student's success because we don't just provide the activities related to our course or discipline, but we are the ones who will mold what kind of a person our students should look like in our society. A "Student Success" depends on how teachers, instructors mold the students of what they should become in the future. Years from now, our students will remember the lessons that we taught to them and eventually, they will share these memorable experiences of learning to others as an inspiration.

Realizations

2022-07-10 12:32:17 UTC

I probably taught the most problematic group of students in the SY 21-22. Moreover, I was assigned as their SSP adviser. I have exhausted all my means to communicate to them in the first quarter of the second semester just because almost all of their subject teachers were asking for their outputs. All this time I never noticed that everytime I communicated to them, all I was saying are the problems. I changed my ways. I tried to lean on a little bit of "amigohon/amigahon" type of approach. With this, they started to open up a little. By the second quarter they started to pass in time. As time goes by, graduation came, they thanked me for listening wholeheartedly, for extending my patience to them. That is when I realized also, I'm a fighter, raising another fighter. And I was quite proud of myself.

"Student Success"

This will be my first time to handle SSP but I believe I have been seeing my colleagues on how they handled classes with SSP students, I believe I will be able to do it well. I believe that SSP will help students to cater their needs in different dimensions of life.

SSP helps me guide my students in achieving their full potential while pursuing their dreams. It allows me to be their "second" mother in school where they tell almost all their problems and I try my best to address these concerns with the best of my ability or refer it to the more knowledgeable focal persons. SSP made me rekindle the fire of passion in teaching. Being able to witness the growth of my students are enough to be my reward in this profession. :)

2022-07-11 01:21:54 UTC

This is my first time to be an SSP adviser and I am looking forward to be part of the students’ journey as well as impart my knowledge and wisdom to them with the help of the SSP program. I have heard so much from peers and students themselves that indeed SSP have helped them in small and big ways to ease their student lives as well as for the advisers to understand and be more involve with the students’ academic journey and personal struggles and successes.

I was indeed amaze how they still strive to do their best efforts in studying and doing their best in complying the activities and lesson. Some were hinder by poor connection or connectivity problems but still manage to attend class in any ways they could. I am indeed hoping and praying that for the successful journey of this students.

2022-07-11 06:13:34 UTC

Being able to talk to my students during our SSP Class has been inspiring, not because of the success stories of the students, but because of the various setbacks and problems that the students have conquered especially during the pandemic. They've been through a lot of things and yet they are still persevering to achieve their respective dreams. From simple kumustahans to listening to their rants and life stories, being an SSP Adviser really realigns what my main purpose is in the academe, and that is to help our students make their lives better.

2022-07-11 11:12:23 UTC

Teaching SSP is to know more who our Students are. Listening to the student's concerns regarding their grades and teachers. Giving more Motivations to study hard and making their families as their inspirations. Making lives better through education.

2022-07-11 12:32:57 UTC

My first SSP experience was challenging, but it was very satisfying to see the students doing their best, and I'm very proud of them. I also discovered from this subject that there are things I can do to help them succeed. Indeed, I can make lives better through education!". This semester, I will do my best to meet the needs and concerns of my SSP students.

2022-07-11 12:53:33 UTC

Being part of such BIG Family and practicing my profession at the same time makes this experience the most satisfying part of my life. Not just to educate students to the extent of my knowledge, I have learned and grown as a person and as a professional.

I have been in the academe for almost 7 years and I can say I would want to continue sharing what I have learned through time and give our students better reason to focus on what they want to achieve and help them every step to achieve it.

Being an SSP Adviser gives me idea on what this students are facing, making them realize the importance of each step their taking despite the hardships in life. I can say that for the time I spent having such small talks to my students and making them feel safe and for sometime making them enjoy a small talk without thinking that this is for compliance and making them feel relived.

Be an example for them, hear them and give them space to grow in just lending your time makes your student appreciate education. I then believe that each students must learn to enjoy their subjects passed it not just by complying but pass the subject knowing that they learned the very essence of each subject.

Indeed, I can make lives better through education!

2022-07-11 13:02:08 UTC

2022-07-11 14:45:10 UTC

As part of the university's efforts to make lives better through education, SSP had established educational support for our students by giving them assistance with their concerns so that they don't have to figure things out on their own.

2022-07-12 00:49:35 UTC

As a first time teacher and SSP advisor, I wouldn't have any stories I can share yet about any of my students. Though, if I were to look back at my college days, I could say that I envy them for having this subject. College has really been stressful for me. Having someone who listens and gives you advice for all the problems that you have is really something. It could really motivate someone to do better in their life.

2022-07-12 01:12:30 UTC

I only have a few stories because I am still a neophyte in this institution but "Kamustahan" is what makes me and my students closer in knowing each other better. This is such a vital part when it comes to them because this is the only way they can freely express themselves and effectively communicate with their teacher. You get to narrow down their worries and doubts with regards to their studies and even their personal lives. As a teacher, you are one of those key motivations to help our students accomplish their learning milestones. This actually do help our students to be productive in class and with their activities. This one I know because I get messages from them that say they really appreciate having a teacher and/or adviser whom they can reach out and talk to when they have no one. These times taught us that communication is the key to solve a lot of matters may it be personal or work related. We may have a lot of difficulties in life but it's great to know that we are not alone in this journey we call life.

2022-07-12 01:42:42 UTC

Student success is the result when we're making lives better thru education. Because education sums up the following: learning, focus, preparation, hard work, commitment, patience and failure.

jjsutiangsoup — 2022-07-12 02:17:40 UTC

Student Success Program (SSP) definitely help our students. SSP is one of the subject they enrolled that they can reflect on their lives and evaluate their life progress. In academe, this helps them diversify their class time to life reflecting issues as contrast to purely academic life. SSP also helps the students in the technical side such as scholarship promotions, tuition or loan assistance, enrollment assistance, etc.

2022-07-12 03:24:54 UTC

A student success is more than academic excellence. Successful students are those who empathize with people and their situation especially when those things are different or worse from their own life experiences and perspectives. In essence, student success is when they have possessed a great moral and character excellence.

MY SSP STORY
It is with great joy that I encountered wonderful students in SSP who have different personalities and behavior. Having these students ,it made me realized that each of us is special. We usually have our Kamustahan which I consider very important for them especially students encountered different problems in life. Sometimes I can act as a support system that is lacking elsewhere in students' lives.

It is a room for personality growth. an avenue to encourage students to pursue their goals and a session to teach students about life.

2022-07-12 06:03:54 UTC

At first, I thought SSP was draining for my part since I have to connect with the students not just intellectually but also emotionally. However, from time to time I enjoyed connecting with the students because it is fulfilling in my part to guide them as they gradually achieving their dreams.

Moreover, SSP moment is also where I see myself growing; hearing from different stories from the students render also a sense of learning to my journey as a teacher and as a human being.

2022-07-12 06:11:05 UTC

Every time I meet my SSP students, I share my personal experiences to them; I tell them that I also experienced the hardships they are currently experiencing. Because of this, I believe that they feel motivated and encouraged in continuing or pursuing their dreams.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"
The SSP taught me to treat every student as a person by showing empathy and consideration for any circumstances they may be experiencing. Differentiations in learning and thinking styles could be among those hidden difficulties. However, there might also be other conflicts, such those that are family or personal. When we show this quality then indeed.

Ensuring student success does not only comprise of academic excellence but more importantly of moral excellence and emotional maturity. If we want to see our students one day with the power to change the world and stand up for what they believe in, then we must aid not only with molding their minds but also their hearts. The molding of the heart can only be possible with constant nourishment through encouragement, providing safe spaces, creating healthy learning atmospheres, and most importantly - a listening ear. Listening to a student's concern ardently can go a long way. As teachers, our doors must and always be open. How we treat our students will echo through out their journey. So we must make sure that the echo will be a good one.

Student Success Program is also a success beyond limit.

2022-07-12 11:42:48 UTC

I have been handling SSP for 4 semesters and reading the journals of the students enlighten my mind. We are not only there to teach them academically but be part of their endeavor until they succeed after 4 years of battle with all the hardship they've encountered in their different subjects. They've been contained in their respective houses for almost 2 years due to the Covid 19 Pandemic with the use of Google Classroom, Facebook, and Group Chat in messenger helps alleviate the boredom and stress.
But the excitement and curiosity they felt by seeing again their classmates, friends, and Instructor motivated them to continue their aspirations and fulfill their dreams of having a successful career in the future.

SSP Love story

2022-07-12 11:56:16 UTC

I've been working as a confidante for a nonprofit organization in CDO. It is basically a listening movement in which we listen to individuals who have tales to tell, things to say, or just want to be heard, and I have been missing this platform ever since we took a break (because of the pandemic). Though this job will not pay you anything, the self-satisfaction that you will feel when you help someone (just by listening) is certainly a new type of happiness. So, because of SSP, I was able to continue doing what I love, which was to listen to stories. Learn from a variety of stories. So much insights going on between me and my students. We both learn from each other. So .. . for me, its everything!

2022-07-12 12:02:33 UTC

Through cross-functional leadership and the strategic use of technology, student success attempts to promote student engagement, learning, and advancement toward the student's own goals.

The progress and completion rates by themselves are insufficient to determine a student's success. At various stages of their higher education journeys, students have varying definitions of success. Success is as much a part of an institution's culture as it is in its classrooms and curricula.

Ito ang SSP Story ko.

2022-07-12 13:23:37 UTC

Teaching has never been an option as a career path when I was in college. In fact, I took up a pre-law course because it has always been my wildest dream to become a lawyer. When I graduated college, I thought of looking for a stable job in the government to support my law school dream, since I no longer wanted to depend on my parents for financial supports. However, things did not go as I have planned. I have tried to join job fairs for government services, but ended up having a some other jobs in several private companies.

Later in my career life, I have realized something is off and blunt in what I am doing. I thought of trying another career path that might uplift and awaken the spirit of excitement in me as a career woman, and at the same time will provide me for more time and opportunity to enroll to law school. And that is when I have decided to try a teaching career in the tertiary level.

I could still remember the first time I have stood up in front of my freshmen students, thinking how must I behave and I handle them in class. As I spent more of my time and years in this profession, I realized that happiness is really not found in the material things you have achieved as a professional. Salary and incentives may become a motivation but all these things are extrinsic. The moments when you get to hear those "Thank You Ma'am, naa rami natun-an karun"; "Ma'am salamat sa permi pag encourage through your lessons!", these lines may be normal lines you get to hear everyday, but these have become my inspiration to become more better in my teaching career. It has always lifted me up, and helped me found my passion in life. And now, in the 5 years in this profession, and witnessing how some of my past students have successfully graduated, I am always confident and proud to say that at some point of their student lives, I got to experienced being with them and guiding them in their success, and this thought have made me become beyond grateful and blessed with this career.

Making Lives Better through Education

2022-07-12 13:50:49 UTC

My definition of student success is when there is change happening to the student's life. A student is able to unlock his/her abilities with proper support he/she gets from his/her teachers, parents, and peers.

As a teacher, I can say that I have made a change to the student's life if I see his/her eyes glow and his/her face smiles. When they come to me thanking me of the works I have done that made them dream for even bigger goals .

I am a new SSP adviser this 1st sem.
Though I don't have yet experience, my own definition of student success is that they will be able to reach their goals despite of all the hardships and trials. I will try my best to guide my advisory class, that they should never forget what is their goal why they enter college so that they will not lose their track on studying.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-07-12 15:01:37 UTC

I can say that I indeed can make lives better through education because as NSTP teacher guiding my students in different concerns really helps them. I feel like our students are well guided in education and financial transactions in school. It is really great as well that as I do my job as a teacher, you can see that your students are also doing ng their job as a student. I can say that I am effective, I am a great help to every student that I encounter and I make lives better through education.

SSP Classes a.k.a. Open Forum

I've been an SSP Adviser for almost 5 years now and what I can say is that SSP Sessions served as a breathing class for my advisees as I just let them be themselves when we accomplish our modules. I let them speak up their minds, share what they feel, show their vulnerability, and wrap up the session by giving them quotes and learnings to ponder.

Reading all the beautiful stories from my co teachers here makes me excited to meet and get to know more about my students hidden stories in life. For me, my own definition of student success is when students at some point started to struggle, tends to stop dreaming and lose their motivation and when they feel that you support them and you feel the weight of the problems they carry and you fully understand what they're going through these things will serve as their motivation to stand up and be the best version of their selves because they know someone like their ssp adviser believes in them

I'm a newly hired teacher and what I can say about student success would be, if you have a dream and it's high up, you can feel overwhelmed. But when you look at it as just one step at a time, you didn't even noticing, that one day, you're gonna look up from your feet and you'll be at your destination.

I found more meaning to my teaching career. In this session that I come to know more and understand students' lives. Students become open about their dreams. And fortunately, with the teacher's support, encouragement and motivation, their fears of the uncertainties is faced with determination to push through with their dreams. Their individual dreams that hold the rope which lifts them from falling.

2022-07-13 04:07:41 UTC

As a teacher, SSP classes helped me realize the things I can do for my students. It exposed me to a lot of happy and heartbreaking stories of the students. It influenced me to become more compassionate and concerned about my students’ welfare.

SSP is really helpful to the students ,the need someone to share their problems and someone who can lean on .

Honestly, this is the first time that I handle SSP, but for me it's a big thing to be able to teach student. We learned not only about the child's personality but how to help them be successful. As a teacher, we also need to be open to everything that is happening, listen and be good motivator.

this is my first time to handle SSP, as teachers, we have to inspire our students, we have to motivate them. Let us help them, and let them know that we are no just their teachers, we are their friends, their family.
I will not forget these words from my students, "Masaya pala ang Math." "Sana sa susunod na Math ikaw po ulit ang teacher namin." "Parang gusto ko na rin pong maging teacher."

2022-07-13 05:47:07 UTC

As i recall my experienced as SSP adviser, it was a beautiful thing that had happened in me as a teacher and a member of the PHINMA Education network. At one point, being a SSP adviser i was able to help the student to overcome their struggles in terms of their academic journey as a freshmen. Since the program became the venue for them to unload there baggages in life. It bacame the room to share their problems, concerns, success or even disappointment in life. The SSP program makes them grow and a strong person (students) to continue to fight tge struggles they encountered as college student. And on the other hand, the program also helps me to become more passionate in my profession and to extend my fatherly figure towards my students. To support them not only in their academic journey but also in their personal and social life.

I've learned that my students were lack of self confidence, irresponsible, others were self centered individual but along the way as I mentored them, I can see that there were developments by just simply communicating to them always. Communicating to them is a big factor to build rapport and trust.

As an SSP adviser for more than 10 years, I had priceless memories with my students. I treat them as my real kids and ALL of them are equally special in my heart. Our SSP sessions created a BIG family where we create rooms for personality development, academic ladders, responsibility, socialization, etc. I consider it as our HOME- a safe space for everyone.

Handling SSP subject is life changing because with this subject your role was not just their teacher but also a friend and a family. I get to know my students more and their struggles. Giving hope and advises were fulfilling for me.

2022-07-13 08:47:33 UTC

SSP is one step to every student how to be a responsible, having a big faith and a bridge that will help them to reach their goals in life. As a student president before, I am always having that moment in engaging every student how to keep on holding on their dream, touch their their hearts by giving advices that will help them and I will use that also now that I am a new teacher.

As educators, we are not only teaching them the lessons, giving them recitations, teaching them on how to become a better one but also we must be a helping hand to become the successful one. By having all the lessons from the past, I will use that to help and mold all the students and inspire them to be a better version of themselves.

Seeing the smile on the faces of my students in SSP makes me more happy. Simple questions like "Kumusta ang studies niyo/personal life niyo" makes them happy and at ease. That is why, we should always embrace them and give them all the wisdom for them to become a successful one.

Back when I was still not an employee of PHINMA, I met someone who used to study very hard. He is a native in Bukidnon and his family cannot afford to send him to school. What he did was he left their house after graduating in basic education with the permission of his parents and tried his luck in Cagayan de Oro to earn a degree. He lived with his father and step-siblings despite having a hard time adapting because he is an illegitimate son. He worked in different jobs and pursued studying until he got accepted in PHINMA-COC and was granted a full city scholarship. He studied really hard because his only hope was the scholarship that he got. He did not have enough money. He even experienced sleeping in a hungry stomach and studying in spite the hunger many times. He also experienced going to with an empty stomach and only drank water to ease his hunger. He was very thin and dark during his college years. He was having a hard time sustaining himself but he did not give-up until he finally graduated and passed the board exam. He was very grateful to PHINMA-COC because he really felt belonged. Despite his unfortunate circumstance, he never felt discriminated and left-out. Now, he is already a member of Philippine National Police- Special Action Force. He is actually my husband. He is the one who inspires me to teach in COC and help students who have the same experience as him.

I haven't handled SSP class yet since I'm a fresh graduate from PHINMA-University of Pangasinan, and a newly hired faculty of my Alma mater. However, I've been in UPang for 6 years now, ever since my shs days.

I can vividly remember how my pasts advisers encouraged us with full of motivational tips, teaching us how to have a more better mindset that could make us grow. They listened to our very story, might be full of happiness, depressing, with excitement, and they absorbed all those things just to show that they're always there to be an ear that listens to whatever kind of story that we have.

And I praise them with utmost respect for showing unconditional patience and care that they have for their students, and I'm glad that I am part of those "STUDENTS", now I believe, surely that SSP is the STUDENT'S SUCCESS PROGRAM.

The experience I had while teaching SSP was hearing to the students' worries about their personal, financial, and academic issues, as well as observing various student attitudes and behaviors.

It's my first time handling SSP class last year.

Being a first time adviser handling SSP class in this time of pandemic was never easy for me. I don't know where to begin and approach my students back then. But, God is working in mysterious way and help me to put up courage to start my class with a grateful heart.

As the time passed by, I notice something of being an SSP adviser has a lot of role. They become an instant call center, encourager, therapist and stage mother which challenge me more to become a teacher.

I enjoyed giving them my extra time as much as I can and appreciate their effort. With all of those hard works, I can now say that their efforts will be paid-off and Glory to God all of them will graduate and move to college. Indeed, it was a great experience and fulfillment for me seeing them reaching their dreams.

Driven by my fervent desire to continue working in the academe, I am looking forward to embark on a whole new journey with a diverse group of people, having a steadfast determination to complete their education. I personally view student success as one that endures beyond theoretical understanding, hence, it penetrates deep down to their character as a person and transform these class theories into practical use.

I always see my students' success in a unique light. I enjoy seeing my students' personalities develop alongside their knowledge of their chosen courses.

I've been an SSP Adviser for a long time from Shs to College, and I've come across many hidden life stories of my students that were mostly confidential. I learned a lot of stories about courage, determination, and confidence to achieve that goal. Doing the "Kamustahan" session, particularly during the pandemic, asking them "How was your day?" is so much mean to me. Honestly, when pandemic happens, I am about to give up. I am not good at technology but thanks to my colleague, my friend "Thank you". I'm doing my best to become more active day and night and during class session especially in my ssp. As says "Susuka pero hindi susuko" this particular word reminds me a lot. "Indeed, I can make lives better through education".

Student's successes are Teacher's too.

SSP class does not only provide a safe space for students to feel free about their self, perspective of life and building rapport with others but a great venue where they feel they are worth it, needed, loved and valued. If these traits are being felt by the students, they are more likely to develop a positive outlook in life. Not mentioning the constant communication we extend beyond office hours; something that will make them feel we understand them. When our students succeeds, it gives a meaningful definition why we are in this mission. SSP is more than just a class, it's a HOME.

And it is always my joy to see former SSP Students after four years of more having the jobs that they have dreamed for themselves. I call the perks and joy of being an SSP adviser.

My experiences in my NSTP journey as an advisor was different from my PE Classes. I was able to handle different students with different stories, personalities and difficulties. Hearing their heart-felt stories were admirable and inspiring. I was able to learned a lot of things to them at the same time. I believe I was able to do my task well and made their lives better through education.

When I get involved with SSP subject I was like "oh... this is so mind-bugging" knowing that we need to extend our hands and efforts to go through our students experiences academically and family affairs.
But as the time went by, I just realized that we made an effort to make them believed that they are worthy to be given attention and deserved to be cared of and be monitored all the time because no one will understand their sides academically but it us who have been in this profession for a quite period of time. And what is very rewarding? Seeing your students migrating to the next year level and knowing that they are full of hopes for the next years to come as they overcome the challenges they went through despite of the pandemic that we are facing now-a-days.

The first thing that comes into my mind when I was given a SSP class is that "Makaya ba kaha naku ni nga klase nga wala man kuy hanaw ani?" when I first started teaching I was hesitant and confused . But, I realized something important, getting to know your students weaknesses and strengths allows me to become more aware of how important it is for me guide them, to help them, to motivate them. That is why as a teacher, I wanted to help my students the best way possible so that they may achieve their dreams and aspirations in life.

This photo was very memorable to me. It's our culminating activity in NSTP last SY 2016-2017. The true measurement of the success of a teacher is not really his MA or PHD degree, but rather in touching the lives of the students through imprinting memories that can be last forever. Although it's a culmination activity, it's not really the end,but rather the beginning of our friendship.

Most of the students are somehow reluctant to approach their instructors/teachers. Using the Student Success Program (SSP), students are now more open to share their personal conflicts as opposed to the former. Certain students are now able to share their stories to us and that we can respond in an appropriate manner and guide them to the best course of action to be made. With the help of this program, students will be encouraged to complete their education and increase their chances of finding success in life. In the end, when you see all your students succeed, it is the most rewarding thing you will ever feel. Especially those students whom you have helped.

SSP Program is a big help for both teachers and students because it connects the teacher to students conversely. In my almost 4 years of teaching, I have encountered different stories while doing my M&M and it felt so good knowing that your presence and your way of listening to them made them feel better. Seeing my students proceed to the next level made me realized that by guiding them and listening to them, although in a simple manner, I help them making their lives better.

My SSP Story

2022-07-18 08:07:18 UTC

I thought that teaching NSTP is easy, but I was wrong because I was there to teach about life. Knowing that I'm young, I don't have enough experience in life for me to share. I don't know if I was able to inspire them. Fortunately, the module guided me on what to do during our class. The activities were aligned with the lesson objectives. It helped them discover and develop themselves to become better in every aspect of life.

So far, I was able to connect with my students even if it's thru virtual. They showed and told me that they were grateful for having me as their adviser. They said that I inspired them a lot. It made me think that I did something good. I also learned many things about life from their stories. It was a worth-it journey.

There is nothing more rewarding than knowing and seeing the evidence that you’ve made an impact on someone’s life. Have you ever heard students get discouraged and say things such as: "Kapoy nako ma'am, Dile nako kaya ma'am, Muundang nalang guro ko maam!" These students need their teachers to figure out how they can support them and encourage them. The feeling you get when these students turn those statements around and into, “Yes, nalampasan rajud nako ma'am! I am so proud of myself,” is absolutely priceless. Don’t let your students give up and never ever give up on them either. We live for those moments. Being an SSP adviser is such an amazing experience. :)

Teaching can make a difference in the student’s life. One of many things I have learned from teaching SSP is being understanding. Once we try to understand our students and their situation, they will be the best version of themselves knowing that they have teachers who make them feel comfortable and make them feel they belong.

What is your SSP Story?

2022-07-19 00:59:26 UTC

Student Success Program is a one way to know and understand your students in a more concrete way.

During our kamustahan one-on-one session with my students , indeed I can say that don't judge the book by its cover , because you don't know the story behind every faces they make everyday. They act like this and that because of their own battles and criticisms they have to fight every single day to their families and even socializing people around their community.Hearing different stories in students will make you think and understand about your role as a teacher and as adviser as well. Although I admit that I am not good at advising or talking with this kind of situations but the moment that you listen to their stories makes their heart at ease and in peace.

As a teacher, and a role model as well, you have to be there for them, to guide them and lead them , to uplift them in a right way to become successful in their ventures in life.

As a newly hired teacher, my definition of student success is when students able to gain not only the knowledge but also the skills that will help them adapt in any environment. So as a teacher, it is not only providing knowledge or information to students but also helping the students to realize their potentials and how unique they are.

I always tell my students that SSP Class is not about the school, it is not about me, but it is about them, my STUDENTS. SSP Class is not just about monitoring who has modules and books, or who are those who haven't paid their tuitions; but this is a venue where we can know more about our students so we can understand them better. I also give activities (not in the modules) that can help them know themselves more and also where they can showcase their skills and talents. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to reach out on a deeper personal level with my students and hoping I can inspire and motivate them to achieve their goals and bring out the best in them.

Technically speaking, students’ success can be beneficial, not only to their own family, but to the community in general. It adds to the web of professionals, specializing certain set of skills acquired from proper training and education. It also lowers down the rate of underemployed and unemployed in the country. More so, student’s success can also be viewed as the success of the teachers and the school. It reflects the quality of education that the school has offered.

2022-07-21 05:38:14 UTC

SSP is very helpful to our students and for teachers as well. It helps them keep on track of their goals in life. It is also a way to make kumustahan with them to know their situations not normally discussed in academic subjects. SSP is where we can extend our help in following their dreams, guiding them until they graduate on time.

My own definition of student success aligns with PhinmaEd aims to achieve. It is truly a great satisfaction for teachers to see their students excel in the future.

Normal Day for me during last year semester to contact my SSP students same day i try to contact my student because she didn't submit a module for our last week session. when she pick up her phone i notice that her voice is different i already conclude that their something wrong and yes I'm correct because she been crying for some reason about her family. as adviser I try to my best to share my experience also during i was in college lucky she said that " kung kaya mo pala sir syempre kakayain ko rin to." as a ssp adviser we discovered a lot of struggle, problems sometimes pressured about their studies but on correct approach long range of explanation we can able to help them to achieved their goals and dreams in life.

2022-07-21 06:59:09 UTC

SSP class made me know deeper my students. I was given a chance to share my stories and other inspirational stories especially in motivating them to keep on keeping on with their dreams. I was able to guide my students in every concern that they raised. As I look back, my fulfillment is to see them being one with their dreams.

2022-07-21 07:20:14 UTC

Student Success Program is a subject which plays a vital role for us teachers and students. Here is a venue for kumustahan and also for Mentoring and Monitoring, therefore most of my students feel the sense of belongingness.

Have handled several SSP Classes for past years, and it is indeed a handful experience but in a good way. It's like experiencing life in other's point of view, in this case thru the eye s of my dear students. Teaching is not something to take lightly, there's more to it. It's a mission, that I full hearted signed up for.

Student Success

2022-07-21 07:30:33 UTC

Student Success for me is being happy with every small achievement that comes along the way. I consider this a success because I know what is the feeling of being uncontended and unfulfilled.

As a teacher, I always say to my students that they should always be grateful and thankful even if the situations are not according to what was planned.

Me,Myself and SSP

2022-07-21 07:58:53 UTC

An envisioned strategy to reach out to our students. These kamustahan sessions with our students have open the doors to better communication to students with school programs and activities.

2022-07-21 08:13:54 UTC

I have been part-time teaching for several years with other schools and as a new teacher with Phinma, and the greatest achievement of my career, so far, is to see the next generation of students take their next step toward success.

My advisory last semester was really a challenging one because out of 26 students only 5 of them were active in remote coaching and I had difficulty contacting those who were not active. Every deliberation I felt so down because there wasn't any improvement. However upon monitoring and motivating them, I made it! Most of the students from my advisory passed the 2nd semester and only a few of them got retained. :)

2022-07-21 09:03:01 UTC

As a Student Success Program adviser, I got to know my students plans in the future. They have different short-term goals and that is to study and graduate from College. But what is even more touching is when they talk about what they will be 5 years from now. Most of them focus on helping their family by providing financial support and be successful so that their parents will be proud of them. Most importantly, they want their parents sacrifices to be paid off someday. With this program, I get inspired as a teacher and hopefully to inspire my students as well.

3 years being a PHINMA ED Instructor.

2022-07-21 09:31:54 UTC

As I started teaching, wayback 2019. I have a lot of what ifs, will I be an effective classroom instructor, a good adviser or a team player. But when they my head gave me an SSP advisory, this is where I have became more engaged to my students, my doubts to myself has been lifted and I have became more motivated. Giving some advise, being their support system can actually boost your confidence, and seeing them more engaged and studying really hard makes me more happy because I know deep in my heart, even at the smallest possible way, I took part of their success in the future.

2022-07-21 10:57:07 UTC

I can help make the lives of my students better through education by sharing my knowledge and wisdom on the journey that they are currently taking.

Meaning of Student Success

2022-07-21 12:32:58 UTC

I believe that a student's success is also his/her teacher's success. That is why here at PHINMA UPang, we strive to give the highest quality education to help our students unleash their fullest potential.

SSP

2022-07-21 12:56:16 UTC

SSP allowed me to connect with my students on a deeper aspect. Their stories and life situations give me an insight and deeper understanding on how should I handle them individually.

2022-07-21 13:59:29 UTC

Our SSP class is one way of letting our students feel that we genuinely care about their growth, making them understand that within the school ground their mentors can also be their good friend and usually be their second parent outside of their household. We were able to build trust and develop their communication skills.

MAKING LIVES BETTER THROUGH QUALITY EDUCATION

2022-07-21 14:29:49 UTC

As a new employee, I believe I still have a lot to learn, not only from my seniors, my colleagues but as well as with my students. It's fun but challenging as well to handle SSP subject. We were able to connect with our students which is very effective way for me.
It's been my passion to teach even I was in different field, thanks to my great instructors before who inspired me and brought that passion out of me.
My goal is to be part of my student's success. I want them to feel in the future the satisfaction I am feeling right now everytime I was able to teach my students well. I want them to be happy and inspired of what they are doing, simply because my student's success is also my success and their failure is also mine. They say as their teacher, it always reflects on you which I believe is right.
Todays student's definition of success is having a good and quality education. And I think we were able to be part of it. Student's success means reaping all their efforts, hardships, sacrifices and making their dreams and their parent's dreams come true.
I may still a beginner but I can relate on them, I was once a student like them and somehow I can see my old self through them—that's what makes me more eager to teach them, to touch their lives and to help them have a better lives through the best and quality education. And thanks to Student Success Program, it becomes easier and more effective.

Well, have you heard about the butterfly effect?
It's the idea of doing small changes— slowly but surely process that still makes a big differences.

Through multi-disciplined leadership and the thoughtful use of technology, Student Success Programs foster student engagement, learning, and advancement toward the students' own objectives.

2022-07-22 01:52:41 UTC

Handling SSP is a big responsibility since you are going to deal with your student’s personal life/feelings and you’re going to treat them as your “anak” and understand what are they going through their lives.

MAKING LIVES BETTER THROUGH EDUCATION

2022-07-22 01:57:51 UTC

I didn't know what it meant by describing the teacher as a noble profession not until I handled SSP for the first time in 2018. It was the time I realized that this is my life's mission after hearing the different interesting stories of my students that whenever they share their dreams and aspirations, there is a glimpse of courage and hope I could see in their eyes, dreams that require motivation and support and that I saw the significance of a teacher who has the heart in teaching.

2022-07-22 02:00:00 UTC

It is a great feeling to know that my students proceed to college and I am so grateful to be part of the people who made them realize what they want to be in the future. And I am so amazed this year because our SHS students before are now our co-teachers who will also be inspiring and helping students to realize their dreams.

I'm a fresh graduate and product of PHINMA-UPang truly SSP is a great way where PHINMAEd can help guide and bring their students to the finish line, moreover they also go beyond what is required of them and supports their student even after graduation.

When I was first assigned to be an ssp adviser I was a bit hesitant as I was not sure if I would be able to connect with the students, but I know that being an educator does not only mean teaching, our students need our support and they need someone to listen and give them advice. I am glad that I was given the opportunity to handle ssp subject as I am able to share my own experiences and encourage students not to give up and to continue reaching their dreams

Rely on. Because i believe establishing and good relationship and communication can help finding the roots of issues affecting the children academic performance.

In my class i always make sure that they can feel safe and comfortable.
And the results is good. The students are not hesitating to open up and tell their concerns.

What is your SSP story?

2022-07-22 04:59:36 UTC

Being an SSP faculty I am responsible of making students perception widen their curiosity and expand their eagerness on their studies to be more responsible to their own worth specially when they achieve their dreams as a Registered Nurse. I always tell them to think of their parents, look at their parents how they work for them, have an effort to bring them to school, and look at their situation. I do always remind my students to have fear in God and have a goodheart always, because becoming a Nurse always have a good heart, whatever the situation and personality, status, appearance of the patients, always have a good heart. Be patient to patients.

SSP STORY

2022-07-22 05:05:18 UTC

As a newly hired faculty, SSP is new to me in this aspect. But as a former student of this school it is familiar to me. This program helped me to be familiar with my students, making us closer together through meeting one another without the pressure of that of a formal class. I became familiar with their goals and it is a good thing to know that they have dreams to achieve, making me want to help them more through my profession to reach those dreams. I could see and experience that the school's aim to make lives better is not limited to academic but wit a touch of personal relationship with everyone.

Do More. Give More

2022-07-22 05:13:50 UTC

In the Basic Education Department, we always go beyond, we always do more.

Teachers in the basic Ed are sometimes misjudged as being strict or hard hearted when we reprimanded students or when we give lower grades expected by the parents. What others don't see is that we always give more than expected from us and we always do more beyond the call of our duty. We do not only reach out to our students but also to our students' parents, even answering queries and calls late at night.

At the end of the day, those who see our efforts will always be grateful.

2022-07-22 05:59:17 UTC

As a newly hired teacher, I define Student success as achievement of student's goal in life, which is to finished his desired course out of honest work and sacrifices. As a teacher, I will try to instill this to the minds of my students

Making lives better through education

2022-07-22 06:02:33 UTC

As a faculty, thru SSP, I get to share my personal experiences in relation to the concerns of my students. I can be something they are able to relate to and learn from. I get to touch lives in simple ways.

SSP Stories

2022-07-22 06:04:36 UTC

The SSP course teaches students that there is no easy route or shortcut to achievement. Despite the ups and downs, family, friends, instructors, and the institution are all there to assist them achieve their goal.
It is also a tool for monitoring, guiding, molding, and training students to face problems and assist them achieve their life's major purpose.

2022-07-22 06:07:08 UTC

Teaching SSP lets you hear your students on what they personally feel about something. And as their teacher, your role is to understand what they’re going through and make them feel that you are their trusted parent not only when you handle them for the semester, but their lifetime go-to-buddy when they have their problems

Over the years I have known students in the college who had many adversities in life but have also shown flashes of great potential to succeed. Many of them were shifters who wasted precious time languishing in other programs that didn't make them motivated. I take pride in welcoming them to the program that I'm affiliated with, and I have now a long list of highly successful graduates who were once these troubled students. And their acknowledgments of my efforts to guide them? Priceless, even more valuable and rewarding than my monetary compensation as a teacher.

Making a Difference

abbartolomeup — 2022-07-22 07:49:05 UTC

A student's success is about overcoming the hurdles he may encounter in life, especially while he is still in the process of reaching his dreams. As teachers, we have the choice to make a difference in a student's life. We can have short kumustahan sessions or catch-up sessions with our students to makere doing okay. Yes, being strict inside the classroom is a way for the students to learn discipline and respect, but we also need to ensure that they know, outside of the school, they can open up with us, and they can seek help and guidance from us--being we are their second parent in school. As teachers, we can show appreciation and praise when it is due and encourage them, as we know little encouragement and appreciation come a long way in their eyes and gives them enough push to continue and pursue their dreams.

Academic Advising

2022-07-22 08:20:51 UTC

I believe SSP is similar to our Academic Advising in the BasicEd department. Since I became a class adviser, I always make sure to utilize the academic advising to connect with my students. Through Acad Advising, I was able to know my students more. I discovered their interests, their strengths and weaknesses, their aspirations, and also their struggles. When pandemic struck, things changed, especially how I conduct my Acad Advising. But I did not let the crisis stoppedgave. Thus, I devised and found a way to still connect to my students despite th restrictions. I came up with what I call "Friday Wrap-up". I utilized it to get to know my students. I even tried doing new things in my sessions. Instead of just me lecturing to them, I gave them opportunity to express themselves. Letting them realize that I am with them in their academic journey. I guess it paid off!

SSP STORY

2022-07-22 08:30:24 UTC

Teaching for almost 7 years is such a humbling and fulfilling experience, but what makes it more rewarding is seeing my students transformed and slowly reaching their dreams. indeed, to teach is to touch lives, and I am so proud to be the shaper of the young individuals becoming a functional member of the society.

What is Student Succeess?

2022-07-22 09:47:12 UTC

As a first time teacher handling SSP, I can say that student success is all about achieving the student's target goals. Whatever their goals are that they wanted to achieve whether it is short term or long term as long as they can achieve it no matter how long will it take, means that the student became successful.

Being an SSP adviser helps me to get to know more of my students and share my experience in a way to inspire them despite all the challenges they are facing. It makes me complete.

Indeed, I can make lives better through education!

2022-07-22 12:16:42 UTC

Watching my students passed their subjects is really fulfilling for me. Sometimes they asked for advice on how they can pass their subjects and I also motivate them to not stop on getting their goal or dream. Have time for themselves, to pause but not to stop. Whenever they need help on certain things I do really try my best to give them solutions and also to seek help with my co-instructors if its beyond my ability. Also one more important thing in order for me to give the best quality education they need is by doing the best as I can to deliver a clear and correct discussion to them. To guide and support them throughout the whole session, to make them feel that they are welcome to ask for any concerns, problems they have, and to make them feeel that they are part of this growing community that we have.

2022-07-22 12:49:29 UTC

As a former student of PHINMA, now an adviser of this subject, it helps me to pass on to someone or to my whole class the exciting and nurturing moment that I have experienced during my academic years in UPANG. Being an SSP Adviser now is a privilege because it will not only help the students to grow but it will also teach me to be grateful for the opportunity to get to know more the students.

My SSP Story

2022-07-22 12:51:15 UTC

This is my first time handling SSP. For me SSP is that you connect with your student but connecting with a heart and a very attentive listening. As SSP teacher or adviser you will be the platform to raise the voice of the student through proper support so that they will be able to achieve their goals and aspiration in life.
Lately I have ask one particular question to them and I was amazed by their simple answer. This answers leave a mark in my heart. Through this you can see through them not just physically but the real them.

I tried helping her by mentioning to our SSP Adviser the case and to the CSDL office since I got to have friends in the office back then. I was amazed with the retention team that helped her get back to school and now she's just a step away from board exam. Still always humble and grateful.

3. From what perspective are you teaching from?

Making Lives Better through Education

2022-07-22 16:12:43 UTC

I've been in this institution for 13 years already and the four years of that is me trying to change my life from my hopeless economic status as a college student coming from a poor and low income family to what I am now, a happy and employed individual living my dream profession as a teacher. Well, being a student back then was kind of hard and challenging for me because aside from the reason that I lacked a lot of resources especially financial, I also needed to maintain a grade not lower than 2.0 in order to maintain my scholarship from this institution. Thankfully, I managed to maintain my scholarship thru God's guidance. My teachers, family and friends back then were the instruments of my success. Yes, I was able to graduate with honor and was absorbed to teach in this institution right after my graduation. Thanks to PHINMA COC for making it happen. You see, if not because of my great teachers who have helped me grow by molding me to be better and by giving me quality education, I would have not live up to my dream now at present. Thankful beyond measure to PHINMA COC. This success is one of the things that I always remember because behind my success were great teachers, friends and school who knew how to build strong scaffolds for a better future. And this is what I am doing for almost 9 years now. I am doing the best of my ability to teach my kids the things that will help them build their own solid foundation during formative years. So by the time they move up to the next level, it won't be very hard for them to assimilate and learn. I am always grateful to COC and I'll make sure to contribute something good for my students as what my teachers have done to make my life better thru education. A big thank you.

Definition of a student success

2022-07-23 16:05:03 UTC

When asked what defines student success, most people would likely respond "maka graduate" which is true. But putting the bigger picture aside, for me, a student's success is defined by the daily victories they experience. It might be finishing a project despite having limited resources, participating in an online class despite having a bad internet connection, or acing a test after spending many late nights preparing.

Although they may appear trivial, these are the things that motivate students to keep going even on the days when they think they are unable to. That is why we must not only congratulate students on their major achievements, but also on being able to get through every day.

MY SSP STORY- went well!

2022-07-24 06:23:24 UTC

Aside from being a SHS Faculty, I`ve been assigned as a SSP adviser in STEM12 of 2 sections.

The first thing I`ve done is to add them in our SSP GC. We have to get the checklist that based from the Program Head`s Instructions. It went well because through our Virtual kamustahan and orientation, we`ve got to know ourselves and each other. And us we go on to the discussion in SSP, we`ve tackle the PEN VALUES that making more attentive. I`ve ask also asked their Goals and the course that they will take after the Senior high. Most of them are going to take engineering, architecture, pilot, medical courses like, nursing, medtech, pharmacy, and doctor. and some are not yet sure to take a course. I I know that all of them are willing to do more and have a lot of characteristics. I`ve used to get their Motto in life, that makes them more mature and have the driven force to go in life most especially in their studies.

I believe that all of the thoughts, values, skills, and life experiences of these students/learners will help them confident to achieve their goals. As their adviser, I promised to them, that I am always here to support them and help them to attain the success that they want on their life and success for their families.

I define success as a combination of Process and Product. It will not be successful for a person without taking an action and having the right mindset. The success is like a trophy or an evidence of your time, effort, and the different values that you`ve possess until you reach the desired outcome, goals, and dreams.

It will be my first time to be an SSP adviser. I'am excited to help or guide students to pursue their education despite the negativities of life.

2022-07-24 09:24:40 UTC

This is my first time handling SSP Advisory position. During our seminar, one of the speaker asked us what was the word that comes into our mind after learning about SSP and the word that came into my mind was "Guidance and Counselling", I have a background in the field and I am happy i can somehow use my skills. I hope I can be at my best to provide the best experience for my class.

Student Success

2022-07-24 13:17:34 UTC

It is a huge success for a teacher if his/her students fulfill their dreams. Success is not just about having a great job or earning a lot of money; it embodies holistic development. At school, when the teacher discusses a lesson, he/she would relate the example to real-life situations; this influences the students' perspective. A teacher does not just teach the mere subject but also discusses values and life insights. To extrapolate, students' success starts with the teacher's way of influencing and encouraging them to pursue education no matter what hurdles come their way. As a newly hired teacher, this is my perception of students success.

As a first timer handling SSP here in PHINMA-UPANG, monitoring the success of the students is the most fulfilling job I will have. The SSP will be a great help not only for students but especially parents of the students who are looking for the future of their children, seeing them succeed in life will make them proud. I, as a teacher will also have the chance to talk to some students who are having difficulty with their subjects, by this I can say that I can make lives better through education.

SSP

2022-07-25 03:13:31 UTC

SSP advocates active learning, new opportunities and can build meaningful friendship. The students get the chance to communicate with others and make a better life.

SSP is one of the subjects that helps the students to reflect their sole purpose in their journey. Nowadays, students suffers from midlife crisis wherein they're losing their drive to pursue their dreams. SSP became one of the key to reopen their doors to infinite possibilities. As I remind them, if the road you're taking seems futile, unending, and bumpy, you must construct your own road.

2022-07-25 03:36:59 UTC

2022-07-25 05:50:31 UTC

Student Success

2022-07-25 11:39:15 UTC

As a teacher, our role is to ensure the positive learning environment of our learners and to provide the best quality education that every child deserves to receive and that is the most important tool a person can have in life and to make their lives better.

I am a new employee but not a new teacher, I had a 2 years experience of teaching. I remember when one of my former students told me "Ma'am, thank you po dahil sa mga turo at tulong po ninyo nalaman ko po kung saan ako magaling at masaya po ako at ipagpapatuloy ko po ito." I just realized that we indeed can make lives better through education even in our own little ways.

Student Success is a sum of all efforts, responsibility and perseverance that leads to a brighter future. Success is not always about winning but it includes failures and not giving up easily. Student Success is one of the greatest achievements of a teacher.

SSP Story

2022-07-25 12:36:38 UTC

I have not yet handled SSP class but I will this school year. As a teacher it is always my goal to help students define their success by achieving it no matter how rough the road is. I want to instill in my student's mind that we will celebrate everyone's successes and help each other to do the "hilaan pataas" mindset, at the same time be with each other at every stumble we might face.

Definition of Student Success

2022-07-25 13:49:59 UTC

Student Success for me is the fulfillment of the mission given to the teachers/advisers and the institution. It is seen when the lives of the students become better through the quality education that we offered or gave to them. To see your students reaping the fruit of their labor and sacrifices is a rewarding pleasure for the teachers who guide, inspire, motivate, and love them. If we did our part as teachers, we can say, indeed, we can make lives better through education. We are one in achieving our mission.

The term, "SUCCESS"

2022-07-25 14:02:27 UTC

Since, I am a newbie. I've never handled an SSP subject but I am very curious and excited for this unique program that helps them to make their lives better. The term 'success' for me is a deep word. Because it is the desired outcome of someone. And the one that needs to succeed is not only the students but also the teachers and the school when the word success is already been met by the student. The true measure of student success is not only when he/she graduates but also how well he/she accomplish his/her goals through their development, sense of responsibility and self-reliance. As a new SSP adviser, a mere say that 'I can make lives better' is not enough, we need to do a lot of actions and efforts to do well and motivate our students.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-07-25 14:35:39 UTC

One of the interesting motivational word of encouragement for those who are aiming for quality education within the reach of low income student.
Phinma Ed heard what the sad agony of aspiring students to reach their goals.

In some of my discussion about altruistic love most likely the story of Mother Theresa of Calcutta (St. Theresa) who advocate an altruistic love to the serve those soldier during war and same with her charitable implementation of Missionaries of Charity. I visualize the educators who conceptualize the altruistic love of Mother Theresa, in which we as educator we provides care, assistance and counseling for our students when it comes to their educational status, problems and academic matter. We are always being here to support them in a good way on how to reach their dream degree.
Truly, SSP is a big help for the students that Phinma Students can be proud of. Phinma will forever write down different success stories of students by providing a good quality education with a heart.

Handling SSP Classes is one the best experience I had in PHINMA-UPang. Having empathy to you students will help you understand and connect to them more. With this, they will learn to TRUST and be HONEST with you, which is the very foundation of any relationship.

New Teacher in UPang

2022-07-26 00:28:05 UTC

I am a new teacher in UPang but not new to teaching. Since I was a college student, I was always been into inspiring and encouraging other students specially those who are feeling down. It really feels different when someone tells you they are grateful and thankful of you because you have helped them realize that there is hope and that they are more than what they can think of themselves. I pursued teaching knowing how important it is to add value to other people specially to students who will be the future of our country.

SSP STORY

2022-07-26 00:57:04 UTC

Being an SSP adviser to students with different experience and different walk of life was an experience that was exhausting but fulfilling. Last school year, I saw my first advisees got their college diploma. It was a very fulfilling moment in my life despite all the exhausting follow ups and late night calls I did during the process. Seeing them with their toga was like seeing the mission of COC being unfold. It's like from making lives better through education to making it come true..

Being a college instructor is not about killing academic ignorance, you should also be a big bro/sis to your students. Handling SSP made me realize that to be an effective teacher, you must help the students IDENTIFY and ACHIEVE goals.

Definition of Students success

2022-07-26 02:04:12 UTC

For me the simple definition of students success is able to apply their learning and understanding in their lives to become successful in life. Teacher is the best asset for the students to gain positive impact, develop their innate talents, skills and capabilities to become the best version of themselves. That must say that teacher and students must possess flexibility, integrity, perseverance and patience just to get success. Because I believe that success requires the moving your feet and faith.

I do not have an experience on SSP yet, from what I heard it is a way to connect with the students and address all of their concerns

My SSP Story

2022-07-26 04:09:16 UTC

SSP Subject is indeed a different type of subject. This is where you connect to your student not just academically but also spiritually. In here, you will get to know your student deeper and you connect to them through their life stories. After our SSP session, face-to-face, I always end it with a verse as a motivation.

Making Lives Better Thru Education

jrrebonquinup — 2022-07-26 04:52:05 UTC

I have an almost 4 years experience in teaching. At first, I tried teaching because I love talking in front of many people. However, as years pass by I learned the importance of education in making lives better. It is my goal to share knowledge in plain language to plain people. Many times those seemingly unable to understand approached me and gave thanks for the learning they themselves don't believe they can grasp. My principle in teaching is : deep in understanding, brief and clear in expression.

SSP is a course that promotes student engagement, learning, and progress towards their goals. It is a comfort zone from academic challenges where the teacher-student relationship is strengthened.

2022-07-26 05:14:07 UTC

SSP makes the student to be more open to their teachers likewise to the teachers which they become more approachable than before. SSP made me realize that different student have different stories/struggles, and to encourage them I become more considerate and make every discussion more interesting.

Student Success

2022-07-26 09:25:05 UTC

Student success for me it's not about passing the examination, quiz, activity or graduating the course but the learning a new experience, the new knowledge and a great environment to each student's passion.

SSP Story

2022-07-26 10:45:43 UTC

My SSP class helps me not just to be a great teacher but also a guidance counselor. I love dealing with students who has different struggles in life wherein I could give them advices that will boost their confidence and how to deal with every rough road that they will face as they reach their success. SSP class helps me to become a better me. Because of my students, I was able to prove to myself that I can do more than teaching, and it's by touching the life of every students.

Student + Success = Professional

2022-07-26 11:35:52 UTC

A student's success for me is not just how well they perform on their academics for their goal to become a licensed professional, but it is also on how well they can handle daily stresses and how well they engage to the community outside the four corners of their room.

SSP, as far as I know, is a subject where you monitor the progress of each PHINMAEd student while on their way to their success: them become an academically good and board exam ready, while also becoming a person with a sense of responsibility, helping the people in dire situations. It is also the subject to address their concerns.

2022-07-26 12:05:30 UTC

Being a part of academe is really challenging for me but whenever my students send me a message thanking me from being a part of their lives, it makes me more eager to be a part of it. Connecting with my students inspire me a lot to do better and to be a better person.

SSP STORY

2022-07-27 02:02:12 UTC

Handling the SSP subject for 3 years gave me a chance to uplift students' affective domain to push them forward to continue studies and to let them rationalize the vision of their dreams. I can see an of a seed (student) grows in SSP subject. As their NST Adviser is the light that gives the seed (student) motivation for them to pursue. The school serves as the training ground where carbon dioxide and water (subject teachers) helps the plant to grow more. In NST - SSP WE Guide them in each step they take. SSP subject for me made me to see different aspects of students character. It molds me more to deepen my function as a teacher.

I Graduated University of Pangasinan batch 2019, and I can say University of Pangasinan really helped me pass my Board Exam. Deciding to go back to my University and teach students this time feels so surreal. Many things have changed but it still feels the same. For me, "Student Success" is when they finally graduate and say " Thank you, University of Pangasinan!"

2022-07-28 06:17:55 UTC

Students success, for me, refers to the continuous positive changes in the students' behavior which can be cognitive, affective, or psychomotor after the teaching-learning process.

2022-08-01 09:02:57 UTC

For students, success consists not just of good grades and steady progress toward graduation, but a holistic sense of fulfillment. They want to become strong candidates for careers in their chosen fields, emerge as competent and trustworthy adults, look back on their time without regrets, and make their mentors and family members proud. For me, Student success means the ability to understand the rights and responsibilities that allow us to function as contributing members of our democracy. Make independent decisions.

There are alot of experiences that have made me believe in my ability to make lives better.

I joined a competition courtesy of PHINMA. And this competition allowed me to raise funds for the typhoon victims in Bicol.

What is inspiring though, is the fact that I raised 50K pesos. Not alone, of course, but through the people who answered the call to help.

Likewise, I believe in the mission. If we can be instruments of making lives better, then we should grab it. Start changing lives a little at a time. Then, maybe - just maybe - we may change the lives of the nation for the better.

That's what success is for me; the ability to help when it is needed. It is the ability to do what is right in the face of struggles and challenges. It is resilience. It is many things. And it does not need to be big.

Thank you for SSP

Can you share what is your dream career? This is the usual question I ask whenever I am about to start my career talk to our target market.

A question that can fuel up their spirits to be their future self and to continue to work hard for their dream career despite the challenges.

Student success isn't measured by how high or low the academic metrics but it starts when the student realizes that her dream career can be a unique contribution to the country that will transcend to the next generation of learners.

2018 when I was hired in this great institution. I met my SSP Students, my first "anak" was so hard to get their attention.
I tried all the active learnings for them to feel that they were important, unique, worthy and now, they are all in college.

As a teacher, it is indeed a pleasure to serve students and let them discover things they didn't even imagine they can. It's also fulfilling seeing students improve not just academically, but also as a person. Seeing them improve when it comes to their study habits, even with the small steps they know. That's really satisfying because I believe that those small steps are the one that matters for them to take bigger steps

I am new with AU but the past months that I have been assigned as adviser to college students, it get me the feeling that this type of environment adheres to positive education, providing positive environment among student fostering learning at its best. Helping student become less pressured in education while still challenging them to become a better versions of themselves. Providing support has enlightened that student can be transformed through education.

Making Lives Better Through Education

2022-08-09 03:21:39 UTC

During my teaching internship, I had several students who would still consult me after our synchronous classes.

For example, one of my students, who is also a journalist in the campus, was very enthusiastic in learning how to write effective news headlines. The student asked whether a certain vocabulary is appropriate to be used or not. I was even asked to check if the headline he wrote for his assignment was correct - but, of course, I reminded him that I cannot answer to that unless he wanted to pass hi work early.

One of my younger cousins told me that I was her inspiration, an "idol" in her eyes. Though I do not view myself worthy of such admiration, it put a lot of pressure on me not just as an individual but as a future educator.

It's heartwarming to see students who keep their desire to learn burning and to know that I can influence them to keep it alive.

2022-08-09 05:15:09 UTC

SSP is one of the best that can lead to students progress and make connection

2022-08-09 08:05:57 UTC

I don't know if it will connect to SSP but, for me, the reason why I chose to be an EDUC student was that I have no other choice, I don't wanna go and study somewhere far. I never really saw myself teaching until I met some classmates and students from my observation/practice teaching who are doing everything they can just to stay in school. Even if they are having a hard time funding their school expenses they refuse to just quit. People like them inspired me to step up and help others. Because I am capable of helping them, then might as well do it properly and with a heart. There is no harm in helping your students and molding them to become better people.

2022-08-09 12:29:20 UTC

During my SSP days before I am in the field of teaching, I remember my advisers telling us inspirational stories of other students who pursue their careers and finished them. Now that I am a teacher, I let my students be motivated with the task given to them during our lesson. This subject is to let them know that they are not alone with their journey, we were alongside them. I encourage them to be optimistic even though the path has thorn or obstacles. I listened to their dilemma and advised encouraging words that they can pursue their dreams in many ways no matter how hard it is keep on going. In that way we can help them spiritually.

Student Success

2022-08-09 15:41:03 UTC

Student success for me is when you have utilized your education to improve your life as well as your family's.

As a novice educator, I reckon that “Student Success” is being fully aware that all the learners have undoubtedly achieved their goals in life, particularly in accomplishing their academic tasks and finishing their studies. Having a great teacher around will push the students to reach beyond their limits, preparing them for a brighter future that is waiting.

2022-08-09 17:28:17 UTC

As a teacher, It's always nice to see your students doing well. Their success is also my success. I always want them to excel because I believe they can do it. During SSP time I was so happy to see them, I want them to be a responsible students. I also want them to achieve their goals in life.

2022-08-10 08:28:57 UTC

As a new instructor in Phinma AU, SSP is new to me but then SSP had a big impact not only to the students but also for us as a teacher. By means of motivating them to keep going everytime that they are in point of giving up. Encouraging them to press on no matter how hard the life is. Sharing true to life stories and asking them if how they are doing. Those tough moments in life will turn into blessing then I always says to them to please continue their study since we know that it is the key to success. I met different people with different views in life that's way I keep telling them that they are loved, accepted and their feelings are always valid.

2022-08-10 08:52:17 UTC

I started in PHINMA AU during the pandemic. There is no other way of communicating to my students via online conferencing or through messenger group chats. Despite those the challenges of distance learning. I was able to make them feel that I am with them, as their adviser. I always make time to have kwentuhan or kumustahan. I always ask how are they. I always make sure that I am reachable and will be there for them always and I think that's very fulfilling and unforgettable. Especially when learners really appreciate your efforts to them. 🥰

My definition of success rising above all adversities or challenges that comes along the way in our lives. Small or big, it is still success and must be celebrated.

2022-08-10 08:57:11 UTC

In my SSP class, I was able to reach out my students. I was able to connect with them, talk to them and guide them in every step of the way. As an SSP adviser is such an amazing job to do. I was able to touch their heart and inspired them to continue their development as student and as a future educator.

Student success is not about graduating on time, having lots of awards, or being laude, but it is about the learning that we learned inside and outside the school, it's about how we survive the challenges that are given to us. when I was in my second year in college one of my prof in SSP do the sharing activities where we can share one of the awesome and saddest experiences in our week, through that way she can connect with us and give us the motivation to push ourselves and don't let problems stop us.

Through having SSP subject, every learner will be able to expand their skills and capabilities to stand as strong and well-equipped when it comes to their acadamic and non-academic lives. In this instance, I also actually enjoy every discussion about the SSP subject due to the fact that this made me realized that I am part of changing the students' lives through education.

This is my first year of being an SSP teacher and I already learned a lot from this opportunity. It is rewarding and satisfying to know that I can be an instrument that helps students to learn, answers their questions, and listens to their problems. Whenever there is a student that asks for help, I always see it as an opportunity to be a teacher to him/her. SSP taught me how to be the teacher I once needed when I was a student.

Student success.

2022-08-11 07:53:47 UTC

I believe, would define student success as the ability of a student to support himself or herself in this society after completing the educational process. Our value and belief systems are strongly based on economics and accumulation of material wealth.

As a beginning teacher...

lanuzamp — 2022-08-11 08:04:07 UTC

All my life, I have only been in my mother's shadow. I've seen how passionate and dedicated she was in her chosen profession. I've seen how delighted she is when her students come back after a few years and still remember to pay her a visit. I saw that no matter how the world discourages you, there should always be someone that would help you up and find your voice in this chaotic world. As a beginning teacher, and being given an opportunity to teach in Tondo, I've seen how learners strive so hard but only given little to no opportunity because of their socio-economic background. They feel hopeless. And as their teacher they won't need someone nag them everyday of their lives. They already have those. They need to feel safe, secured, and loved. Like a flower, I think it's one of the necessary things they would need to bloom.

Student Succes

2022-08-11 08:22:50 UTC

For me as a Teacher, the most challenging part is on how you journey your students to success their lives. It is a big task that we take all of our hardship and effort giving life worth for them. But because of our mission we will lean our shoulder and bring light to their path to make things possible even impossible because that is our code to transform lives of every individual.

The true definition of student's success is not just about academics, but most importantly, to bring out the best out of them and know who they really are. I still do not have any experience when it comes to SSP since this I'm just new in this profession. However, during my practice teaching, I'll never forget how my students trusted me to know about their problems.

SSP EXPERIENCE....

I firmly believed that SSP is the best platform for student engagement and to nourish students' ability. I've learned that we don't need Intelligent, Smart and genius students because we made them! .

Definition of Student Success

2022-08-11 12:16:36 UTC

As a newly hire, a student success comes with a teacher who are with them during their journey. A success of student is a trademark of how competent they are in battling the strong winds of life.

What is your SSP Story: May be a challenge but not impossible

2022-08-11 15:13:28 UTC

Good day,
SSP would equate to homeroom for some schools but this would be my first time to ask students how they are doing and at a very large number at that. its a challenge for me since having parallel class with students ranging from 80-100 . The students seem happy and they seem to be enjoying their time but thats for the ones who are vocal. The only way for me to reach out with the students who seem to be challenged is by showing real care and compassion. Getting one's trust is something we teachers should manage. Even doctors starts with earning their patient's rapport . With such a large number the only way i could think of is to be genuinely concern with their needs to get their trust and that will open doors for students to make their school a haven where they are supported loved and deemed worthy to finish what they have started regardless how unfair life may be. Its that emotional support that we may cater to them that will push them to think that they do matter and that they will succeed

I am a new instructor at SJC and definitely new at being an SSP adviser. I knew after orientations that I would not just guide my students out of requirement but out of sincere concern for their well being. Day 1 when I announced I would be their adviser, my students applauded and was delighted that I was assigned to them. It honestly made me happy to handle the class because we had a good rapport. We did an activity that they obviously enjoyed and I knew then that since we established a good connection, it's going to be easy for them to open up to me later on. Unfortunately, they were pulled out from my load since I was overloaded already. I told them not to be disappointed because I am sure that another SSP adviser would treat them with much concern, probably even better. Thanks to the trainings like this that sets standards and allows us to become better teachers and counselors to our students.

What is your definition of student success?

2022-08-11 19:57:29 UTC

Student success for me is a student-teacher collaboration. Both parties need to cooperate in order for it to be achieved. It is a give and take relationship. For you can never give what you don't have and you can never take anything that you did not work for.

SSP Story

2022-08-12 02:04:10 UTC

Student success is a concerted effort among teachers, students, sog, and the whole learning environment. Student success is seeing our students fully satisfied with the learning experience they had with us. Student success is our commitment of "sasamahan kita", making sure they finish their course and be able to find job after graduation.

Student Success

2022-08-12 02:13:15 UTC

Student success is a very broad term to define but I will use one word to describe the student success it will be "REFLECTION". As a SSP adviser, I want my students to reflect on every situation that they may encounter, a good or bad situation. I always want them to learn from it by reflecting on their lives. I believe that academic learning is important but we must face the reality wherein experiences in every situation can help us be more reliable and competent. Learn from life, reflect for our success.

This if my first time handling SSP. I believe my role as their Adviser is to guide and mentor them not only academically but also emotionally and personally to make their lives better through education. I believe Success is a relative term. If you achieve what you want to and are happy, then I think that is success. It could be applied to life in general or to individual tasks in life. Even though you might not have obtained that set goal, you are successful if you tried your best.

2022-08-12 02:34:46 UTC

Student success is a cooperation between the student and the teacher in order for it to be achieved.

Students Success Program (SSP)
It is not about the content of their modules, it is not about the discipline but rather it is what we called a HOME. A home that they can feel of being comfortable, energetic, we're brothers & sisters, sharing of problems, and embracing the 1st step of their journey toward success through high quality teacher and high calibre education!

As a new faculty member, Connecting with the student is important, on my orientation I asked them to write what are they experience and like to do for their subject, and they answer they need more bonding to their respective professor.

SSP Story

2022-08-12 03:53:12 UTC

Through SSP I was able to learn more about the family background of my students and understand their concerns. It is also where they discuss their goals and aspirations in life. As much as I want to inspire them, I myself is inspired as well on how these young souls dream. It boosts my passion not only to teach them the lessons in our course but also to guide them as they reach their goals.

DEFINITION OF STUDENT SUCCESS

2022-08-12 05:02:49 UTC

Student success is a success through step by step process. As a former student of PHINMA ED, SSP was such a great help during my college days. I had advisers who helped me with my concerns. I believe SSP contributes to the success of the students during their college days.

2022-08-12 05:34:35 UTC

The joy of teaching comes from making sure that every class is student-centered and that the students' voices are valued in addition to being heard. It is exciting to see how a student's mind changes over the course of a semester, and to build a relationship with them that will last and be valued by both the student and myself.

Based on my experienced handling SSP , i have a lot of things that I learned as aside of being a teacher and also a second parent to my student. nakakatuwa kasi sa tuwing makakausap ko sila at kakamustahin sila natutuwa sila at feeling nila may taong makakaintindi sa kalagayan nila at pakiramdam nila.its challenging yet fulfilling kasi nagawa mong tulungan ang bata kahit na malayo siya di man financially pero as a person. tunay na mababago mo ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa pagtulong sa mga bagong professional ng ating bansa.

Student Success comes in many forms. They might graduate, get a job they want, and help their families. To be a part of this success is life changing and rewarding. Even before my PHINMA ed experiences, I get to receive messages from my students how I was able to help them in any shape or form. That gives me more drive to pursue my teaching career. Here, I want to help students to ensure success by providing them necessary skills they need when they go out of the school.

This is my first time to handle SSP class though it's my 3rd sem teaching here in Phinma COC (including summer). But during my first sem here in the community, I believe I was able to help students realize and recall the reasons why they choose to study our course, Civil Engineering. Also, I am sending them like once a week a positive quotes related to not giving up on their dreams. I can say that they appreciate my effort of sending them bible verse and positive quotes because I saw them reposting it on their my day in facebook and messaging me that my messages are helpful for them specially when they felt tired of studying.

STUDENT SUCCESS

2022-08-12 10:00:15 UTC

As a newly hired college instructor, my experiences during my undergraduate years made me realize that student success is a never ending process of student transformation and development. A teacher must not cease in shaping not just their selves, but also the minds of the student that they handle towards a better version of themselves and to become an active citizen of our turbulent society.

My definition of student success...

2022-08-12 11:00:19 UTC

As a newly hired teacher, my definition of student success is to see their lives become better.
To let them know, that help is here.
To be able to touch their lives and help them create their own story.
To be able to help them ease their way out of their hardships in life.
To help them see how beautiful life is.

At the end of the day, seeing your students become successful in any aspect in their life is rewarding as a teacher.

In educational institutions, student success is crucial since it is frequently utilized as a performance indicator. Preventive strategies and early identification of at-risk students can significantly increase their achievement. Programs for student success in the community encourage learning, engagement, and advancement in the direction of the individual goals of the students through cross-functional leadership and the strategic use of technology.

2022-08-12 13:04:16 UTC

This helped me uncovered a lot of hidden things. The emotions too deep to share that sometimes hinders students to focus and keep achieving their dreams. In this SSP, it helped us to feel the belongingness they needed in this learning community. No Man is an island indeed and every person(student) should not be left behind in making their lives better. With SSP, we help them MAKE IT HAPPEN.

2022-08-12 13:54:47 UTC

Through SSP I was able to talk and provide some advise to my students on personal matters that really made a difference. To this day some students do still recognize me and continue asking personal advise on some matters.

As an SSP instructor, it is an honor since students are able to show who they are. With this, I can guide and help them authentically.

2022-08-12 14:09:16 UTC

Teaching is a challenging but highly rewarding profession. Challenging as you mold and prepare them for their future and rewarding as you see them achieve their goals through you.

SSP Story as the Advisor

2022-08-12 16:29:16 UTC

It is really a tough job to dwell on an environment where you have to go back again from being a student. As a teacher, your learning does not actually end on coaching and mentoring, it also dictates you to be a whole new person of becoming their second parent. Learning and educating will lead your students toward a better education.

2022-08-13 02:49:23 UTC

I witnessed how some of my students struggling financially every exam. How every now and then they want to quit. And now, seeing them passed the licensure board exam is such a fulfillment. SSP is a very important subject because this is the venue where they could share their struggles and stories.

Making lives better thru Education

2022-08-13 03:17:06 UTC

For me, Student Success Program means that our role as educators does not end at the four corners of our classrooms. It begins when we start to go out of our way to make sure that our student feel motivated, belonged, and cared for every time they go to school.

My SSP Story - Sir JB

2022-08-13 06:39:02 UTC

I never thought that SSP would help me to grow more and to learn more about how to take care of my advisory classes. It's not just a subject, it is a tool to help students reach their dreams.

Learning from home or Flex Learning at Phinma Education is quite challenging for me as a teacher and as new faculty of this institution. But, through the process, I was able to manage because of the leaders who are leading us.

To summarize it all, SSP is a medium for a student to succeed.

I am happy to be a PHINMA Education graduate. I genuinely believe that SSP Kamustahan is a fantastic approach to connect with our children and learn about their current challenges and how they are doing. Just by paying attention to them and reassuring them that we are here to support them no matter what difficulties they are facing. Since I am a faculty member, I can now makes lives better through education. Even though I'm not an SSP adviser, I still make time to speak with my students during their consultation hours and before our discussion begins.

2022-08-13 06:39:40 UTC

I just met once my students in their SSP class. It was great that I get the chance to ask my students how was their first week of being a college student. And looking forward to know them more and connect to them.

2022-08-13 07:23:34 UTC

To be an adviser is such a privilege. It was actually my dream to handle class. Gladly, I was given the chance this school year. It's like having my own "babies" that I want to cherish and nurture. I know that it's a big responsibility, but I look forward to bridge the gap and make lives better thru education.

RIGHT PATH

2022-08-13 08:05:00 UTC

Indeed being a teacher is very challenging yet fulfilling at the same time. Back then when I was still a student, SSP was just an additional subject to me that I need to comply for me to graduate. But now that I am an instructor and SSP Adviser, I've realized that it is indeed a subject that will help our students to conquer the world in the near future and us (teachers) as part of it is really something so touching and fulfilling. We truly make lives better through education.

"Making lives Better Through Education", Indeed! I am from a class C family and I really love their Mission. It will always be "Education" as they key to success.
This Student Success Program of PhinmaEd makes them really different from other schools. As a newbie teacher here the Student Success Program really catches my attention that we are doing not just a simple job but beyond the word "JOB". We help them navigate to reach their dreams and aspiration in life. We inspire and transpire. As SSP adviser of more than 80 students it`s somehow overwhelming sometimes, but if you will go back to the school`s mission and recall why you started, how the company believed in YOU, and how the students look up upon you things will get easier.
Lastly, Student Success is defined for me as improving the student learning, having retention and persistence and producing the best version of themselves as they step out in the university.

My SSP Journey

2022-08-25 09:23:47 UTC

Honestly, at first I found SSP as an additional burden to teachers specially for those who has more than five subject preparations, and this I really seen it at first. However, as days goes by, when I have some students failed to take exams on time, students who has numbers of absences, and the likes, I found SSP very useful. Through SSPI have the chance to know more about my students. Although, most of my times and all my social media accounts where bombarded with messages from my students, I still found it fulfilling because of the many teachers that my students have, they chose me to conversed about them, their lives, their families, their problems, and many more. The mere fact that they are comfortable to deal with you their personal problems is a big factor for me to realized the reasons of their academic performances. From then on, I truthfully understand why teaching profession is a noble one, because your job does not only end in teaching them lessons found in textbooks and inside the four corners of the classroom, but more of touching their lives and molding them to become the better version of themselves.

Student Success for me.

Its objective is to expose students to a variety of viewpoints, ideologies, and cultures in order to improve learning and make the classroom more relevant.

Anong SSP Story mo?

2022-08-27 03:27:19 UTC

I've always dreamed to extend my help to anyone who needs it. And as a teacher, I was given the chance to make this dream in reality.

SSP subject is one of the platforms where students can be the themselves. a platform where they can freely expose and vent out the struggles they are silently battling.
This subject is not only for the betterment of the students but for me as an instructor also.
It helped me open my eyes to the real deal each individual inside my room is facing.

Kudos COC for giving me the once in a lifetime opportunity to be an adviser.

MY SSP STORY

2022-08-29 04:10:39 UTC

The ongoing surge of cases due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has greatly affected the means of livelihood of the citizens of our country and has also impacted over 60% of the world’s student population (UNESCO, 2020). Given the difficult conditions, the pandemic has put our school community in, SSP helps students become genuine persons rather than merely numbers. Understanding the learner fully and in their context is essential to ensure student success. SSP offers me this platform so that I can keep an eye on my students' general well-being and their academic performance also. Since you are the one who communicates with the students constantly, managing an SSP class is not as simple as it may seem. They will turn to you for answers to all of their queries and other concerns.

2022-08-29 06:56:43 UTC

I think that student success is being able to align their current goals to what awaits them when they leave the academe. Students should be able to successfully complete small goals without missing the big picture. From what I have experienced when I was in the university, there is no clear connection between different subjects and activities and the vagueness of what awaits me in the future got me so confused on what exactly I want to achieve in life. That's, of course, partly due to my immaturity or maybe, I just do not know any better. Having a teacher or mentor to explain the connection to me from time to time would have been a huge help.

2022-08-29 20:50:53 UTC

Student Success Program
is a necessity for both of us(teachers & students) especially this time of pandemic where communications in person are limited. Here in this program, you are bridging your students to be open to you whenever he/she is encountering problems.
I always encouraged them as their adviser that I am ready to listen and set time to help them with whatever they have.
As a result, those students were still here in Upang and continuing reaching their goals.

2022-08-30 02:15:29 UTC

I am a new teacher and for me student success is when student keep pursuing his or her dreams despite different challenges in life that he or she encounters.

I make lives better through education!

2022-08-30 14:47:04 UTC

Each students has their own stories to tell. Stories of struggles, of joys, dreams and aspirations and hope. As a faculty, it is my task to make each students feel that they can, they will and they belong. That in Phinma Education through SSP, they have a home that motivates them, challenges them, and equips them so they may be able to become who they want to be.

2022-08-30 16:14:56 UTC

I'm a new teacher, for me student success isn't about kung ano ang katayuan mo sa buhay, because success doesn't come to you, you've got to go to it, even if we have failures we can still learn from it and make it right, and thru learning is the key to success.

SSP STORY

2022-08-30 23:51:47 UTC

SSP helps me connect with my students. Its a room wherein we we share struggles, experiences, and encouragement to grow and pursue their goals. And as an Instructor It makes me happy seeing my students enjoying while learning.

SSP Experience: "Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

2022-08-31 07:26:38 UTC

As a RAD Instructor for more than a year now, it's really quite difficult for me to reach out to each and everyone of them. But through Kamustahan sessions via Google Meet or through Messenger chat, I can atleast get to know my students
better by asking them how they are doing and what needs working out or if there are any issues that needs to be addressed. Through these platforms, even without face-to-face classes, students can actually
share stories with the whole class and they can reach me more easily by just texting or sending me an email.

I had several experiences from the past wherein students would ask for an extension with the school deadlines due to the death of their loved ones or like the
whole family had to undergo quarantine
because someone got tested positive
with COVID-19 and such. As an educator, our focus shouldn't be just with their academics but addressing other concerns as well which can have an impact with their emotional and mental well-being for this can be challenging for the students to fully focus on their studies and those kind of situations most of the time can be mentally, emotionally and physically tiring.

It really is very important for us RAD teachers to constantly check on our students from time to time and we must be considerate and empathic enough so that we can continue making and leaving an impact to our students' lives.

2022-09-01 03:54:56 UTC

As a new employee/faculty of this institution, I was quiet anxious on what SSP is all about. Most specifically how to handle the class in general. In fact my task was delayed for the reason on some confusion on my part. Yet as I go through the subject in the past few weeks. I can say that I love this one. I really love that this institution has this to offer to students. It is of great privilege and fulfilment on my part that somehow, I am part of this. Most specially addressing concerns of students in different aspects of their student life. As I can see, this program is of great help for students in building their character as a whole

2022-09-02 02:23:55 UTC

Success, in general, for me, shouldn't be defined by other people. It should be felt and appreciated first by yourself.

SSP STORY

jrlopezup — 2022-09-02 11:54:39 UTC

This program helps teachers and students to become more connected and in lined. It feels good to hear and know the stories of the students. And it feels even more fulfilling when they share these stories with you.

Kwentong SSP

2022-09-05 06:50:02 UTC

My definition of Student success is not just about having High and passing grades, perfecting a quiz, or Performing a procedure correctly, It is, for me, the combination of good attitude, willingness to learn, and are passionate in their work. Students who are willing to learn and correct their mistakes are the one's that succeeds, maybe not now, but in the long run. Someone who shares the success of others. A student who values EQ the same way they value IQ. Because at the end of the day, our success will only remain when we continuously learn, be open to mistakes and criticisms, and making our passion an inspiration to others. That is Successful student for me.

SSP STORY

2022-09-05 10:41:39 UTC

SSP helps me connect to my students in different levels of their present lives. They share their personal concerns and I gave them advises. It is trully heartwarming to see those students continue to strive for their dreams despite of this world trying to pull them back . As what I've always tell them "You are all blessed because you are all in PHINMA" .

2022-09-05 17:58:23 UTC

Student Success for me is not only limited to achieving high grades, or being able to understand the lesson for the day, or even demonstrating acceptable skills learned from laboratory classes. With our philosophy “Making Lives Better Through Education” I think there’s a more profound and deeper meaning and mission that we should accomplish. It’s shaping the student’s mind to become a better citizen for our country, it’s molding the student to give back to his or her family that raised him or her into being a successful person, it’s thinking not only about himself or herself but also his or her community as well, it’s becoming the ideal person he or she always dreamt of- this is how I can actually say that we raised an upright moral person that is not self-centered, but thinks of his or her family, community, and the country as well.

SSP pa nga

2022-09-06 15:32:33 UTC

Students usually got bored during SSP time, but I always remind them that this is a major subject. Hahaha! kidding aside!
SSP helps us to know more our students outside their academic field, it's more of kamustahan and anong ganap nila sa buhay? and it's nice hearing their real-life stories of how do they want to change their lives and how PHINMA ed is helping them.

Student Success

As a new faculty, and as a product of PHINMA UPang, my definition of Student Success is being able to migrate from one level to the next level by maintaining a happy and a balanced life, and not just by merely passing your subject requirements.

SSP STORY

2022-09-08 12:18:49 UTC

SSP is really a great platform to assess students. Through this program, I'm able to know my students more than how their classmates see them, know their stories, and they really feel a sense of belongingness.

SSP

2022-09-08 12:30:01 UTC

SSP is really a great program. Through this, I'm able to know my students more than how their classmates sees them. There are students who work on farm, or works as electrician in order for them to meet their needs. Their stories are inspiring indeed and really melts my heart.

Students success for me, is being able to achieve your goals and never give up through the trials that are to be faced, it is true that through education, we make lives better but in order for the students to shape their personality and the way they see things we must see to it that being their teachers we know how to fill in the important role for them and we must ensure that we offer them guidance and to always remind them of their goals and motivate them to be the best version of their selves.

2022-10-24 01:44:49 UTC

One of the memorable SSP that I have way back pre pandemic, most of my students are struggling how to balance their studies and their career and sideline. It is an avenue where we can coach and mentor our students on what they have to prioritize most, and to achieve their dream job and career in future .

SSP

2022-10-24 02:57:56 UTC

As a SSP Adviser, we inspire students to become successful in life. As we heard different stories from them we realized there's a lot of things that we do not know about them. Challenges that we must overcome and we the teachers should give support and guide them to have a better future. When my student told a story about in his/her life i felt that he should be helped and given advice. Also encourage them to pursue their dreams even if life is hard and do our responsibilities in life.

SSP STORY

2022-10-24 02:58:58 UTC

Handling SSP subject is different from other subjects. You can touch the lives of your students and they can also touch your live. SSP can help us an adviser to know our students more.

I am a new employee in PHINMA-AU. As a fresh graduate, I can easily relate my own situation back then to their stories and life experiences. SSP helps us to be more open in life and share different thoughts and perspectives in life. I also gain life lessons and motivation to my students that I can use to be more in my teaching field. It such a wonderful experience for me to be part of every students success at their own field.

As an SSP adviser, It was a life changing hearing their stories. They trust me in sharing their struggles in life and also somehow Its overwelming hearing their acchievements

2022-10-24 05:04:14 UTC

For me a Students success is not measured by how much medals , high grades and high paying job he will get in the future but rather how satisfied, happy and peaceful his mental life is. Success is all about gaining genuine happiness in life.

i believe that students have stories to be told, so that, as their adviser it is my job to solve those problems with them. it is really fullfiling when their worries turn into smiles

2022-10-25 05:06:10 UTC

Some students are afraid to reach out to their teachers because maybe they are intimidated or shy. SSP gives a chance for the students and teachers/instructors to connect

SSP allows me to get closer to the students; during M&M sessions, I always feel that they are comfortable sharing their story with me, and I enjoy the moment when they release their stress by telling me about their problem. This type of supervision is always appreciated by me.

What a Beautiful Journey!

It is with enthusiasm and a gleeful heart to be able to touch the lives of my students and make it a little less heavy through SSP. I may not be a licensed counselor, nor a registered psychometrician but to know that I am helping them out in tiny ways that I can, it is priceless.

MY SSP JOURNEY

2022-10-25 07:30:34 UTC

As a faculty handling SSP, it really give me a platform to hear the stories of my students and encourage them to be tough no mar the situation is. It gives me a satisfaction whenever the students open up on me. It is a sign that they have a trust on me. On the other hand, I have a few students that really challenges my capacity to promote discipline. As for my response, I always ensure to have a good communication with them. All in all it really gives me a joy when having a conversation with the students.

As a new faculty, SSP session is foreign to me. And I am surprise with our first M and M session, where I can actually get to know my student and really give them advice.

2022-10-26 09:41:50 UTC

I haven't taught SSP before but my My own definition of student success is when my students are enjoying themselves while learning. It doesn't matter if they get high grades or not, what matters is that they are always motivated and willing to learn despite the tasks and activities that they are assigned to do, while having a sound mind and in a state of a good mental health. Indeed, I can make lives better through education by understanding the situation of these students and being able to sympathize with them and at the same time motivating to bring out the best in them.

2022-10-28 07:29:08 UTC

My students who are now professionals giving thanks to me is one of the successes that is so impactful to a teacher.

THE TRUE MEANING OF SUCCESS

2022-10-30 07:23:50 UTC

The definition of success comes in a multitude of perspectives. Success is never objective, it is indeed subjective!

Living for more than two decades has taught me that people are entitled to their own stories, therefore success can not be defined in black or white.

As for me, success is having the courage to do your best despite the uncertainties you experienced. Living up and waking up every day is a success. Having friends and family beside you is a success. Having the opportunity to teach with passion is a success. Possessing sound mental health is a success. Living outside your comfort zone is a success.

Achieving success is not a piece of cake, hence the fruit is sweet!

Student's success is a teacher's success as well.

2022-10-31 12:04:12 UTC

Student success, to me, is not just about getting a diploma on the stage nor having an instagrammable graduation picture.

It is rising above one's misery no matter how hard it gets. It is choosing to keep going when all other voices say otherwise.

It is attaining quality education despite all the but's and if's combined and being able to help your family in the smallest, genuine way possible.

Experience in SSP

2022-11-01 12:02:16 UTC

Its my first time handling SSP though I've been a class adviser in my previous work. Its a new experienced for me. Its nice talking and giving advises to students., its good to help them the best I could.
Doing the kumustahan session from time to time. Reminding them to do their assignments, asking them if they need. It feels good that we can make lives better through education

Student Success Program made me realize that i am not just an educator but also a friend and a mother to my dear students, listening with their different stories and on how they cope up with it. I am honored that even my past students contacting me to ask an advice/help with their problems. Ability is an important part of student success, but without us-the teachers, our students will not excel or explore their abilities without our helping hands.

2022-11-02 12:52:35 UTC

Student's Success

2022-11-03 01:30:59 UTC

A student is considered successful if they learn something new each day. For me it is the satisfaction and acceptance of what they have achieved and what they got as a result of their efforts. It is not about having higher grades than others but how they got that grades.

when they come back to you or message you after so many years and tell you, "thank you, ma'am"

I've handled college before entering Senior High and the fact that they still remember you, greet you esp on teacher's day and tell you that they missed me... and how my note, my little sticky notes, made an impact on them is heartwarming.

SSP

2022-11-04 05:12:54 UTC

The moment I was hired, I honestly did not see the importance of SSP. However, in the long run, when I started handling it, I was amazed. I have seen it as a perfect avenue in guiding students in all their endeavors and I see my importance as an adviser as well who has the responsibility to protect, and nurture students with love and care, gave advices necessary for their growth and learning. More importantly, I have come to realize that it is not just SSP, it is what completes the SHS journey of the students. <3 So glad to have been given the opportunity. <3

My own definition of students success in learning is not when student receive information but when they have applied their learnings in real situations.

My SSP story!

2022-11-04 11:59:03 UTC

Ive been so blessed to be part of this program, as we get along with the life journey of our dear students, their ups and downs made me realize that life is so uniquely beautiful.

The value of "kamusta?" is so essential in this so called generation... there was a time, when I called a student to get to know how is she holistically, meaning how is she in every aspect of her life... and in my surprise, she is not really ok, and found out that she's so anxious about life uncertainties, and on that day she was to end up her life. At first I was so worried and because I took up a psychological nursing course before, i just lend my ear listening to her and prayed for her, we ended up 3:00am. She told me that she was relieved, referred her to the csdl. Indeed SSP is amazing!

As an NST/SSP adviser for 3 years, I was able to mold or help my students in knowing their strengths and weaknesses. Also, I teach them different values that will prepare them in the real world because in reality life is not as smooth as the fairy tale movies. I am fully aware that as their adviser, it is important to guide and motivate them on their journey. I've been giving a monthly consultation of grades and at the same time I got to ask them about how they are feeling right at that moment for me to see the other side of the picture and to get some answers as to why they have that kind of behavior.

SSP is an acronym for Student Success Program well from the word itself, it tackles all about the students their capabilities, problems such as financial needs and academic problems but SSP is a way to bridge the gap between student and teachers, it's a way to help the students in their problems and find ways to solve the problems. Aside from that Phinma Education, always value and treasure their students that's why their mission is to makes lives better through education. They always prioritize their students to make their education lively as possible in high school or college life.

It is my first time handling SSP, one of the most satisfying moment of being a teacher is knowing that your effort is appreciated by your students and being a SSP adviser is not just about teaching the ways to success but also teaching the ways to solve their problems as a student.

THE COMPELLING SSP STORY

2022-11-05 11:18:33 UTC

SSP
It is the time where students can comfortably speak with their voices and hear them loudly with their peers and adviser. Somehow, I can feel empathy with their personal experience upon coming up to school with "financial problems, family problems, health problems, etc." As an effective teacher, they are my reflection and reward. I can see that they are keep doing their best to fulfill and become a goal-driven individuals.

As their adviser, I helped them nurture, engaged and have a sense of belongingness. From this, it makes lives better through education by reaching up their goals and embraced it whole heartedly <3

Making Lives better through Education

2022-11-06 07:15:38 UTC

As a SSP adviser my goal is to improve my student's education and help them grow knowledgeably. I like to see students at different levels develop with each other and learn. I want them to have freedom with whatever creativity they want, and to allow them to express themselves at any time. With this freedom students will be able to experiment with likes and dislikes and be able to figure their weaknesses and strengths. Education is for everyone and I'm happy seeing my students growth.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

2022-11-06 09:35:31 UTC

Being part of an institution that has a vision and mission of providing quality education at an affordable cost is a privilege. I am honored to serve the students. I make sure that I deliver the topics and help them make understand it very well. I see to it that whenever I give quiz, I explain the answers afterwards for them to understand it better.
It is heartbreaking to know that most of my students are working students because I can see their difficulties in trying to survive every day in class. SJC Phinma still accepts working students because they want to provide them with the same opportunity to graduate.

2022-11-07 01:37:47 UTC

As a newly hired faculty , The definition of student success for me is that when i saw how my students give full attentions in lecturing and how eager they are to gain more knowledge from you as a teacher. Sharing them what you have been experience before as a student and making them realized that taking this such course is not that easy to overpass. Pursuing them to strive to finish their studies on time is also one of the main thing thay we can do in orde for them to reach their own sucesses.

SSP STORY

2022-11-07 04:22:57 UTC

It not easy to hold ssp because you will encounter different student and also different story (SCHOOL, FAMILY, FINANCIAL. EMOTIONAL PROBLEM) I have some student shared their story how difficult/struggle in school not only in academic but mostly in financial problem it seem so sad for us a teacher because we know how it feel but i told them not to give up and keep fighting because for their dreams and all always seek GOD and be thankful everyday.

There is a fine line between being strict and being considerate with students especially when it comes to missed requirements or delayed exams. I have seen how a small act of kindness by extending consideration to students could have a big impact to them. Of course we want them to be disciplined and are training them to be professionals, but we as teachers need to also discern when to be considerate because some of these students are actually just hanging on a thread, trying to survive and striving so they could finish semester after semester. Helping them succeed by understanding there needs and struggles is more important than being tagged as a righteous teacher.

M I X E D E M O T I O N S

This first semester has been a mixed of emotions lately. It was my first time to handle SSP subject and third year subjects. For our course, third year is the hardest year. Expect for constant reviewing, big eyebags, and sleepless nights. I've been through there. So, I understand my students' constant rants and constant complaining how hard their subjects. While reviewing their answers in the survey, 70% answered academics as their problem. I always tell my students that no matter how difficult the subject is, they must fight until the end.

It is overwhelming that my students appreciate my effort in teaching and how I touch their lives. I really appreciate the thought that students appreciate the knowledge I have given them. Indeed, I can make lives better.

As a teacher ang part of this academy students success is the outcome of practicing good attendance, taking plentiful notes and observing teacher for the student as they work through problems, topics and issues in class.Also communication between student ang teacher is important to achieve students success in learning.

In my experience in handling SSP, I can relate to the problems of the students and I gave them my own advices that I learn from life. I can say that it is one fulfilling moment when I am able to help my students.

I have yet to experiment with SSP. For me, the Student Success Program allows students to express their concerns, whether they are academic or personal. Through this, the teacher might be able to assist the student in overcoming it and also encourage students to pursue their dreams.

A student's success is the fulfillment of their dreams. The first step to that is to finish college. Through the SSP class, I was able to motivate my students and hear their voices and sentiments in life. Like a calculator, I became a tool for my students to learn and an inspiration to motivate themselves in becoming better and to help their families.

The success of a teacher's students serves as their foundation. Maintain consistently high standards for your students. Make sure you push them to their limits while still believing in their ability to succeed. One of the easiest yet most effective teaching strategies is to believe in your students.

I have not yet handled a SSP subject but my definition of student success is when the students achieve satisfactory levels of academic performance as they progress through and complete their course experience.

Of course, as a professor we will continue the PHINMA legacy which is to make lives better through giving quality education.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” A very powerful thought of Nelson Mandela emphasizing the essence of education as a tool to change the society for the better. It is a known fact that education is not just about attaining a “higher state of knowledge”, but also an avenue to equip our students with the tools they need to go out into the world and shape it for themselves.
In the classroom, students gain skills and abilities. But beyond that, education also broadens their minds which can change their outlook and approach to the world. We are providing them a better perspective in life as we, teachers, are motivating our students to become more open, thoughtful, and responsible citizens, who are prepared to put these skills into action in our society. And when the right time comes, they will take their values with them, and go on to make the world a better place.

"Indeed, I can make lives better through education!"

SSP story

2022-11-09 01:07:33 UTC

I have been an adviser in SSP every semester. But this year made my world go round since I have plenty of sections to handle. I really thought I won't be able to take them due to their numbers. I thought that I might not be able to handle all the tasks, know my students and understand them. But it didn't! Instead, the majority of them were able to move up. The more I got motivated when they appreciated my simple actions but just asking "ohh KUMUSTA man ka langga?" This line, really made them feel my presence as their adviser. They are willing to tell their stories now that there is someone who is willing to listen. You will know them better when you talked to them personally. Just be willing to embrace them, and surely you will make a difference in each one of them.

Did I make something good in the lives of my students?

2022-11-09 04:11:02 UTC

At the end of every semester, I always reflect and contemplate on what I did this semester? Did I help more students? Did I facilitate the needs of my students? Did I effectively share my knowledge, wisdom and expertise?
I am usually handling graduating students, having OJTs and final requirements. As per my experience, it is never easy to keep on reminding, emphasizing and encouraging students especially that they have different concerns both personal, family, financial and even in their working stations. I received flooded messages and emails from them. Sometimes, I got frustrated when students keep on asking questions even if its already been explained. I guess, that is the core of every teacher. Regardless of how tiresome it was, I need to reply them and encourage them to continue. And I think by knowing that they were able to finish their OJT, have good feedback from their supervisors and have completed all their requirements were my basis that I made something good into their lives. Knowing that they will embark another chapter of their lives into the employability world, my gratitude overflows.

MY SSP STORY

2022-11-09 07:37:34 UTC

Hi! I'm a newly hired teacher and this is literally my first-time teaching students. I never thought I can also inspire and give advice to students because that is not so-me. Being an adviser to them, SSP made me realize the role of teachers as second parents to students. It is a very fulfilling experience to be able to motivate students and bring out the best in them when they're already feeling down and unmotivated to pursue their dreams. I remember one of my teachers before saying that "aside from the cognitive and psychomotor aspects that we are focusing on, we should also allot time to target the affective domain because that is where the students' drive in studying comes in" and I strongly agree with her.

My SSP Story

2022-11-09 08:56:01 UTC

being an adviser in SSP is truly a remarkable work for me, I see the situations of my students their struggles and perseverance they have put to maintain their studies in the right track. It is a communication between me and my students to know their story and how you as a teacher can make their lives better by hearing their pain and struggles. I've been a student myself and I can see myself through them. I gave them mga advise into becoming better and being strong in facing life challenges na we can get through all this together. SSP is not just passing the knowledge to our students but also guiding them the morale and the beauty of life. I'm a proud SSP adviser!

2022-11-09 14:16:09 UTC

Being a SSP adviser made me appreciate everything that my parents provided for me, things that I took for granted as a student.

It is also fulfilling, knowing that I was able to create a safe space for them and find a support group within their class despite the distance.

Getting appreciation messages from some of my former students and seeing them successful in their chosen career as architects/engineers make me think that I’ve been part of their lives getting better through education.

SSP STORY

2022-11-10 06:11:22 UTC

SSP is an outlet to the students where I can talk to them personally and nurture them in academics.

What is your SSP Story?

2022-11-10 06:55:21 UTC

It is my first time handling an SSP Section, and most of the students' concerns are regarding their grades and exams.

But whenever I start our Monitoring and Mentoring, that is the time when I am able to check my students' current situation.

SSP is a great avenue for us teachers, it allows us to communicate, monitor, and check our students.

SSP Amazing Story

2022-11-10 08:37:56 UTC

Hi! This is my first advisory teaching SSP, I believe this is a program that doesn't benefit only my students but also my career as their adviser. Success doesn't come to us naturally it should be paired with effort and arduous time. This is a great platform for students to know their personal, financial and academic challenges. This is a great platform to sustain their commitment with the path they chose and the dream they fought. I am able to share my experiences and inspire students to continue their dreams regardless of the hindrances.

2022-11-10 08:38:07 UTC

SSP is a great platform to support, guide, and encourage learners. As an adviser, I find it rewarding when I am able to inspire learners during and after our session. Through this course, I was able to provide proper support and guidance to every learners that helps them to keep on track with their interests and develop their full potential.

SUCCESS

2022-11-10 08:42:21 UTC

The word success is an ambiguous word. Each person has a different interpretation of it. But for me the meaning of student success is that the student able to feel the satisfaction in the outcome of their learning. They can able to apply what they have learned in school and able to share it to others. Success can't be achieve over night, it is done by working hard and not giving up from whatever problems come in life. It is my first time to handle SSP and I am grateful that through this I have learned the different stories of my students. I get a chance to know and understand them better.

Handling SSP classes makes me realize the importance of using varieties of teaching strategies for the individual differences of the students. Every student has a different story behind the personality they are showing. That is why it is necessary that we understand one another. This will help them achieve success.

SSP as a story of a co teacher

2022-11-10 13:21:55 UTC

I havent teach SSP but one of my co teachers did share a story about it. The course is emotionally draining if a lot of stories you will hear from students are heartbreaking and there's no way for you to make it a lot easier. Most struggles came from something they havent.

2022-11-11 01:05:59 UTC

Through SSP subject I got the chance to know some of our students in the university.

My first SSP experience was a llitle bit challenging. The moment that really made me feel like I can make lives better, is when they ask for my help and we can solve their problems together.

2022-11-11 05:10:54 UTC

as a faculty handling SSP last semester, it is one way to connect or interact with the concerns of my students both academic and personal, it is where we share our different experiences during the pandemic period.

As faculty handling SSP last semester, The pandemic was the challenging situation for the student .

As a newly hired faculty teacher, SSP (STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM) I have the learnings that the student must focus for their goals/dreams until they graduate and get their dream profession. But I know some of the students don't have the access or they have poor standard not in academics but in their background family. They need some guidance and some comfort to study well and the end they can pay all the sacrifices of their parents.

As a faculty, thru SSP it gives me a chance to know my students well most especially on how they handle their problems in relation to their studies. I always motivate them that those problems are only part of what they will become at the end of the day.

2022-11-11 07:55:49 UTC

To be honest, I can only utter these words " I did made their lives better though education" if they are already employed with their dream jobs and see in their faces that they were really happy and thankful for the memories and experiences during their college life with me as their instructor.

2022-11-11 09:15:45 UTC

SSP is one of the most amazing subjects in PHINMA ed. This brings me to realization that students are really thirsty for knowledge and education. However, most our students do not have an easy to education. Thanks to PHINMA for the affordable yet quality education. Because of that, our students are able to see a brighter future.

SSP Story

2022-11-11 12:01:37 UTC

"Ma'am thank you kaayo sa pagpapaminaw sa akong problema"
One of the things that I have learned in handling SSP is to Show that you are trustworthy to listen with your students' problem. Remember that it takes a lot of courage to open up and share your problems to the others. And with that, you have to show that you are willing to Listen and give them the assurance that they can share anything to you. Yes, we can give them the advices they need but if it's too difficult to comprehend then we can ask the help from professional. The bottom line here is to let the student feel that they have someone to talk to ,whenever they need.

MY SSP STORY

2022-11-11 13:56:46 UTC

Student Success Program gives an opportunity to create rapport among the students.
Being an SSP teacher is really great. I've encountered different kind of students with different stories of their lives, their struggles and their concerns. At first, I thought that this subject is boring but as the time goes by I realize that this subject is very interesting.
Hearing the dreams of my students really motivates me to have passion to offer the best education for them for their success is also our success.

SSP is really a big help to our students. They have this chance to express and to talk about their problems through mentoring & monitoring sessions. They can seek guidance through their advisers.

2022-11-12 05:12:26 UTC

As a newly hired teacher, for me the definition of student success is not only the students are learning and growing as students but also everyday they are eager to learn and discover new things. I never experienced handling SSP but one thing is for sure, students get inspire everyday when you not only share the knowledge that you have to convey but also inspire them by sharing your own experiences and to be who they want to be in the future.

2022-11-12 05:59:37 UTC

I'm not a SSP adviser but as what I've heard from my co-teacher that being a SSP teacher you will learn a lot from the stories of your students. What they are struggling in life, how they manage to live despite circumstances that they face everyday.

SSP will help a lot of students to cope with their problems through mentoring and monitoring with their advisers

SSP STORY

2022-11-14 02:48:03 UTC

SSP is tiring work yet a very satisfactory one. I thought it was just monitoring and mentoring your student but SSP is more than that. SSP helped me connect with my students. I've heard a lot of stories that touches my heart, made me sad, and at the same grateful because I was able to know stories and learned a lot from them.

2022-11-14 07:54:56 UTC

For the past few months of learning with the students, I have understood that “student success program” is not only based on the grades that have improved but on the visible changes I see about their personalities.

My experience of being with my students in SSP is a meaningful one because I tend to realize things that are essential in life. One of those things is education. The students are trying their best to attain quality education amidst the challenges that they are facing every day.

Success is excellent Values of a Students

2022-11-15 04:44:30 UTC

As a Adviser of SSP students' ability to find a sense of belonging on campus, the identification and connection of purpose to the student's course of study, skills gained, and post-college aspirations. Student success is everyone's responsibility.

Oral Defense of my Students

2022-11-15 08:41:28 UTC

I remember one time when my students passed the oral defense of their feasibility study and they got a high grade.

2022-11-15 15:28:55 UTC

As a new member of the PHINMA UPANG department, my understanding with the Student Success Program is that it is to ensure that every student is given the proper guidance and support in every step of their way and to encourage them to have this sense of focus and excel not just academically but in general.

Student Success...

2022-11-17 06:52:51 UTC

Helping my students achieve their dreams and aspirations is always my mission thus, I always choose to stay here in PHINMA because I believe in their mission. Student success for me is when my students become better compared to what they before they enrolled here. It is very fulfilling to see that my students strive hard to achieve their goals in life. I am proud to be a teacher in PHINMA.

As a RAD instructor, it gave me the opportunity to relate and inspire my students to move forward and push through despite the hardships they are facing. Student success for me is not about getting high grades, but to overcome setbacks and failure and make them as a stepping stone to finish the course and achieve their goals.

Student Success Program has been really helpful not just for the students but also for the teachers. We are able to communicate with each other and learn from each other.

During my time as a faculty, I was once tasked to do home-to-home visit for the students who decided not to enroll for the semester. PHINMA has offered them options in order to help them continue their education. This is when I realized that PHINMA is indeed making lives better through education.

As an instructor, student success for me is when your student achieve satisfactory or superior level of academic performance as they progress through and complete their college experience.

2022-11-24 02:30:16 UTC

Teaching in PHINMA made me realized that being a teacher is not only teaching a certain subject, but it is more than that. We are also involved with the lives of our students, we are concern of the situations of our students. Some students cannot really cope up with some of our lessons, and in that moment we try to know why? So we reach out ,make connections and directions. So for me, they become closer to you and know them personally. Because of this, students become more confident and try their best in their learnings as they know you are there whom they can approach and ask for help and direction. I also really don't expect their appreciations, it is overwhelming and it makes your heart full. We become their strength as well one way or the other.

SSP

2022-11-24 20:49:30 UTC

For me SSP defines us as a 'Teacher'.SSP is our way to touch our students lives to make them feel that they are with us throughout the semester to help them and listen to their problems.

2022-11-27 13:47:59 UTC

In a short period of time, I was able to immerse myself in the university's distinct culture of student retention and achievement through SSP. For me, the SSP has really aided students in learning more about the institution and directing them in the appropriate direction for transforming their life via quality education. We had a lot of fun in our SSP sessions by completing activities and, most of the time, communicating with my advisoree outside of our SSP sessions. This is also how I get to know my pupils and learn about their lives outside of the classroom. I am certain that each student has a unique narrative to share, and SSP did not disappoint in allowing me to glimpse their experiences. Their experiences ranged from basic striving students to those who had faced life's hardships and tragedies. Many of my students had to get up at 4 a.m. to attend his classes in the morning. To fund his/her education, one must work part-time in a fastfood restaurant. One must hunt for a second job in order to support his parents. Many have broken homes, and some suffer from mental health concerns as a result unhealthy environment in which they reside. Many experiences have been told to me as a result of this program, and many individuals have been encouraged to seek aid and compassion. Thank you to the University's friendly community for being a tool for offering assistance and improving people's lives. I'm hopeful that this never-ending process of learning, assisting, and improving lives will reach the students who need it the most.

2022-11-28 01:04:38 UTC

Student success programs made me realize that I can deal with and address different situations. I really love the feeling that they will come to you and seek to advise and the smile that you will get will make your heart feel better. Indeed, Phinma legacy of making lives better through education is always visible.

Student success is my success. It is my greatest fulfilment to witness how they are able to realize their dreams.

2022-11-28 08:12:40 UTC

My SSP Story

2022-11-29 03:52:49 UTC

This is the first time I ever handled an advisory and classes with college students. It always makes my heart skip whenever I see the smiles of students and the simple “Thank you po, Ma’am” after our lessons. Some students message me thank you messages not just because of the lessons tackled but also because of some social issues and life lessons they learned as well which inspired them.

Students' success is our success too

2022-11-29 04:43:08 UTC

Students Academic success is important because it has a strong link to the good things we want to see happen.
As advisers, We want to see our students to do well in school and get a lot of education. Which means there are more likely to be working, to have stable jobs, and to have more job opportunities than those who don't get as much education.

Academic success is important because people will need more education in the future to work in jobs that require a lot of technology. Now, you need an education after high school to get a job.
Teenagers who do well in school have a higher sense of self-worth, feel less depression and anxiety, are more social, and are less likely to drink too much or use drugs.
Self-respect and self-confidence are important for students who want to do well in school.
On the other hand, it is not only about the students-teachers relationship, but also, Parents who were involved in their child's school and family life saw improvements in their child's behavior, grades, and interactions with other people. Having confidence in these basic academic skills is also important if you want to find and keep jobs that pay well, offer benefits, and give you chances to move up.
Every success stories of our students are our success too.

SSP Experience

2022-11-29 04:43:22 UTC

The memorable experience that I encountered as an SSP Adviser, is when I had to refer my student to GC. It was memorable to me because, when I talked to my student, it feels like I managed to utilized my counseling skills as a psych major.

SSP-First time

2022-11-29 05:51:19 UTC

I'm a newbie in Phinma Upang so first time handling SSP for a couple of year that i have experience in teaching in different school I find this program unique and effective why? It is very simple program but allows me to personally connect and motivate them with there studies. My goal as a teacher is to improve my student's education and help them grow knowledgably but the student success program tech me how to help and connect and push their goal and to be success in future.

I have been with the University of Pangasinan since 2006 but I only joined the Education Department of CELA (CSS before) in 2011, since then, we have already produced teachers who are now with us in the public schools. Some of these teachers are already making their own names in the department as Master Teachers and Division Officials. This is success for me, witnessing our former students who are becoming successful in their own fields.

SSP STORY

2022-12-02 17:33:59 UTC

SSP is a very challenging subject. With this program, you are not just a teacher. You are their Go To Person. and by that, you need to have patience, understanding and must be a good listener.
And by listening to different stories of different students you will realize that at some point they are the ones who motivates you and inspires you. Because despite of their struggles, they continue to pursue their dreams with your help and encouragement that made a big impact to their lives. And as an Instructor it is a privilege and a life changing experience.

SSP Story... I am not an SSP adviser but I believed that I also performed the tasks that they performed to the learners in my own little ways. As advisers, the need to monitor, to guide and to reach out the learners are the considered important functions. As a subject teacher like me, I monitored the progress of my learners, I reminded them if there is a need to cope with the lessons that were not clear to them. I guided them how to prepare their individual outputs so that they will not experience difficulty. I reached out to them esp those who are in need of the assistance in terms of their understanding the lessons and meeting the requirements needed. There is no big difference as to being an SSP adviser to a subject teacher like me, because both are after the welfare of every learner.

STUDENT SUCCESS

2022-12-05 02:25:31 UTC

Student Success for me, is being able to open up their potentials to prepare them for the world, not only in the intellectual aspect, but also their character, giving them the positive outlook in life that they may overcome all the challenges they may encounter. For in every student success, is another instructor's achievement.

Making lives better through education

2022-12-07 10:10:09 UTC

As a teacher, our task is not just to transmit knowledge and skills to our students but taking a bit of time and care to get to know them as individuals can make us more effective teacher.

Each person has a story to tell. We must give time to listen to their stories. We must know our students so that we can help them properly.

2022-12-08 17:35:30 UTC

My sole objective when first applying to this university was "improving lives through education." When I started teaching at the university, I became those words. I was aware that students struggled to attend class because I observed their struggles and their tears during my M&M sessions. When I see students in other uniforms when I visit the mall, I know that I am living up to the school's objective because they still recognize you as their teacher. You are aware that you contributed significantly to ensuring that every student I have taught has internalized the university's objective.

My SSP story as a new teacher.

2022-12-09 05:22:58 UTC

It's my first time handling SSP class and it's challenging for me because I have no idea how or what I'm going to teach them. It's fun and sad at the same time. You get to talk to them about their personal problems and some even worse. Sometimes I'm having a hard time solving their own problems. I also keep on motivating them to survive their college.

SSP story

2022-12-09 05:39:47 UTC

In my SSP subject, I was able to connect to my students and learn about their struggles. In this way, I was able to know their stories and by knowing their stories, I was able to guide and help them reach their aspirations in life.

Student Success Program

2022-12-09 06:31:07 UTC

SSP means to grow as a person not only in the field of academics but in a holistic way. To teach the students to form themselves in a manner of giving the best wisdom about life experiences. SSP is a preparation for the students to make the best decisions in life.

2022-12-09 09:11:40 UTC

With SSP, it allows us to connect with our students and helps us understand them better. We have students who are all smiles and would always post their happy moments on social media but once you are going to talk with them one by one, you will get to know their vulnerable side, the feelings they try to suppress.

As teachers, our goal is not just to teach our students but also empathize with them. They will be more motivated to pursue their studies knowing that their teachers care about them.

I believed that a student's success is a teacher's success. As an SSP adviser I believed that a student is successful when they know their goals in life and we are their to watch them achieve their dreams.

2022-12-10 06:55:38 UTC

Reconcile

2022-12-10 08:40:43 UTC

There are 2 particular students among all my SSP classes that stood out to me: the first one is a man in his late 40s (which we'll call "Dexter") who is married to a teacher and the other was my classmate in 7th grade. They both embody the spirit of reconciliation, that nothing really is too late if you choose to try again. Dexter is particularly struggling to keep up for aside his familial responsibilities, he has to catch up to a much different kind of education today wherein technology is more involved. Despite all that, he's doing his absolute best to learn and catch up, and luckily for him, his classmates, or should I say comrades, help him unconditionally. The other one was my classmate in grade 7 who, to my knowledge, was a very careless student. But it made me glad that he still took the courage to go on.

None is too late indeed.

Building rapport with other students and to be honest, it's not easy to handle an advisory class. But, it is fulfilling to see your students happy because they are guided properly

As a new teacher of RAD - BSBA, I can say that I am always here for my students and help them achieve theirs goals in life because through education it can be helpful in making their family's dream come true. I know I am not that experience in teaching but I can share my skills & knowledge when it comes to the real world outside the school. I would like also to say Thank you to Phinma-COC for giving me the opportunity to be one of the faculty to impart what I have learn from my previous jobs.

Student Success is a Program that helps and identify what kind of needs that the students may be qualified and to understands the situation of the students mat be having. As a SSP teacher, I have to be careful how to assist myt students because we have a different stories to tell and some are still writing theyre own pages of there lives. To achieve the sucess of eevery students that we know they are deserving to gain, we need to help them and understand theyre situation to avoid conflicts on theyre studies.

For me, Student Success is seeing students thrive in their studies not just academically but also in their behavior and seeing them having character developments and growth.

As a newly hired faculty my definition for student success is being one step ahead from your past self. Big or small achievements matter as long I'm not staying and I'm doing progress, its a success.

Its a great interaction between students and instructor, being able to share the knowledge that you have and help and inspire them. I think SSP also helps to create a healthy and active learning , because as a their instructor the success of my students is also my success .

I learned a lot about different stories and experiences that made me believe that these students will have a better future someday. As an adviser, I am proud of them by little and little progress.

Student Success Program is designed to help every student to achieve their academic goal and also the ultimate goal of the institution and to truly manifest its claim " success within reach".

Education has the remarkable power to transform lives and create a brighter future for individuals and societies alike. By equipping individuals with knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities, education opens doors to opportunities and empowers people to reach their full potential. It fosters personal growth, cultivates curiosity, and instills values that promote empathy, tolerance, and respect for diversity. Education not only enhances employability but also nurtures well-rounded individuals who are capable of making informed decisions, contributing to their communities, and tackling complex challenges. By making education accessible, inclusive, and of high quality, we can break the cycle of poverty, reduce inequalities, and build a more equitable world where everyone has a chance to succeed and thrive. Ultimately, education is a catalyst for positive change, enabling us to create a society where individuals can lead fulfilling lives and collectively shape a better future for all.

Kamustahan Sessions

2023-06-08 00:42:53 UTC

We have our "kamustahan" sessions in the Basic Education. It's just a light gathering with no academic stuffs to be discussed just purely fun and games to get away from serious matters in life. What is amazing about it despite the distance students are engaging in games with much gusto just like in a face to face classes. Perhaps because they miss being with their peers and classmates. There are moments students prefer to talk in private regarding their struggles in life which I really find time to listen to. There are really who would pour their hearts out and cry. The best that I could do is just listen and let the students feel that someone is there for him/her.
