'Empathy is key to effective teaching'

AMID challenges in delivering education during the Covid-19 pandemic that forced the Department of Education (DepEd) to implement distance learning modalities, Teach for the Philippines (TFP) Teacher Fellow Juvhan Rebangcos accepted the deployment opportunity from TFP to travel to Negros Occidental in 2020.

Primarily, adapting and responding to Covid-19 protocols and restrictions were obstacles that TFP and other teacher fellows had to overcome, but he was grateful for TFP's efforts to ensure their physical and mental well-being and the support from local government units (LGUs) by accommodating them in bringing education services to learners.

Engr. Juvhan Rebangco finds fulfillment as Teach for the Philippines fellow in Negros Occidental, even able to teach children in their local dialect in less than a year. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
