“Empowering Future Educators Through Ethics and Law”

College of Teacher Education Conducts Seminar on Professional Ethics and Legal Responsibilities in Teaching

The College of Teacher Education of the Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology (ASIST) conducted a seminar-training titled “Professional Ethics and Legal Responsibilities in Teaching” on April 20, 2026, at the Social Hall, Gabaldon Building, Bangued Campus. The activity gathered second-year students enrolled in Professional Education 63: The Teaching Profession from BEED, BECED, BSED (Science, English, Filipino, Math), BTVTED, and BTLED programs.

The seminar aimed to deepen students’ understanding of teachers’ rights, duties, and responsibilities, as well as the legal foundations that guide the teaching profession. It emphasized the importance of professionalism, ethical conduct, and accountability among future educators. The Prof Ed 63 Course faculty organized the activity to help students connect their classroom learning to real-life teaching situations.

The event featured invited resource speakers, Atty. Mc Vernon Balubal and Atty. Jaymart B. Bello, who shared their expertise on educational laws and professional ethics. Atty. Balubal discussed the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, highlighting teacher welfare, rights, and privileges. Atty. Bello further explained legal responsibilities and provided guidance on handling ethical issues and decision-making in the school setting.
Key topics covered during the seminar included the Education Act of 1982 (BP 232), Teachers as Persons in Authority (CA 578), and RA 7877 or the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, along with other relevant laws that support safe, fair, and professional learning environments. These discussions helped students better understand their role as future educators who must uphold discipline, integrity, and respect.

The activity was made possible through the initiative of the Training Coordinator, Ms. Susann M. Bernardez. It was further strengthened by the support of the faculty members teaching the course, Dr. Calixto Valera and Dr. Dioniso Visco. Special appreciation is also extended to the CTE Dean, Dr. Marian Loren B. Valera who also delivered a heartfelt message to the student participants. To the Program Heads: Mr. Ramir Bañez (BEED), Dr. Dexter Ulidan (BECED), Dr. Emalyn Bisares (BTLED), and Ms. Ann Creia Tupasi (BTVTED) for their guidance and support in the successful conduct of the activity.

The seminar served as a very insightful learning experience for the participants, strengthening their awareness of ethical standards and legal accountability in the teaching profession.
The activity concluded with a message encouraging students to apply what they have learned and continue developing themselves as competent, ethical, and law-abiding educators committed to quality education. (April 20, 2026)

This Holy Week, we are reminded to pause, reflect, and find peace within ourselves. In the middle of our busy lives, may we choose calmness in our hearts and take time for quiet prayer and reflection.

It is also a time for penance—acknowledging our shortcomings, learning from them, and striving to become better individuals, not just for ourselves but for others as well.

As we face life’s challenges, may we hold on to our faith. Let it guide us, strengthen us, and remind us that we are never alone in our struggles.

May this season bring us peace, renewed hope, and a deeper sense of purpose as one community.

Blessed Holy Week to everyone.

CTE: Excellence Beyond the Classroom

Last March 25, 2026, the College of Teacher Education uniquely celebrated day two of the Students’ Week with the theme “Excellence Beyond the Classroom.” The day was filled with fun, learning, and teamwork—showing that students can grow not just inside the classroom, but beyond it.

The BEED and BECED programs held engaging seminars on child protection, safety, anti-bullying, and Gender and Development (GAD). The sessions became more meaningful with resource speakers from the Philippine National Police office, together with faculty members from the College, who shared practical knowledge and real-life insights on keeping learners safe and respected.

The BSED program brought energy and excitement through a quiz bee covering Professional Education, General Education, current events, and Gender and Development topics. This was followed by online games and a cheerful tug-of-war among sections that highlighted teamwork and unity.

Meanwhile, the BTLED and BTVTED programs showcased their creativity and skills through a display of innovative products in industrial technology and food services management. From unique food creations to inventive outputs, the friendly competition reflected both talent and inclusivity.

The event was a great success, made possible through the full support of the College Dean, Dr. Marian Loren B. Valera, and the Program Heads: Mr. Ramir Bañez (BEED), Dr. Dexter Ulidan (BECED), Dr. Emalyn Bisares (BTLED), and Ms. Ann Creia Tupasi (BTVTED).

Led by the Future Mentors Guild, together with the different program organizations and their advisers, the celebration truly showed that learning, respect, and teamwork go hand in hand—proving that excellence goes beyond the classroom. 💙✨
