On July 16, 2004, the Grade
School Faculty of St. Scholastica's
College, Manila, threw a party to celebrate the sixtieth birthday
of Mrs. Florina F. Castillo, the unit's retiring head. A
short prayer service, simple merienda and a program were held in
the presence of S. Josefina Nepomuceno, OSB, SSC President and
Prof.
Naty Crame-Rogers. The celebration was held at the Sr. Kuniberta Hall, amidst the heavy rains and claps of thunder outside. Each grade level presented improvised prayers addressed to the honoree. During the |
|
program, the
teachers underscored Mrs. Castillo's unfolding - from a simple
seventh grader to becoming an accomplished educator and innovator.
Some of her most applauded projects were innovations on learning
modules: Search for the Filipino, Peace Week, Peace Congress,
Peace Camp; the Small Group Prescribed Instruction with Individual
Pacing (SGPIIP) and the Drama and Theater in Education (DTIE)
approaches to instruction and such concepts as "Catching the
Moment", "The Pedagogy of Presence", and "In Touch with the
Masters". In response, Mrs. Castillo recited a haiku she had composed for the whole faculty. |
