ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTHENING
CEAP REGION 1 HOLDS MANAGEMENT COURSE for SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS IN SLC
In response to the clamor among religious school administrators for training on matters concerning
school administration and management, the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines Region 1
Board thru Saint Louis College, conducted a Management Course for School Administrators (MCSA) from
April 12 to May 14, 2010. The MCSA was conceived primarily to provide an intensive training program
on the administration and management of basic education schools. This program was co-sponsored by
Fund Assistance for Private Education (FAPE), Diwa Learning Systems and Vibal Publishing.
In many ways, the MCSA was a revival of the
Summer Institute Program conducted by Rev. Fr.
Roger Tjolle, CICM, during the last quarter of the
previous century and who had left a legacy of
effective and efficient school administration and
supervision among many school officials of CICM
institutions and other Catholic schools. As a CICM
school, SLC, imbued with a deep concern for the
furtherance and promotion of the highest
standards of academic excellence and professional
leadership, organized on behalf of CEAP Region,
the MCSA through the College of Arts and
Sciences-Education, in order to provide and share
its training program on school management.
The MCSA aimed to enable the participant to examine and rethink their most basic assumptions about
school management and leadership and to provide them the opportunity for self-reflection and personal
discovery in order to help them as ascending educational leaders to refine their judgment, enhance their
managerial skills and increase their confidence.
The MCSA provided intensive sessions on thee (3) course which the participants enrolled simultaneously
and subsequently completed satisfactorily. These earned them the equivalent of three (3) units each or
a total of nine (9) units in the Master of Arts major in Educational Administration program. The courses
were as follows: Educ 254P (Educational Administration and Supervision cum Practicum; Educ 250P
(Legal Bases of Education); and Educ 322 (Human Resource Management). The courses were
competently facilitated by members of SLC Management Staff, who have been trained by Fr. Tjolle,
CICM, renowned guru of educational administration and supervision.
The following experts in the field of school leadership
and educational management served as facilitators in
the three (3) courses, namely, Educ 254P: Fr. Gilbert B.
Sales, CICM, MAEM, SLC President; Lea L. de Guzman,
EdD, VP – Academics; Maria Lourdes R. Almojuela, EdD,
Program Head for Graduate Studies; and Danilo D.
Romero, ME Gen Sci, Principal – BedS; Educ 250P:
Antonia N. Dag-o, EdD, VP-Administration and Atty.
Edwin C. Siapco, Dean of the College of Law; and Educ
322: Aurora R. Carbonell, EdD, Dena of Arts and
Sciences-Education; Rosario C. Garcia,DBA, Dean of
Commerce, Secretarial and Accountancy; and Nella
Brenda P. Espinueva, MA Psych, Human Resources
Officer.
Leading the Force. Fr. Gilbert B. Sales, CICM,
MAEM led the rooster of competent facilitators.
The MCSA 2010 was also highlighted by SeminarWorkshop on “Superior Learning for School Leaders”
sponsored by Diwa Learning Systems, Inc. and held
May 12-14 at the Lima Park Hotel;, Batangas City. It
featured the following invaluable inputs from equally
competent and topnotch speakers and resources
persons.
Dr. Milagros C. Ibe, discussed “A Closer Look at
Understanding by Design (UbD),” a curriculum
innovation to be implemented in secondary schools by
SY 2010-2011. Ms. Rosario Cesario talked on “Leaders
Learning from Leaders” as an interactive modality of
enhancing one’s leadership skills. Mr. Jose Ma. T.
Policarpio’s talk on “Emerging Trends and
Technologies in Education” focused on the school
manager’s gaining the necessary skills and
competencies in the selection and utilization of various
teaching strategies using different technologies to
enhance effective learning.
Mr. Chinkee Tan’s discussion of “Managing Change”
provided the participants meaningful insights and
clearer understanding of the dynamics of change
particularly in the educational milieu.
Dr. Saturnino G. Belen, Jr.’s presentation on the topic
“Leaders’ Summit” enabled the participants to become
appreciative of the challenging tasks of leadership,
particularly in Catholic schools, as evangelizers and as
stewards of God’s creation towards building God’s
kingdom.

II. RESOURCE MOBILIZATION FOR TYPHOONS ONDOY AND PEPING VICTIMS
Typhoons Ondoy and Peping hit hard Region I and has left devastation in most of our CEAP Schools.
Despite the challenges wrought by these two typhoons, our CEAP Schools responded immediately to
help our people in relief and rehabilitation efforts in their respective provinces.
Divine Word Urdaneta, St. Louis College of La Union, St. Paul College of Vigan and Divine Word College
of Laoag were used as evacuation centers and drop-off points for relief goods, which were eventually
distributed by the school staff to various areas hit hard by the typhoon. Monetary contributions were
solicited in our CEAP schools and passed to NASSA Provincial Chapters for distribution. We would like to
commend our Provincial CEAP Coordinators for their efforts in helping our people during the typhoons.
