NSTP GUIDELINES AND POLICIES FOR COMMUNITY IMMERSION
IN THE NEW NORMAL
INTRODUCTION
COVID 19 structured the so-called new normal and our only option is to embraceit
resiliently.
Due to the health protocols being implemented by the government, students and
teachers cannot go to work and perform the tasks that we are used to. This proves
that the presence of Covid-19 has impacted the teaching and learning landscapeof
the world.
Currently, this pandemic is causing a lot of adjustments that needed to be
implemented. It affects not just the delivery of the lessons, but most especially our
students learning mobility. As educators in this unplanned scenario, this is even
harder learning the profile of our students- most of them belong to the marginalized
sector of our society. For this reason, giving instructions to our students becomes
more challenging and takes a lot of courage and initiatives.
The context of ISPSC students is far more different than their counter parts in the
urbanized places where everything is possible with the presence of technology. Our
students are exceptional on which the lack of modern gadgets and internet
connection hamper most of their learning opportunities. This is where the learning
from the National Service Training Program course should be maximized even if it
seems to be very challenging.
