Central Mindanao Colleges Field Study students completed
another important milestone in their preparation for the teaching profession as
they concluded their learning experience at Lanao National High School on
September 2, 2026.
Their placement provided more than classroom observation. It
gave the students direct exposure to the rhythm of school life, the
responsibilities of teachers, the needs of learners, and the relationships that
make teaching a deeply human profession.
Through daily interaction with the school community, the CMC
Field Study students gained a clearer understanding of how educators guide
learners, manage classroom realities, respond to different needs, and carry
professional responsibilities with patience and care.
The experience also helped the students connect theories from
their professional education courses with actual classroom situations. What
they observed, heard, and experienced inside the school became practical
lessons that strengthened their readiness for future teaching assignments.
CMC expressed its appreciation to Lanao National High School,
under the leadership of Luzvisaminda Dequit, School Head, for welcoming the
Field Study students and allowing them to learn within an authentic school
environment. The institution likewise recognized the teachers, staff, and
learners whose support, guidance, and everyday interactions helped make the
experience worthwhile.
The warm message extended by the Lanao National High School
community further reflected the impact of the students’ stay. Their presence
was remembered not only through classroom activities, but also through
conversations, shared moments, and connections formed with learners during the
Field Study period.
For the future educators, these experiences served as a
reminder that teaching is not defined by lesson delivery alone. It is also
shaped by trust, consistency, empathy, responsibility, and the ability to
create learning experiences that students will remember.
Field Study therefore became more than an academic requirement.
It served as a professional learning space where future teachers could observe,
reflect, adapt, and better understand the standards expected of them as they
move closer to actual classroom practice.
The experience advances SDG 4: Quality Education through
practice-based teacher preparation, SDG 5: Gender Equality through the
promotion of inclusive and equitable learning environments, and SDG 17:
Partnerships for the Goals through the collaboration between Central Mindanao
Colleges and Lanao National High School in preparing future educators.
As their Field Study chapter at Lanao National High School came
to a close, the CMC students moved forward with more than completed
requirements. They carried with them professional insights, meaningful
memories, stronger confidence, and a clearer sense of the kind of educators
they hope to become.
The classrooms they entered as observers may one day become the
classrooms they lead. The experience has ended, but their preparation for the
profession continues.
Choose CMC, where excellence roars.
