Teachers are often referred to as “second parents” because they play a significant role in influencing a child’s development and experiences. As secondary guardians, they provide care, support, and guidance beyond the four corners of the home.
That’s why Superbook is thrilled to hold its first-ever teachers’ training to empower and equip educators with God’s Word and make a lasting, transformative impact on the next generation. A total of 37 participants, composed of daycare, preschool, and Sunday school teachers, eagerly attended the training in Christ Reigns Ministries Church last October 22, 2024 in Baguio City.
It was an afternoon filled with anticipation and enthusiasm as the teachers learned how to use Superbook into their lesson plans. Teacher Abby Rodolfo, one of the attendees, shared “During the training, I was particularly drawn to the teaching outline presented, as it helps me set a standard. You don’t just let the students watch the episode; the facilitator provides a step-by-step plan that helps the kids retain the lesson.”
After providing the teachers with essential resources and support, they split into small groups to apply what they learned. They had fun brainstorming creative ways to share the Superbook episode with their students using the teaching outline.
Icko Gonzalez, Special Projects Manager, has hopeful expectations following the training. He said, “I really hope we were able to equip the teachers with the basic skills on how they can use Superbook as a supplement to what they are already doing. I hope that they will take it to heart and fly with it.”
Superbook is more than just an episode that kids watch; it’s a valuable teaching resource that educators can use to make a meaningful impact on their students. This is what Teacher Norman San Juan, the curriculum coordinator and facilitator, aims to communicate. He shared, “The younger generation is surrounded by many influences, and we want to teach them the Word of God through Superbook. Our goal is to share that same mission and vision with the teachers.”
What makes this groundbreaking event more memorable is its location—Baguio, regarded as the Education Center of the North. Many young people flock to this city in search of educational opportunities. Pastor Jojo Solis and his wife, Pem, who graciously hosted the event in their humble church, are driven by the desire to influence young minds with the Word of God through Superbook.
“Our mission has been towards the youth and children ever since we started this ministry. Our big idea is to bring Superbook to all barangays. A lot of young minds are being molded here that’s why this is our battle cry. If you cannot feed them with the righteousness of God, they risk losing their way,” Pastor Jojo exclaimed.
