NBSC-ITE BECED CONDUCTS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL MANUAL MAKING UNDER SUL2IP-PHASE III
The Sustainable Learning Linkage to Isolated Places Places (SUL2IP)-Phase III, an extension research project of Northern Bukidnon State College’s Institute for Teacher Education (NBSC-ITE) Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (BECED) program, successfully conducted its 1st Quarter Instructional Materials Manual Making for Early Childhood on April 29-30, 2026, at Dream Golftel, San Miguel, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.
The project was spearheaded by Noraisah U. Radaza, MA, Project Lead, together with ECE proponents: Rolyn Z. Baquial, MA; Dave G. Laga, MA; Mary Ann Charmaine O. Tapulayan-Dumana, MA; Helen B. Ajon, MA; Anna Marie D. Genita, Ph.D; Jovenel B. Dadulla, MA; Mary Cris J. Go, Ph.D; Dulce Amor S. Loquias, Ph.D; and Christine C. Royo, Ph.D. Their expertise contributed to the creation of high-quality instructional manuals that support holistic child development and responsive teaching practices.
The activity was strengthened through the participation of representatives from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD), led by Miss Catherine Palomar, Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Focal Person, along with Child Development Center (CDC) teachers from Minsuro, Lunocan, and Mantibugao. This collaboration showed the vital role of partnerships in enhancing early childhood education delivery across communities.
Participants engaged in hands-on workshops, collaborative discussions, and material development sessions, resulting in instructional resources designed to improve teaching strategies and learner engagement in early childhood settings.
A significant highlight of the event was the turnover of Big Books and the 2nd Quarter Teaching Guide, outputs developed during SUL2IP – Phase II, which were formally handed over to partner Child Development Centers. This initiative ensures continuity of support by providing teachers with ready-to-use, contextually relevant instructional materials that enhance classroom instruction and learner participation.
The activity was further enriched by Phoebe Joy A. Batonghinog, MAEd-CE, a teacher from Tingalan Integrated School under the Department of Education (DepEd), who served as the resource speaker and facilitator. She guided participants in crafting and developing instructional materials (IMs), providing practical techniques and expert insights to ensure quality, relevance, and usability in early childhood classrooms.
The delegation extends its sincere appreciation to the college administration for their steadfast support and leadership: College President Christie Jean Villanueva-Ganiera, Ed.D., CESE; Vice-President for Academic Affairs Jovelyn G. Delosa, Ph.D; and Alven L. Gomez, MSEST, Director for the Community Extension Services Division (CESD). Their continued commitment to academic excellence and community engagement has been instrumental in the success of this initiative.
As an extension research project of the ITE–BECEd program, SUL2IP – Phase III reinforces its mission to bridge educational gaps by promoting sustainable learning partnerships and empowering educators in isolated communities, ensuring that quality early childhood education is accessible to every child. This, in turn, contributes to NBSC’s continued development as it deepens engagement with field-based work that informs both instruction and community collaboration.
