During the training the participants were capacitated to design an indigenized teacher’s guide for utilization in classroom instruction.
They gained new teaching approaches and techniques on how to develop learning tools that helped them to be effective teachers and school heads in serving the IP communities in the island.

Meanwhile, activities that promote life-giving relationship with the ancestral domain to sharpen their awareness on their environment, nurture for their land and nature, develop responsibility in protecting and sustaining the environment were also given.
