He first heard about CVIF-DLP at a gathering of Catholic educators around 15 years ago. Among the invited speakers were CVIF-DLP founders Drs. Chris and Marivic Bernido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAlthough CVIF-DLP piqued my interest,\u201d recalled Bishop Presto, \u201cI didn\u2019t know a lot of schools had adopted the teaching strategy at that time. So, I thought, \u2018Why reinvent the wheel when the traditional method still works?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CVIF-DLP helps develop independent learners with the help of the CVIF-DLP Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) that break down complex concepts into simple lessons that students can easily follow. This method works particularly well with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education where a strong familiarity with foundational ideas is crucial to appreciate more advanced topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might have taken Bishop Presto more than a decade to finally decide to champion the CVIF-DLP across 20 Catholic diocesan schools in La Union, but he says, now is the perfect time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am more confident to advocate for the innovative teaching strategy now that it is being supported by PLDT and Smart. Their partnership with other schools and government agencies, especially the Department of Education (DepEd), has reassured me that we will also have that support once we start our own CVIF-DLP journey,\u201d said Bishop Presto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DepEd has also recognized the value of the CVIF-DLP in helping schools in areas that have been devastated by typhoons and other natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency has recently integrated CVIF-DLP as an alternative learning delivery method in times of crisis. The DepEd has piloted the program in select schools across Regions I, II, III, IV-A (CALABARZON), V, and the Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR) with a nationwide rollout expected within the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe CVIF-DLP complements the DepEd\u2019s existing teaching strategy. It supports the agency\u2019s five-point agenda under Sec. Juan Edgardo \u2018Sonny\u2019 Angara aimed at improving the country\u2019s basic education system,\u201d said Stephanie V. Orlino, AVP and Head of Stakeholder Management at PLDT and Smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DepEd has identified five key areas of priority. The list includes boosting learners\u2019 foundational skills in reading, math and science to improve Filipino students\u2019 performance in international large-scale assessments, professional development of teachers, employing digital innovations to augment existing teaching strategies, ensuring senior high school graduates are ready for employment, and improving educational infrastructures and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CVIF-DLP highlights the PLDT Group\u2019s commitment to inclusive quality education through Information and Communications Technology, content, pedagogy and capacity building to ensure that there is #NoLearnerLeftBehind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative is also aligned with the PLDT group\u2019s broad program to help the country achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 on quality education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishop Daniel Oca Presto of the Diocese of San Fernando of La Union is championing the rollout of the crisis-resilient teaching pedagogy.
