Faculty Development Seminar Empowers CCDC College of Health Education

LA TRINIDAD—With the start of classes fast approaching, faculty members at the CCDC College of Health Education (CHE) are prepared to inspire their students. This renewed sense of purpose comes after a faculty development seminar held on August 4, 2025 at the CCDC Microteaching Laboratory.

Dean Marivel D. Munoz of the CHE department shared her enthusiasm, “We’re now more ignited to teach and ready to inspire our 1,000+ CHE students in Nursing, Midwifery, and Pharmacy.”

The seminar, a collaborative effort between the CHE and the Guidance and Human Resource offices, was facilitated by Ralph and Myra Ballesteros from Elevate La Trinidad. The theme, “Bridging Differences while Re-charging our Passion for Education,” focused on promoting understanding, acceptance, and unity among educators.

This professional development was particularly timely given the growing student population in the CHE department. Faculty members recognized the need to effectively promote inclusivity while maintaining their passion for teaching, acknowledging that differences in culture, beliefs, and learning styles among students and colleagues can be valuable opportunities for growth.

The seminar successfully created a supportive environment, reminding educators of their crucial role in student success and emphasizing the importance of their own mental and emotional well-being.
