The Commission on Higher Education conducted the Training of Trainers (ToT) for the new General Education Core Courses from October 10 to October 28, 2016. Eight faculty members handling General Education courses qualified for the training and underwent the intensive 18-day training at 6 different Delivering Higher Education Institutions.
The ToT aimed to assist Higher Education Institutions transition to the new GE Curriculum and enable the faculty to do the following: 1.) Learn the philosophy of liberal education, away from the highly disciplinal thrust of the current GE courses; 2.) teach the interdisciplinary GE courses using the new materials; 3.) serve as trainers of other GE faculty; and 4.) recognize, share, and disseminate the best practices in general education.
