CTEquip 2026 Prepares Future Educators for Teaching Internship

Before future educators can command a classroom, they must first master the thinking behind every meaningful lesson.

Central Mindanao Colleges strengthened its teacher-preparation initiatives through CTEquip 2026, a lesson planning seminar and workshop held on August 14, 2026, designed to equip fourth-year education students with practical skills as they prepare for their upcoming teaching internship.

Organized by the College of Teacher Education (CTE), the activity brought together fourth-year education students for discussions, workshops, and presentations centered on effective lesson planning. The program provided participants with opportunities to deepen their understanding of instructional planning while applying concepts through guided and hands-on activities.

Mrs. Novabella L. Dagumanpan, Program Head of the BEED and BECED Programs, and Ms. Kayla T. Casulla, Program Head of the BSED Program, were present during the activity, highlighting the support of the College of Teacher Education for students as they prepare for their teaching internship.

Dr. Ricky Buenavia Pante, EdD, Education Program Supervisor (EPS) and Graduate School Education Faculty, served as the resource speaker and facilitator of the seminar and workshop. His sessions focused on essential concepts and practices in lesson planning, followed by a question-and-answer forum where participants clarified concepts and discussed instructional concerns relevant to their upcoming internship.

The activity continued with a hands-on workshop, allowing students to develop lesson planning outputs based on the principles discussed. Selected students from different majors subsequently presented their outputs, demonstrating their understanding and receiving feedback that could help refine their instructional planning skills before entering their internship.

Beyond lesson planning, CTEquip 2026 served as a preparatory experience for fourth-year education students as they move closer to their teaching internship. The initiative connected academic learning with practical classroom preparation, reinforcing CMC’s commitment to developing future educators equipped to plan meaningful instruction, facilitate learning, and respond effectively to the needs of their learners.

The initiative also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, by strengthening the preparation and professional competencies of future educators. It also contributes to SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth by helping students develop relevant skills and professional readiness as they transition into the teaching profession.
