Welcome to my Special Project ePortfolio!
This ePortfolio showcases my Special Project of an instructional design for my project locale, MovEd La Huerta, Parañaque Learning Lab. This is a culmination of everything I have done in my Special Project, including evidence of accomplishments or achievements of the course objectives and my critical reflection of my personal experiences, performance, and learning while doing the Special Project.
My Special Project is entitled Play-Based Multi-Sensory Instructional Materials for Cognitive & Language Development of Preschool Learners, which is based upon the identified instructional gap of my target learners. In line with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, this special project supports SDG Goal 4 of Quality Education, specifically the target of equal access to pre-primary education by 2030.
Foremost, I would like to glorify Almighty God for giving me the strength, knowledge, and will to finish this Special Project. All glory and honor is His. ☝🏼
I dedicate this Special Project to my parents and loved ones, who have been so supportive of my academic journey, especially my mom, Eve, and my partner, Yoio, who would drive me to MovEd La Huerta whenever I needed to visit. You have been my source of strength to just keep going especially in moments when I feel lost and confused.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my FIC, Sir Leynard Gripal, for the guidance all throughout the duration of the Special Project, and to my content expert, Program Chair Dr. Celeste Laurel Tayzon, for sharing her knowledge and expertise which have helped me accomplish this project. Thank you for being so kind and accommodating to my inquiries and for being supportive and encouraging. I will always be honored and grateful to have learned from the both of you.
Thank you to my gatekeeper, Ms. Diana Marie Cruz, and to the whole Move.Org Foundation Inc. for agreeing to partner with me in this Special Project and for welcoming me wholeheartedly into your foundation. To Ms. Janna Verona for facilitating the finalization of this partnership with MovEd; to Teacher Anna and Teacher Gerlie, who have been so cooperative and helpful to me from analysis up to the implementation phase; to the MovEd La Huerta parents and learners, for giving me your consent in doing this project, thank you.
A special shoutout to my BEShies, Shara and Ryan, for keeping me motivated to finish the BES program. I am so grateful to have found real friends in UPOU despite our unique learning set up. Thank you for the friendship that we have established that transcends beyond the virtual world.
Finally, my deepest appreciation to UP Open University for giving learners like us -- who, for whatever circumstances, are unable to attend traditional school-- the opportunity and the avenue to continue and finish our education. Lagi't lagi, Iskolar ng bayan para sa bayan. ✊🏼
