Personal Prayer of a

teacher
 Prayer

Lord, help me to share wisdom to my students,

To see the individual potential of every student I teach.

Lord, please fill me with your patience as I teach others,

Help me to keep giving of my time and energy, especially to those who struggle the most.

Lord, please give me your understanding as I am with my class,

help me to depend totally on You,

For You are the source of our strength, courage and peace.

I ask all this through Christ our lord,

our Savior Amen.

Personal philosophy
about the learner, the
teacher and values
 Philosophy
As a teacher, it is a must to have faith, passion and commitment to teach the learner to what

extend I could inculcate to them the required information. A good teacher must recognize must

recognize the differences or diversity of the learner. Because I want all my students to achieve

their dreams, so as a teacher I should be more flexible in choosing learning methods. I know most

learning happens through social interaction; therefore, I always see to it to check their works or

project every class hour.

As a teacher he/she must know the subjects. I know the good teacher must have a deep

appreciation of how knowledge is created in the discipline, how it is organized and how it is linked

to other disciplines. I use my knowledge of the discipline to implement learning styles in my

classroom. I see to it that my instructions are relevant, current and achievable. It is not also limited

as a teacher in school but also to be their second parent and a brother to them.

Values
 Integrity

 Responsible

 Respect

 Humble
Brief Description of the Site of
School
 Southern Christian College History
Southern Christian College has its story of origin, the people or circumstances that

launched it, and who’s who managed its course thereafter. Through evolutionary development —

the original concept of SCC as a Protestant school was shaped and reshaped into an organic

collection of traditions and distinctive ways. Rev. Proculo Rodriguez of Silliman University visited

Midsayap in 1937. He met Mr. Bibiano Quinones and Mr. and Mrs. Fernando dela Serna and they

struck the spark of putting up a Protestant school in Mindanao. The idea was nurtured; however,

the dream did not come true even though Maguindanao Institute was opened in June 1941.

Maguindanao Institute was registered as non-sectarian, a stock corporation with 37 stockholders.

Mr. Quinones, with more than half of the shares of stocks of Maguindanao Institute, offered to

donate his shares of stock to the new school. This kind of gesture was influential in the decision

of choosing Midsayap as the site of Southern Christian College.

The Cotabato and Davao Conferences bought the present site from the stockholders of the

defunct Maguindanao Institute that dissolved itself and paved the way for the new Christian school,

Southern Christian College (SCC). The members of the women’s organization of both conferences

raised initial contribution, cash or in-kind, to start the school’s operation. SCC was established as

a non-stock, non-profit religious educational institution in 1949. It was registered with the

Securities and Exchange Commission as an educational arm of the United Church of Christ in the

Philippines.

The original incorporators, who also composed the first Board of Trustees, were: Atty.

Florentino L. Martinez, Mr. Claudio P. Fajardo, Rev. Elton Brown, Mr. Clemente Dimafeliz, Dr.

Samuel Royola, Rev. Manuel J. Villanueva, Mr. Fernando dela Cerna, Mr. Bibiano Quinones, Mr.

Juan Cruzado, and Mr. Emilio Abarico.

Since its foundation, Church Workers, either layperson or minister has administered

Southern Christian College. Atty. Florentino L. Martinez served the SCC in 1949 to the 1950; Rev.
Angel J. Alvaro, 1950-53; Prof. Guillermo Magdamo, 1953-1960; Bishop Proculo Rodriguez,

1960-63; Dr. Eliezer D. Mapanao (1965-1987); Dr. Filemon L. Lagon (1987-1994); Dr. Eliezer D.

Mapanao (1994-1997); Dr. Erlinda N. Senturias (August 1, 1997 – May 31,2007); Dr.Melanio L.
