 Honestly speaking, I am an ordinary multi-grade teacher and at the same time the school head in

San Rafael Elementary school who does teaching in the traditional way that is “Chalk and Talk”. I only

teach the lesson or topic confined or indicated in the curriculum with time bound. I usually deliver and

present the different lessons in a single strategy, the Traditional way of Teaching.

I have been experiencing preparing Learning Plans in my subject area but all those have limitation.

But preparing, designing and planning Personal Lifelong Learning Plan is much different from all other

Learning Plan I prepared. I experienced difficulties during the preparation and planning of the PLLP.

Before writing the plan there are many things to consider e.g. I have to assume that I am a 21st century

teacher, I should know the Four Pillars of Learning, I must know within myself the 21st century skills and

the 21st Century Literacies. I should also know what Personal Lifelong Learning is and I should develop

and possess the Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, and Values (KSAVs) needed to cope with the changes in the

21st century education.

I have to take into consideration that designing a Personal Lifelong Learning Plan is not easy task

because this is the plan of my progress from one learning level to the next throughout my lifetime. And

also, I took many paths in designing this Personal Lifelong Learning Plan. However, one path for success

begins reviewing the seven 21st century Literacies. I should know every literacy by heart because it will

help me lay the ground work for creating a successful learning plan.

Writing Personal Lifelong Learning Plan is such difficult task but once accomplished this will be

my assurance of being focus and directed in my personal and professional development. I can also create,

control, manage and direct my students‘ learning and helping them develop the Knowledge, Skills,

Attitudes and Values they need to succeed in their studies and works as the new challenges of the 21st

Century Education.

Implementation of this Personal Lifelong Learning Plan may encounter challenges or difficulties

but it is possible to accomplish for the preparation of the challenges of 21st century education for we have

to make changes within ourselves and in education itself.

Be 21st Century Teachers equipped with 21st century KSAVs.
