About
My name is Jackylen D. Buenavista, and I am a Senior High School English teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience in DepEd, Philippines. I also have 1 year of experience teaching Grade 4 in a private school. For the past 9 years, I have served as Senior High School Coordinator, English teacher, and Class Adviser in my school. This leadership role has allowed me to guide both students and fellow teachers, while also handling the academic and pastoral needs of my students.
My core skills include lesson planning, classroom management, differentiated instruction, and student assessment. As an English teacher, I design engaging, student-centered lessons in Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Literature that are aligned with the curriculum. I use formative assessments such as exit tickets, quizzes, group discussions, and writing activities to check for understanding. I am also skilled in integrating technology in the classroom through PowerPoint, and interactive tools to make English learning more fun, interactive, and meaningful. As a coordinator, I also have strong skills in mentoring teachers, organizing school programs, and collaborating with parents and school administrators.
In terms of my education, I have earned 27 units in Master in Instructional Leadership and 18 units in Master of Arts in Teaching. These graduate studies have strengthened my knowledge in curriculum development, instructional leadership, pedagogy, and learner-centered teaching, and have helped me become a more effective and reflective educator and leader.
One of my greatest achievements is being able to create a positive and inclusive classroom where students feel safe, motivated, and confident to express themselves in English. As a coordinator and adviser, I have mentored struggling learners through intervention and reading programs, guided students in their academic and personal growth, and actively led school programs such as Brigada Eskwela, LAC sessions, and co-curricular activities. I have also developed contextualized learning materials to help students better understand difficult English concepts and connect them to real-life situations.
