About
Hello to the Selection Committee and School District Principals! My name is Mylene, and I am an enthusiastic Elementary Generalist and Science Teacher from the Philippines.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Educational Management, with over 21 years of rich classroom experience dedicated to nurturing young minds. I have been an adviser of Grade 1 and 2 for 2 years in the private school (handled English 1, Math 2 and Science 2). On my first two years in the public school, I handled Grade 2 and 3 and taught all core subjects. I was transferred to Grade 5 to handle MAPEH and GMRC along with Science 5 and for over 17 years, I have specialized as a Grade 5 Science Teacher where I developed a true passion for integrating technology into daily lessons. And being a Grade 5 IT Coordinator since 2020 has deepened my understanding and utilization of ICT technology. I am currently managing large dynamic classes of 45-46 pupils across 7 sections. Through this experience, I have successfully designed and implemented interactive activities that empower students to actively participate in their own learning.
In my home country, my dedication to student engagement earned me the honor of being a 5-time District Champion and 2-time Division Champion for creating electronic interactive learning games and multimedia intervention tools. I firmly believe that when science lessons are hands-on, contextualized, and creative, every child can succeed! Beyond the classroom, I serve my school community as the Faculty Club secretary and at the same time a School Parent-Teacher Association Secretary, which keeps me deeply connected to families and collaborative school programs.
My goal for joining this J-1 Cultural Exchange Program is twofold: to share the warmth, resilience, and rich heritage of Filipino culture with American students, and to immerse myself in advanced global pedagogies that I can bring back to benefit my local community.
Thank you so much for reviewing my portfolio, and I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to inspire students in your school district soon. Have a wonderful day!
