The University of the Philippines Manila College of Allied Medical Professions (UP CAMP) took an active role in empowering Special Education (SPED) and Kindergarten teachers during a division-wide capacity-building program organized by the Department of Education (DepEd) Manilaโs Curriculum Implementation Division. Held on November 28 at Dr. Albert Elementary School, Dapitan, Manila, the event aimed to equip educators with innovative teaching strategies and updated curriculum content to enhance their professional growth.
The training focused on:

- Charting ways forward for DepEd Manila Schools to create more inclusive environments.
Several faculty members from UP CAMP served as resource speakers, sharing their expertise to inspire and guide the participants. Asst. Prof. Guia Rabacca provided strategies to help teachers adapt to students’ diverse behaviors in the classroom. Asst. Prof. Mike Valdez emphasized the critical role of effective communication in fostering learning and engagement. Asst. Prof. Grace Kang highlighted ways to adapt physical activities for learners with special needs.
