The ninth episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Guidance Center Higher Education Unit is entitled "Wonder Teacher, Ikaw Naman! Self Care and Wellbeing for Teachers and Staff Amidst the Current Crisis".

On the occasion of World Teacher’s Day, the ADDU College Guidance Center with the Ignatian Spirituality and Formation Office(ISFO) will give tribute to our teachers and school workers who are models of heartfelt dedication and commitment through this event in order to promote their wellbeing.

Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students. Beyond teaching the subject matter, this is extended to a chance to take care of the learner. Taking care of the learner is the most challenging part of being a teacher because it takes the whole self to do so- mind, heart and spirit.

Teachers and school workers are also human beings who need care too. How can we thrive as teachers especially during this difficult time? As we witness the suffering of our students and help them cope with their issues, we are also dealing with our own realities.To be a teacher nowadays requires stamina and lot of energies not only with academic pursuits but with dealing with the learner as a person in distress. Self-care and wellbeing are necessary to reach our potentials and mold the potential of our students in the classroom and beyond.
