February to May 2025
February to May 2025
From February 14 to May 16, 2025, educational leaders from Asia participated in Inward, Outward, Onwards: A Course on Whole Person Educational Leadership (WPEL). This certificate course aims to deepen the person of the leader, transform schools toward sustainability, and push boundaries of education through creativity and innovation.
The online modules were facilitated by featured experts in their respective fields:
Fr Johnny C Go, SJ for Reflective, Listening, Discerning, and Missioning Leadership
Dr Ma Assunta C Cuyegkeng for Missioning Leadership, Ecological Conversion, and Creativity & Innovation
Dr Charlotte Kendra Gotangco Gonzales for Systems Thinking
Ms Abigail Marie T Favis for Sustainability & Integral Ecology
Mr Galvin Radley L Ngo for Adaptive Design for Learning and Educational Technologies
Ms Marite P. Irvine for Innovation & Futures in Education
Dr Anne Lan K Candelaria for Developing Systems for Quality
Dr Regina M Hechanova Alampay for Building an Institutional Culture
Dr Antonette Palma Angeles for Partnerships for Learning & Growth
The course culminated in a 3-day leadership retreat held from May 14 to 16, 2025 at the JJ Atencio Lighthouse for New Learning in Areté. The participants also had an enriching visit to Intramuros, a famous historical site in Manila. The highlight of the retreat is the capstone project where the participants crafted and improved their WPEL roadmaps based on what they learned throughout the course, the context of their respective institutions, and from feedback from their peers.
Throughout the program, the participants were guided by their mentors, Dr. Edna P. Franco, Dr. Marie Joy R. Salita, Dr. Emily Ann I. Lombos, and Ms. Lillian S. Vergara, who facilitated their respective leadership circles throughout the course and the retreat. The leadership circles served as a way for the educational leaders to share insights with their peers and to converse with leaders from different contexts.
