Having been a Principal from\nnumerous schools, she envisions ASAT as \u201c<em>a haven for responsible digital\ncitizenship where technology will play a very significant role in its\nmanagement and operations, especially in its delivery of curriculum and\ninstructions to the learners.\u201d <\/em>Knowing that each learner has different\nlearning needs, her supervisory approach is \u201cunderstanding each teacher&#8217;s\nstrengths and supervisory needs so that each teacher can have <em>\u201cownership of\nthe process\u201d<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She gained her\neducation from Public and Private Schools.

From June 1991-2009, she worked at DepEd Santa Teresita\nNational High School, starting as a Secondary School Teacher-I, then as a\nMaster Teacher-I, and later as Master Teacher-II. She was the school paper\nadviser of \u201cThe Theresian\u201d and the publication won awards in the Division and\nRegional Press Conferences. She was also designated Adviser of the Supreme\nStudent Government (SSG). From 2009-2011, she was School Principal-I at SDO\nCagayan, Casambalangan National High School, Casambalangan, Santa Ana, Cagayan.\nShe initiated the construction of a 2-Classroom Building donated by the\nPhilippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The school site was inhabited by\ninformal settlers and she initiated their relocation through the help of the\nLocal Government Unit (LGU) of Santa Ana. From 2012-2017, she was Principal-II\nat SDO Cagayan, Rebecca National High School, Rebecca, Gonzaga, Cagayan. While\nat this School, in 2015-2016, the school was 1st Runner-Up in the Congressional\nSearch for Best Brigada Eskuela Implementer, and, 2nd Runner-Up in the Division\nLevel Search for Best Brigada Eskuela Implementer, Exceptional Category. From\n2017-2022, she was School Principal II at Gonzaga National School, Smart,\nGonzaga, Cagayan. She accomplished the following: 1) Initiated the acquisition\nof School Lot Title thru the Project Acquisition of Land Ownership Thru School\nLot Titling- \u201cProject-A-LOTS\u201d. 2) Initiated the implementation of the Special\nProgram in the Arts (SPA), a special curriculum that caters to the needs of\nlearners who excels in Dance, Music, Theater and the Arts. 3) Initiated the\npilot testing of the Google Suite for Education-using the Google Classroom as\nthe main platform in On-Line Distance Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic,\nthis innovation partly solved the classroom backlogs of Gonzaga NHS. 4) Initiated\nthe implementation of the Senior High School Alternative Learning System\n(SHS-ALS)-a special program that caters to the educational needs of learners\nusing modular system learning where learners study the modules at their own\npace and seek the assistance of their Mobile Teachers for competencies that are\ndifficult to comprehend.<br>\n<br>\nShe\nattended the following webinars, seminars &amp; trainings: 1) SEAMEO SEN\nWebinar-New Normal for Special Education. 2) SEAMEO VOCTECH (Southeast Asian\nMinisters of Education Organization) Regional Centre for Vocational &amp;\nTechnical Education and Training in Brunei Darussalam, March 01-03, 2016\n\u201cEnhancing the Corporate Image of Educational Institutions\u201d. 3) NEAP School\nHeads\u2019 Development Program (SHDP) Advanced Course for School Heads of Senior\nHigh Schools Module 1-Leading Chance&amp; Instructional Supervision and Module\n2-Operations Management. 4) Supervisory Development Courses I, II and III by\nCivil Service Commission. 5) Seminar on Legal Matters, Ethics and\nAccountability.<br>\n<br>\nThe following\nare scholarship grants she received: 1) 2009-SEAMEO INNOTECH COURSE on\nInstructional Leadership Competencies conducted via flexible learning modality\nand through Iflex (INNOTECH Flexible Learning Management System) of\nSEAMEOINNOTECH, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines, Nov 23-Dec 18, 2009. 2)\n2022-SEAMEO INNOTECH SUPER Excels (Supervision in School Leadership for\nSoutheast Asian School Heads.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> As she prepares for ASAT for the full-blown face-to-face classes, the major challenge she faces is huge classroom backlogs. ASAT enrollment this year has swelled to more than 2,800 learners an almost 2% increase from last year. Adding to the need for new classrooms and teachers, some classrooms are unusable due to the damages caused by the recent back-to-back typhoons of <em>Karding, Maymay, Neneng<\/em>, <em>Obet and Paeng<\/em>. Heavy rainfall flooded the Campus due to the lack of site drainage compounding access difficulty to the school. Despite these conditions, the school must continue to provide quality education to all learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> While ASAT waits for the restoration of damaged classrooms and the construction of new school buildings, Dr. Madrid shall use technology in the delivery of instructions to provide education to all learners. ASAT shall implement a combination of \u201cOn-Line Classroom\u201d using Google Classroom as the main platform and \u201cIn Classroom\u201d. Learners shall be rotated on certain days between \u201cOn-Line Classroom\u201d and \u201cIn Classroom\u201d to augment classroom shortage. She understands the significance of face-to-face classes with learners but \u201c<em>teaching and learning do not happen within the four walls of the classroom but everywhere, anywhere and anytime.\u201d<\/em> This process will require gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and an internet connection. She is certain that \u201c<em>80% of the total school population have gadgets and internet connection. The parent\u2019s role in this innovation is very significant and very critical because they will be personally involved in monitoring their children while they are attending their online classes at home. For learners and their parents who cannot buy a smartphone and internet connection, modular modes shall be used\u201d<\/em> Until the school has sufficient classrooms and teachers, she said that the <em>\u201cASAT teaching and learning process will take place in the physical classroom and the virtual classroom.\u201d<\/em><br> As she embarks to lead ASAT into a new normal with digital technology, she needs everyone\u2019s support. Her messages are as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp;\u201c<strong>To the Mayor and LGU<\/strong>, leading one of the largest schools in the entire Division of Cagayan is a very &nbsp;enormous task and I thank the officialdom of the Municipality of Aparri through the Honorable Mayor Bryan Dale G. Chan for accepting me to take the lead in the education of our young Aparrianos. We cannot do the task alone; we need to be united to achieve the success that everyone deserves. We need to be transparent because it is through transparency that we invite more the trust of stakeholders to invest their time, money, and resources. Public Service is a Public Trust.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>To the Parents and their children<\/strong>,\nwe will make our communication line open to them. Communicating the academic\nstanding of their children is very important. We will be closely working with\nthem not only in the delivery of instruction but in instilling discipline in\ntheir children. Teaching is an easy task because teachers are trained to teach\nbut it is in instilling discipline in learners in the classroom that makes the\ntask of teachers very challenging especially since we are guided by the Child\nProtection Policy.<br>\n<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>To the Teachers<\/strong>, they need to\nrevisit the 19 objectives in their \u201cIndividual Performance Commitment and\nReview Form\u201d (IPCRF) because these serve as their road map in their daily\nroutine. We want them to attain Outstanding Performance because their\nperformance is our performance and the performance of their learners will also\nbe their performance. And our greatest \u201cReturn of Investment\u201d (ROI) as teachers\nis when we see our learners be successful in their fields of specialization,\nthe very reason why we are sustaining our partnerships with the ALUMNI is that\nthey are the living evidence of how great the works of a teacher is.<br>\n<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>To all our Stakeholders<\/strong> (Parents,\nLGU, Alumni Association, Civil Society Organizations, and Private Individuals),\nno school can exist without the support of the stakeholders. Our leadership is\nanchored on the principle of shared governance, shared responsibility, and\nshared accountability. We will continue to actively engage our stakeholders for\neffective learning to take place, especially in the innovation that we are\nintroducing-the use of the virtual classroom as an alternative to the physical\nclassroom, and our immediate response to address physical classroom backlogs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/asat-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mary-ann-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2850\" width=\"241\" height=\"179\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> Dr. Madrid\u2019s day starts at an early dawn to prepare for the day\u2019s work.
