The College of Teacher Education initiated a 10-day In-Service Training Workshop on the 21st Century Teaching-Learning Process through Mentoring on Syllabus Development and Research Publication on August 5 to 16, 2019 at the Medical-Dental Building, ZCSPC Campus.

b) to strengthen the collaborative partnership of the college with DepEd as its clientele;
c) to reinforce in-service teachers’ competence and knowledge in the field of education;
d) to present and deliberate on syllabus of the new and old programs; and
e) to facilitate the implementation of the Curriculum Quality Audit.
On the first day, a memorandum of agreement was inked between Dr. Milabel E. Ho, WMSU President and Dr. Nelson P. Cabral, ZCSPC President, in cooperation with the Philippine Normal University.
