About the Program

The SEA Teacher Program is an educational and international project organized and initiated by Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO). The program aims to improve the quality of education in Southeast Asia by encouraging countries to work together and by providing opportunities for Southeast Asian pre-service student-teachers to have their practice teaching (practicum) in another Southeast Asian school.

About Me
I am Lara Llanes (pronunc.Leyns) B. Zapanta, a fourth-year student from Philippine Normal University (PNU), Manila, Philippines. I am an Early Childhood Education major who enjoys teaching students actively and purposefully through activities that are interactive and materials that are age and developmentally-appropriate.
​
I believe that learning is most effective when learners are having fun. That's why, as much as possible, I implement varied strategies in teaching and use different learning materials for learners to use and explore.
​
I also believe that learners learn when they know what they are going to do and the purpose why they are doing the tasks. That's why I ensure that I provide feedback to their performance inside the class and to their outputs submitted.
​
On October 23, 2023 - November 17, 2023, I had my practicum at Kelompok Bermain dan Taman Kanak-kanak Laboratorium UM (KB & TK Lab UM), the Kindergarten Laboratorium of Universitas Negeri Malang (UM).
