Choosing to give a voice amidst the silence

 

 

SM Scholar Alumna  pursues a Career in SPED

Teaching surpasses the realms of jobs or professions, it encompasses service, vocation and life mission. Proving this day and night are million of Filipino teachers who stand as second mothers to students. One of them is Rosalie Macaspac, an SM scholar alumna who chose to pursue a career in Special Education (SPED).

Life's Work

Choosing to teach, especially pursue SPED is a path less travelled. Out of 800,000 public school teachers, only about 4000 are on SPED, and Rosalie is one of the few who look in the path. For 21 years now, the SM scholar alumna has dedicated her life in teaching SPED students.  She wanted to empower and give special children a voice by advocating the welfare of deaf learners.
