The featured speaker for the forum was Dr. Cellie S.L. Santos (Member, SPUP Board of Trustees), who delivered a key presentation titled “Values Formation through Everyday Teaching Experiences.” In her discussion, Dr. Santos emphasized that character education went far beyond formal lesson plans and structured curricula, pointing out that daily interactions and spontaneous teachable moments served as the primary medium for instilling core virtues in learners. She drew upon decades of academic leadership to illustrate how simple classroom routines could become transformative moral opportunities. Furthermore, she encouraged educators to remain mindful of their demeanor, noting that students often internalize implicit lessons through non-verbal cues and daily habits.
