Journey of Teachers of Last-Mile School

The purpose of this study was to describe and examine the lived experiences of teachers teaching in Last-Mile Schools. This research attempted to examine the lived experiences of fifteen Last-Mile School Teachers in the East Malungon District in the Division of Sarangani. Using phenomenological research methods, such as in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, this study found that assigning teachers to last-mile schools or distant locations is difficult not only in East Malungon District but also across the country. The findings revealed that lived experiences of teachers had diverse experiences and there were ten themes created such as accessibility of the school’s location, By chance, I’m teaching, Teaching: A Work of Heart, Preparedness in Teaching: The power of preparation and planning, Experience is the best teacher, A potpourri of approaches, Culturally Responsive Teaching, Teaching in a Last-Mile-School is more fulfilling, Quality Education is possible, and The Image of 21st Century Teachers of Last-Mile-Schools.
