Professional Growth

Staff Professional Developments:SVES staff professional developments usually occurs every other wednesdays in the schools cafeteria. While on board with the canary staff and teachers I had the opportunity to take part in some of its staff development as well as the state wide professional development at MHS. The first staff PD that I took part in was presented by Ms. Carleen R. Saures and Ms. Carmela Sablan and the topic for the PD was "LISTENING". In addition, the second staff PD was a continuation of the first PD and the other staff PD that we had as done by Ms. Cathy Pagapular assisted by Ms. Diane, Ms. Sherwin and I. The topic of the staff PD was on "LEARNING CENTER". It was interesting to know that not all the teachers in SVES were not familiar with what a LEARNING CENTER is. It was a pleasure to be a part of this presentation and share with other teachers how LEARNING CENTERS can be of great accommodations for both
teachers and students in the classroom. It was a great PD because there were different learning centers already set up in different areas according to different grade levels that the teachers in the school can be able to not only know about what a learning center is use for and get a hands-on on the different activities that can be displayed for students to work on when done with their classwork. In addition, aside from our school level PD, there is the State Wide Professional Development which was held on February 1, 2009 at the Marianas High School. While there I had the opportunity to sign up for the "Human Resource Office seminar conducted by Annie Mendiola, and the other as the "Student Management Strategies by Lisa Kisling.

Grade Level Meetings: all the first grade teachers usually meet on Tuesdays or when need to discuss about other important events coming up.


Child Study Team: So far I had the opportunity to be a part of a child study team for two of my our first grade students.

Report Card Day: During third quarter's Report Card day which was held April 16th, 2009 from 3-5 pm was a great learning experience for me and to meet and speak to my students parents.
