Mentors Orientation and Workshop

Hands On Manila (HOM) did not only welcome the new batch of GMKids, but also welcomed the new batch of mentors. For two Saturdays, HOM held orientations and workshop for the mentors. The first orientation and workshop for the new Grade 4 mentors was held last July 11 at Pembo Elementary School.

A more detailed discussion about the program and the modules were tackled, and as well as their role as mentors and how they can become effective mentors.

Mr. Rey Belen facilitated the afternoon discussion giving an introduction about Understanding By Design (UBD) to which the module was patterned.

Our new batch of mentors. Thank you and welcome to HOS-GMK! :)

For the second Saturday, "old mentors" joined us last July 18 at Philippine Daily Inquirer where we had parallel discussions of the Grade 5 and Grade 6 modules. In the morning, Therese Panganiban, volunteer-consultant and mentor facilitated the discussion of the Grade 6 modules, and Willie Mercado volunteer-consultant who revised the Grade 5 modules handled the discussion of the Grade 5 modules.

For the afternoon session, Willie Mercado sampled one Structured Learning Exercise (SLE) with the mentors and another one for the mentors to facilitate.

Maraming salamat sa mga pumunta at sa mga nag provide ng venue, Pembo and Ms. Marge and Chito dela Vega sa PDI room. Looking forward to a great year with everyone! :)
