CES Launches Project ZeDro

by: Acrima S. Labay

   “Every child deserves a champion” said Rita Pierson. This is the driving force behind the conception of Project ZeDro (Zero-Dropouts) which hopes to address the dropout rate of Cuneta Elementary School. Project ZeDro was launch on July 7, 2017 with the facilitation of Focal Person, Lorena A. Aliperio and Assistant Focal Person John D. Liban through the support of current school head, Mrs. Genalin S. Ong. Gathering a variety of stakeholders in the Multi-Purpose room of the school, C.E.S presented a project that will save pupils from leaving the school with the whole community as a champion.

The event started with an opening ceremony of prayers and singing of the National Anthem. Mrs. Genalin S. Ong welcomed and thanked all attendees to officially start the event. She explained the purpose of the activity and why it is important for all sectors of the community to take part in it. With determined voice, she insisted the seriousness of obliging pupils to come to school and discourage absenteeism. 

This was followed by an intermission number under the guidance of Araling Panlipunan teachers Mr. Jonas S. Oja and Ms. Acrima S. Labay. Pupils from combined grade levels sung “It takes a Village” in front of the visitors which consisted of parents, barangay personnel, policemen and interested stakeholders. The student performed an interpretative dance of the song and asked the stakeholders to light their candles to signify their importance in the education.

To precisely define what Project ZeDro is, Focal Person Mrs. Lorena Aliperio took the stage. She presented actual digits of the school’s enrollees from SY 2014-2017 and the annual dropout rate. She then proceeded in connecting this small digit to the disadvantages the whole nation will suffer. “People without education are unable to get a job and more likely to spend their lives jobless and or on government assistance. These pupils often struggle with poverty, abuse and neglect in their homes.” She said. For this reason, she defined the role of Project ZeDro in offering several interventions to prevent dropouts.

Mr. John D. Liban, assistant focal person, proceeded in explaining what interventions the school can offer and the role of all stakeholders. He begun by enlisting several causes that PARDO (Pupils’ At Risk of Dropping Out) are experiencing. He mentioned poverty, poor nutritional status, family problem, and distance of school from home, source of income, poor academic performance, cultural adjustments, and lack of interest in studies or repeaters. In order to fully address so many causes, he demonstrated distinct interventions that may provide help and assistance to these pupils. These included interventions like home visitation, educational assistance, awards and incentives and many more. To end his speech, he declared that all these interventions will only come to fruition if every member of the community lends their support.

The event came close to end by finally introducing the new officers of the General Parents’ Teachers Association. Newly elected president Mrs. Helen Medios expresses her determination in lending al that she can to help Project ZeDro by proposing an activity which all parents and teachers can join and bring fund to the project. Together with the other officers, they took their oathtaking in front of the crowd headed by Genalin S. Ong.

Mrs. Genalin S. Ong officially ended the event by reminding all stakeholders that every child deserves a chance and support. She stresses the fact that children might not realize yet how important education is and it is everyone’s responsibility to make them realize it. She mentioned her role as a parent and how much support and encouragement matters to a child. Highlighting the ongoing Perfect Attendance Awarding every month, she emphasized the staggering number in which only 30 students were awarded on the first month it was held and now more than a hundred are receiving their certificates every month.

To demonstrate the stakeholders’ commitment in the project, they signed their names on the tarpaulin before exiting the multi-purpose room. Through everyone’s support, Project ZeDro will do its best in securing every pupil’s future. It is not only the teachers who have major roles in pupil’s performance in school but also everyone in their social environment partakes in honing them.

CES Teachers Engage in Summer INSET

by: Acrima S. Labay     

 “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” said Henry Ford. This is an irrefutable truth that the teachers in Cuneta Elementary School live by. Their belief in staying at the top of their teaching game shined brightly when they participated in the In-Service Training Program with the theme “Enhancing Teachers’ Competencies: Meeting the Needs of 21st Century Learners” held in Cuneta Elementary School ICT room and a two-day seminar joined with other schools in Pasay City Cluster 7-South District. Headed by the Event Chairperson Mr. Elrick Cacayurin and Co-Chairperson Mrs. Leah Bumanlag with the support of their current Principal, Mrs Genalin S. Ong, CES teachers actively particpated in the five-day event from May 29 to June 2, 2017.

In pursuant to DepEd’s requirement, all teachers should participate in a five-day In-Service Training to better equip them with skills needed to grow personally and develop professionally. It was with these thoughts that CES planned its Summer In-Service Training composed of different topics that would enhance their knowledge about teaching. The In-Service training covered an array of issues concerning 21st Century learners and how to approach their learning styles.     

Each session started at eight o’clock in the morning and finished at five o’clock in the afternoon. For the first day, former teachers welcomed new teachers to the school and was given intensive orientation. This also reinforced school rules to everyone present in the event. CES Principal Mrs. Genalin S. Ong welcomed everyone for the weeklong training and gave orientation on topics teachers should expect. She covered several topics ranging from ‘Code for Professional Ethics’ which refreshed CES teachers on their responsibilities and obligations as educators to “Accountabilities of School Personnel Towards Learners” and of “Personnel Action”.

The second day welcomed speakers from different sectors of the Pasay City Division Office. CES teachers listened with rapt attention as one of their colleague Mrs. Lea D. Bumanlag explained “Issues and Concerns on Learners Information System (LIS) which taught them how to enroll their students in the system. They were introduced next to the “Basics of Microsoft Publisher and PowerPoint” by Mrs. Ma. Amor Reyes that would help CES teachers prepare their Instructional materials easier and more engaging. In the afternoon session, Ms. Irenea Loresca, a teacher from VABES, discussed “Utilizing Technology in an Interactive Classroom Setting” to train CES teachers to create fun and modernized classroom activities.

On the third day, Mrs. Myrna B. Martino, OIC-PSDS of Cluster 1 resolved CES teachers repeated need for Grammar and Communication clarifications in her talk about “Enhancing Teachers’ Skills in Written/Oral Communication”. In the afternoon, Mrs. Chiradee O. Javiniar, a PCSciHS Teacher introduced CES teachers to the novelty of an “Action Research/BERF Format”. She clarified the procedures and importance of research and its role in understanding learners better.

For the fourth day, CES teachers went to Maricaban Elementary School to assemble with other schools in Cluster 7-South District. This demonstrates the willingness of Pasay City teachers to work together in order to supplement each other’s weaknesses and highlight their strengths. Dr. Rolando Montes speech about “Inclusive Education” awakened another fire in CES teachers to be more vigilant when it comes to their students’ special needs. Dr. Rolando stretched the importance of accepting every kind of learners no matter the hindrances from the part of the teacher. To strengthen this topic even more, Marybeth Fajilagmango, a PNSD Teacher taught the assembled teachers the basics of Sign language. This better equipped the teachers when it comes to handling special cases.

The last day reserved the topic for Mathematics, a subject that not only causes headache for students but also to most teachers. Next was Mrs. Emilia Oblianda who gave an intensive discussion about “The Concept of Number and Counting” and “Place Value and the Decimal System”. On the other hand, Mr. Ruben “Benjie” C. Peralta  gave his thoughts on “Identifying Children with Additional Needs Inside the Classroom”.  To end the seminar, teachers gained important skills as Mr. Roger Junio talked about “Common Math Difficulties” and how teacher can better be prepared for them..

Before the awarding of certifications, Mrs. Genalin S. Ong reminded the teachers of the content of D.O. no. 13, series of 2017 about the “Policy and Guidelines on Healthy Food             and Beverage Choices in Schools”.  This was especially helpful in ensuring teachers not only pay attention to their teaching methods but also to be alert when it comes to students’ health.

The five-day seminar proved to be a treasure for CES teachers as they welcome the opening of classes. The world is changing, as our learners. The shortcomings that momentarily planted doubts in their heads were resolved by numerous talks on how to better deal with millennial learners. Teachers are forever students and it was through this training that they gathered all the skills necessary to adapt to our changing learners.
