Faculty and Staff Development during the Summer

Last May 15, the faculty and staff of St. Francis of Assisi School of Silay City attended different talks or workshop for their professional growth.  The day started with the first talk on Child Psychology given by Dr. Ma. Jocelyn G. Gayares, M.D. Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist. Dr. Gayares discussed the different stages of child development and encouraging desirable behavior for students.  

Next, Vice Principal JR Abello, gave a talk entitled "Financial, Stress and Time Management." The objective of the talk was to develop an attitude on being productive in work. 

Students in the elementary level are required to write in cursive form in all their classes.

The afternoon workshop on Cursive Writing for all Grade 1 to 6 teachers was facilitated by Principal Ms. Melit Gustilo on Cursive Writing. The objective was to teach the teachers to write in a standard angle. Ms. Gustilo explained that this school year, the teachers will have more time writing on the board because of the new teaching strategy being adopted by the school, e.g. CVIF Dynamic Learning Program, and that the teachers need to focus on their speed and accuracy in writing cursive.

All in all, the teachers and staff enjoyed the talks/workshop. They were able to learn new things which will definitely help them become better individuals, teachers for the students and colleagues to their fellow educators.
