SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHERS AND LEARNERS DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SY 2022-2023

DAY 1:

• Getting to know each other. Meet and greet the learners with a smile and a warm welcome. Tell learners a little about yourself. Inform students of policies and guidelines. Talk about the rules and procedures in the classroom.
• Provide an opportunity for students to introduce themselves. Each student may speak briefly (1-2 minutes maximum) about themselves
• Involve learners in get-acquainted games, observing required health and safety protocols.
• Provide students with basic information about the curriculum. Show leamers the books they'll be using and the subjects they'll be studying. Also, show leamers some modules they'll be accomplishing (show them the parts). Consider sharing information about learning competencies, contents, types of assessments, and grading policies
• Orient leamers on how to use the modules and video lessons. Let learners write something to have their writing specimen.
• For Kinder and Grade 1, possibly have a campus tour observing health protocols.

DAY 2:

• Conduct Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Programs for Learners. 

The pre-evaluation tool should be administered through a pen-and-paper format before the facilitation of the first psychosocial support activity (i.e., the first day of the conduct of psychosocial support activity) while the post-evaluation should be administered after the facilitation of the last psychosocial support activity (i.e., last day of the conduct of psychosocial support activity). Take note that the administration of the evaluation form should be strictly right before the first facilitation of the activity and right after the last facilitation of the activity. DOWNLOAD TEACHERS GUIDE
