USAID’s EQuALLS2 project deepened its work with 36 public elementary school teacher-mentors and mentees from Basilan province in the face of their many conflict- and poverty-related education challenges, in a workshop held on April 8-10, 2010 in Zamboanga City.
The workshop particularly sought to strengthen the implementation of USAID’s teacher mentoring partnership with the Philippine Department of Education by cultivating a stronger sense of shared responsibility for improved teaching between the mentors and mentees.
Across the region, 200 teacher-mentors from South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat learned basic computer use for improved teaching and learning management, on April 5-9, 2010 in Koronadal City.
1,210 teachers have been trained so far in a Global Development Alliance partnership with Microsoft Corporation and are using their skills and mentoring other teachers with USAID-funded computer equipment and software housed in local computer hubs.
