Back in July of this year, NATCCO launched the Aflatoun module translation project in partnership with Citi Foundation and Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino. Preparations for the first batch of the Mother Tongue-based Teachers’ Training were also settled during the course of the translation period. By the time the modules were finished, NATCCO and Abra Diocesan Teachers and Employees’ Multi-Purpose Cooperative (ADTEMPCO), in partnership with the Department of Education Division of Abra were also set to conduct the training.
Six (6) schools were invited to the training, namely: Sinalang Pilot Elementary School, Agtangao Elementary School, Malita Primary School, Mudeng Elementary School, San Gregorio Elementary School, and Holy Spirit Academy.
Participants were composed of Grade 1 to Grade 3 teachers and ADTEMPCO staff. The training was held at the ADTEMPCO Conference Hall on November 21-22, 2014. This – along with the other upcoming trainings using the translated modules – jumpstarts the series of activities to be shared to Aflatoun partner schools nationwide. ADTEMPCO’s next step would be the formal launching of the program which will hopefully take place in January of next year.
In its entirety, the Aflatoun Mother Tongue project aims to support the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) program of the Department of Education. Teachers are now more equipped to integrate the Aflatoun core elements in their lessons.
