Special Education Seminars at St. Andrew's School

I finally found the time to post some pictures from our St. Andrew's School Special Education Seminar-Workshop. Together with Professor Sonia Mendoza of College of St. Benilde, we spent three afternoons with the teachers of the preschool, elementary, high school departments. Teachers from the alternative learning system department and after school activities attended the said workshops too. The seventy three non-teaching staff also attended an afternoon with us.

Originally, I thought of sharing the PPT file I used for the seminars but decided not to share it this time. I would make it available to anyone interested but you must send me an email and tell me.

So what were the topics covered?

Special Education Courses we are giving the teachers and other stakeholders of St. Andrew's School is aimed at preparing the entire school for the needs and issues that will definitely come out with the Special Education Department of the St. Andrew's receiving the permit and recognition from the Department of Education in three months time. With this laid out, topics that were covered were:

• Legal Bases of Special Education in the Philippines
• Anti-Corporal Punishment Law
• Introduction to Special Education: Cases, Safety and Security Issues
• Self-Awareness and Ego Bombardment

Next session is scheduled August and I can't wait to see these guys again! Here are some of the photos I collected:
