GURO21 (Gearing Up Responsible and Outstanding Teachers in Southeast Asia for the 21st Century)

Today, I attended the orientation for GURO21 (Gearing Up Responsible and Outstanding Teachers in Southeast Asia for the 21st Century) at DepEd NCR conference room. The orientation was facilitated by the specialists from SEAMEO-INNOTECH. 

I was somehow awestruck at first because what I saw inside the conference room were pack of school heads. I thought I went to the wrong venue, but I knew I really heard it right from the office personnel. Oh-my! The current orientation was really for school heads for their ICeXCEL course. I was just relieved when I learned that our orientation was just a make-up, since I wasn't able to attend the actual orientation yesterday. I became more comfortable when I met some fellow teachers from different divisions that were also attending the make-up orientation with the INNOTECH tutors. 

We all listened attentively to the presentations of Mr. Pierre Alejo, discussing about the background of SEAMEO-INNOTECH and features of the GURO21 courses. Ms. Joan Atienza gave her comprehensive orientation on how to use the iFlex interface, as the platform for our online learning. 

We all received our copies of this Interactive CD, which included the 2 modules:

  • Module 1: Equipping Teachers with Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, and Values for the 21st Century; and
  • Module 2: Facilitating 21st Century Learning


Guro21 Interactive CD

I am really looking forward that this six-week professional development and learning experience will bring me to greater heights when it comes to my advocacy for 21st century student learning.
