STO Orientation and Induction Conducted

“Strengthening the Philippine Educational System through Timely Interventions on the Quality of Teachers” is the theme of this year’s Student Teachers’ Organization induction and orientation program, held on July 7, 2010 at the High School Library.
In the opening program, the STO officers were inducted into office by Mrs. Cecilia B. Valdez, Dean of School of Business and Accountancy who was also the guest speaker. In her message she shared her ideas that a highly effective teacher should care, share, learn, create, believe, dream and enjoy to become a well trained educator imbued with good moral values and untarnished integrity.
Shortly after the opening program, the student teachers were oriented on different areas that are significant in their chosen career. Mrs. Rosalie R. Valdez, CASE Dean, talked about the Many Sided Tasks of a Teacher; Mrs. Flora G. Castro, School Registrar discussed the Policies and Standards on Teacher Education; Dr. Divina Gracia B. Apolonio, ACSHS Principal, talked about the Implication for School Management on the Concepts Underlying Educational Innovation; and Mr. Jennifer Raymond R. Tallungan, Dean of Student Affairs, enlightened the student teachers on the Teacher’s Personality.
The speakers were given certificates of appreciation while the participants were awarded certificates of attendance. In her closing remarks, Mrs. Luz C. Gasmin, AC Elementary School Principal and STO Adviser, challenged the student leaders to become quality teachers who could help strengthen the Philippine Educational System and asked them to get themselves engrossed in the essence of the different lectures afforded them.
Installed to their respective offices were Mikel D. Bainto, President;  Rheannel M. Esquejo, Vice President; Evelyn N. Lupog, Secretary/Treasurer; Rudy G. Castro, PIO; Jennifer E. Tubaran and Noralyn L. Jose, Business Managers; and Mrs. Luz C. Gasmin, Adviser.
