PRE-DEPARTURE ORIENTATION(PDO)
A virtual orientation of the pre-service teachers in Southeast Asia was spearheaded by the SEAMEO Secretariat based in Bangkok, Thailand. Below are the orientation details:
Aside from the Virtual Orientation, a Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) was conducted last January 08, 2019 by the College of Development Education of Central Bicol State University of Agriculture in compliance to the Letter of Agreement signed by the different universities and colleges in Southeast Asia such as the Philppines, Thailand, and Indonesia for the SEAMEO SEA Teacher Project.
Here are some of the photos taken during PDOS:
Meeting with the Dean. Dr. Ana E. Mirana, the Dean of the College of Development Education, enthusiastically tackled the important matters regarding the SEAMEO SEA Teacher Project in terms of the date and time of departures, the necessary documents needed to submit in the receiving university, and teaching placement, sending and receiving university coordinators and mentors, and so on.
Parent’s Support is the Best. My mother, Rowena Doria Alina, and I attended the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar. This proved how supportive my parent to fulfil my dreams to go abroad and gain teaching experiences in UNSYIAH, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
PDOS for Teaching Internship. As part of the Letter of Agreement for the SEAMEO SEA Teacher Project, the sending university must conduct a Pre-Departure Orientation. Thus, the College of Development of Central Bicol State University of Agriculture in the Philippines conducted the activity dubbed as ‘Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar’ (PDOS). The SEA Teachers, SIAP Interns, Chairpersons, Dean, and Parents wore a smile signifying their gratefulness as the vision/dream of international mobilization of CDE students will now be turn into reality.
