ATENEO CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Enrichment Teacher Training Program

“Ateneo’s role in development is not only running an excellent school

but helping other schools become excellent too. Otherwise, we will become a lonely center of

excellence with very little impact in the larger sense.”

~Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, SJ

ACED’s Public School Teacher Training Program (PSTTP)

The flagship program of the ACED which started on 1997

Provides public school teachers (elementary and high school) opportunities to improve on their teaching skills and content development.

Faculty from the Loyola Schools, both Grade School and High School, formulate the modules and conduct three-day seminar-workshops at the Ateneo campus with batches of 500 participants in each subject area with a total of 5,000 teachers trained per subject area.

There is an average of 1000+ participants and only the public school teachers from partner schools and those sponsored by their respective local government units are allowed to join the program.

ACED’s Public School Teacher Training Program (PSTTP)Teachers are trained in English, Mathematics and Science

and Information Technology with 2 new additions, Filipino and Social Sciences.

The program runs on three consecutive weekdays during vacation time and three consecutive Saturdays when school is still ongoing.

Participants are given take home instructional materials so that they can implement what they learned from the program in the classroom. Participants are also given a certificate from the Ateneo de Manila University at the end of their training.
