✨BEED Pre-Service Teachers Ready to Begin Their Experiential Learning Journey✨
Upper Tambler Elementary School II welcomed 38 pre-service teachers from the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) Department, College of Education, Mindanao State University–General Santos City during the Experiential Learning Course (ELC) Orientation Program held on August 25, 2026.
The program began with the preliminaries, followed by the welcome address of Jennifer G. Quimiging, Designated Guidance Advocate, who encouraged the pre-service teachers as they begin their experiential learning journey. This was followed by the opening message of Michael B. Cahapay, PhD, ELC Adviser, who formally turned over the 38 pre-service teachers to their 38 resource teachers.
The pre-service teachers were then warmly welcomed and accepted by Ma. Arlyn P. Alboroto, Principal IV, who also discussed the school's policies, guidelines, and expectations. She emphasized the importance of responsibility, professionalism, respect, and proper conduct as the pre-service teachers begin their field experience.
During the orientation proper, Sir Cahapay discussed the ELC 101 and ELC 102 subjects, including the responsibilities and requirements of the pre-service teachers. He also explained the grading components for both pre-service teachers and resource teachers, as well as the key dates and activities to guide everyone throughout the ELC program.
The pre-service teachers will actively participate in classroom and school activities, observe and assist their resource teachers, and apply what they have learned from their coursework to actual teaching situations.
Meanwhile, the resource teachers will serve as mentors and guides by providing supervision, feedback, and practical advice as the pre-service teachers gain experience in the classroom.
This orientation marks the start of an important learning experience for the 38 BEED pre-service teachers as they take their first steps toward putting their knowledge and skills into practice.
