SDO Tuguegarao City holds orientation for storybook contest

As part of the pre-competition activities for the 2025 Gawad Teodora Alonso (GTA), the Schools Division of Tuguegarao City conducted an orientation for the 8th Division Storybook Writing, Designing, and Illustration Contest at Golden A Hotel, July 23.

The activity, organized by the Learning Resource Management Section (LRMS), was attended by 18 participants from both public and private schools in the division.

CID Chief Estela S. Cabaro welcomed the participants, while Schools Division Superintendent Gilbert N. Tong delivered an inspirational message encouraging creativity, collaboration, and excellence in the development of locally made storybooks.

Mara Karla S. Macalan, Education Program Supervisor of LRMS, emphasized the purpose of the activity.

“More than just a briefing, this session is a chance to reconnect with our shared passion for storytelling, literacy, and the arts,” she stressed.

The orientation featured a workshop on mixed media illustration conducted by Roberto V. Duldulao, Jr. of SDO Santiago City, and a session on Filipino orthography and story writing techniques led by Myra Z. Candaroma, Master Teacher III of Tuguegarao West Central School.

Maria Theresa Molina, Librarian III, discussed the updated contest guidelines and categories, while PDO II Krysta Lynne Fuertes presented sample winning storybooks to provide guidance and inspiration.

The activity aimed to equip participants with the tools and insights needed to develop culturally relevant and high-quality storybooks.

The sorting of more than 30,000 copies of Supplementary Learning Resources (SLRs) commenced on June 17, 2025, at the Division Library Hub at Tuguegarao North Central School and will continue until June 20, in preparation for their distribution to public elementary and secondary schools in the division.

The activity is part of Project Kuha (Pick-Up) Bin, an initiative of the Curriculum Implementation Division – Learning Resource Management Section (CID-LRMS), which promotes the quarterly rotation of categorized learning resources stored in plastic bins. These resources will be borrowed by schools and returned or replaced at the end of each quarter.

The SLRs are classified into General References, Fiction Books, and Learning Area References, allowing schools to access a diverse selection of materials to support both instructional and independent learning needs.

“We hope that schools will maximize these resources not just for classroom instruction but also to strengthen their reading programs,” said Mara Karla S. Macalan, Education Program Supervisor, LRMS.

Participating in the ongoing sorting activity are Division PDO II Krysta Lynne I. Fuertes, Division Librarian II Maria Theresa B. Molina, and school-based PDOs John Rico C. Toribio (Atulayan ES), Ma. Claudia G. Aquino (Balzain East ES), and Brainer M. Matammu (Cataggaman ES).

The initiative aims to ensure that public schools in the division are equipped with accessible supplementary materials that enhance teaching and learning experiences throughout the school year.

GOAL SETTING
SDO Tuguegarao City conducts Kumustahan, strengthens LR processes

BY Krysta Lynne I. Fuertes

With the aim of streamlining and further improving its processes, the Learning Resource Management Section (LRMS) of the Schools Division of Tuguegarao City - Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) conducted its Kumustahan cm Technical Assistance Provision to School Learning Resource Quality Assurance Team (SLRQAT) at the Golden A Hotel, March 14.

The activity is part of the ongoing efforts of the LRMS to reorient schools on the development and quality assurance process and to provide necessary assistance to schools in improving their LR management.

“This is a follow up to the reorientation we conducted to school heads last year. We hoped to see how far they have gone in cascading the information they learned from our previous activity. We have invited the vice chairpersons of the SLRQAT as our participants this time because of their capacity to further cascade information in their respective schools,” shared Mara Karla S. Macalan, LRMS Education Program Supervisor.

To achieve this, all schools were required to present their accomplishments for the school year 2024-2025, specifically highlighting data on functionality of their SLRQAT, access to learning resources, quality assured learning resources in the school and division level, presence of learning resource plan, and implementation of best and notable practices along LR management.

Through this initiative, the LRMS was able to identify the schools needing the most support in LR management based on established indicators in the division’s contextualized LR monitoring and supervision tool which was also presented during the activity.

Sirib, the Division Learning Resource Handbook on Development Processes and Workflow for locally developed and contextualized LRs, was also officially launched during the Kumustahan to provide a comprehensive guide on the classification, development, and utilization of locally developed and contextualized LRs.

“The crafting of the handbook is already our way of providing schools the needed technical assistance with its wide coverage of relevant learning resources that are usually developed. It already includes necessary information on the LR process such as guidelines in the development and quality assurance, the evaluation tools needed, as well as the templates to be used,” Macalan further assured.

To support the launching of the said handbook, Schools Division Superintendent Gilbert N. Tong and the CID Chief Estela S. Cabaro were also present during the activity.
