On January 9-10, 2025, the Basic Education Commissions held a training workshop for 120 potential accreditors in Colegio San Agustin-Makati, Makati City, which aims to provide an orientation on the nature and tasks of doing accreditation work.
The morning session of the first day focused on various topics. Mr. Rafael Pecjo, a Member of the Grade School Commission, discussed the PAASCU Quality Assurance Process and School Improvement. At the same time, Dr. Carmela Oracion, a Member of the High School Commission, talked about the PAASCU Accreditation Process and the Standards-Based Accreditation Instrument. The afternoon was dedicated to simulations of classroom observations, interviews, and meetings with the students and faculty. The first day was capped with the presentation of Ms. Mary Ann Eala, a Member of the Basic Education Commission, on Samples of Good and Not-So-Good Reports, where the participants had the opportunity to identify a well-written narrative and correct a poorly written one. The second day of the training workshop was purely dedicated to writing area reports, commendations, and recommendations. The trainees all presented their outputs in the afternoon, which were critiqued by the team chairs.
PAASCU thanks its member schools for sending their qualified administrators and faculty for training and to Colegio San Agustin-Makati for graciously hosting the event.
