We have taken the first step! Training teachers for staying school. (English Version)
Report update: July 2021
We would like to thank all donors and report the actions that have been taken so far regarding the work performed with teachers at Obando School in Guachené (Cauca). All work has been done virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it has benefited 15 teachers.
Work has been focused on training teachers in three key topics for enhancing school attendance and continuity of the students in Obando School:
I. Teaching Styles
II. Emotion Management
III. Mediation and Negotiation
Teacher’s testimony:
“During the training I like to pay attention to each topic and the easiest way to do it is applying what’s being taught to my own school context, I`m always thinking about one or two of my students whenever we touch upon a topic and try to apply what we’ve learned. I’ve already used this new knowledge on them without having them in front of me, when the workshop ends, I write changes I can make and implement, but also the ones I shouldn’t replicate, I know who is going to be willing to participate and which students are going to show resistance, but in the end all of them will make an effort because I’ve earned their trust, so I believe I will yield positive results.
Thanks to the knowledge, flavors, colors and smells being shared we’re always happy to come back to the institution, and we know the work being done will increase their desire to return to these friendly spaces that fulfill the expectations of our students, where they continue to feel that they not only have a school, but also a home, where they are heard, valued and taken care of, they don`t want to drop-out” – Guidance teacher Ariela Onelly Mina
Thank you for your support.

¡Dimos el primer paso! Formación docente para la permanencia escolar (Versión en Español)
Reporte de Avance: Julio de 2021
Queremos agradecer a los donantes y compartirles las acciones que se han realizado a partir del trabajo continuo con la planta docente de la IE Obando en Guachené (Cauca). Trabajo que se ha realizado de manera virtual por la Pandemia del COVID- 19, y ha beneficiado a 15 profesores.
Hemos así, trabajado mediante un proceso de formación a docentes en tres temas claves para contribuir a la permanencia escolar de los estudiantes de la I.E. Obando:
I. Estilos Docentes
II. Manejo de Emociones
III. Mediación y negociación
Testimonio de una de las maestras:
“Cuando estoy en las formaciones me gusta dar toda mi atención a cada tema y la manera más fácil de hacerlo es aterrizando cada aprendizaje a mi contexto escolar, siempre en cada tema tengo a uno o varios de mis estudiantes en los cuales mentalmente estoy aplicando lo aprendido. Ya he aplicado mis nuevos conocimientos con ellos sin tenerlos presente, al terminar el taller escribo que cambios debo hacer, que debo implementar, y que definitivamente no debo aplicar, se cuáles van a participar con más facilidad, cuales colocaran algo de resistencia, pero al final ellos van a acceder por la confianza que he ganado, así que creo y confió en el posible resultado que obtendré.
Gracias a estos compartir de saberes, sabores, colores y olores, queremos volver pronto a la institución, sabemos que su intervención aumentara el deseo de retornar a un espacio agradable y que cumpla con las expectativas de nuestros estudiantes, donde continúen sintiendo que tienen no solo una escuela si no un hogar, donde son escuchados, valorados y cuidados, de donde no quieran irse” – Docente Orientadora Ariela Onelly Mina.
Muchas gracias por su apoyo.
