Before the beginning of the 2008-09 school year, two copies of new Learning Guides for Grades 5 and 6 and Fourth Year will be distributed to schools. In total, there are 41 new guides being printed and sent.
The guides are also available online on the Learning Guide System (LeGS) at http://legs.beam.org.ph/. Select the Search help for guidance on how to search for and download any Learning Guide available there.
The Learning Guide Help menu on LeGS is a valuable resource for teachers who are looking for assistance with the use of the Learning Guides, and as a reference for other educational material related to the guides.
Teachers who attended the summer in-service training will know how to explore the Learning Guides and to develop customized lesson plans from them. It is expected that these teachers will echo the training in the School-Based Learning Groups for the benefit of all other teachers in their schools. |

Dr. Wally Green, respectfully known as Wally Pop, retired Professor of Mathematics at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia, visited the BEAM project for the fourth successive year recently to offer the benefit of his many years of experience in Mathematics education during the 2008 In-Service Train-the-Trainer program. His advice is keenly sought and appreciated both by the BEAM Subject Specialists and the Mathematics Trainers.
Wally also acts as an expert editor of the BEAM Learning Guides. Distance proves no obstacle as Alma Cifra, Mathematics Subject Manager, sends the Math materials to Wally for his input. Using the Learning Guide System makes the movement of such documents in a controlled manner an easy task. |
