ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
1 Conduct Partners Conference This is a conference between the
immersion teacher and the partner
institution.
2 MOA signing This is an activity that will bind the
agreement between the partner
industry and the school.
3 Identification of Learning It pertains to the expected activities
competencies that the immersion teacher would like
to know from the partner industry
which are essential in preparing the
students for this program.
4 Teacher training immersion It is an activity where an immersion
schedule in the workplace teacher will immerse first in the
partner industry in order to gain
knowledge on the operation of the
business, working environment,
facilities and policies.
Partners conference
During the Partners conference, the following are the suggested activities which
are expounded on the table below.
Physical setting
MOA signing
The MOA signing must be attended by the School Partnership Focal Person
as a representative of the school and the Partner Industry. Just see DepEd Order
No.30, s.2017 of ANNEX B.
Learning Competencies
The work immersion teacher will let the work immersion student do the
self-assessment on their skills (refer to the Self-Assessment Guide designed by
TESDA at www.tesda.gov.ph ). After that, the work immersion teacher will identify
the least learned skills and match it to the core competencies of TESDA in
Computer System Servicing (refer to ANNEX D: TESDA Training Regulations of
Computer System Servicing). The work immersion partner institution should be
informed on the status of every student for further training.
Teachers Immersion training
It is an activity where a work immersion teacher will immerse first (it can be 2
days or more) in the partner institution in order to gain knowledge on the operation
of the business, working environment, facilities, and policies. After that activity,
the work immersion teacher must orient the work immersion students regarding
the profile of the institution, workplace, facilities and its policies.
