The Guam Department of Education (GDOE) Division of Curriculum & Instruction is hosting a four-day, three-hour virtual professional learning experience on the “Curriculum & Distance Learning Training Series” beginning Monday, July 20th through Friday, July 24th.  

The facilitators from the Division of Curriculum and Instruction will address educational modules to support educators on the three GDOE models of learning, which were approved by the Guam Education Board on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.  

The training series will include seven educational modules, which will be facilitated by the district staff and address applications related to remote learning. The educational modules aim to provide department chairs, team leaders, and teacher leaders with knowledge, skills, and applications on technological and interactive strategies using different online platforms and tools to support and guide teachers for the reopening of schools. The modules will also include training on working with diverse learners, educating and supporting families on distance learning using technology, and guiding secondary teachers with online management systems.

“We look forward to a productive training series and know this will help our schools and teachers as they prepare for the changes this August,” GDOE Superintendent Jon Fernandez said. 

“There has been a concerted effort over the last few months with the work of the District School Readiness Task Force in planning to prepare for the reopening of the school year, including providing support for school-based teams to engage in training,” GDOE Deputy Superintendent Joe Sanchez said. 

The four-day virtual training sessions is being held from Monday, July 20th through Friday, July 24th from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.:
