CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Strategies/Thrusts, Programs And Projects Undertaken to further enhance learning among pupils: Drop-Out Intervention Program In order to MAINTAIN the drop-out rate, the school has implemented the following interventions: 1. Home visitation 2. Making Guidance Services fully functional 3. Provision of Modules to students living in far places or greatly affected by the typhoons 4. Providing varied and interesting activities and instructional materials to the pupils / students to motivate them to continue their studies Supplementary Feeding Program

Realizing that there is a direct relationship between the physical and mental well-being of the child and his nutritional and health condition, the school implements a program that takes care of the nutritional status and health of the school children. The establishment of school canteen was encouraged and a certain percent of the canteen proceeds was utilized for the feeding of severely and moderately undernourished pupils. This resulted in a reduction in the incidence of absenteeism and maintained zero drop-out in the school. This program was able to attract more enrollees especially in the more depressed area of the baranggay. In Service Training Programs (INSET) Recent international tests in Science and mathematics showed that the Filipino students lad behind their counterparts in the Asian countries in the above-cited subjects. One of the strategies adopted by DepED is the INSET program in Science and Mathematics (INSET Science and Mathematics), which is part of the project standard discussed in the succeeding pages. In the school, the teachers and school head are required to attend a LAC session once a month with the following activities: a. b. c. d. e. Demonstration lesson in Mathematics, English and Science by selected teacher-trainers. Critiquing of the lesson and activities done during the LAC Session facilitated by selected school heads. Writing an enriched lesson plan by the teachers based on the demo lesson Constructing an assessment tool appropriate for the lesson Making strategic intervention materials for least mastered skills of every subject area every grading period.

 Strategies/Thrusts, Programs And Projects To Strengthen Local Culture and Arts, Media and School Sports Strengthening local culture and arts, media and school sports are given due consideration by CAIMITO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL through the different school and classroom activities conducted. These provide means of appreciating our rich cultural heritage and develop sense of pride in preserving our Filipino culture and noble tradition.

A.

Culture and Arts

Pupils / Students awareness about Filipino customs, traditions and heritage are developed through the lessons in MAKABAYAN which the Revitalized Basic Education Curriculum provides. Strengthening these concepts are done not only through the lessons but through school celebrations, participation in arts and cultural competitions up to regional and/or national levels. Schools hold programs to celebrate or commemorate important school events such as Buwan ng Wika, Family Day, Nutrition Month, Fiestas, and other significant historical events such as Independence Day, Rizal Day, etc. Caimito ES conducted the selection of athletes for every event for the months of September to October 2010 during Saturdays and Sundays. This was done in preparation for the District Athletic Meet. B. Literary, Music, Dance Drama and Other Cultural Shows

Teachers are encouraged to conduct, and create competitions and train group of performers which are meant to harness the potentials of the teachers and pupils / students as well as to improve the performance of the division during cultural presentation. These are also ways of applying the Theory of Multiple Intelligence and developing self-confidence, and the personality in general among the pupils/students and teachers. It would also give the schools the opportunity to discover talents and to develop their potentials for much higher level competitions, thus giving honor to the school, and the division; and boost the morale of the teachers and the parents. In line with these, activities were undertaken which are as follows: (1) School Reading Marathon; (2) Street presentation; (3) Organization of culture groups such as Drum and Lyre Band, Dance Troupe and the like; (4) Participation is sports events. C. Media

The school paper is a vehicle for expressing the ideas, opinions and views of the students aside from being an avenue for developing the skills of pupils and teachers in writing and journalism. For these reasons, the school has encouraged and enjoined all schools to put up a functional school organ with at least two issues in a school year.
