At the first Learning Session of the year of the Improvement Network of the Good Start program, 90 schools in the O'Higgins Region shared successful strategies and improvement plans and deepened their commitment to continue working collaboratively to improve the quality of early education.
This Tuesday, May 7, management teams, educators and kindergarten technicians, as well as the school principals of 90 municipal schools in the O'Higgins Region gathered to participate in the first Learning Session of the year of the Improvement Network of the Un Buen Comienzo (UBC) program of Fundación Educacional Oportunidad.
The session brought together nearly 300 people who make up this network, which was created in March 2018 and made up of committed establishments and communes that had successfully completed two years of implementation of the Un Buen Comienzo teacher professional development program.
During the event, they had the opportunity to learn about the results of the work carried out last year, present and socialize their improvement plans and share successful experiences of the UBC program.
The president of Fundación Educacional Oportunidad, Claudia Peirano, highlighted the importance of the O'Higgins Improvement Network Un Buen Comienzo. "It is the only network in Chile focused on improving kindergarten education. There are hundreds of people committed to a better future for the region's children," she said.
The Foundation's executive director, Marcela Marzolo, added that "we are very pleased with the excellent attendance at this session and for beginning this second year of work with the Network. The balance of the day is extremely positive. We all leave full of energy and with high expectations of what will be the work in the communes and schools in pursuit of the learning of children at the initial level.
Likewise, the director of the Villa Convento Viejo de Chimbarongo School, Marisela Urra, valued the session, since "for me this is a very profitable instance, it is the moment where we can analyze what we have done during the years in which we have been part of the UBC program and also to restructure and organize what we are going to do in the rest of the year".
SEAL OF DISTINCTION
In order to distinguish those educational establishments that are part of the network, Fundación Educacional Oportunidad presented each school with a plaque that will be the seal that identifies them as experts in early education and outstanding for their active participation in the Un Buen Comienzo Improvement Network.
