One hundred eighty (180) contextualized worksheets were officially turned over to the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Implementers last July 5, 2019, at Westend Court Hotel, Dipolog City.

“Your work in creating the 180 contextualized worksheets is our proof that no one organization can do it alone. That it really takes a community to raise a child,” SUGPAT Program Director said. 

The reviewed and validated contextualized work-readiness modules that were turned over are the first supplementary material for ALS in the region.

The contextualized worksheets aim to deliver new effective methods in better providing effective method that is best fit for the ALS learners depending on their backgrounds.

Marilette Almayda, Director of DepEd Bureau of Learning Delivery said, “You are holding all these things because we realize that these are very important tools and materials when we deliver ALS.”

After the ceremony, an orientation of the worksheets was given by Anita Tagadiad, AdZU School of Education Professional Education Chair. The orientation aims to cater to the needs of the ALS Implementers on how to use the worksheets in their ALS classes in the Community Learning Centers.
