Recognizing the role that teachers can take as primary reading advocates in the classroom, SAS conducts two-day Teacher Training Workshops to prepare them for the implementation of the Reading Program. Leading educators facilitate discussions and generate ideas on best practice, new teaching techniques, creative strategies and reading activities. It also ensures program sustainability through the years.

The teachers and principals undergo a fun-filled workshop that’s more than the usual. These workshops are regularly held by SAS Foundation especially to support the public school educators in their quest to promote the love and habit of reading. These seminars are designed to be a time of discovery and learning for all.

Through these workshops, educators are able to access new reading technology and methods from teacher trainors and reading experts; they are able to share new ideas, strategies, activities and best practices; they get the chance to meet some of the Philippines best and brightest storytellers, authors and illustrators of children’s storybooks. In addition, teachers can also look forward to DepEd credits, bonding sessions with fellow teachers and the SAS team, good food and freebies from sponsors.
