[OLPC-Philippines] Curriculum help

[Tessa Yuvienco]

Hi Cherry!

The Lubang Support Team will bring the curriculum on Dec 7, Monday. Am
setting up a lunch meeting with Ray Morales and Lloyd Daulat and hoping
Sandeep and Joel could join too. No definite venue yet because I have to
find out where they will be coming from. I may not be able to reciprocate
the same welcome they gave us like a marching band[?] The most I could do is
to treat them  to lunch [?].

I have a 2002 DepEd curriculum from Grs. 1-6, all subjects, which I can
share with you. But I want to check theirs if they are using  the RBEC or
Revised Basic Ed Curriculum which I think came out in 2006 or 2007. Will let
you know after the meeting on Monday.

Re the curriculum design, if I may suggest, I would like the "champion"
teachers to be part of the process. This is going to be one of the
components in the teacher training program we will conduct sometime in the
first quarter. We still have to draft the timeline factoring the delay in
the manufacturing of the 1.5 XO models.

Will give you updates soon.
