PRO Week
When should PROS usually book time to attend weekly PROS sessions?
Wednesdays from 1:00 to 3:00.
Sessions may take place in Niza, Calle 100, Downtown, or Virtual.
Who should PROS sign attendance with on Saturdays?
Their Team Teacher.
Attendance is not optional or informal.
Who is the Kids and Teens Program leader?
Mauricio Castañeda.
You may add that he supports class assignment, parent communication, complaint resolution, and administrative matters.
Before preparing your weekly session, who should you contact first?
Your supervisor.
Share one hobby or interest you have outside work or study.
Everyone should share at least one short answer. Award the point if the team listens respectfully and remembers at least one interest from another person.
Name two things a PRO should do before Saturday.
Possible answers: contact the supervisor, meet with the Team Teacher, bring ideas, prepare material, book material, ask questions in advance.
Accept any two that show preparation before class.
Name two ways a PRO can support the Team Teacher during class.
Possible answers: assist with activities, help with materials, support classroom routines, help fill comments, grades, and absences under TT supervision, observe students’ performance, support students when appropriate.
Make sure they include “under TT supervision” for grades, comments, and absences.
Who creates courses, assigns classes and tutoring sessions, supports administrative procedures, reports payroll, and tracks absences and lateness?
Yolima Cantero.
This one is about operational and administrative program support.
What should you bring to the meeting with your supervisor?
Ideas about the assigned topic, possible materials, questions, and the material for the assigned date.
The idea is not arriving empty-handed.
Find one thing that at least two people in your team have in common.
The team must name the common interest clearly. Example: “Two of us like hiking,” “Three of us enjoy music,” “We both like working with kids.”
You do not understand the topic assigned for your weekly session. What should you do?
Contact the supervisor, schedule a meeting, bring questions and possible ideas, and clarify expectations before the session.
The key idea is not waiting until the last minute.
You need to leave the classroom for a moment. What should you avoid?
Do not abandon the classroom or leave students unsupervised, especially because they are working with kids and teens.
Understand safety and supervision as non-negotiable.
Rosa Pérez and Lorena Osorio help Mauricio with what?
They help keep the operation going in the branches and support program logistics.
Your weekly session should include an assessment moment. What does that mean?
It means planning a moment to check what participants understood, practiced, produced, or still need to clarify.
Do not accept “a test” as the only answer. Assessment can be quick, formative, and simple.
Choose one person in your team and complete: “I remember ___ because they like/enjoy ___.”
This connects directly with the warm-up. Award the point if they remember the person’s name and one real detail.
Why is the weekly check-in with your supervisor important?
Because it helps the PRO prepare, clarify doubts, receive guidance, and improve before leading or supporting a session.
They should connect the check-in with planning, feedback, and professional growth.
A PRO missed time and needs to make up hours. What should happen?
A PRO missed time and needs to make up hours. What should happen?
They should not arrange make-up hours casually or without approval.
A teacher is absent, or teachers need to be checked in classrooms when the bell rings. Who supports this?
PS, Permanent Substitute.
They may also mention that PS helps share important information and support logistics.
Who leads the weekly session: the PRO or the supervisor?
The PRO leads the session, and the supervisor assists, guides, and supports.
This is key. PROS should see themselves as active leaders, not passive assistants.
As a team, choose one activity you enjoy as learners and explain why it works.
They should mention an activity and a reason. Example: games because they lower anxiety, group work because it helps us speak, visuals because they help us understand, movement because it gives energy.
Complete the idea: “A prepared PRO does not only arrive on Saturday. A prepared PRO…”
Plans during the week, communicates with the TT and supervisor, prepares materials, and asks questions in advance.
This is an open answer. Award the point if they connect preparation with communication and responsibility.
Why should PROS keep track of students’ performance from day one?
Because it helps them support the TT, understand students’ progress, contribute to feedback, and make better teaching decisions.
Look for connection with observation, assessment, comments, and student support.
Match the support: Juniors, IT Support, and Trámites y Solicitudes.
Juniors: materials, library, multimedia lab, LMS or CCA platforms.
IT Support: technical issues.
Trámites y Solicitudes: platform where parents and students make requests to Colombo.
hey do not need exact wording, but they should distinguish the three clearly.
What makes a PRO ready to lead a session?
Being prepared with ideas, materials, clear instructions, and an assessment moment, after meeting with the supervisor.
Award the point if they connect leadership with preparation, not improvisation.
Create a 30-second mini activity to help students learn each other’s names or interests.
The activity should be simple, classroom-friendly, and replicable. It should include what students do and what the teacher checks or listens for.
