On the 21st, the Office of Education held an orientation session for vice principals of 33 elementary schools in Jeonju at the audiovisual room of Jeonju Education Support Office to provide preliminary guidance and discuss customized support tailored to the developmental characteristics of elementary students.

To this end, since March, the Office of Education has been in close consultation with Jeonju National University of Education and accepted volunteer applications from 100 second- and third-year students at Jeonju National University of Education through course registration.

Starting with this orientation, pre-activities such as remote training to strengthen the capabilities of prospective teachers and meetings between operating schools and prospective teachers will be conducted.

From next month until November, assistant teachers will be assigned to 33 elementary schools in Jeonju that have expressed interest, where they will work as assistant teachers during regular classes to provide focused support for students who are lagging in learning.

Specifically, they will engage in various activities within operating hours according to each school's utilization plan, including ▲ ‘First Step Support for Lower Elementary Grades’ guiding Korean and math for lower elementary students who learn slowly ▲ ‘Basic Learning (3R′s) Support’ teaching reading, writing, and basic math for grades 1 to 6 ▲ ‘Subject Learning Improvement Support’ for Korean, math, etc. ▲ ‘Learning Concerns and Counseling Support’ assisting with lifestyle counseling and learning concerns for students lagging in learning ▲ ‘Learning Coaching Support’ including learning type assessments, interest enhancement, study planning, learning methods, and support for students with reading difficulties.

When prospective teachers are in session or during school vacations, operating hours can be adjusted through mutual consultation.

Assistant teachers will work for a total of 29 sessions (58 hours), two hours per session, and upon completion, they will be credited with 30 hours of volunteer service.

An official from the Office of Education said, “We have implemented the basic academic skills assistant teacher system involving Jeonju National University of Education students to ensure no student is left behind in learning,” adding, “We will improve basic academic skills through customized support tailored to the developmental characteristics of elementary students and create classrooms where learning is enjoyable.”
