APIBA Programmes: News APIBA Junior Programme is aimed at teacher trainees who are at the last stage of their course of studies and would like to network with graduate teachers to start off their career. Read more The APIBA Senior Members’ Club will soon schedule a meeting to decide the scope and frequency of their activities. Those willing to join please contact Claudia Naom senior@apiba.org.ar The Mentoring Programme offered by APIBA welcomes members who would like to become mentees as well as members who would like to become mentors themselves by sharing their experience and helping others. The good news is that both ends of the programme are extremely rewarding. The satisfaction one gains from helping someone else succeed is a great personal reward. It goes without saying that mentees benefit from mentoring programmes, which perhaps are not so popular among us but have proved extremely successful in different parts of the world where they are regularly used as a tool for induction. Do contact us if you are facing a change in your career and feel a mentor can help you meet the new challenges. Read more For further information or to request an interview, please write to Inés Cambiasso mentorazgo@apiba.org.ar “I’d like to share with you my experience with the mentorship programme offered by APIBA. I had a meeting with Inés Cambiasso in March and we discussed the changes I wanted to implement in my teaching career after devoting almost 20 years to in-company teaching. We analysed each of the projects I had in mind, its feasibility, and pros and cons. I’m grateful to Inés for her professionalism, honesty and generosity and to APIBA for this service.” Analía Esquerré

Social News from APIBA Members La Subcomisión Sociales APIBA comenzó su tarea de 2013 convocando a sus socios a visitar a la Prof. Clemencia Baraldi en su lugar de rehabilitación. Varias profesoras respondieron a la convocatoria con visitas que tanto reconfortaron a la profesora. Sumamos a la presencia de las colegas, la colaboración de Mónica Gandolfo y Claudia Ferradas que prestaron su notebook y módem móvil respectivamente y a los participantes de la colecta que reúne fondos para la Subcomisión de Sociales.


Merece destacarse la labor de Daniel Onyscenko, alumno de inglés de Clem y su profesor de computación que habitualmente se encuentra con ella los lunes, miércoles y sábados de 18 a 20 para acompañarla tan afectuosamente. Hoy nos alegra comunicar que Clem ha regresado a su hogar y continúa su recuperación. La inundación del 2/4/2013 afectó severamente a nuestras Socias Silvia Iummato en el barrio de Saavedra y a Nelba Quintana en la ciudad de La Plata. Por tal motivo, buena parte de los recursos obtenidos en la colecta permitieron hacer llegar ayuda a nuestras queridas colegas. Felicitaciones a  nuestros Socios recientemente jubilados: Beatriz Pena Lima, Claudia Naom, Jorge Ghenadenik y Ricardo Cavallini.  la Socia Virginia López Grisolía, quien recibió un reconocimiento por 25 años de trayectoria docente en el I.S.P. Dr. Joaquín V. González.  la Socia Jennifer Verschoor, galardonada con un Premio ELTons 2013 a la innovación en enseñanza del inglés APIBA Members, share your news through our Newsletter HERE APIBA wishes to thank Graciela Moyano sociales@apiba.org.ar for contacting APIBA Members to offer condolences, thank-you’s and congratulations.
