i blow my conch and summon my PA comrades-at-arms

Wait


What's this now?

Oh I found out today I'm doing this next week (talking for thirty minutes at the meeting). My supervisor is giving me stuff my senpai made last year that I can use as 参考.

sounds great, let's do it

I'll do a presentation on ALT weak spots and which ALT gives you the most XP

thanks for being the only helpful one songbanana

songbanana is a good lady

i dont do this, but if given the chance i would really like to encourage COs to work with leaving jets to create a guide on some stuff. the leaving jets should be making their own little documents, but cooperation between them would go a long way in getting answers to some basic stuff for people straight off the bat.

:c

...but I don't have any useful advice to give yet.
Cos I only learnt this morning that I was going to have to prepare something.

this is my 3rd time :3

Is this different from 都道府県別サポート研修会?

according to songbanana, they are the same...?

here 担当者セミナー is just for HS teachers (94/100 ALTs here are prefectural) so it's hosted by the 県教育委員会, hence it's mostly the BOE JPA who does all the work. we don't have anything for the 市町 sups so I can't help. sorry D:

According the the 通知 my JPA got, it's officially called ＪＥＴプログラム担当者会議. The 都道府県別サポート研修会 is (I believe) a general term for any training seminar the COs get, which CLAIR offered to send a speaker to (in a different 通知) so it could refer to the 担当者会議, if the pref has another 会議 that would probably work too as long as it fulfills the requirements they specify (# of participants, etc.)

We had two last month. I asked the Regional Prefectural Advisors in Geefs to give me a list of shizz they wanted me to tell the Sups. They contained things like actually talk to us, tell us about garbage things when we get there, tell us about evacuation places, dont think that everything we do is everything that everyone in our country does, give us a schedule of school events in advance. Then I also explained about the support system we have and stuff.

Basically I was in charge of talking in more depth about the support system we have and voicing all ALT complaints.

Here's what I talked about at ours this year:
-resources that JETs have (PA/AJET website, 引継書 etc)
-give info to your JETs
-things JETs can do (ex. using ALTs over the summer, having CIRs do more than just translation)
-create a 相談しやすい environment (mostly talked about 勤務評定 which is in the manual and supporting mental health, since there's that new online counseling system)

If you haven't looked at it yet I recommend all y'all get a copy of the CO manual--it's full of keigo and jargon but it answers some procedural questions ALTs might have and you know how much COs know so when someone says "my supervisor doesn't know" it makes sense (or you can point them to the right page)
