Orientation sessions are conducted because we want to be informed and
reminded about the rules and regulations that the institution established. It also
conducted to ensure and clarify any concepts of misunderstanding about a certain rule
or policy that must be abided by us Pre-Service Teachers when we are deployed.

done for both parties throughout the internship journey of the Pre-Service Teachers in
the institution.
