Honorarios Profesionales: Actualización
APIBA SIG Temas Profesionales realizó un relevamiento sobre el promedio de
los honorarios que nuestros asociados/as han aportado para cada rubro en base
al Relevamiento de honorarios profesionales, que comprende una consulta
sobre el valor de la hora de clase de 60 minutos. Es recomendable emplear
estos honorarios como referencia para fijar los propios. Trabajar en esta línea
significa conocer el mercado y saber qué hacen los colegas. Ver el Informe AQUÍ
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 [email protected]
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 [email protected]
“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
