First act: preparing the class
Each weekly encounter begins with the moment for preparing class. This activity lasts for 1 hour.
With guidance from the educator and monitor, the young teachers organize their activities and get ready for the encounter with the senior, planning and revising contents and materials to be used.
The classes are personalized and should respect both the pace of learning and interests of the senior. However, some contents are obligatory, since they are basic prerequisites for the use of more advanced or specific tools. These contents include activities such as switching on or off, use of basic software, use of keyboard and mouse, and others.
In this respect, he educator guides the young person on perceiving developments in the student's learning process: difficulties, blockages, specific demands. The young people should always be available to talk, exchange ideas and understand the student's expectations and concerns. The educator and monitor assist the young people at this time, ensuring classes are comprehensible and contents are clearly expounded, following the parameters already presented on the third day of training.
Second act: the class as such
At this time, the seniors are given an individual class (one young person for each senior) and learn how to use computer applications (Word, Internet, others). This activity lasts for 1 hour.
During class, the young has autonomy in handling the teaching-learning process, but the educator may assist in cases where the young person has great difficulty in self-expression, the senior's difficulty in understanding, or relationship problems in pairs or any other situation in which the educator sees that an intervention is really necessary.
Third act: chat, casual approach and socializing
When class ends, seniors, young people, educators and monitors get together to talk and relax. At least 15 minutes are set aside for socializing.
This time offers an opportunity for casual conversation and a collective snack.

| In the format adopted by Cidade Escola Aprendiz, a snack is provided for participants and covered by the budget. If there is no snack, other forms of socializing should be considered. |
Fourth act: reflection, evaluation and registration
After socialization and contact with seniors has ended, the young teachers, educator and monitor meet to exchange impressions of the class. This time for reflection on the group's practice is mediated by the educator and each young person reports their experiences, sharing new teaching and learning techniques.
The young people may present their problems and challenges as teachers, pose ideas and examples of their own, or discuss forms of improving oral expression and communication.
As well as evaluating methodology and strategies, upcoming contents may be revised and the format of classes planned based on the perception of the seniors' learning process.
