Introduction

“Teachers are the most influential persons in the world.

They touch hearts as well as they educate minds “

-Anonymous

A Practicum or Student Teaching Practicum is designed to give students

supervised practical application of a previously or concurrently studied theory. It gives

opportunity for the future teacher to experiment of the strategies he learned, it serves as

his training background. The teaching practicum is not an independent teaching

experience; it is one that provides feedback and supervision by a faculty member who

oversees a guided teaching or learning experience. In this methodology in which student

teachers are purposefully engage with direct experience and focused reflection in order to

increase knowledge, develop skills and clarify values. Practicum can teach you more

about what you do and what you don’t want to do. No one’s career path is a straight line.

Everyone starts off with a vision of their ideal job, but this vision is really just a guess

based on purely on hypothetical. A funny thing often happens when someone starts

working at their ideal job, they realize it’s not so ideal for them after all.

The practicum can be completed in a faculty member’s course where the faculty

member remains the primary instructor for the course, or in a course for which the

graduate student is the primary instructor. In each case, evidence must be provided that

documents in-class instruction and a range of supervisory and reflective experiences.

 The main purpose of this Practicum or Student Teaching is to give opportunities

for the student teacher to teach in an actual classroom set up. Student teacher should

learn how to teach the students in an effective manner, demonstrate different teaching

strategies and methods, guide their students in acquiring knowledge, practice the virtue

of patience and goodness to the students, help the students to excel in their academics,

assist the students to the right path towards their studying habits, aid them to adjust their

classroom behaviors and performances, inspire them to respect their selves, their mentors

and community, appreciate all the students efforts, marginalized their expectations to

their student and give plenty of motivations to their students. From this Practicum, the

student teacher also gains deeper understanding and development regarding effective

teaching. Student Teaching includes the enhancement of the student communication skill

since this will be useful throughout his studies and teaching.

History

In the early seventies, the growing number of people in the GSIS La Mesa

Homeowners Association (GLAMEHA) triggered the need for a high school in Lagro

Subdivision. The officers of GLAMEHA requested fervently for an establishment of a

high school next to Lagro Elementary School. With the aid of the city government and

the education bureau, Novaliches High School with Mr. Florencio Dumlao as principal

started accepting students. This high school annex started on June 13, 1974 with 87

students and a facility, which were humbly two housing units in Block 59 and chairs the

students provided themselves.

On August 26 of the same year, Lagro Annex was transferred to the Lagro Elementary

School compound and occupied the sawali-walled makeshift building. The high school

was then headed by Mr. Crispulo A. Pilar with Mr. Narciso M. Caingat, Mrs. Nilfa C.

Caingat and Mrs. Greta Manlapig as pioneer teachers.

Two years after, the enrolment rose to 249 from the former 87 with three sections

in first year, two in second year, and one in third year. They were all managed to stay in

just four classrooms guided by nine teachers.

The first graduation from this high school happened two years after with an

increased enrolment of 461 with Mrs. Josefa Q. Maglipon, head of the Home Economics

Department in Novaliches High School, who replaced Mr. Pilar(who left for the United

States).

The School Year 1977-1978 reached 774 with 15 sections occupying seven

classrooms. With this problem on accommodation, Mr. Florencio Dumlao appealed to the
national government for a Lagro Annex Building. Through the unrelenting efforts of the

department head-in-charge and with the PTA lobbying behind, the 1.3 hectare present

school site, and building became a reality.

At the opening of classes on June 11, 1978, 923 students flocked the newly

constructed building which was a two-story 18-room structure standing proudly with

Mrs. Maglipon as head of the school. She was replaced with Mr. Silverio Reinoso. Mr.

Reinoso had to continue with the challenge to manage 19 sections of students with just 32

teachers.

It was the significant day of September 1, 1978 that Lagro High School was

inaugurated by Mrs. Commemoracion M. Concepcion, the former schools division

superintendent. Thus, it has become its foundation day.

Hand in hand with the influx of residents in Lagro Subdivision is the continuous

increase of student population. And to accommodate this increasing population, a six-

room building on the southern site of the campus was constructed. The school then also

improved with the completion of concrete fences surrounding the campus, construction of

the stage and the new steel flagpole, all to house and educate the community.

Mr. Reinoso was replaced by Mrs. Virginia H. Cerrudo on September of 1981.

Mrs. Cerrudo was replaced with Ms. Felicidad C. Gutierrez in 1987 bringing

another building funded by the city government. The same year created the Lagro High

School-Payatas Annex with 257 students. This annex was assigned to Mrs. Sheridan

Evangelista, who was then the Social Studies Department Head of the Main School.
Promoted as Principal IV, Ms. Gutierres was transferred to E. Rodriguez Jr. High School.

Mr. William S. Barcena took her place as the principal of Lagro High School on June

1991.

Three years after, Mr. Barcena was replaced by Mrs. Cristina C. Monis, the

General Education Supervisor I-English, as Officer-In-Charge on January 8, 1993.

Mr. Gil T. Magbanua replaced Mrs. Monis on June 13, 1993 to accommodate the

continuous increasing enrollees, the three-story building funded by the Quezon City

Government was constructed. The third Annex in Fairview was finally opened with Mrs.

Justina A. Farolan as the Teacher-In-Charge.

Dr. Consolacion C. Montano replaced Dr. Gil Magbanua later on with more

improvements.

Mrs. Sheridan Evangelista made her comeback as the principal of Lagro High

School in 1998 with improved facilities and technology advancements for the school.

The dawn of more improvements was realized when Dr. Fernando C. Javier

became the principal in April 2003. The construction of the new building previously

applied by Mrs. Sheridan Evangelista was built and inaugurated by the successor, Dr.

Javier. The SB Building and the full renovation of the formerly called Social Hall was

transformed into a multi-purpose conference room conveniently equipped with

multimedia projectors and modern sound technology now being utilized for events,

seminars, workshops by the whole division. The construction of the new gate,

renovations of all facilities and the covered court; Lagro High School now boasts of not
only its talents but it’s conducive learning ambience sure to provide every learner more

motivation to pursue his dreams.

Lagro High School reaped achievements in the district, division, regional and

national competition under Dr. Javier. The Bureau of Alternative Learning System was

established and soon after the Open High School. The Special Education Program was

established accepting deaf and blind students. The Guidance Program was also enhanced

and improved with the administration of Dr. Javier. International competitions, speech

and debate contests sponsored by the government and private companies, Palarong

Pambansa, National Schools Press Conference and the creation of the Special Program in

the Arts which annually showcases talents in its culminating activities.

Today, as we speak, Lagro High School does not only have a growing number of

enrollees but also consistently develops as a community that consists of highly

competitive and productive members.

Brief Synopsis of Professional Readings

Student Teaching Guidelines

http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/education/jlemke/courses/st-guide.htm

This page provides information on the Student Teaching experience in Science

Education.

Requirements

To do student teaching in science you must:

1. Be registered for Education 65.04 or 613.2

2. Satisfy all pre-requisites and any co-requisites for 65.04 or 613.2

3. Have completed undergraduate science courses, including advanced electives, in

the topic areas covered by the senior high school curriculum in the subject in

which you will do your student teaching

4. Have maintained close to a "B" average in science and related courses

5. Be able to communicate effectively with students in a high school classroom

Normally you should be a science major or have completed a B.A. or B.S. degree in

Biology, Chemistry, Geology, or Physics. You should have most of the 36 science credits

needed for New York State teacher certification. You must apply in advance for

admission to student teaching courses, submit your transcripts, and be approved by the

Secondary Education program and the course instructor.

Placement

All students approved for student teaching in science are assigned to a senior high school,

normally one near the college campus. Student teachers are grouped together at particular

schools to facilitate supervision and evaluation of your work; special requests for

placement in particular schools normally cannot be honored.

You will receive a letter of assignment to a particular school informing you of the

department and department head (usually an Assistant Principal) to whom you should

report at the start of the public school semester. You should normally report to the school

before the first class at the College. It is a good idea to telephone the school a day ahead

and speak with the department head.

Responsibilities:

1. Be on time for all work at the school. Call in if you must be late or absent, just as

a teacher would do.

2. Follow the directions of your Co-operating Teacher regarding all school

procedures.

3. Your conduct and dress should be appropriate and meet the school's standards

4. You should be well-prepared for all lessons, tutorials, or other formal work with

students

5. You should refer all problems to your Co-operating Teacher, department head, or

college instructor
Activities:

1. Observing teachers and their classes, particularly your Co-operating

Teacher; Guidelines

2. Teaching whole-class lessons or portions of lessons

3. Assisting your Co-operating Teacher in class and/or team teaching

4. Helping or tutoring students individually and in small groups

5. Assisting with laboratory work, field trips, demonstrations, work in the science

preparation room

6. Learning and carrying out routine classroom and school duties of a teacher, as

appropriate

NOTE that normally you will mainly observe and assist in the first few weeks of the

semester, teach the class for all or part of a period about once a week during the middle

of the term, and teach whole lessons once a week or more often in the final weeks of the

term. You should teach your first lesson to the class no later than early March. You will

normally do most of your teaching in one class of your Co-operating Teacher's program,

but may also teach occasionally in other classes.

Observations

Your teaching will be observed during the term by a supervisor from Brooklyn College,

either the course instructor or another faculty member. You will also get advice on your

teaching from your Co-operating Teacher and perhaps from the department head. In the

early part of the semester you should model your teaching after the routines and
procedures of your Co-operating Teacher. Later you can try out various methods

discussed in the seminar or original ideas of your own, with the Co-operating Teacher's

approval. Your first official observation will mainly be diagnostic and count least toward

your final evaluation. The last two observations of the term will normally count more and

will look for progress and attention to recommendations made to you after the first

observation.

Co-operating Teachers

Your Co-operating Teacher, also known as a Mentor Teacher, receives credit from the

College for working with you. You should regard the C.T. as a primary source of

information, advice, and guidance as you learn how to perform the role of a teacher. The

classes in which you may teach are the responsibility of the C.T., and so you should defer

to the C.T.'s policies with regard to the class. If you want to try something different,

discuss it in advance. Co-operating Teachers know that you are there to learn and to try

out teaching methods of various kinds and will generally be willing to let you use

methods presented in the college seminar. Remember that students get used to particular

policies and procedures and teaching methods and that while they like variety, they may

find new approaches confusing at first. Accept the guidance of your C.T. in general, but

also show some initiative in proposing teaching ideas.

Help for Student Teachers

By Melissa Kelly, About.com Guide

October 1, 2010

Many student teachers are in the middle of their teaching internships. In my

experience, the student teaching experience varies from one person to another. You might

have a great group of students or a challenging group. You might have a wonderful

cooperating teacher or one who doesn't provide you with enough guidance. Hopefully

these top ten tips for student teachers can help make the student teaching experience more

successful in the short and long term. Student teachers and their instructors can use these

top ten tips to help them be more effective in their initial teaching assignments.

Student teachers are often placed into an awkward and stressful situation, not

really sure of their authority and sometimes not even placed with veteran teachers who

are much help. These tips can aid student teachers as they begin their first teaching

assignments. Please note: these are not suggestions for how to approach the students but

instead for how to most effectively succeed in your new teaching environment.

1. Be On Time

Punctuality is very important in the 'real world'. If you are late, you will definitely NOT

start out on the right foot with your cooperating teacher. Even worse, if you arrive after a

class has begun which you are supposed to be teaching, you are placing that teacher and

yourself in an awkward situation.

2. Dress Appropriately

As a teacher, you are a professional and you are supposed to dress accordingly. There is

nothing wrong with over dressing during your student teaching assignments. The clothes

do help lend you an air of authority, especially if you look awfully young. Further, your

dress lets the coordinating teacher know of your professionalism and dedication to your

assignment.

3. Be Flexible

Remember that the coordinating teacher has pressures placed upon them just as you have

your own pressures to deal with. If you normally teach only 3 classes and the

coordinating teacher asks that you take on extra classes one day because he has an

important meeting to attend, look at this as your chance to get even further experience

while impressing your dedication to your coordinating teacher.

Flexibility is the one the top six keys to being a successful teacher.

4. Follow the School Rules

This might seem obvious to some but it is important that you do not break school rules.

For example, if it is against the rules to chew gum in class, then do not chew it yourself.

If the campus is 'smoke-free', do not light up during your lunch period. This is definitely

not professional and would be a mark against you when it comes time for your

coordinating teacher and school to report on your abilities and actions.

In addition, follow your own classroom rules.

5. Plan Ahead

If you know you will need copies for a lesson, do not wait until the morning of the lesson

to get them completed. Many schools have procedures that MUST be followed for

copying to occur. If you fail to follow these procedures you will be stuck without copies

and will probably look unprofessional at the same time.

6. Befriend the Office Staff

This is especially important if you believe that you will be staying in the area and

possibly trying for a job at the school where you are teaching. These people's opinions of

you will have an impact on whether or not you are hired. They can also make your time

during student teaching much easier to handle. Don't underestimate their worth.

7. Maintain Confidentiality

Remember that if you are taking notes about students or classroom experiences to turn in

for grades, you should either not use their names or change them to protect their

identities. You never know who you are teaching or what their relationship might be to

your instructors and coordinators.

8. Don't Gossip

It might be tempting to hang out in the teacher lounge and indulge in gossip about fellow

teachers. However, as a student teacher this would be a very risky choice. You might say

something you could regret later. You might find out information that is untrue and
clouds your judgement. You might even offend someone without realizing it. Remember,

these are teachers you could be working with again some day in the future.

9. Be Professional With Fellow Teachers

Do not interrupt other teachers' classes without an absolutely good reason. When you are

speaking with your coordinating teacher or other teachers on campus, treat them with

respect. You can learn a lot from these teachers, and they will be much more likely to

share with you if they feel that you are genuinely interested in them and their

experiences.

10. Don't Wait to the Last Minute to Call in Sick

You will probably get sick at some point during your student teaching and will need stay

home for the day. You must remember that the regular teacher will have to take over the

class during your absence. If you wait until the last minute to call in, this could leave

them in an awkward bind making them look bad to the students. Call as soon as you

believe you will not be able to make it to class.

How to Be a Good Student Teacher

by eHow Contributor

updated: February 04, 2011

Be a Good Student Teacher

Your student teaching year can be physically and emotionally exhausting. A good student

teacher will still manage to be responsible, independent, committed to education, and

keep a good sense of humor.

1 Consult at length with your master teacher at the start of the term. Be sure you know

what his or her philosophy of teaching and classroom objectives are before you make

large plans for classroom activities.

2 Make arrangements with your master teacher to take a few minutes each day to discuss

classroom events, possible future activities, and procedure.

3 Inform yourself about any particular school regulations that you and your students must

abide by. Know the rules by heart so you can give definite answers to your students, who

will be testing your authority.

4 Familiarize yourself with relevant legal issues, such as those concerning child abuse,

substance abuse and sexual harassment among students.

5 Show genuine interest in your students' schoolwork and progress, and leave personal

relationships with students to the school counselors.

6 Show initiative and independence by assuming responsibility for the preparation of

individual lessons or entire learning units.

7 Show resourcefulness by gathering materials and introducing educational methods you

are learning in your graduate studies.

Professional Development Plan/ Career Plan

According to the thesaurus of the Educational Resources Information Center

(ERIC) database, professional development refers to "activities to enhance professional

career growth." Such activities may include individual development, continuing

education, and inservice education, as well as curriculum writing, peer collaboration,

study groups, and peer coaching or mentoring.

Fullan (1991) expands the definition to include "the sum total of formal and

informal learning experiences throughout one's career from preservice teacher education

to retirement" (p. 326).

Considering the meaning of professional development in the technological age, Grant

(n.d.) suggests a broader definition of professional development that includes the use of

technology to foster teacher growth:

"Professional development ... goes beyond the term 'training' with its implications

of learning skills, and encompasses a definition that includes formal and informal means

of helping teachers not only learn new skills but also develop new insights into pedagogy

and their own practice, and explore new or advanced understandings of content and

resources. [This] definition of professional development includes support for teachers as

they encounter the challenges that come with putting into practice their evolving

Narrative Report

Week 1

December 6- 10, 2010

It’s or first week of Practicum. I’m so excited because finally, we will be able to

start our Practicum after are one month of waiting. We know that was a rough start for

us; there are many things we needed to patch up and proved to our Cooperating Teachers,

most especially to our T.L.E Department Head that in spite, we don’t have any written

memorandum of agreement, we’re definitely worthy to accept.

During our first week, I didn’t expect a huge number of students in one class.

Actually, I handle five classes of freshmen students. Every Monday, I have five class

periods; Tuesday, 4 class periods; Wednesday, 4 class periods; Thursday, 3 class periods;

and Friday, 4 class periods. In each class I have maximum of 55 students with different

perspective in studying.

I just realized that for this Practicum, I need to impose different approaches to

every one of them.

Week 2

December 13- 17, 2010

For this week, my Cooperating Teacher asked me to create a Block Plan for the

Third Grading period. Block Plan is like a guide or somewhat like a Lesson Plan. The

difference is that in block plan, there are specific activities for the whole grading period

and the discussion is continuous until a respective lesson finished. It is the new approach

in today’s curriculum, UBD or Understanding by Design in which the learners are the

main focus rather than the subject matter. It gives students wider opportunities to acquire

knowledge and more time to do their lessons.

Anyway, my students were all excited for their upcoming Christmas Party; they

didn’t pay much attention to our lessons and activities. I’ve got irritated to their attitudes

towards studying. I wish they would realize that in this coming New Year.

Week 3

January 3- 7, 2011

All is refreshed. I have many things to look forward to for this year. I’ve greeted

my students with a positive outlook regarding their performances and thoughts in

studying. Everything was fine, well except for some of my misbehaved students in one

particular section. These students have poor attitudes and studying habits. They were

this group of high school students who bullies their classmates, even their student

teachers and make fun of their teachers. They tried to frighten me with their rough deeds
and unwanted rants, but sad to say, they will never pull me off, excuse me--- a PUPian,

they will try to scare me of? As if, I would give up to them. Never.

Week 4

January 10- 14, 2011

My students and I were now finish on our adjustment and getting-to-know- each

other period. I want them to feel comfortable with me, on the way I teach them and my

requirements for them. On my five sections, section Gardenia/ Doña Aurora really stood

out. They were the kind of students who never hesitate to do activities and they do really

work hard. I really appreciate them because they always obey me and they are respectful

to me.

Week 5

January 17- 21, 2011

For this week, I gave them different activities to do for the completion of their 3rd

Grading activities. They have a week to comply on those activities for their grades. In

addition, I gave them their Unit Test. Unfortunately, almost half of them didn’t get high

scores as I expected—even just half of the perfect score. I’m frustrated and sad to know

that they didn’t study hard for their examinations despite our everyday discussions and

deeper understanding on each topics.

Week 6

January 24- 28, 2011

Before I begin this week, I talked to my students about their last week’s

performance. I mentioned to them our very first agreement that they are the one who’s

doing their grades not me. My responsibilities are to teach them and make sure that they

fully understand all our discussions and assist them in their studying and they are obliged

to work for their grades. It’s just a simple agreement and yet they neglected it. I hope

they perceive our conversations and used it to the following weeks.

For this week also, I gave them their 3rd Grading Examination and it was a relief

because they passed on that exam! Wew!

Week 7

January 31- February 4, 2011

This week is the official start of their Fourth Grading Period. It is quarter for

another strategies and ways of teaching my students. I also created Block Plan—Pre

School Care. Before the week ends, I scheduled them for their individual reports and

explained them their different activities and project to be passed before the grading

period finished.
Week 8

February 7- 11, 2011

I have to get ready for my Final Demonstration for next week. I gave them

activities for next week because I know that next week will be a busy week for me and

my co-student teachers. Reporting started this week.

Week 9

February 14- 18, 2011

Yay! It’s the Final Demonstration week for all the morning shifts Student

Teachers. And much to my dismay, I’m the very first to demonstrate in front. My Final

Demonstration went really very good. My participating class, section Gardenia/ Doña

Aurora participated very well and I’m really thankful for them. It’s a nerve- wracking

experience but I might say that all’s well, ends well. It’s a breathtaking moment for me

but the most memorable experience in my life.

Week 10

February 21- 25, 2011

Three weeks more. I have to work really hard for their examinations and added

requirements. For this week also, we started their project-making. Their project is to

create and design their own pre school toys like teddy bear and ball made out of cloth. I

provided cut out patterns for them so that it will be easy to them to make drafts on their

materials.
 And for the nth time, I’ve been angry to my misbehaved students because of the

ungrateful things they have done to my Cooperating Teacher while I was absent on their

time. This is the day that they need to have a wake up call for their attitudes.

Week 11

February 28 – March 4, 2011

Two weeks more. I’ve started to have a picture taking with my students. They

eventually asked me if I will be leaving them soon. I didn’t say yes but I didn’t say no. I

want to be a mystery to them. They continue their project making week.

Week 12

March 7- 12, 2011

It’s my last week of duty. It’s been a memorable and awesome experience for

me. The most unforgettable part? My students gave me tons of letters and gifts as their

remembrance for me. We have lots of picture taking and they promised me that they will

excel more on our subject and that they will never forget me.
Current Issues in Education

Foreign Issues

Barack Obama on Education

by Education.com

August 1, 2008

Americans voted in Barack Hussein Obama as president of the United States in an

election weighted down with the harsh realities of a down-turning economy and two

costly wars. Now that the dust is beginning to settle, many Americans are wondering

what the new president will do to improve their children's education.

Throughout his campaign, Barack Obama has said he plans to take a fresh, objective look

at the age-old debate over education issues. “A truly historic commitment to education –

a real commitment will require new resources and new reforms,” Obama says. “It will

require a willingness to break free from the same debates that Washington has been

engaged in for decades – Democrat versus Republican; vouchers versus the status quo;

more money versus moreaccountability. And most of all, it will take a President who is

honest about the challenges we face – who doesn’t just tell everyone what they want to

hear, but what they need to hear.” Where does Obama stand specifically on the most

pressing education issues? Here’s our cheat sheet on education according to Obama:
Standardized Testing

Standardized testing is stuck in the crossfire in the debate over accountability, and

Obama has stepped up to take aim. He says that too often standardized tests fail to

provide valuable or timely feedback. Meanwhile, “creativity has been drained from

classrooms, as too many teachers are forced to teach to fill-in-the-bubble tests,” Obama

says. He doesn’t go so far as to say he’ll drop testing completely; it should be one of the

“tools that we use to make sure our children are learning. It just can’t dominate the

curriculum to an extent where we are pushing aside those things that will actually allow

children to improve and accurately assess the quality of the teaching that is taking place

in the classroom.” How does he plan to revamp testing? “I will provide funds for states to

implement a broader range of assessments that can evaluate higher-order skills, including

students’ abilities to use technology, conduct research, engage in scientific investigation,

solve problems, present and defend their ideas,” says Obama.

School Choice

Obama says his focus is on providing good schools for all kids, and that's why he

does not support vouchers that allow parents to usepublic school money for private

school. “We need to invest in our public schools and strengthen them, not drain their

fiscal support,” he says. “In the end, vouchers would reduce the options available to

children in need. I fear these children would truly be left behind in a private market

system.” Obama is more open to charter schools working within the public school

system, calling them “important innovators” which improve healthy competition among
public schools. However, Obama says there need to be strong accountability measures in

place.

Obama's catch phrase for this topic is, “No Child Left Behind left the money

behind,” meaning that unfulfilled funding promises have limited the program's

effectiveness in improving public education. He says while the goals of No Child Left

Behind are right, the way they’ve been implemented is wrong: there needs to be better

assessment and a greater effort to ensure that every child has a successful teacher.

“Particularly at a time when our nation is facing a shortage in teachers due to retirement

and retention problems, it is important to ensure that we can attract, support, and retain

high-quality teachers,” he says. How does Obama propose we do this? By experimenting

with alternative preparation, mentoring and professional development programs, in

addition to providing fresh incentives for serving high-need schools. Specifically, he

plans to provide funding for 200 new Teacher Residency Programs, an idea he introduced

in the Senate last year. In these programs, individuals completing coursework for teacher

certification could serve as apprentices in the classrooms of veteran teachers, as long as

they pledged at least three years of service in the sponsoring district.

College Funding and Affordability

America lags behind many nations in the world when it comes tomaking college

affordable. How does Obama plan to get us caught up with the rest of the world? The

solution, he says, lies in his American Opportunity Tax Credit. “This universal and fully

refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely
free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average

public college or university,” he says. “And by making the tax credit fully refundable, my

credit will help low-income families that need it the most.” Obama says he also plans to

free up more money for aid by using public instead of privately funded loan providers.

Universal Preschool

The first step in closing the achievement gap is to make sure that children are

prepared when they start school, according to Obama. And that, he says, means providing

funding for voluntary, universal preschool programs. “Research shows that early

experiences shape whether a child's brain develops strong skills for future learning,

behavior and success. Without a strong base on which to build, children, particularly

disadvantaged children, will be behind long before they reach kindergarten,” he says,

adding that investing in early learning makes economic sense, as it can reduce the need

for costly services, such as special education.

Improvements to Science, Math and Technology Education

Obama says he wants to make math and science education a national priority, noting

that 80 percent of the fastest growing occupations are dependent upon a knowledge base

in science and math, yet studies show American students do not graduate with the skills

needed for these fields. Obama’s plan to align supply and demand is three-fold:
• Recruit High Quality Math and Science Teachers: “Obama will recruit math and

science degree graduates to the teaching profession and will support efforts to help

these teachers learn from professionals in the field,” his plan states online.

• Focus on Science Instruction: As part of his plan to double investment in early

education, Obama wants to research the development of science, math and

technology curriculum. He also wants to ensure that curriculum is accessible for all

grade levels. His campaign states, “Barack Obama will work with governors to create

flexible and workable systems for the states to achieve the goal of ensuring all

children have access to strong science curriculum at all grade levels. Obama will also

support state efforts to make science education a priority at the pre-K level.”

• Test Skills, Not Facts: The way students are tested in the areas of math and

science needs to be changed, Obama says, adding that he is committed to working

with governors and educators to test “inquiry and higher order thinking

skills including inference, logic, data analysis and interpretation, forming questions,

and communication.”

Merit Pay

One of Obama’s main crusades in the education arena is increasing teacher salaries.

“I don’t want to just talk about how great teachers are, I want to reward them for their

greatness when I’m President,” he says. And, despite the fact that many teachers unions

are opposed to it, he has suggested doing this through a type of pay for performance

system, or merit pay. Most merit pay systems reward teachers for their students’
performance on standardized tests. In Obama’s system, teachers would be rewarded if

they:

• Serve districts as mentors to new teachers.

• Teach in underserved areas or take on added responsibility.

• Learn new skills to serve students better.

• Consistently excel in the classroom.

Obama has tallied the expenses for his education plan at a cool $18 billion.

Wondering where he’ll get the money? According to his campaign web site, he plans to

delay a NASA project for five years, auction surplus federal property, close tax loopholes

for executives, and use “a small portion of the savings associated with fighting the war in

Iraq,” among other sources.

This is all part and parcel of Obama’s “historic commitment” to education. The president-

elect will need to address many challenging issues, education chief among them, when he

steps into office next January. Whether Americans will see Obama's education platform

promises become realties, only time will tell.

Current Issues in Education Today

http://www.truenews.org/education_today.html

Throughout our nation, public education today is failing our children at every

level, from kindergarten to college. Test scores are lower than that of many other

industrialized countries. Violence erupts at a moments notice. Drugs are pervasive.

Children can't read or write when they graduate. Students are not motivated to learn.

They are not accountable for their actions. What went wrong? Our education

system used to be the best in the world!

The problem stems from 30+ years of liberal, iron-fisted rule over our education

system. During that time, many tried and true foundational principles and teaching

techniques used for over 200 years that made this country great have been erased. Our

educational system has been led down an unproven and harmful path of liberal

indoctrination from which it will take at least a generation to recover. There are many

problems this politically-correct agenda has caused, including feel-good classes where

children learn little or nothing; lowered standards of excellence; social promotions of

students from grade to grade even when they don't pass and can't read or write; lack of

student discipline; little or no respect for teachers; situational morality; no standard of

right and wrong; condoms given to children in schools; unmotivated students; etc.

The list of failed practices and resulting consequences goes on and on. This has

been one big experiment for the last 30 years, and the education establishment and the

National Education Association (NEA) has reaped what it has sown.

Children are the prize to the winners of the cultural war. Those who control what young

people are taught and what they experience will determine the future course for this

nation. The last few decades have clearly shown how the predominant value system of an

entire culture can be overhauled by those with unlimited access to children.

Abraham Lincoln said, "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the

philosophy of the government in the next." We see that today, and it will only get worse

until our education system is wrested from the liberal establishment so that we can get it

back on the right track for our children. The purpose of education is to prepare our

children to succeed in life, and we are failing miserably. Their future, and ultimately our

country's future, depends on how well and how quickly we remove our failing school

system from the incompetence of liberals who have taken a generation captive.

Current Issues in Education

http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_guide/Current-Issues-in-Education.topicArticleId-
26957,articleId-26917.html

A number of issues and controversies now face educators and communities.

Among them are discipline and security; race, ethnicity, and equality;
mainstreaming; and public versus private education.

Discipline and security

Expressions of violence have increased in the culture, and so has violence in the

schools. In the past, only urban or poor inner-city schools worried about serious violence.

With recent school shootings in small towns from Kentucky to Oregon, all U.S. schools
and districts, however small, must now directly address the increased incidence of school

violence. Teachers have found children as young as kindergarten coming to school

armed.

Schools have reacted decisively. To reduce the threat from strangers or

unauthorized persons, many have closed campuses. Others require all persons on campus

to wear identification at all times. When the students themselves come to school armed,

however, the schools have been forced to take more drastic measures. Many have

installed metal detectors or conduct random searches. Although some people question

whether the searches constitute illegal search and seizure, most parents, students,

administrators, and teachers feel that, given the risk involved, the infringement on civil

liberties is slight.

Educators recognize that metal detectors alone will not solve the problem. Society

must address the underlying issues that make children carry weapons. Many schools

include anger management and conflict resolution as part of the regular curriculum. They

also make counseling more available, and hold open forums to air differences and resolve

conflicts.

School uniforms constitute another strategy for reducing violence, and public

schools across the country—large and small—are beginning to require them. Many

violent outbursts relate to gangs. Gang members usually wear identifying clothing, such

as a particular color, style, or garment. By requiring uniforms and banning gang colors

and markers, administrators can prevent much of the violence in the schools. Advocates

point out, too, that uniforms reduce social class distinctions and cost less than buying

designer wardrobes or standard school clothes.

Race, ethnicity, and equality

The first major examination of race, ethnicity, and equality in education came as

part of the civil rights movement. Ordered by Congress, the Commissioner of Education

appointed sociologistJames Coleman to assess educational opportunities for people with

diverse backgrounds. His team amassed information from 4,000 schools, 60,000 teachers,

and about 570,000 students. The subsequent Coleman Report produced unexpected—

and controversial—results, unforeseen even by researchers. The report concluded that the

key predictors of student performance were social class, family background and

education, and family attitudes toward education. The Coleman Report pointed out that

children coming from poor, predominantly non-white communities began school with

serious deficits and many could not overcome them. According to the report, school

facilities, funding, and curriculum played only minimal roles.

Some studies supported the Coleman Report's findings, while others disputed

them. Studies by Rist and Rosenthal-Jacobson demonstrated that specific classroom

practices, such as teacher attention, did affect student performance. Sociologists reconcile

the opposite findings by pointing out that Coleman's large-scale study reveals broad

cultural patterns, while classroom studies are more sensitive to specific interactions.

Sociologists conclude, then, that all of the factors named by the divergent studies do play

a role in student success. No matter how different the study results, all researchers agree

that a measurable difference exists between the performance of affluent white students

and their poorer, non-white counterparts.

Even though researchers widely disputed the Coleman Report, the report did bring

about two major changes:

 • First was the development of Head Start, a federal program for providing

academically focused preschool to low-income children. This program is

specifically designed to compensate for the disadvantages that low-income

students face. Head Start has proven successful, and most students who go

through the program as 4- or 5-year-olds continue to perform better than

students not enrolled in Head Start, at least through the sixth grade.

• The other consequence of the Coleman Report proved to be less successful

and far more controversial than the Head Start program. In an effort to

desegregate education, courts ordered some districts to institute busing—a

program of transporting students to schools outside their neighborhoods, that

they normally would not attend, in order to achieve racial balance. This

generally meant busing white students to inner-city schools and busing

minority students to suburban schools. Public opposition to busing programs

remains high, and the program has achieved only modest results.

Bilingual education, which means offering instruction in a language other than English,

constitutes another attempt to equalize education for minority students. Federally

mandated in 1968, bilingual education has generated considerable debate. Supporters

argue that students whose first language is not English deserve an equal educational

opportunity unavailable to them unless they can receive instruction in their first language.

Opponents counter that students not taught in English will lack the fluency needed to

function in daily life. Numerous studies support conclusions on both sides of the issue,

and, as funding becomes scarce, the debate will intensify.

Mainstreaming

Mainstreaming is the practice of placing physically, emotionally, or mentally

challenged students in a regular classroom instead of a special education classroom.

Educators continue to debate the merits and problems of mainstreaming. In general, the

practice seems to work best for students who can still keep pace with their peers in the

classroom, and less well for students with more severe challenges. Experts note that

exceptions do occur on both accounts and recommend careful consideration on a case-by-

case basis.

Public versus private

Most of the public-versus-private discussion centers on public education. One

cannot ignore the effect of private education and home schooling on American education,

however. Many parents who are dissatisfied with the quality of public education, who are

afraid of rising violence in the schools, or who want specific personal or religious values

integrated into the curriculum, turn to private and parochial schools. The majority of

private schools are religious, with the majority of those being Catholic.

Studies have found that private schools maintain higher expectations and that students in

these schools generally outperform their public school peers. These findings support the

Rist and Rosenthal-Jacobson studies.

Because of the success of private schools in educating at-risk students, more

parents are seeking ways to afford these institutions, which have been largely available

only to affluent white families who can pay the tuition costs. One proposed solution is

a voucher system. The government would issue parents credit worth a dollar amount to
take to the school of their choice, public or private. Advocates argue that this program

would make private schooling more available to poorer families and create more equal

opportunities. Critics charge that such a policy would drain public schools of needed

funding and further erode public schools. The vouchers would not cover the entire cost of

private school, and therefore still would not put private schooling within the reach of

poorer families. The program would result, opponents argue, in further segregation of

schooling. Other public school solutions include magnet schoolsthat provide a selective

academically demanding education and superior facilities for qualified students, charter

schools that offer flexible and innovative education independent of the traditional rules

and regulations governing public schools, and interdistrict and intradistrict

enrollments that permit any eligible student in one school district to apply for enrollment

in any district school or program.

Marginalization in education

By Butch Hernandez
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:25:00 03/18/2011

THE PHILIPPINES is a signatory to two international declarations: the Jomtien

World Declaration on Education For All in 1990 and the 2000 Dakar EFA.

These global commitments both stress that education is “a fundamental human right and

pushes the signatories to strengthen their efforts to improve education in order to ensure

the basic learning needs for all are met by 2015.”

Along with 154 countries and 150 organizations, we committed to “universalize

primary education and massively reduce illiteracy by the end of the decade.”

In 1999, it seemed that meeting at least some of the EFA targets, notably Universal

Primary Education for all, was a mere formality for the Philippines given where we were

and in the light of the education initiatives we were undertaking then.

Today, how close are we to meeting our EFA commitments?

In his presentation of the 2010 Education for All Global Monitoring Report held

last March 16, Dr. Anwar Al Said, head of the Education Unit of Unesco Jakarta, found it

unfortunate that the Philippines “provides a particularly striking example of

underperformance.”

“There is now a real danger that, without decisive political leadership, the Philippines

will miss the UPE goal by 2015,” he said during the Round Table discussion on the 2010
EFA GMR jointly organized by the Department of Education, the Asian Institute of

Journalism and Communications and Unesco Jakarta.

What does this really mean?

Very simply, it is in a country’s best interest to have a high quality education

system. That’s actually what the Jomtien and Dakar World Declarations on EFA are all

about.

The 2010 EFA GMR, entitled “Reaching The Marginalized,” points out that

“most governments are systematically failing to address the extreme and persistent

education disadvantages that leave large sections of their populations marginalized.”

Said found it laudable that the Philippines has begun serious efforts to implement two key

education reform initiatives, namely the K+12 Basic Education Cycle and Mother

Tongue Based Multilingual Education.

The present 10-year cycle actually marginalizes our graduates from the rest of the

world. Shifting to a 12-year cycle is the logical first step toward remedying this situation.

The 2010 EFA GMR however points out that “achieving EFA hinges not just on

delivering more years in school, but also on ensuring that children acquire the necessary

skills to shape their future life-chances.”

This is where Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education comes into play.

There is overwhelming global evidence that strengthening a child’s oral competency in

the language that he speaks at home during the early years of schooling is the best way

toward acquiring true reading competency (i.e., reading with full comprehension) in a

language of wider usage, such as English.

 In the same forum, Dr. Mario Taguiwalo commented that “our families,

communities and schools where our many mother tongues are spoken are the true

nurseries of the educated Filipino. In these mother tongue communities, foundational

learning is being acquired without much attention and support from education

professionals and other educated Filipinos. It is important that disciplinary learning in the

mother tongue be improved so that habits, emotions, feelings, images narratives and

frames acquired by Filipinos in their mother tongues provide them with strong

foundations for future learning in other languages. Cultural and literary output,

journalistic and media coverage, and scientific knowledge and information all in mother

tongues are important to support mother tongue education.”

Taguiwalo likewise strongly urged: “We should begin by conceiving our nation’s

education enterprise as something beyond our schools and universities to include our

families, communities, media, churches, arts and culture and workplaces. The leadership

of the education secretary in matters concerning the formation and enhancement of

Filipino human capacities should reach beyond our schools to include all institutions and

enterprises that provide knowledge, influence attitudes and create skills.”

“It is critical that the Department of Education educate parents to focus on

competencies rather than credentials. Most parents do not understand what is the

difference between someone with a high school diploma and someone with the

competencies expected of a high school graduate. Efforts must be exerted to demonstrate

to Filipino parents the social and economic value of competencies actually acquired
independent of the credentials that are supposed to signal for the presence of those

competencies.”

Dr. Cielito Habito, on the other hand, identified two critical characteristics of

Philippine education that prevent it from being truly inclusive: our education system is

focused on employment rather than job creation and on knowledge and information,

rather than wisdom. Habito explained that our schools tend to prepare students to work

for others, rather than to create work for others, to earn incomes, rather than create

wealth. He noted that Filipino students commonly dream of working for a multinational

company or overseas.

Said meanwhile feels that we really don’t have to spend too much time discussing

the whys and wherefores of our reform goals because research evidence that attest to their

correctness already exist. “Just go ahead resolutely, and the rest of society will follow” he

says.
ReImagining Philippine Education

By Ching Jorge

Philippine Daily Inquirer

First Posted 22:51:00 03/04/2011

THE RECENTLY concluded “ReImagine—Pilipinas Bukas” forum brought

together artists, entrepreneurs, business leaders, politicians and youth leaders in a three-

day event that was an exercise in re-imagining the Philippines 25 years from now.

It was also an opportunity to look back and see the strengths and weaknesses of our

nation given the 25th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution. How far have we

gone and where do we want to go? What is our vision for our country and how do we

achieve that vision? How do we take part in making that vision a reality?

Again, the answer lies in each and every one of us and the way by which we can

empower our communities—and our society in its entirety—to actively take part in

creating and bringing to life a ReImagined Philippines.

When the participants were asked to identify three issues that the country needed to focus

on, the majority answer of course was quality education that was accessible and

affordable for all Filipinos.

One common solution envisioned by the participants is for individuals to get

involved in more programs that aim to fully engage the community and the local

governments. Specifically this establishes mechanisms that would enable the community

to actively and consistently participate in crafting policies and making recommendations

to raise the standards for quality education. In effect, the vision of the participants is the

building of education communities.

This scenario made itself very evident during Synergeia Foundation’s

National Educators Summit where government leaders from different LGUs nationwide

gathered to share best practices and challenges in improving education in their respective

communities.

Of particular interest was the case of Upi, Maguindanao, which shared strategies

in reinventing their Local School Board. To start the process of generating sustained

community support, the local government convened an education summit where

concerned members of the community and education stakeholders discussed and aired

their views on Upi’s schools, teachers and the education system as a whole. To no one’s

surprise, the perceived stumbling blocks that the Upi community needed to hurdle toward

quality education included inadequate education funds, a lack of instructional materials,

poor academicperformance and low participation in education governance. The next step

was to transform Upi’s school board’s character from a static, administrative entity into a

progressive, empowered school board.

The participants said that they drew a lot of inspiration from Naga City’s

transformation of their own school board, under former Mayor and now Local

Government Secretary Jesse Robredo. A key feature of the Naga school board’s

transformation involved the inclusion of community representatives from the women’s

sector, religious sector, business sector, private schools and their people’s council. From

the traditional role of budgeting and performing administrative functions, the transformed
school board expanded to capacity building, performance measurement, resource

mobilization and policymaking. They also made sure to include a home tutoring program

for parents. This is truly an example of an empowered community working together to

improve their schools.

By getting the LGUs together to share best practices in education through

Synergeia Foundation, excellent programs are now being implemented from one city to

another.

The Association of Foundations’ Leadership for Nation Building, also a three-day

workshop, comes at a critical time when individuals and organizations are looking within

themselves for citizenship renewal. The role of an empowered civil society, as manifested

by a vigorous NGO community, is a vital component to push reforms and make the voice

of the people heard.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of enabling our leaders through

programs such as ReImagine Pilipinas and Leadership for Nation Building.

Programs like these underscore the supreme necessity of discussions to articulate and

clarify and redefine social goals and objectives. Moreover, activities like ReImagine

Pilipinas also serve to rekindle and renew the passion and commitment toward a

heightened sense of citizenship.

We now have to bring back this passion and the reforms closer to the people along with a

vision and defined goals and enable all members of society to contribute to making this

vision a reality.
 As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution, where

democracy was restored to the people by the people, we must remember that that same

power remains within each and every one of us. That collectively, with the same vision

and the same goals, we will be able to gain back the rights of every Filipino: the right to

quality education, the right to due justice and the full benefit of the law, the right to a

society free from corruption and political oppression. When we focus our efforts on

building better communities and when we empower our citizens with knowledge that is

gained from quality education, we provide opportunities and open doors to progress.

Through quality education we can rise again.

Six ways to capitalize on your own learning style

By HENRY S. TENEDERO

March 24, 2011, 8:45am

MANILA, Philippines -- Researchers have developed reliable assessment tools to

identify and characterize learning styles. Educational literature is burgeoning with a

growing body of research documenting the extraordinary effectiveness of this approach

in helping engineers, teachers, medical and law students, and nurses improve their

success with complex cognitive tasks.

This proves that understanding one’s own learning style is critical to personal

growth and achievement.

1) Recognize that each person is uniquely different, has different strengths, and learns

different. Research suggests that you are most effective when you use your strengths.

However, without taking stock of our own learning style, many of us try to produce

through our weaknesses. This leads to less productivity at work and wasted time at home.

2) Identify your own learning style. While some differences among people are readily

apparent, others are not. Therefore, it is important to use a reliable and valid standardized

instrument.

3) Once you know your style, use it to teach yourself anything that seems difficult or

challenging. This may be any complex task that requires concentration like outwitting the

government or writing notes to your child’s teacher. When there is greater harmony

between how you learn and you work, things will seem easier and move more rapidly.

4) Determine whether you are a step-by-step analytic processor or global learner who

needs to see the big picture before you can concentrate on details. Each of these learners

is equally intelligent, but functions differently.

Global learners often hum, speak, or sing to themselves to provide the sound they crave

while thinking. They tend to become hyperactive or tense in brightly-lit rooms. They

can’t sit at desks or tables for more than 15 or 20 minutes without sprawling, squirming

or moving. They snack, whisper, crouch, and lose interest in whatever they are exposed

to when taught analytically.

Conversely, analytics think best in a formal, quiet, brightly lit area with minimum food or

snacks. 5) Arrange or re-arrange your environment to take advantage of your own

learning style strengths. For example, if you like to hum while working, find a quiet place
where you won’t be bothering anyone else. If you need space, don’t work at the desk

where you keep your computer. If you need to take breaks, structure your time to allow

them but make sure you return to the task after a set interval.

6) Forget about the age-old wisdom, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you.” What you

don’t know about your own learning-style strengths can hurt you. Although people can be

productive in the wrong style (for them), they are significantly more so when they work

with their learning style.

In our competitive world in which we are all being asked to do more with less time and

fewer resources, it only makes sense to find ways to work more efficiently and to take

advantage of our innate styles of learning.
