SPEAK your mind...TEACH people...TOUCH lives...
A couple of weeks ago, I was informed by a colleague that the principal, together with the department heads, OIC’s and the subject supervisors from the division office, will be conducting observations to classes anytime every month. This, I suppose, is a response to the National Achievement Test (NAT) results for the previous school year wherein the Division of Makati slid down from No. 1 allover National Capital Region in the previous school years to No. 6 last year. As a result, this matter became a never-ending subject of colloquies and “intelligent discussions,” not only by my roommates in the faculty room, but almost all teachers everywhere in the school.
One of my colleagues said that this is absurd, which the rest of the group and I agreed. Knowing Makati Science High School as a hub of academic excellence in the whole region, teachers employed in this institution had undergone rigid screening (from examinations to interviews to demonstration teachings). I, personally, should have not been assigned to this school if I was not able to pass all the standards set by the Division Office. So, why do the still doubt the capability and ability of every teacher in attaining the goals set every year? Will such action help raise the results of this school year’s NAT? Will such action provide better learning of the students who will undergo the rigorous examination? Will an action done every month guarantee the whole Division of Makati to snatch back the title of being the best in the NCR?
If they really want a better result of the next National Achievement Test, why don’t they think of some other ways, more effective ways so that each student and teacher will be motivated even more in doing his part?
