Department of Education (DepEd) Regional Office 3 is set to recognize Central Luzon’s Best Innovations in Education.
The Search for Best Innovations in Education for Schools Division Office group involves two levels: Elementary and Secondary for Best Innovations in Structure, and Content; and District/Cluster and Division Levels for Best Innovations in Process.
“Evaluation of entries involved two phases: Phase 1 covered evaluation of Entry Write-up, required documents and video clips and shortlisting of nominees based on the selection criteria while Phase 2 consisted of online validation and interview of qualified entries from Phase 1,” DepEd Regional Director May Eclar explained.
The agency tapped the services of an external board of judges in evaluating the entries and in determining the winners of the search.
It is composed of MVYN Builders Inc. owner/CEO Mark Vincent Nodado, University of the Assumption Internationalization and External Relations Director Dexter Balajadia and Angeles University Foundation Graduate School Dean Elvira Balinas.
The awarding ceremony shall serve as highlight of the 2021 Education Innovation Conference (EIC) on September 8.
The theme of this year’s conference, which is also in conjunction with the celebration of National Teachers’ Month, is “Transforming the Conventional Concepts and Practices into Unorthodox Versions in Response to the VUCAD World”.
“VUCAD” stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity, and Diversity.
“As education leaders and curriculum implementers, it is of paramount importance that teachers and school leaders would have the capacity to introduce innovative programs, projects and activities that would ensure the delivery of quality, accessible, responsive, and relevant basic education to all types of learners in diverse learning situations,” Eclar furthered.
“The primordial objective of this activity is to motivate the teachers, school leaders, non-teaching personnel, and other stakeholders to showcase the Best Innovations in Education through their entries in the three search categories namely structure, content, and process,” she added.(
