Teachers On the Move!

When we have visitors we prepare a lot for them; food, beddings, list of places where they will enjoy their stay, etc. This is only because as a host we want to impress them. Thus, we are giving them the best of the best.

This situation is not so far from the teaching profession. As teachers we also want our pupils to receive the best education. Hence, administrators prepare seminars and workshops for the enhancement of teachers’ knowledge and invigorate the minds for the benefit of their clients: the young minds.

A week before the formal opening of classes teachers in every school attend different seminars that lead them to better understanding of their roles and duties to cater the holistic formation of the children. So hand in hand, all the people working in an institution will be of great help in their own little ways to assist both parents and children towards edification.

The main role of educators is to groom the youngster to real world with enough knowledge to understand the perplexed world and win over trials ahead without loosing values. But we should not overlook the important role of parents which is to follow-up and supervise their children at home and outside the premises of the school and at the same time the perseverance and self-discipline of the children to reach the goal.

Happy Mother's Day!

I don’t have pupils without their parents especially their mothers who unconditionally love these children. For all the mommies who support their children to gain knowledge from school and help develop their talents, these short messages are dedicated to you: A mom is God’s love in action She looks with her heart, And feels with her eyes. A mom is the bank Where her children deposit All their worries and hurt. A mom is the cement That keeps her family together And her love lasts a lifetime. Great mothers smile in trouble, gather strength from stress, and grow brave by reflection and prayers. Motherhood is a tough 24-hour job: No pay, no day-off Most often unappreciated And yet resignation is impossible. Your existence gives hope to one person. Your smile maybe a pearl for someone. Your presence might be the desire of the one who loves you. Blessings are plenty for people like you who live with love, kindness and thoughtfulness…

POOR BOY FROM CAGAYAN MAKES IT BIG IN SILICON VALLEY

How can the Philippines leapfrog from being an exporter of labor, garments and bananas into a technology powerhouse that can outshine India as exporter of innovative new products and software? When will Philippine economic news shift from the usual foreign loans, new taxes, and high budget deficit to technological breakthroughs and the export world-class products? A former poor boy from Cagayan province and now a Filipino technology tycoon in Silicon Valley recently granted us an exclusive interview in his Tallwood Venture Capital office building beside Wells Fargo Bank and near Stanford University. In 1997, Philippine-born Diosdado "Dado" Banatao was honored with the prestigious "Master Entrepreneur of the Year" award sponsored by the Ernst & Young global accounting giant, Inc. magazine and Merrill Lynch. Every year, Banatao funds Filipino-American scholars studying engineering or science courses in top schools all over the US. He also funds a speci...

Styles of Education Reform

Many educators became interested in a wave of new education theories that offered new insights into the way students learn and retain knowledge. Some of these theories, including constructivism and multiple intelligence theory, continue to grow in popularity today. Yet the application of these new theories have not always gone so smoothly: as we shall later see in the debates over whole language and whole math, the enthusiastic rush to apply new theory into practice has not always met with the best results. Professionals, schools and teachers are asserting more control over education management decisions. Non-profit charter schools and for-profit education management organizations offer students public school learning environments that break away from the traditional state-run system. Through school choice, parents can choose to take their students out of poorly run schools and place them into other institutions - including parochial schools in some cases. And an increasing number of f...
