Two Sagunto Teachers Pass Evaluation
Jeanette on Aug 5th 2008
Two Sagunto teachers, Carmela Baiguen Dagacan and Rhodora Espina, passed the rigorous Educators Skills Assessment and Evaluation Program administered on April 20, 2008. Congratulations, Carmela and Rhodora!
The evaluation which was recently implemented among Sison’s teachers, was again spearheaded by the team of Congressman Mark O. Cojuangco and Mayor Kimi Cojuangco. Concerned over the “alarming degradation and deterioration of Philippine education despite the reforms set by the Department of Education (DepEd) for both the elementary and secondary schools”, they sought to improve the quality of teachers in Sison with this assessment which was administered by University of the Philippines professors, lead by Dr. Leticia Penano. The main objective of the test is “to determine the teaching skills of local teachers, identify their level of competency and performance, as well as to find out their weaknesses and strengths.”
Carmela who has a permanent status on the local school board and would not have been affected by the results anyway as with other teachers on permanent status. However, she proved her position to be well earned and deserved by placing 14th among the examinees, a feat that could not be said of other ‘permanent’ teachers.
Rhodora Espina, who was only on the local school board for a year, was immediately promoted to permanent status due to her excellent placement (16th) on the assessment test. It is said that she even surpassed other, more experienced teachers who would have been promoted to permanency first had it not been for this assessment. 47 local teachers were dismissed as a result of poor test results.
