RCTQ assists PNU in refining professional development programs for DepEd teachers, school leaders
RCTQ helped in refining graduate programs offered under the Linking Standards and Quality Practice Program (LiSQuP) of the Philippine Normal University (PNU) by giving in-depth discussions on the expectations in the three sets of professional standards, and the Curriculum Quality Audit (CQA) process to the PNU academic faculty.
During the PNU Academic Summit that culminated on 2 September 2021, RCTQ Director Dr. Gina Gonong presented the expectations of and implications for career stage 3 of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) and the Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS), which is the target exit career stage for LiSQuP scholars. She talked about how this career stage focuses on high-quality teaching/leadership practices, as well as mentoring, at a session designed for LiSQuP Adjustment, Refinement and Calibration (ARC).
LiSQuP is a three-yar partnership between PNU and the Department of Education (DepEd) that offers professional development courses anchored on the three sets of professional standards that RCTQ helped develop. The program officially opened and welcomed its first batch of students on 3 September 2021.
Dr. Gonong was joined by Senior Project Officer Ms. Ma. Izella Lampos and Project Officer Ms. Lizette Carpio who talked about formative curriculum refinement including mapping of all curriculum imperatives through the CQA.
LiSQuP seeks to deliver professional development programs through academic courses and specialized and focused training to 2,820 DepEd teachers and school leaders nationwide. The program consists of academic course work, job-embedded learning (JEL) activities and practice, and specialized and focused training, and will be delivered through the PNU’s flexible learning delivery (FLD). LiSQuP scholars, screened by DepEd, are given options to pursue any of PNU’s 12 master’s programs, eight (8) doctorate programs, and two (2) executive programs. LiSQuP will commence with its first batch of scholars in September 2021.
RCTQ is assisting PNU in ensuring quality assurance on the alignment of LiSQuP courses with professional standards. RCTQ’s work is aligned with its role identified in DepEd Order No. 11, s. 2019 or the Implementation of the NEAP Transformation, which named the Center as the provider of technical assistance.
