As part of our efforts to future-proof our institutions, the school leaders of Don Bosco Technical Institute – Tarlac and Don Bosco Academy – Bacolor attended a three-day intensive training on April 8, 15, and 22, 2024.
This first phase of strengthening our curriculum capabilities centered on planning and designing with Dr. Amelia Fajardo, an Associate Professor from the Curriculum Studies Area of the College of Education, University of the Philippines – Diliman.
Toward responsive and effective curriculum supervision, the training aimed to generate improvement in the academic management system and to administer a more effective and efficient program implementation.
Dr. Fajardo emphasized the importance of systematic implementation of the curriculum, school policies, and practices in ensuring the effectiveness of educational settings and in meeting the expected standards for quality education.
Meanwhile, Fr. Daniel R. Gonzales, SDB, the Deputy Principal for Academic Affairs of DBTI – Tarlac, highlighted that the training is an investment with the goal of equipping school heads with the necessary skills in curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation under the careful guidance of an expert, referring to Dr. Fajardo.
The said training addresses one of the recommendations of the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU) and serves as preparation for the implementation of the MATATAG Curriculum.
