Innovations in Education:

A ROADMAP TO THE
PHILIPPINES FUTURE
(Moving beyond best practice)




You are driving along in
your car on a wild, stormy
night, its raining heavily,
when suddenly you pass
by a bus stop, and you
see three people waiting
for a bus:

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

An old lady who looks as if she
is about to die.
An old friend who once saved
your life.
The perfect partner you have
been dreaming about.


You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

Which one would you
choose to offer a ride to,
knowing very well that
there could only be one
passenger in your car?


You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

You could pick up the old
lady, because she is
going to die, and thus you
should save her first;


You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

Or you could take the old
friend because he once
saved your life, and this
would be the perfect chance
to pay him back.
However, you may never be
able to find your perfect
mate again.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

The candidate who was
hired had no trouble
coming up with his
answer. Guess what was
his answer?


You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

He simply answered:
I would give the car keys to
my Old friend and let him
take the lady to the hospital.
I would stay behind and wait
for the bus with the partner
of my dreams.


You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

Sometimes, we gain more if
we are able to give up our
stubborn thought limitations.
Never forget to Think
Outside the Box.

. . That is to innovate

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
We are entering a new age, an age
of knowledge, in which the key
strategic resource necessary for
prosperity has become knowledge
itself educated people, their
ideas and innovation, and their
entrepreneurial spirit.
(Bloch, 1988)
Schools must create
and sustain a highly
educated and
innovative workforce
and the capacity to
generate and apply new
knowledge, supported
through policies and
investments in
developing human
capital, technological
innovation and
entrepreneurial skills.

PROJECT TURN AROUND
Is a special intervention project of
DepEd. It aimed to increase the
performances of schools that scored
low in the NAT. Specifically, it

n. Project APEX
(Applied Academics in Excellence)
APEX is an innovation in teaching and
learning that connects students' learning
to the development goals of the
community. It prepares the youth
academically and technically to pursue
post-secondary education and a career
or enterprise of choice by exposing them
to relevant curriculum, interactive
activities and real life applications.


. APEX views the strategic role of
secondary education in addressing the
emerging technical and entrepreneurial
needs of the community and it helps
foster a spirit of service among
students. APEX truly enables the
students to become real world
learners, local change makers and
significant contributors to the
development of communities
Project APEX
The main project goals are three-fold:
(1) to develop basic workplace and
entrepreneurial competencies of high
school students;
(2) to build strong institutional capacity
for program sustainability in schools;
and
(3) to develop a strong school-
community partnership.
o. Adopt-A-School Program
A school-industry
partnership between the
private sector and the
government in order to
provide all the resources
the public system needs
o Brigada Eskwela
p. BP-OSA (Balik-Paaralan Para
Sa Out-Of-School Adults)

Age need not be a deterring factor for
those who wish to pursue secondary
education. The BP-OSA is a novel
alternative delivery system that
provides our-of-school adults high
school education and assistance on
entrepreneurial and employable skills
for initial job opportunity.

q. Project EASE (Effective and
Affordable Secondary Education)

cannot attend class regularly due to
personal, economic or financial
reasons. It intends to complement the
existing formal system to make
secondary education more accessible

EASE student can enter into a
contract with the school to
study at home for a period of
time until became ready to
return of formal school

THERE IS A
WAY
A blind boy sat on the steps
of a building with a hat by his
feet.

He held up a sign which said:



A man was walking by. He took a
few coins from his pocket and
dropped them into the hat.

There were only a few
coins in the hat.



He then took the sign, turned it
around, and wrote some words.

He put the sign back so that
everyone who walked by will see
the new words.



Soon the hat began to fill up.

A lot more people were giving
money to the blind boy.
The boy recognized his footsteps
and
asked,
Were you the one who changed my
sign
this morning? What did you write?
That afternoon the man who had
changed the sign came to see how
things were.


The man said,

I only wrote the truth.

I said what you said but in a
way.
What he had written was:

"Today is a day
and I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign and
the second sign were saying
the same thing?
Of course both signs told
people the
boy was blind.

But the first sign simply told people
to help by putting some money in
the hat.




The second sign told people that
they were able to enjoy the beauty
of the day, but the boy could not
enjoy it because he was blind.
Should we be surprised
that the second sign was
more effective?
There are at least two
lessons we can learn from this
simple story.

The first is,

Be thankful for what you have.
Someone else has less.
Help where you can.

The second is,

Be .

Be .

Think .

THERE IS ALWAYS A
WAY!


THANK YOU !!!
