By Dr. Jonas H. Jomonong
BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 16 (PIA) - Around 395 school
heads of Department of Education (DepEd) Caraga converged together for the 2016
School Heads Development Program: Foundation Course at Amontay Beach Resort,
Nasipit in Agusan del Norte on November 7-13, 2016 for module 1.
The said training was divided into three modules
which include: The School Head as Instructional Leader for module 1; The School
Head as Organizational Leader for module 2; and The School Head as Exemplar for
module 3. These modules are anchored on
the National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads (NCBSSH).
The core principle of this NCBSSH states that
school heads are competent, committed and accountable in providing access to
quality and relevant education for all through transformational leadership and
high degree of professionalism. It
contains seven domains that will guide all school heads in their crucial role
in attaining the vision and mission of the department.
Domain 1 is on school leadership, instructional
leadership for domain 2, creating a student centered learning climate for
domain 3, HR management and professional development for domain 4, parent
involvement and community partnership for domain 5, school management and daily
operations for domain 6 and personal and professional attributes and
interpersonal effectiveness for domain 7.
Modules 1 (Nov. 7-13) and 2 (Dec. 5-11) will run
for six days while module 3 (Jan. 9-15) for seven days. The said course will run for 19 days with
two-week interval to be allotted to the application of competencies learned.
On the other hand, the participants were divided
into different classes in which other groups where housed at Goat2geder Hotel
in the city. The Regional NEAP-trained facilitators took the challenge in
spearheading each session topics employing the carousel strategy in which each
facilitator is given the chance to handle every class with his or her assigned
session topics.
Dr. Isidro M. Biol, Jr., regional CLMD chief
emphasized in his message that the world today keeps on changing and yet the
schools are not. "You as 21st century school heads play a crucial role in
transforming our schools into a 21st century schools that could compete
globally and digitally, embrace the culture of excellence for the learners' holistic
development and be better and more productive citizens of the country to take a
vital part for nation-building," he said. (DepEd Butuan City/PIA-Agusan
