HW7: A good start will result to a better finished




According to the article by the Department of Education (DepEd) entitled DepEd releases criteria in hiring kinder teachers posted last November 19, 2012 the DepEd requires qualifications in hiring and deployment of kindergarten teachers 

QUALIFICATIONS

DepEd put up a standard on hiring kindergarten teachers. In the DepEd Order 81, s. 2012 you will find the guidelines on hiring and deployment of kindergarten teachers. Under paragraph two, it stated the qualification of kindergarten teacher-applicants, that applicants must be a degree holder at any of the following:

· Bachelor in Early Childhood Education (ECE)
· Bachelor of Science Preschool Education
· Bachelor of Science (BS) in Family Life and Child Development
· Bachelor in Elementary Education with specialization in Preschool or Early Childhood Education
· Bachelor in Elementary Education major in Teaching Early grades.
· Bachelor in Secondary Education which has an additional diploma in ECE and also who take major related courses to at least 18 units in ECE/Child Development including those in Day Care centers.
· Also teacher applicants must passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) and/or Professional Board Examination for Teacher (PBET) and must not be 46 years old and above.

DEPLOYMENT

In deployment of kindergarten teachers, teaching experience in kinder/preschool both in public and private schools shall be considered and shall follow specific:

· The teacher I plantilla position for kindergarten shall be deployed in public elementary schools where there are existing kindergarten classes with a large population of five-year old children.

· The teacher to be deployed must be in the list of the Division’s Registry of Qualified Applicants.

· A kindergarten teacher shall handle two classes per day; one in the morning and on in the afternoon. Each class shall have at least twenty five children who are five years old for a period of at least three hours per session.

· In a school where there is only one kindergarten class, teacher shall handle another class in a nearby school

· Kindergarten teacher shall be entitled to receive the same benefits and other continuing professional development.

Luistro said that we must follow the quality standards in preparing our young learners, which is also teachers must qualify the required standards in competence and qualification.

In this article, we see another progress of k to 12 program which is to have quality teachers in kindergarten. They put up standards in hiring kindergarten teachers. If these standards will be followed right and quality education will be received by the students.

From what I see it is a good idea that they put up standards in hiring kindergarten teachers because those qualified teachers will provide the right education for the students in the kindergarten and also a quality education. Those teachers qualified are specialized to their job. Therefore, they know what to do in teaching and what not to do.

And also, I see that they want a good quality to the beginning of the learning progress of children. I hope that the students, who have a good quality of education in their education, will be carried in the proceeding years of their education.
