HW9:Teachers, are you ready??

From the website of Department of Education (DepEd) they posted an article last February 13, 2012 entitled as DepEd prepares teachers for K to 12. In this article, DepEd ensures that before the implementation of the program that teachers are ready for the program. The DepEd conducted the Test of English Proficiency for Teachers (TEPT) and Process Skills Test (PST) in Science and Mathematics to all public teachers of Grades 1 and 2 nationwide. Those tests are part of DepEd’s assessment whether the teachers of public school have the capability to teach the new curriculum of the k to 12 program.

The result will be the basis on what kind of training was introduced last summer to prepare the teachers. Teachers from NCR, CaLaVaRZon, MIMAROPA, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Regions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12, CARAGA, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, Central Luzaon, CAR and ARMM took the TEPT and PST test.

The DepEd did the right thing that they should assess their teachers before they implement the k to 12 program. And they gave training to prepare the teacher for the program. This is a good idea by the DepEd because it will ensure that their teachers is ready or not for the program. Teachers are ready for the program, do the students are ready for the program?
