TEACHERS GOT TALENT

We've been hearing that thousands of experienced Filipino teachers leaving the country to work abroad because of poor working conditions, a dim chance of career advancement, low salaries, too much work.  Hence, a generation of school children is left behind hungry for quality education.  On the other hand, children who belong to well-to-do families are getting bored in class.  Thanks to their exposure to the sounds and vivid graphics of today's video games and TV shows.

What can we do to address both problems?  Well what about having a nationwide search for the best teachers in the country just like Pilipinas Got Talent or Talentadong Pinoy?  Students from all over the country can join by submitting a 30 to 45-minute video of their favorite teacher as he/she conducts his/her classes.  All videos submitted will be evaluated by a committee composed of educators from DEPED, professors of top universities in the country, and entertainers.   The number of winners will depend on how many subjects are being taught in school.  Top ten teachers will be selected for each subject. The ten finalists per subject will be in a reality TV show compelling teachers to showcase their best.  Criteria for selection will include:  student impact (teachers should be able to get students attention and make them learn a given subject); enthusiasm in teaching; content; delivery of teaching material among others.  The committee will select a winner for each subject.  The winning teachers will be professionally videotaped for a year in their actual classrooms while they are teaching. To make it more interesting for pre-schoolers or grade school students, professional video game creators, graphic artists will be tasked to make the videos into DVDs and incorporate sounds and visual effects which will make everything more interesting for our target market.  The final result will be a collection of DVDs with all the subjects taught in a more interesting and innovative way. 

So, the next time a school will lack teachers, DEPED will make sure that TV sets are available for the school children to learn their lessons using the DVDs.  4
