What standards should be met in order to be considered as a BEST school?
What are the factors that makes a school a good one?
In my observation in St. Paul-Pasig, I discovered that in order for a school to be acknowledge as the best school the following should matter to them foremost:
Benchmark of
learning - Every school should be a place where students learn most. It is where
they discover their gifts and acquire skills that they need as they face the
present and prepare for the future. There should be a well facilitated environment
and an atmosphere where respect and love for one another is of primary
importance. They are not just doing business but are busy of influencing the
lives entrusted to them. They should be a vast opportunity available to students in order for them to discover what their gifts are and be able to enhance those.
Efficient and effective teachers - No matter how well
facilitated the school is if the teachers are not capable of transmitting
excellent learning to the students that would still be considered as a failure to the school. An efficient and effective teacher is a must for a school to be considered
best for they are the ones who think outside the box and are able to motivate
their students to become the best of what they can be. They are good managers
of classrooms and a good communicator of knowledge, they keep on learning but
acknowledges that their is no monopoly of learning since they recognize their
students are capable of discovering things for themselves. Indeed, The teacher
is a great factor in order to become the best school.
Student-centered - There is
no better place to be considered best when you know you are the most important
and your needs are the priority to be addressed. Same for a school that has no
greater desire than to recognize what is the need of the students and are in
the business of making better lives.
Technology (up to date) - Technology is a
great tool in order to achieve excellence in learning, with all the inventions
made today they are very helpful in reaching the student's need including
wants. The school should recognize that they cannot do it alone without the
help of what is IN today which technology is a big one. They should not be after to the Department of Education's standard but they have to consider that this is one of the essential factor for the
enrollees since they are all aware and looking for something that they like
that could motivate them to learn.
To be considered as the BEST School is just the reward of being in the business of transforming lives. Every school would like to be recognize as one but not all are ready for the responsibility behind it.
