BAGUIO CITY SCHOOL LEADERS DEEPEN DATA-DRIVEN SKILLS IN GO AND LEAD TRAINING
From April 24 to 26, 2024, 67 school leaders from Baguio City’s public elementary and secondary schools immersed themselves in a comprehensive training module titled “Leading Strategically and Data-Driven Management.”
This training, the second of five modules in the GO and LEAD (Generate Opportunities & Lead in Education to Accelerate Development) Program, was funded by the Australian government, managed by Philippine Business for Education (PBED), and implemented by National Teachers College (NTC).
The second module aimed to equip participants with essential tools and processes in data analytics to enhance various facets of school management, including instruction, ICT integration, quality assurance, and research. Moreover, it underscored the pivotal role of data-driven decision-making in fostering communities of practice and analyzing transformative schools.
Day one commenced with enlightening sessions led by notable speakers. Joana Chen Delano, CEO of ESKWELABS, delved into the significance of data, while Dr. Edizon A. Fermin, vice president for academic affairs at the National Teachers College (NTC), explored the integration of numbers and narratives in leadership. The day concluded with a workshop focused on crafting critical data visual narratives, essential for effective communication and decision-making.
On day two, the focus shifted to data sensing and analysis in education, led by Mary Ann Barcelona, head of APEC’s Instructional Design and Development Team. Participants learned practical strategies to extract valuable insights from datasets, enabling informed decision-making and strategic planning.
The final day centered on designing data-driven intervention plans. Paolo Josef Blando, NTC’s program and partnership development officer, guided the participants in utilizing street data as basis in planning a multi-tiered system of support or actionable strategies to address challenges and drive positive change within their schools.
This is the 2nd of the five-module course where the participants are expected to finish including the activities in their LinkedIn account. Moreover, SDO Baguio has enrolled these modules for CPD units in the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC).
