Level of Performance of Public Secondary English Teachers in Area III, Division of Batangas: Basis for Proposed Training Program

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

According to Labrador, quality education spells quality teachers, therefore, quality learners. The quality of education is the central theme in the educational system. Teacher development is a process, not an event. It means comprehensive growth and support. There also needs to be a linkage with other teachers and supervisors to help solve problems and to support each other through discussion, modeling, coaching, and involvement with other aspects of school and educational change.

METHODS

To evaluate critically the validity andreliability, the researcher used questionnaires and descriptive method to arrive with the needed analysis and interpretations of collected data.

RESULTS

The study shows that most of the secondary English teachers were educationally qualified and more competitive in performing their duties and responsibility. There is a perceived status of a higher level of performance in planning, instruction, classroom management, human relation, and evaluation. It also established that classroom management strategies were an important aspect of educational planning and are recommended for inclusion in an in-service training program. Furthermore, the training program can be proposed to enhance the level of performance that contributes to establishing meaningful and productive professional growth.

DISCUSSIONS

The study provided the proposed training program to enhance the level of performance of teachers. The quality of education is increasingly judged by focusing on student performance, what students learned, and how well they learned it. A good school should offer facilities for retraining teachers and good salaries at par with related spheres. A school should also be managed by a dynamic principal and competent human teachers. Thus, successful teachers create successful students.
