Continuous improvement is important to learners

DepEd Philippines never sleeps in addressing the challenge in giving quality education to Filipino learners especially in the midst of this COVID 19 pandemic. Every educator is reminded that we have Continuous Improvement (CI) to help us address the needs of learners in their respective class.

CI is a methodology to continuously assess, analyze, and act on the performance improvement of key process, focusing on both stakeholder / learners needs and the desired performance. This activity provides guidance in managing school-based research initiatives in giving technical assistance to CI advocates, research enthusiasts and to the project owners. It also highlights CI activities, outputs and outstanding accomplishments of the teacher-mentees.

For instance, the concerned teacher found out that his or her learners have a reading comprehension difficulty, this CI project guided by the CI Team members will  just have to go through the CI process in order for agreed mechanisms will be in place until that reading comprehension difficulty is addressed through giving them appropriate reading materials.

Step by step regular meeting schedules will make CI useful to the recipient learners. Yes this is an implementation of class-based activity until appropriate interventions of the identified priority improvement areas. Definitely, we implement the plan formulated based on the data gathered, visualize and walk through the process.

CI is interestingly aggressive for it demands immediate output at the end of the project. Indeed CI is helpful and will surely solve the academic needs of learners even in the absence of face to face.
