"Strengthening the Senior High School TVL Track Teachers through Trainers Methodology Level I" A program designed to enhance the skills and competencies of teachers in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track of the K to 12 Senior High School curriculum.
This initiative is crucial because TVL teachers are responsible for preparing students with practical, industry-relevant skills for immediate employment, entrepreneurship, or further technical education.
· Objective: The primary goal is to ensure that TVL teachers are equipped with the latest knowledge, skills, and attitudes in their specific fields of specialization. This includes aligning their teaching methods with industry standards and the requirements of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
· Key Components: The training often includes a "Trainers Methodology" program, particularly Trainers Methodology Level I (TM I). This program focuses on a range of competencies, such as:
o Planning training sessions.
o Facilitating learning sessions.
o Supervising work-based training
o Maintaining training facilities
o Utilizing electronic media in facilitating session
o Conducting Competency Assessments
· Partnerships: These training programs are often a collaborative effort between the Department of Education (DepEd) and TESDA. This partnership is vital to ensure that the education provided in schools is directly aligned with the needs of the job market and leads to recognized certifications like the TESDA National Certificate (NC).
· Impact: By strengthening the skills of TVL teachers, the program aims to improve the overall quality of TVL education. This, in turn, helps to increase the number of Senior High School TVL graduates who are able to pass their TESDA National Certification assessments and, ultimately, become more employable.
