High Level Goals

• Long term goals (3-5 years)– Overall goal: Nurture and sustain a pool of world-class scientific talents

• Improve the quality of science projects by building the capability of schools to nurture the culture of science research

• Enable students to build on and continue science research done by previous students

• Support research projects with potential for commercial applications, and/or contribution to the growth of knowledge

• Short term goals (1-2 years)• Formalize collaboration between the Department of Education, the Department of

Science and Technology (and other relevant parties) on an Integrated Science and Math Education Plan

• Identify, document and scale up best practices in science research in high school. In particular, by starting a process where successful schools/universities can mentor other schools in their area (twinning then clustering)

• For the Philippine Science High School System, synchronize campus fairs’ schedules to be able to get more students to compete for place in Intel ISEF

• Develop an Intel Philippine Science Fair website as an online resource, e.g. for a databank of mentors/experts, support institutions and documented best practices

• Ensure the improvement of quality assurance system for science projects• Establish a tracking system including indicators with respect to the overall goal

Desired Results

• Quality of projects improved – zero disqualifications at the national-level review

• Quantity of science research • Schedule of science fairs synchronized or

adjusted to meet Intel ISEF timeline• Integrated Science and Math Education Plan

adopted at the national level• Culture of science research adopted – number of

schools able to engage students in science research

• Best practices shared and scaled up in regions

Reflection - To be done…• As a result of your participation in the 2011 Educator Academy, reflect on your

experience

– Highlight what your team felt was the key learning from the Educator Academy

• Taiwan, California shop talks most impressive and beneficial, particularly on support from government and advocacy

• Franchetti’s presentation

• Nobel laureate’s talk

• Thematic organization of the sessions was good

• Shop talk by Lois Fruen, Bill Rigney

• Presentation by the ISEF Chief Judge, Robert Yost

• Having a central theme around which the Academy discussions

– Which Shop Talks were the most beneficial for your team?

• What would you improve?

– What types of Shop Talks were missing?

• Shop talks focusing on how to engage stakeholders like local government units and industry in the promotion of science research in schools

• Developing scientific thinking in all aspects of life, not just confined to researchers and scientists
