3. Intel ISEF 2011 – Educator Academy 3 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

4. Intel ISEF 2011 – Educator Academy 4 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

Intel ISEF 2011 – Educator Academy 7 Intel ISEF Educator Academy 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
