Project Title: STARTEACH: Supportive Training & Resourceful Education for Academic

Curriculum, Holistic Programs

Abbreviation: STARTEACH

Project Objective:
STARTEACH is a comprehensive technical assistance program designed to provide newly hired
teachers with the support they need to excel in curriculum development, special curricular
programs integration, learning resource management, and assessment of learning. The project
aims to equip teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to deliver high-quality
education and promote holistic student development.

Key Components:

1. Curriculum Development Workshops (CDW):

 Interactive workshops focusing on curriculum development principles, strategies,
and alignment with educational standards.
 Special sessions dedicated to integrating special curricular programs into the
curriculum to cater to diverse student needs and interests.
2. Holistic Program Integration Sessions (HPIS):
 Sessions providing guidance on integrating special curricular programs, such as
arts education, STEM initiatives, and character education, into the curriculum.
 Workshops on creating inclusive learning environments that support the holistic
development of students.
3. Resource Management Seminars (RMS):
 Seminars offering practical strategies for managing learning resources effectively,
including digital tools, textbooks, and supplementary materials.
 Training on utilizing technology to enhance resource accessibility, organization,
and utilization in the classroom.
4. Assessment Best Practices Workshops (ABPW):
 Workshops focusing on best practices in assessment, including formative
assessments, summative assessments, and performance-based assessments.
 Discussions on using assessment data to inform instruction and support student
learning and growth.

Implementation Strategy:

 STARTEACH Launch Summit: Kick off the project with a summit featuring keynote
speakers, panel discussions, and breakout sessions on curriculum, program integration,
resource management, and assessment.
 CDW Curriculum Labs: Conduct hands-on labs where teachers collaborate on
curriculum development projects, share ideas, and receive feedback from experienced
mentors.
  HPIS Program Integration Workshops: Host workshops where teachers explore
innovative ways to integrate special curricular programs into the curriculum and promote
holistic student development.
 RMS Resource Expo: Organize a resource expo where teachers can explore a variety of
learning materials, digital tools, and educational resources to enhance their teaching
practices.
 ABPW Assessment Symposium: Host a symposium where teachers share best practices
in assessment, engage in discussions, and participate in professional development
sessions.

Evaluation Metrics:

 Participation rates and feedback from teachers attending CDW, HPIS, RMS, ABPW
sessions, and events.
 Pre- and post-program assessments measuring teachers' proficiency and confidence in
curriculum development, program integration, resource management, and assessment
practices.
 Analysis of student performance data to evaluate the impact of STARTEACH-supported
teaching practices on academic achievement, student engagement, and overall learning
outcomes.

Through STARTEACH, we aim to provide newly hired teachers with the support and resources
they need to thrive in their roles and make a positive impact on student learning and
development.

INNOVATE (Integrating Novel Strategies for Newly Hired Teachers' Advancement in Teaching
Excellence) is a specialized technical assistance program aimed at supporting newly hired
teachers in effectively managing curriculum development, integrating special curricular
programs, optimizing learning resource management, and implementing robust assessment
strategies. The project seeks to foster innovation and excellence in teaching practices to enhance
student learning outcomes.

Key Components:

1. Curriculum Enhancement Labs (CEL):

 Hands-on labs focused on enhancing curriculum development skills, aligning with
educational standards, and incorporating innovative teaching methods.
 Specialized sessions dedicated to integrating special curricular programs
seamlessly into the curriculum framework.
2. Resource Optimization Workshops (ROW):
 Workshops providing practical strategies for managing learning resources
effectively, including digital tools, textbooks, and supplementary materials.
 Training sessions on utilizing technology to enhance resource accessibility,
organization, and utilization in the classroom.
 3. Assessment Innovation Sessions (AIS):
 Sessions focusing on fostering innovation in assessment practices, including
formative assessments, summative assessments, and performance-based
assessments.
 Discussions on leveraging assessment data to inform instruction, support student
learning, and promote continuous improvement.

Implementation Strategy:

 INNOVATE Launch Symposium: Kick off the project with a symposium featuring
keynote speakers, expert panels, and interactive workshops on curriculum enhancement,
resource optimization, and assessment innovation.
 CEL Curriculum Workshops: Conduct workshops where teachers collaborate on
curriculum development projects, experiment with innovative teaching methods, and
receive feedback from experienced mentors.
 ROW Resource Management Seminars: Host seminars where teachers learn about
effective resource management techniques, explore new learning resources, and share
best practices.
 AIS Assessment Workgroups: Facilitate workgroups where teachers brainstorm
innovative assessment strategies, analyze assessment data, and develop action plans for
improvement.

Evaluation Metrics:

 Participation rates and feedback from teachers attending CEL, ROW, AIS sessions, and
events.
 Pre- and post-program assessments measuring teachers' proficiency and confidence in
curriculum development, resource management, and assessment practices.
 Analysis of student performance data to evaluate the impact of INNOVATE-supported
teaching practices on academic achievement, student engagement, and overall learning
outcomes.

Through INNOVATE, we aim to empower newly hired teachers with innovative strategies and
resources to excel in curriculum development, resource management, and assessment practices,
ultimately enhancing the quality of education and student learning experiences.
