Vision: By 2050, all
Filipino children will have
access to an excellent and
relevant education.
Mission: We identify,
develop, and support a
community of leaders
working to end
educational inequity.
Teach for the
Philippines is a for-purpose, non-stock, non-
profit organization that works to
provide all Filipino children with an
inclusive, relevant, and excellent
education. We enlist some of the
country’s most promising young
leaders to teach for two years in
public schools throughout the
Philippines. Through their
experiences in the classroom,
Teach for the Philippines
transforms these leaders into
lifelong advocates for educational
equity.
Teach for the Philippines is an
official network partner of Teach
for All, a progressive global
network of social enterprises
creating momentum for change
and enabling quality education for
all. Our most prominent partners
include Teach For America and
Teach First in the United
Kingdom. In the region, our
partners include Teach For
Malaysia, Teach For China, Teach
For Japan, Teach For India, Teach
For Pakistan, Teach For Nepal,
Teach for Thailand, Teach For
Australia and Teach For
Bangladesh.
Teach for the Philippines believes
our Teacher Fellows and Staff
have the commitment and grit
necessary to build on the
initiatives already begun in the
classrooms and to help transform
the lives of their students. In a
meaningful collaboration with the
Department of Education, we aim
to develop the country’s future
leaders.
learning process, even outside the classroom.
Our Teacher Fellows also go on “home visits”
to interact with the community, making sure
that the parents and community are partners in
the development of every student.
Create Opportunities for Partnership, a
Platform to Engage all Filipinos
Through our Civic Engagement Program we
collaborate with private corporations and
individuals to bring volunteerism to public
schools through Brigada Eskwela and
“Renovate to Educate” builds. Teach for the
Philippines also invites speakers into the
classroom to expose students to various fields
and interests. When schedules permit, Teach
for the Philippines brings students on learning
excursions to world-class educational and
professional facilities to broaden their minds.
Complete the Education Package
Sustainable change happens when
communities and external organizations come
together to solve challenges by exchanging
innovative ideas. Many are responsible for the
foundation of a progressive and excellent
education: well constructed infrastructure and
the accompanying hardware. Teach for the
Philippines believes in completing the package
by providing the software, our Teacher
Fellows, to support and enhance the work that
is ongoing in the classrooms.
Employ High-Achieving Leaders As Teachers
Teach for the Philippines takes some of the
most promising of each year’s graduating
class and pool of young professionals – those
who are compelled to service but who
otherwise might not have considered teaching
in a public school. They are put through a
rigorous selection process that tests their
leadership abilities, their commitment, and
their grit ensuring that they can commit to this
significant role. They receive intensive training
in our Summer Institute, following modules in
Teaching as Leadership, literacy and reading
strategies, and curriculum content. The kind of
Teacher Fellows we pick and the Alumni we
ultimately produce are highly sensitive to the
cultural landscape; eager to share their
knowledge; thoughtful and self-reflective;
optimistic in their outlook and have a bias for
action.
Add to the Diversity in School Communities
The presence of our Teacher Fellows in public
school classrooms represents a considerable
gain to communities. Teacher Fellows diversify
the field of public school instruction and
thereby help their students engage beyond
the environment with which they are familiar.
Engage Communities and Accelerate Progress
Our Teacher Fellows are invested in their
pupils and the contexts from which they hail.
They are taught how to involve their pupils’
families in training. We believe that teachers
work best when they enjoin parents in the
A Dedication to Nation-Building:
Teach for the Philippines’ most valuable assets are our Teacher Fellows
whom we recruit under the Fellowship Program. Through official
partnerships with Local Government Units, the Department of Education
and all our Champions, we are able to:
Teach for the Philippines maintains a Memorandum of Agreement with the central office of the Department of Education (DepEd) and signs tri-partite agreements with local government units and regional DepEd offices for each of its partner cities
Teach for the Philippines traces
its roots to the former Sa Aklat
Sisikat Foundation (SAS), which
advocated for functional literacy,
training and professional
development of teachers and
school administrators. Started in
1999, SAS collaborated with the
Department of Education to train
over 25,000 public school
teachers and administrators; and
had a positive impact on the
reading skills of over one million
Filipino children. With a vision to
broaden its participation in
education reform, Elizabeth Zobel
de Ayala, Margarita Liboro
Delgado, and Clarissa Isabelle
Delgado founded. Teach for the
Philippines in August 2012. With
15 years of experience working in
the country’s public schools, we
are one of the longest-standing
partners of the Department of
Education.
Our Story
With a fast-growing team of
individuals, driven by a common
passion for expanding
educational access, Teach for the
Philippines looks forward to
leaving our mark on the country.
Our Future Plans Teach for the Philippines is
developing a long-term framework
with professors associated with the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology Abdul Latif Jameel
Poverty Action Lab (MIT-JPAL) to
evaluate the impact of the program
on an extended timeline. We are
working with the MIT-JPAL to
measure the effectiveness of the
different elements of the program.
These elements include the impact of
Teacher Fellows on students’
academic achievement and the
learning community, as well as the
impact that our alumni have in
education reform among other
variables.
Inside the classroom, Teach for the
Philippines measures Teacher Fellow
impact on students’ academic
achievement in multiple ways: the
National Achievement Test (NAT)
scores, the Philippine Informal
Reading Inventory (PHIL IRI) scores,
dropout rates, completion rates and
transition rates of students.
We expect that our Teacher Fellows
will enable more students to
graduate successfully from
elementary school and onto further
education with the skills stated in the
Basic Education Sector Reform
Agenda of the Department of
Education. Eventually, we also aim to
measure the impact of our Teacher
Fellows on our students’ trajectories.
Project Evaluation Teach for the Philippines commits to
keeping education at the top of the
national agenda and restoring
prestige to the teaching profession.
This year, we’ve begun to explore
partnerships with several local
government units in and around
Metro Manila.
As we grow, we continue to improve
our training and professional
development: we begin in the
classroom, continue with a 24-month
training program, and then graduate
our Fellows onto alumni pathways.
Teacher Fellows hail from diverse
backgrounds: Math, Psychology,
Economics, Education, Social
Sciences, Engineering and Literature
to name a few. Currently, the 2013
Teacher Fellows are one year into
their commitment and will be
graduating into our Alumni program
in March 2015. Teach for the
Philippines' Alumni are high-energy
young professionals who now not
only have impressive resumes, but
also have real-time experience on the
ground -- succeeding despite
challenges and achieving against the
odds. We are excited to roll out our
Alumni Mentorship Program this
coming school year.
