Introduction and Apologies for Registration Issues
The speaker, Menegildo de la Rosa, opens the program "La Voz del Sen" on La Voz Docente Media, encouraging viewers to subscribe and enable notifications. The episode focuses on the latest resolutions from the National Executive Committee regarding the performance evaluation process and agreements with the Ministry of Education. An apology is issued for the significant difficulties many teachers have faced while trying to register and evaluate their positions, attributing these issues to systemic problems within the Ministry of Education.
Addressing Specific Cases and Systemic Issues
The speaker highlights specific cases causing registration problems, such as teachers designated to private schools without codes, issues with special education schools, and discrepancies in the system regarding directors and administrative roles. The Ministry of Education is criticized for creating administrative positions and then penalizing teachers assigned to those roles. The ADP has requested the Ministry of Education to keep all stages of the registration open to resolve these issues, ensuring every teacher can register, evaluate their position, and complete the self-evaluation stage without interrupting the schedule.
ADP's Stance on Teacher Evaluation and Induction
The ADP has decided, in agreement with the Ministry of Education, that no teacher with more than one year of experience should be excluded from the evaluation process. The speaker argues that neither the law nor the teaching statute requires induction for evaluation. The ADP views the mandatory induction as a business opportunity for private universities and clarifies that the probationary year is the time a designated teacher spends teaching in a school, during which they should receive guidance from experienced teachers.
Call to Action for Sessional Presidents and Platform Registration
Sessional presidents are urged to identify teachers with over a year of experience who are not registered on the platform, with or without induction, to ensure they are included. The ADP insists that all eligible teachers must be registered on the platform to participate in the performance evaluation process, emphasizing the need to respect the teaching career.
Demanding Support Systems and Resolving Technical Issues
The ADP has requested the Ministry of Education to establish support desks in all 124 school districts and 18 regional offices to assist teachers with registration, especially those with limited technology skills. These desks are also needed to clarify issues such as discrepancies in superior roles and administrative assignments. The goal is to register the remaining 6,000 teachers within a week.
Progress and Remaining Steps in the Evaluation Process
Approximately 114,000 teachers have registered and evaluated their positions, leaving 6,000-7,000 teachers needing to complete the second stage to proceed to self-evaluation. The ADP aims to enable teachers to complete registration and position evaluation at the same technical desk to facilitate continuous progress. The speaker outlines the subsequent stages of the evaluation process, including self-evaluation, evaluation by supervisors and peers, evaluation by immediate superiors, and classroom observation and planning.
Addressing Specific Roles and Future Instructions
The ADP has raised the issue of the evaluation criteria for counselors, psychologists, librarians, directors, and pedagogical coordinators, including the distribution of scores. Solutions are in progress, and further instructions will be provided to the base regarding upcoming stages and the structure of evaluation instruments.
Recognition of Efforts and Encouragement for Completion
The speaker acknowledges the work of sessional presidents and base units in assisting teachers with registration and resolving position evaluation issues. The ADP celebrates the success of the teaching community in engaging with the evaluation process. The speaker hopes that the remaining teachers will complete the registration and self-evaluation stages before the holiday break.
Available Support and Contact Information
Teachers are reminded of the available support, including phone numbers for the ADP's executive committee and technical support, which are available 24/7. The speaker shares that Vice Minister Fran de Olio has offered a solution for directors with unregistered teachers: submit required data for registration, including date of birth, ID number, work center, and immediate supervisor. This information can be sent to the ADP or the Ministry of Technical Support for immediate assistance.
Final Appeals and Closing Remarks
The speaker urges teachers who have not yet decided to evaluate themselves to do so, emphasizing that it is a legal requirement. He encourages them not to fear evaluation, as it focuses on their performance. The ADP offers guidance and workshops to ensure positive results. He reiterates his phone number and wishes everyone a happy holiday season. He advises teachers to plan their finances wisely with the upcoming bonus payment.
