EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The demands of education have consistently grown higher through the years.

This roots from the desire to develop the learners holistically and to equip them with the

necessary knowledge, skills, and values which will be helpful in their participation

especially in the global arena. However, the challenges posed by the 21 st century

education did not dishearten this teacher instead he willingly embraces the trends and

even takes extra miles for his colleagues and students to be one with the world.

Mr. Wilcor C. Tayone, a Teacher III from Monkayo National High School, has

been at the frontline in the institution when it comes to information technology as an ICT

Coordinator. He is closely remembered as an ICT wizard, reflecting all his undertakings

in developing systems for instructional materials, simplification of work, innovations, and

effective teaching technique.

Having handled Visual Basic Programming with the Special Science Class, he

was able to utilize his skills through innovations. In 2017, he developed S.H.A.R.E.

(Strategic Holistic Approach Resources Enhanced), an online program he developed

which he used for his class. It is a 21st Century Self- Pace Learning System of Learners

and an online program made accessible to the students anytime and anywhere. This

courseware proved that the addition of technology into the classroom can really help

transform the classroom experience from a classic teacher-centered into student-

centered instruction where the teacher really serves as a facilitator. With this innovation,

Mr. Tayone was recognized as a Regional Finalist for Best ICT Innovation during the 2 nd

Regional DepEd ICT Summit 2019.

 Along with his innovations, he conducted educational researches to evaluate his

programs and projects. His desire to improve the quality of service he can provide to his

students led him to participate in research caravans. In 2019, he was awarded the 2 nd

place in Poster Display during the Regional Research Forum. In the same year, he also

garnered the 1st place as a coach for Technolympics Division Level. He was also

awarded as a 1st Runner-Up Best ICT Innovation for Teaching and Learning in the

Division Level.

He mentored his student who won 2 nd place in Webpage Designing in 2017. In

2016 and 2017, he made a back-to-back win in his research endeavor: 3 rd place for best

Research Poster Presentation and 2nd place for best Research Oral Presenter,

respectively. He also mentored his students in Tarpaulin Designing and Photoshop

Layout who both garnered 2nd place in 2016 and 2011, respectively.

Through the years, his accomplishments speak for his dedication, commitment,

and capability as a teacher. He is a Microsoft Education Ambassador in Mindanao, he is

a member of GURO 21 (Gearing Up Responsible Outstanding Teacher in Southeast

Asia, was awarded as Teacher of the Year, a delegate of National Innovator, has

attended an International Seminar, and he is a Division Learning Resource Evaluator.

He extended his scope of service to Monkayo National High School when he

launched CLICK or Computerized Local Information Counting Kludge. This system is

aimed to address the very laborious Election activities of SSG during electoral process.

He also developed the Monkayo NHS Governance System which aims to address

teachers’ transactions such as leave transactions, pass slip, travel and SSS query in the

efficient and friendly way. He also developed the Monkayo NHS Record System which
aims to address teachers’ task about individual student’s grade and serve as a

centralized database bank of all students’ grades from Grade 7-Grade 10.

Not only that, he also developed the Monkayo Guidance and Tracking Record

System which aims to address the students who have derogatory records and other

vital records used for counseling a problematic student. Also, with the overwhelming

number of papers in the registrar’s office, he found a solution to lighten the load of the

registrar in locating for the data and checking the record of the students who would

request for this form. Hence, he developed the MNHS Good Moral and Request Record

System which aims to hasten the process of issuing good moral and other records of

the students. Just recently, a system which helps in the efficient enrolment process

during the pandemic was developed. The Learner Enrolment Survey Form System was

developed out of necessity to easily summarize the learners’ choices of modalities. This

system is first in Davao de Oro. His recent endeavor was also focused on the

accessibility of students’ grades online. He dubbed it WING (Window for Interactive

Network Grade System). It is through this system that parents would have a direct

access (read-only privilege) to view the grades of their students.

Mr. Tayone’s skills in system development is acknowledged in the Division of

Davao de Oro. He was also given the privilege to create a system which is utilized by

the Division for specific purposes. One of these is the Davao de Oro Athletic System

which aims to aid teacher-coaches’ laborious tasks on individual student’s requirements

during the Province-wide Athletic meet. Moreover, he also lessened the tasks of the

Division Press Association by crafting the Compostela Valley Press Association System
which helps in manning the Division Schools’ Press Conference. What used to be

laborious becomes fast, easy, and convenient through these developed systems.

However, despite his seemingly fully loaded schedule with work, he maintains a

healthy work-life balance. He engages himself in community activities and plays his role

not just as a teacher but also as a father and a responsible member of the society. He is

a President in the Parent-Teacher Association and a membership director/coordinator of

the Knights of Columbus. He is also a trainer in the Regional Web-Based Community

Workshop.

Mr. Tayone continues to equip himself with the basic and advanced skills.

Despite the challenges of these changing times, he remains optimistic that quality

instruction will be achieved through innovations. Educational trends constantly

challenge both educators and learners but this man maintains his title of being an

Ambassador of Innovation--- he learns continuously to provide quality instruction in the

21st century.
