ARTICLE 267. Extension of the Maximum Period of Residency. No

extension of the maximum period of residency shall be allowed except in
meritorious cases.

I. 3.
Graduating students conduct
research and/or undergo
practicum/ OJT or other
activities prescribed in their
respective curricula.

On the final year of Education students
two major tasks are to happen. First, it is the
year where they will take the subject
“Introduction to Research” and so they
have to make a proposal for a research work.
The others whose description says
“Research” would really have to make a
full blown research.
On the second semester, they have to

undergo practice teaching for one whole
semester.

I.4.
The College/ Department of

Undergraduate Teacher Education
(BEED) assists the graduating
students with academic deficiencies,
disciplinary cases and other
problems which hinder issuance of
clearances.

When students who have deficiency in any
academic subject, the adviser assists by talking to the
teacher concerned how they can help the student
complete his/her grades or if the student concerned
still have the chance to complete his/her deficiency.
When female students are confronted with the

“pregnancy concern” the adviser invites the parents
to come to school in writing or through phone to
discuss how the student could continue with her
studies with her condition.
When students do not have money to pay the

tuition, the adviser signs in the student’s promissory
note as a guarantor.

I. 5.
A clearance from academic and

financial accountabilities and
responsibilities is required before
graduation.

Above are pictures of sample clearances needed for
graduation.

OUTCOMES

O. 1.
At least 60% of students
enrolled in the program are able
to graduate within the regular
time frame.

According to the cohort issued by the registrar,
the College of Teacher Education more than 60%
of our students are able to graduate within the
specified time.

PARAMETER E
(GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS)
BEST PRACTICES

BEST PRACTICES
 Early Evaluation of Graduating Students

Every summer, the office of the Registrar starts evaluating the
grades of incoming senior students to prepare them for their forthcoming
practicum. This process gives both the students and the Office of the
Registrar the chance to verify the documents or if there is any deficiency
in their mandatory papers for graduation and the completeness of their
grades that would permit them to graduate come March of the succeeding
year. This process gives the students enough time to request or secure the
documents they missed to submit.

 Graduation Referendum
Every semester, a month before graduation, a list of graduating
students for the semester, be it October or March, is furnished to all
colleges. This is for the respective college to check the correct spelling,
course and address of the students.
The advisers check and ensure that all students who are to graduate in
their class are included in the list provided in the referendum. If errors are
found, the adviser would have to make the proper corrections before she
will affix her signature. This is done twice before the final list will be
submitted for printing in the graduation program.

 Graduation Protocol
Graduation protocol is carried out by selected Faculty and non-
teaching staff from different units/colleges. This group ensures that the
system of rules and correct conduct and procedure are strictly followed
during graduation for a safe and smooth ceremony. The Graduation
Protocol, as they call themselves, start their task during graduation
practice and they give suggestions for the betterment of the graduation
ceremony.
On graduation day the Graduation Protocol Group are uniformly

dressed and they act as ushers, guide or they are cueing the candidates on
what to do or where to go.

Graduation usherettes and ushers

 Two Batches of Graduates
The Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) has 14 colleges
with an average of 2000 candidates for graduation each year. The
Graduation Ceremony is held at the gymnasium, which is not big enough
to accommodate all the graduating students. The WMSU administration
never held its graduation ceremony in a private hotel which offers bigger
space to accommodate all the graduating students and their parents or
relatives, since this will add an extra cost to the parents and guardians.
Hence, a better option is to have the graduation ceremony in two batches.
One is held a day after the first graduation. This scheme could provide
parents and relatives of the graduating students with seats. Candidates for
graduation are given three slots each for their parents/relatives to attend
the ceremony.

 Graduation Snacks
The Western Mindanao State University holds its graduation
ceremony early in the morning. As early as six in the morning, the
candidates, together with their parents and other significant persons in
their life start arriving at the venue. Most, if not all, have not eaten a good
breakfast because of preparations and excitement. Definitely, while the
ceremony is ongoing and it takes almost four hours to finish the ceremony,
candidates start feeling hungry and their parents would go out of the
gymnasium to buy food and secretly pass this to their sons/daughters. This
practice creates unnecessary movement and noise which are annoying for
dignitaries seated onstage.
To eliminate this uncalled for occurrence, the administration
decided to provide simple snacks, just a cracker, a piece of candy and
bottled water, while the ceremony is ongoing. This could sustain their
hunger till the end of the ceremony.
Graduation Snacks

 Advisers’ Presence During the Practice
Every section of graduating students in the College of Teacher of
Education has its own adviser, who has been guiding them since their first
year in the college. The adviser is likewise responsible for them in all their
academic activities and non-academic. It is also expected of the advisers
to be with their advisees during their graduation practice to help the
protocol group in the arrangement, formation and whatever help the
committee needs from them.

PARAMETER F:
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
FOR EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION

S. 1.
The institution has policies on:
a. substitution or special
arrangement whenever a
faculty is on leave or absent
b. giving awards and/or

recognition for faculty and
students with outstanding
achievements
c. supervision, monitoring and

during his/her absence.
However, upon his/her return, a “make – up class”

should be planned to cover up for his/her absence.
If a teacher is absent because he/she is sick, the dean or

the department head assigns a teacher who is free at that time
to sit in the class and facilitate the activities of the students.
If the teacher files a sick leave for a month or two, the

subject will be assigned temporarily to a teacher as an
overload.

and other personnel actions.
c. supervision, monitoring and evaluation of faculty

performance

The WMSU Code spells out the duties and
responsibilities of the dean and the associate dean in the
department.
One of their responsibilities is to monitor and evaluate
faculty performances and supervise the activities in their
respective department.
The department heads are most often tasked to observe
classes and evaluate teacher performances. They also
monitor the presence of the teacher inside the classroom
everyday.

IMPLEMENTATION

I. 1.
The institution implements rules
on the attendance of the faculty in
their respective classes and other
academic related activities.

At the start of the semester, every faculty prepares the
Individual Daily Program (IDP) to be approved by the Vice
President for Academic Affairs. Once approved the time
daily scheduled stipulated there becomes the official time of
the faculty.
The WMSU Administrative Manual talks about the

punctuality of the faculty in reporting to work as prescribed
by the IDP but there is no provision on the attendance and
punctuality of the faculty in their respective classes.
The Department Head fills this gap by moving around

the classroom to check if the teacher is in their post and have
them sign in the log book.
One of the activities stipulated in the IDP is categorized

as “others” which is allotted with a certain time depending
upon the teacher’s teaching load or if the teacher is with
designation. Under the “others,” activities included there is
preparation of reports and other required reports and
attendance to other university’s academic functions, and the
university authorities issue memorandum whenever the
faculty is required to attend an activity.

I. 2.
Dialogues are regularly

conducted by the administration
with the faculty and students

I. 3.
Quality instruction is assured through the

conduct of the following strategies:
a. conducting seminar/workshop on syllabi

making
b. holding workshops on test construction
and the corresponding table of
specification
c. conducting competency assessment
d. conducting supervisory visit of classes and
providing assistance if necessary
e. holding regular faculty meetings
f. requiring consultations between the
students and the faculty
g. conducting studies on the academic
performances of students
h.providing opportunities for the
participation of the faculty in In-Service
training

a. conducting seminar/workshop on syllabi making
The CTE Faculty on their syllabus – making seminar / workshop
b. holding workshop on test construction of the corresponding table of

specification
The CTE conducted seminar on Table of Specification writing to refresh

the faculty on TOS Preparation and to prepare better tests.
c. conducting competency assessment
Each subject or course in BSED requires certain competency that leads to

the realization of the course objective. In PED courses, their teaching skills are
tested first in the classroom then in the real classroom setting.
d. conducting supervisory visit of classes and providing assistance if

necessary
The Department Heads conduct supervisory visits or observe classes once

or twice a semester. The result of the visit/observation could be used in helping
the teacher in one’s difficulty.

e. holding regular faculty meetings
The Dean holds regular meetings and at times special meetings when there
is a need.
The Dean of the College of Teacher Education conducting a faculty meeting.
f. requiring consultations between the students and the faculty
The IDP stipulates that teachers are required to conduct consultation with
the students particularly those who are having difficulties in their studies or even
personal issues.
g. conducting studies on the academic performance of students

I. 4.
Periodic faculty performance

evaluation on teaching and in
other functions is done by at
least three of the following:
a. the Dean/Academic Head/

Department Chair
b. the students
c. the faculty members
himself/ herself
d. peers
e. others

The BSED Department Head observes the faculty
while the teacher is teaching. The head observes
before the midterm and final examination. After the
observation, a post conference is held to help the
teacher in his/her difficulties to improve where there is
a need.
The students rate their teachers only once a

semester. The department head moves around and
personally gets inside the room to have students rate
their teachers.
The faculty rates him/herself at the end of the

semester. This gives him the opportunity to reflect so
he/she will come to realize what he/she needs to
improve. The department head confers to the faculty
and the two will come to an agreement of the rating
and the Department head will give suggestion on how
the faculty could get better rating.

I. 5.
The result of the performance

evaluation is used to improve the
performance/competencies of the
faculty.

At the end of the semester, the department
heads will discuss about the difficulties faced by
the teachers. They will plan for a seminar or
training to address the difficulties.
Likewise, when there is a seminar held by

competent agency, the teacher who needs the
seminar will be sent to attend the seminar.
The seasoned faculty who exhibits laudable

performance will be acting as mentor to those
who need their help in certain aspects to help
improve.

I. 6.
Students are given recognition for

exemplary academic and non-
academic performances

Recognizing Academic Achievers
At the end of the school year, a Recognition Program in

the College of Teacher Education as well as University
Recognition Program are held to give recognition to all
students who academically excel in their class. Those whose
grades are 1.75 or better are given the title as DEAN’s LIST
from first to fourth year.
The graduating students are recognized in the university

wide during graduation for those whose grades reached 1.41
to 1.600 as CUM LAUDE while those who get 1. 21- 1. 40
are given the honors as MAGNA CUMLAUDE. The
