Abstract

<p>The transformation of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) mandated through the issuance of Department Order (DO) 011, s. 2019, has two (2) major components: organizational and program transformation. Organizational transformation entails the review of the functions of NEAP as well as its structure and personnel complement to enable NEAP to carry out its mandate and functions, while Program transformation involves the development of an integrated professional development program as well as the establishment of mechanisms ensuring its alignment with the professional standards and integration in the wider NEAP professional development framework.</p><p>To support the Department of Education (DepEd) in transition towards a transformed NEAP, DepEd engaged the Philippine National Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ) and its partner, SiMERR National Research Center based at the University of New England, "to provide the primary technical assistance" to the NEAP Transformation Transition Team (DepEd, 2019). RCTQ designated a technical staff to work at the Office of the Secretary to provide technical assistance directly to the Undersecretary and Chief of Staff Atty. Nepomuceno Malaluan who is also the head of the NEAP Transformation Transition Team. RCTQ and SiMERR's work included research and technical assistance on the organizational and program transformation.</p><p>This Technical Report discusses the work conducted by RCTQ and SiMERR in its provision of primary technical assistance to the DepEd in the implementation of the NEAP Transformation per DO 011, s. 2019</p>
