Teach for the Philippines enlists promising young leaders as Fellows to teach in public schools for two years. This engagement is geared toward impacting the lives of the Fellows and their students to develop future leaders while transforming education.
To document and track its progress, Teach for the Philippines has recently adopted social, mobile and connected cloud computing technologies through the help of Salesforce.com Foundation. More specifically, Teach for the Philippines benefited from the Salesforce.com Foundation’s “Power of Us” program, which gives nonprofit organizations and higher education institutions access to salesforce.com products and resources to expand their collective impact.
Teach for the Philippines has recently adopted Cloud services to monitor whether its teaching programs that enlist promising young leaders as Fellows to teach in public schools will have produced societies’ leaders in the future.
Working with IPC (IP Converge Data Services Inc.), Teach for the Philippines deployed Salesforce to collectively serve as a reliable and accessible system to start monitoring the effectiveness of its teaching programs. Throughout the deployment process, IPC provided Teach for the Philippines with free consultancy, customization and implementation services.
Today, Teach for the Philippines uses Salesforce to monitor the students’ and teachers’ activities. These include students’ database, teacher-student relationships and grades, among others.
Said IPC President Reynaldo Huergas, “We at IPC believe in the goals of Teach for the Philippines. Just like a well-developed ICT sector, education is also key to the Philippines’ continuing progress. Through the non-profit organization, we are given the opportunity to contribute to teacher empowerment as part of our nation-building efforts.”
For her part, Teach for the Philippines Chief Executive Officer Margarita Liboro Delgado said, “Monitoring the effectiveness of different teaching programs and both its short-term and long-term impacts to students will support the core company efforts to ensure efficient and effective operations.”
“This would help the organization measure whether the foundation’s efforts of providing a capable teacher will have produced societies’ leaders in, say, 20 to 30 years.”
Founded in August 2012 by Lizzie Zobel, Margarita Delgado and Clarissa Isabelle Delgado, Teach for the Philippines stands on the shoulders of giants: the Sa Aklat Sisikat Foundation, which focused on functional literacy for over a decade and Teach for All, a global network of social enterprises working towards education reform.
Many of Teach for the Philippines’ 32 partner programs around the globe make use of Salesforce.com services.
