It’s June once again, which means that another school year is just about ready to begin. With this in mind, the Philippine Daily Inquirer has launched a contest that may reward some lucky grade school and high school teachers with laptops for their creativity:
To jumpstart the new school year, Inquirer in Education (IIE) is conducting a search for the best and most exciting teacher-created lesson plans using the pages of the Inquirer as primary source.
The IIE Lesson Plan Contest will be giving away a laptop computer every month for the next six months starting in July to the most creative Inquirer-based study guides […].
The contest is open to all active teachers in grade and high schools throughout the Philippines, whether public or private.
The lesson plan must be original, unpublished, clear, concise and preferably adaptable for grades 4-7 and high school years 1-4. It should come with an activity sheet for students and, where applicable, must include extension activities.
More information about the contest is available in the June 2, 2008 edition of the Inquirer (section I1), via email (learning@inquirer.com.ph), or at the Inquirer Website.
