HSSD Core Competencies by Marian Jeanette G. Laxa, MA and Lorna V. Wy, MA (October, 2005)

The Humanities and Social Science Department deliberated on its core competencies last October 03, 2005. The suggested competencies are as follows:

Mastery of the Subject Matter- Every Professor should be knowledgeable in all aspects of his/her subject matter. Since this is the heart of education - to impart and share relevant knowledge.

Effective Communications Skills- This is the ability of the Professor to speak fluently and accurately in terms of the correct usage of the English Language as a mandatory medium of teaching.

Process Driven- this pertains to the efficiency of current process; to identify improvement opportunities and to improve the delivery of quality education.

Effective Classroom Management- this pertains to the conformity of the HSSD faculty to the 5 S system and the adherence to the TIP teaching-paraphernalia rule.

This was a collaborative effort done by the HSSD faculty and will be implemented next semester
