Att: Filipino teachers in Thailand -Teacher’s education course to be offered by CLSU

For those who are interested in
studying the courses required on
application for teacher’s license:
Here is the good news. The Central
Luzon State University (CLSU) can
offer the courses required starting
this summer. The details are below:

Warm greetings from the CLSU Open
University!

The education courses you are required
to take, 3 are exactly the same as
those we currently offer under our MS
in Education program. These are
Course nos. 2, 4, & 7. Course no. 5 is
offered under our Certificate in
Teaching program. Course nos. 1, 3, 6
& 8 are not offered by CLSU and
no modules have been developed for
these courses so far.

The good news is that we can offer
course nos. 2 and 4 starting summer
2008 and course nos. 5 & 7 First Sem
2008-2009, while we are developing
the modules for course nos. 1, 3, 6
and 8. By second semester, SY
2008-2009, we will be ready with
modules for the other courses.

Ok, we will offer MS in Education
online focusing on the 8 courses you
need. The students/enrollees may stop
schooling after finishing
these courses or continue to finish
the degree. However, we need your
assurance that there will be enough
enrollees. Otherwise, the modules
will be of no use. It’s expensive to
develop Learning Modules. The
development cost per module is about
Php20, 000, excluding cost of
materials.

In your case, you will shell out
PhP800 per module for course Nos. 1,
3, 6 and 8 only. The cost is a bit
higher than what we normally charge for
modules that have been developed and
are currently in use. The amount
applies only to the courses that are
not yet offered but will be developed
for you.

If you agree to these conditions, then
put them into writing. I wish to
review the things you will do. Write a
letter requesting us to offer
online the 8 courses you need
indicating the justifications for
the request. State that you agree to
pay Php800 on its equivalent in
Baht
or Dollars per learning module for the
courses the learning modules of
which will still be developed.
Furthermore, state that there will be
at least 20 enrollees from your group.
The names and signatures and complete
addresses of the enrollees should
appear in the letter-request.

Then add up Php1,000.00 LM
Development Fee to the sub-total.

It’s in/for the requested courses
where you will have to shell out an
LM
development fee. These courses are
Language and Technology, Learning
Management, Classroom Management and
Educational Innovation and
Information Technology. We are
proposing an LM Writing/Development Fee
of
Php1,000.00 per student for every LM
to be developed for the courses
herein abovestated. But the LM
Development Fee will be paid on a
staggered/semestral/term basis and not
on lump sum basis. This, in
order
not to make the payment of fees too
burdensome on the part of
enrollees.

That your fellow teachers graduated
non-education degrees is immaterial
for as long as they finished at least
four-year degrees. Anyway, there
are
pre-requisite courses that would
qualify you/them for the MSEd
curriculum.
And, these pre-requisite courses are
and will also be credited as
regular
subjects. So, every course is
recognized and no subject is wasted.

Summer Term begins April 1 and the
enrollment is scheduled during the
last
2 weeks of March. As early as now,
you/they can start collecting and
sending the admission requirements,
namely:

1. Application letter (OU Form
No. 1, available at OU website:
openuni-clsu.edu.ph)
2. Two recommendation letters (OU

3. Original or authenticated

BS/BA degree; and
