School is a child’s second home and it is best that they get the same nurturing that parents give their child. Fortunately, a learning program meets its demand by having a more innovative approach to education. Since 2016, XSEED,an education and technology company with headquarters in Singapore, has been helping educators in the Philippines shift their teaching methods witha comprehensive teaching and learning program. In 2017, it saw exponential growth with 30 primary schools in Luzon adopting the XSEED program. XSEED’s unique Five Step Learning Process ensures that children develop critical and analytical thinking skills by replacing traditional “chalk and talk” teaching methods. The XSEED programcomprises over 10,000 comprehensive, researched teaching plans to help XSEED-trained teachers uncover and share each concept, step-by-step. The teaching plans guideteachers on how to teach each concept – setting a clear aim aligned with a learning outcome, conducting an activity, analyzing the experience, applying it in everyday life, and finally assessing what children have learned. Year-round coaching and training in the classroom further empowers teachers with the know-how and confidence necessary to continuously uplift classroom practice. Schools adopting the XSEED method see marked improvements in problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, and communication in English. A 2014 study showed that XSEED children outperformed their peers in non-XSEED schools by up to 20 percent on an average across grades and even more on items requiring mastery of higher-order inference and reasoning skills. The program benefits the children by enhancing curiosity, confidence and thinking skills – the very skills they need to excel in the 21st century. Educators and school administrators from around the country attended an XSEED forum to gain a deeper understanding of the program. The group learned about the impact XSEED is having, not just in the Philippines, but in over 3,000 schools across eight countries in South and Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Every day, over one million children learn through the XSEED method, through more than 75,000 re-skilled teachers.With an increasingly global footprint, XSEED has gained a reputation as one of the exciting new international education companies today. “Through this event, we wanted to introduce XSEED to more educators in the country who are also seeking to dramatically improve the quality of teaching and learning in their classrooms. We believe that they will see the intrinsic value of the program for their students,and are confident that with this program we can help Filipino students become more prepared for all of their future opportunities,” Mr. Ashish Rajpal, Founder & Chairman of XSEED Education Pte. Ltd.said. XSEED’s flexible program draws on a schools’existing teachers, syllabus and classroom infrastructure, and provides schools with teaching materials, content and workbooks for children, assessments, and training. XSEED believes in developing the child’s foundation for life. For more information on XSEED, visit www.xseededucation.com
