Gawad Luciano Millan Award Proposal
Potential challenges include ensuring objective and unbiased selection of awardees, coordinating amongst various school stakeholders, and managing budget constraints. These challenges can be addressed by establishing clear and transparent criteria, fostering collaboration and communication among school leaders, and closely monitoring expenditure to stay within the allocated budget from the School MOOE .
The estimated expenses for the program include costs for photopaper and specialty paper for certificates, frames for certificates, fare/transportation, and other incidental expenses, totaling 14,800 PHP. All expenses are charged to the School MOOE (Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses).
The program aligns with the Department of Education’s initiatives, specifically the CSC MC No. 03, s.2016, DepEd Order No. 9, s. 2002, and DepEd Order No. 78, s. 2007. These policies emphasize the promotion of service excellence and equitable recognition and reward systems for public officials and employees .
The selection process involves multiple steps: consulting with school leadership, drafting and presenting the program proposal and search criteria, collaborating with stakeholders, finalizing and presenting the criteria, calling for nominations, evaluating nominees' documents, announcing outstanding personnel, awarding the 'Gawad Luciano Millan,' and preparing and submitting a narrative report .
The objectives of the 'Gawad Luciano Millan and Loyalty Award' program include encouraging, recognizing, and rewarding employees for their outstanding performance, competence, commitment, creativity, and exemplary behavior and leadership. It aims to establish a mechanism for selecting and rewarding deserving personnel and to honor outstanding accomplishments and best practices of employees continuously .
Rodolfo L. Aquino, as the proponent of the program, serves as the Chairman of the School PRAISE Committee and is the President of the Teachers-Personnel Association. He is responsible for preparing the program proposal and overseeing the implementation of the award program .
The timeline involves a structured Gantt chart guiding activities from consultations and drafting proposals to final evaluations and awards over several months (May to October 2022). This temporal plan ensures that each stage receives adequate time for execution, allowing for thorough preparation, collaboration, and adjustments, ultimately leading to a smooth execution .
The program promotes continuous improvement by recognizing and rewarding outstanding accomplishments and innovative practices of teaching and non-teaching personnel on an ongoing basis. This recognition not only incentivizes employees to maintain high performance standards but also encourages the adoption and sharing of best practices throughout the school .
The award serves to boost institutional morale and performance by publicly acknowledging the hard work and dedication of both teaching and non-teaching staff. This public recognition fosters a culture of excellence, motivates employees to excel, and enhances overall institutional performance and commitment to the school's key performance areas .
The program ensures non-discriminatory practices by adhering to principles that neither discriminate nor unduly favor any individual based on sex, age, civil status, religion, race, socioeconomic status, or physical attributes. It implements institutionalized criteria to guarantee equality, equity, and fairness in the selection process .
