Key Topic 1: Legal Bases on the K to 12 Basic Education Program 11 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

On August 22, 2019, the Department of Education (DepEd) issued DepEd Order (No. 21, s. 2019) entitled Policy Guidelines on the K to 12 Program to provide context to and articulate its context, features and programs. The order was in reference to the previously issued DepEd Order (No. 3, s. 2013) and DepEd Memorandum (No. 99, s. 2013). In these orders, background and rationale of the K to 12 Program is explicitly discussed. As a newly- hired teacher, it will be helpful for you to understand the legal mandates on the conceptualization of the K to 12 Program and to understand reasons for the shift from the Revised Basic Education Curriculum to the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. This will serve as a framework in your professional practice as an education stakeholder. The following are the legal bases of the K to 12 Curriculum. Please take time to read them, and later on, discuss with your mentor. 12 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

RA 10533 AN ACT ENHANCING THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION SYSTEM BY STRENCTHENING ITS CURRICULUM AND INCREASING THE NUMBER OF YEARS FOR BASIC EDUCATION, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES DO 31 S.2012 POLICY GUIDELINES ON THEIMPLEMENTATION OF GRADES 1 TO 10 OF THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM (BEC) EFFECTIVE SCHOOL YEAR 2012- 2013 DO 41 S.2013 IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS (IRR) OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10533 OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ENHANCED BASIC EDUCATION ACT OF 2013 DO 21 S.2019 POLICY GUIDELINES OF THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM 14 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Required Task 3: Mentor- Mentee Collaboration Answer the following processing questions by discussing with your mentor. 1. What are the different issues addressed by the legal bases of the K to 12 Curriculum? Which among them affects you the most as a teacher? 2. What do you think are the top three factors that are given emphasis by the different K to 12 laws and orders? Why do you think so? The K–12 Curriculum's legislative foundations address problems including the short basic education cycle, the absence of kindergarten, and the discrepancy between the demands of the labor market and education. Through curricular enhancement and the addition of two years of Senior High School, these statutes seek to generate graduates who are globally competitive. The requirement to continuously modify and enhance my teaching methods in order to assist pupils in acquiring 21st-century abilities is what most influences me as a teacher. 15 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers In my own experience, the K–12 curriculum's focus on competency-based learning has significantly influenced how students interact with the material and given them the opportunity to develop abilities that will be useful in their future employment. Additionally, I've witnessed how the emphasis on holistic development pushes students to develop outside the classroom and become more well-rounded people via character education and extracurricular activities. Furthermore, students now have more individualized routes to success because to the expansion of educational access, particularly with the Senior High School courses, which makes learning seem more connected to their individual objectives.

Summary The K to 12 Curriculum is a major structural and programmatic change that was boldly taken by the Department of Education. The K to 12 addresses the challenges posed by the changing context and realities of current learners. RA 10533 otherwise known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 sets the K to 12 curriculum as a national effort to strengthen the curriculum in the Philippines. Understanding the legal bases of the K to 12 Curriculum will help teachers understand the nature and purpose of the curriculum. This will better set the teachers’ disposition into aligning the curriculum into their classroom practices. 16 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Session 2: Salient Features of the K to 12 Program Preliminary Activity Let us have an inventory of your ideas about the salient features of the K to 12 education using the chart below. Salient Features What I Know What I need to Know Inclusive Education All students are given equal opportunity to learn in traditional classroom environments, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, or language difficulties, thanks to inclusive education. In order to accommodate students with special needs in an inclusive classroom, I need to know the precise tactics and resources that educators employ. Early Childhood Education By encouraging a love of learning in a secure, caring, and play-based setting, it aims to get young students ready for formal education. I want to understand how teachers are trained and what standards or assessments are used to measure developmental milestones in early learners. Curriculum Relevance Curriculum relevance makes ensuring that the knowledge and abilities students learn in school are in line with their real-world experiences, the requirements of the community, and their future employment prospects. I'm interested in finding out how local industries, cultures, and beliefs are incorporated into the curriculum to provide pupils a deeper understanding of what they are learning. Curriculum Proficiency Building In order to guarantee that students gain profound comprehension and long-term retention, it places a strong emphasis on the ongoing development and reinforcement of competencies. I need to understand how educators evaluate students' performance at various grade levels and modify their lessons to help struggling students. 17 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Key Topic 1: Salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum As prescribed by Republic Act 10533, DepEd shall adhere to several principles in pursuit of the K to 12 Basic Education Program. To realize them, our Department strengthens the programs, projects and activities anchored on long- term goals of inclusive education, which is also aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) officially known as “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 1 ” The K to 12 Program has several salient features that will produce 21st century prepared learners. DepEd Order no. 21 s. 2019 discussed these salient features explicitly. 1 UN General Assembly, Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, 21 October 2015, A/RES/70/1, available at: https://www .r efworld.org/docid/57b6e3e44.html [accessed 27 April 2021] 18 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Features Program Practical Example Strengthening Early Childhood Education Universal Kindergarten As defined in Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, kindergarten is the first stage of compulsory and mandatory formal education which consists of one (1) year preparatory education for children at least five (5) years old as a prerequisite to grade one. Making Curriculum Relevant to Learners Contextualization and Enhancement The curriculum endeavors to adapt to the diversified and evolving demands and needs of the learners. Materials, language and teaching styles are being contextualized based on the learners’ level, locality, etc. Building Proficiency Through Language Mother - Tongue Based Multilingual Education Mother- tongue based materials are being prepared and MTB- MLE is being used in the early stages of education. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning Spiral Progression To make sure that learners will master the prescribed learning competencies, topics are picked and classified in increasing complexity according to their level of maturity and readiness. Gearing Up for the Future Senior High School Programs to provide tangible learnings and experiences are given to the learners to make them more life- ready. Some of the good examples include various intensive mentoring and immersion programs based on the learners’ chosen field of interest. Nurturing the Holistically- Developed Filipino College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills The curriculum’s goal is to equip the learners with 21 st century skills and make them ready for whatever they may pursue beyond basic education. The curriculum is flexible in containing programs geared for those who will take higher education or for those who will pursue entrepreneurial/job- ready career paths. 19 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Required Task 1: Case Studies Study the following cases and tell what your actions will be on these scenarios. Base your answers on the K to 12 Curriculum and the DepEd Vision and Mission . Limit your response to 100 words. Case 1: You have a transferee learner who only speaks her mother tongue. As a result, your learners cannot communicate with her properly and the transferee learner feels left out. What can you do as her teacher? Case 2: You have a learner wanting to take up engineering in college. Upon checking his grades, you have learned that he has not been good in Mathematics. What can you do to help the learner? 20 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2 Language barriers can make anyone feel hesitant, therefore it's responsibility of th e teacher to reach out to the student. Don't wait for him or her to request assistance. The teacher's solution to these linguistic hurdles may be to pair the transferee pupils with one of her more knowledgeable students. This knowledgeable companion can serve as a mentor to new students as they face the inevitable challenges.   I can teach the students to be confident when answering math problems. Another thing I should do is encourage students to ask questions and create space for curiosity. The more students ask for clarification, the better because it only means they are paying attention and learning. Another way to assist the learner be good at mathematics is to provide authentic issues that improve students' desire to interact with math. Teaching kids how to apply math to real-world problems increases their enthusiasm and comprehension.

Case 3: One of the features of the K to 12 Curriculum is spiral progression. Upon seeing your learners’ pre-test results, you have realized that they are yet to master last year’s competencies. What will you do to have them meet the requirements of the new level? Case 4 : You have a class which has a sizable number of over- aged learners who have taken the grade level multiple times. How will you decide on the learning plan considering your other learners? 21 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers In order to give students a solid foundation for new subjects, I will use remedial instruction and scaffolded activities to go over key competencies from the prior year. In order to progressively reinforce learning, I will incorporate prior abilities into present courses using the K–12 spiral progression method. In order to promote the DepEd Mission of developing capable, lifelong learners, I will also use formative assessments to track progress and offer timely interventions. I can provide varied activities that are suitable to the age and understanding of his/her learners. I can also provide group tasks wherein they can collaborate with each other.

Summary The K to 12 Curriculum has many features which ensure that learners will develop 21 st century skills and will have equal access to relevant and quality education. These features address various concerns which are not limited only to instruction but also cover the diversity of learners and the paths they may choose to pursue after basic education. The features of the K to 12 curriculum are: strengthening early childhood education, making curriculum relevant to learners, (3) building proficiency through language, (4) ensuring integrated and seamless learning, (5) making curriculum relevant, and (6) nurturing the holistically-developed Filipino. To achieve these intentions, the Department of Education develops and implements programs to respond to these educational goals. The Department of Education implements and enacts several programs that align with the principles of the K to 12 curriculum and global agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As teachers, you have a big role to play in the realization of these educational goals. The K to 12 Program includes Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of junior high school, and two years of senior high school [SHS]) to allow for adequate time for concept and skill mastery, to develop lifelong learners, and to prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle- level skill development, employment, and entrepreneurship. 22 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Session 3 – The Conceptual Framework of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum Key Topic 1: The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum Framework Imagine that you are attending a Senior High School Graduation. This batch of the graduating class has been your learners in the past year. If you were one of the teachers of this graduating batch, in what ways do you think would you have imparted them with 21 st century skills? Every learner who completes the K to 12 Basic Education Program is trained and nurtured to become a Filipino equipped with 21 st century skills. The attainment of this objective is established based on the nature, contexts, and needs of learners. The graduates of the K to 12 Program will have the necessary physical, cognitive, socio-emotional and moral preparation so they can determine their own purposes for learning in consideration of current and emerging needs of their immediate, local, national, and global communities. 2 By carefully studying the K to 12 Conceptual Framework, you will understand your role or your task in realizing the vision, goals and objectives of the Department of Education. 2 DepEd Order No. 21 s. 2019 23 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers I would have taught 21st-century skills by fostering a collaborative, critical-thinking, creative, and communicative classroom atmosphere if I had been a teacher of this graduating class. I would include technology into educational activities, encourage teamwork through group projects and peer review, and foster problem-solving through real-world scenarios. In keeping with the objectives of the K–12 Curriculum and the DepEd Vision of creating globally competitive graduates, I would also assist them in becoming responsible digital citizens and lifelong learners, giving them the tools they need not only for academic success but also for future careers and life challenges.

Questions Answer Mentor- Mentee Discussions How is the learner regarded by the K to 12 Program? The learner is regarded as the center of education . The focus of the 21 st century teacher is on student by developing higher order thinking skills, effective communication, collaboration, and other skills that they need in the 21st century. The teachers must develop new teaching strategies that will challenge our 21st century learners. As a teacher, what 21 st century skills should be acquired by our learners? The 21st century skills should be acquired by learners are they should learn to think critically, learn to collaborate, enhance their creativity and innovation skills, and equip them with technology skills and digital literacy skills.. Education provides contextualized practice for the application of 21 st century skills as these are embedded in different learning areas. What are the possible exit points of the Filipino K to 12 graduates? Higher education, employment, entrepreneurship, and technical-vocational education and training (TVET) are the potential exit routes for Filipino K–12 graduates. One of the salient features of the K to 12 Program is ensuring integrative and seamless learning. How do you think the learning areas will be taught in the formal schools and non- formal schools such as the Alternative Learning System? There is no difference when it comes to teaching Integrative and seamless learning. The learning areas taught are more on practical application of what have they Learned What support is needed for a Filipino graduate to become 21 st century ready? Provide them trainings about the latest technology so that they are capable to cope up with the 21st century global Competencies 25 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Reflection Questions: 1. What did you feel in doing the activity? 2. What are some considerations in making a learning plan? 38 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2 The project required careful alignment of objectives, techniques, and assessments, which made me feel both challenged and fulfilled. It caused me to think carefully about how to give my students meaningful and applicable learning experiences. In making the Learning Plan Guide the teacher should consider is what subject to be taught, what strategies to be taught, what skills should be developed of learners and etc.

3. What insight/s did you gain from this activity? 39 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers I realized that good teaching is more than just imparting knowledge; it also entails careful preparation that links learning goals to practical situations. I learned that learning guide are documents you give to students so that they are guided by their own learning in the module.

Optional Task 1 Based on your understanding of the K to 12 Curriculum Conceptual Framework, suggest strategies and possible exit points given the specific types of learners. Learner Description Subject Matter / Grade Level Strategies Exit Point 1. A learner who often needs to skip classes to have his check- ups and medical procedures. He is good in the languages and mathematics but has difficulty learning topics in PE and TLE. PE/Grade 10 Provide written assessment instead to ensure his health and safety. Health and Wellness Portfolio with activity logs, written reflections, a short research task, and a recorded or live presentation on the importance of physical activity. 2. A learner diligently attends classes; however, she keeps on getting low grades. Her records reveal that she has a learning disability. Her favorite subject is Filipino. Filipino/Grade 5 The teacher should provide activities based on the understanding of the learner. Give intensive remedial instruction to help the learner. Audio Story Project or Mini Book The student can record herself telling a short narrative in Filipino or make a basic graphical storybook. This enables her to demonstrate her linguistic proficiency, inventiveness, and comprehension without being constrained by written work alone. 40 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

K to 12 Curriculum has been conceptualized and developed through careful and proper planning with complete and strong support from all its stakeholders as mentioned in the curriculum. It is anchored on a strong framework to ensure that the Curriculum will effectively achieve its desired goals. A curriculum guide is designed to provide directions as it outlines the material that teachers need to cover. Before navigating through the parts and features of the curriculum guide, it is important to understand the conceptual frameworks that will give you a bird’s eye view of the K to 12 curriculum. Mathematics Conceptual Framework Araling Panlipunan Conceptual Framework Optional Task 2: Compare and contrast During the meeting of the Grade 6 teachers for their subject assignments, Mrs. Navarro was assigned to teach both Mathematics and Araling Panlipunan subjects. She decided to study and analyze how the two subjects will be better understood. She compared the two conceptual frameworks. Tick Yes if they are similar and No if not. 41 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Questions Answers Feedback Context Yes = correct / No = in correct The context may differ even if the teacher teaches the same grade level. Adjusting to the learners’ context (their prior knowledge, motivation and interest, and cognitive level) is important in developing effective lessons for several different subjects Content Yes = incorrect / No = correct Each learning area has a distinct set of content which can be similar but not identical to each other. Skills and processes Yes = correct No = incorrect / According to the K to 12 framework, learning areas have the same processes in delivering learning. Values and attitudes Yes = correct No = incorrect / The values that are to be developed remain the same across all learning areas. Learners Yes = correct / No = incorrect All learning areas have the same treatment to the learners. However, understanding their context and considering the diversity of learners are crucial to planning effective lessons. 42 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Process Questions: 1. What can you say about the similarities and differences between the conceptual frameworks of the two subjects? 2. Try to look at the conceptual framework of the other subjects, do they have the same features? How can you say so? 43 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers The similarities are they are both experiential and situated learning. The difference between the two subjects is the Araling Panlipunan aims to develop the pupil’s literate and effective participation as a citizen of the country while the Mathematics aims to achieve the twin goals of developing students critical and problem solving skills. Yes. All subjects follow the Spiral Progression Approach. I can say this because, like AP and Math, I have seen how science fosters inquiry and problem-solving while English fosters communication and reflection. Both programs strive to create well-rounded, 21st-century learners.

Summary: The K to 12 Curriculum Conceptual Framework illustrates the Department of Education’s mandate to holistically develop Filipino learners equipped with 21 st century skills which are embedded in the curriculum and gradually developed through the learning competencies and learning standards. The curriculum guide provides us with different learning principles and theories, strategies, instructional materials, and assessments that can be utilized for the learners to meet the content and performance standards and learning competencies in each grade level, thus, achieving the overall goal of K to 12 for holistically 21 st developed Filipino with century skills. It also provides us with a set of broad learning outcomes that summarizes the knowledge, skills and understanding, values, and attitudes essential for all learners to succeed in and beyond their schooling. 44 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

1. Conceptual framework - shows the guiding principles in which the teaching of the subject area is anchored on. 2. Learning area standards - shows the learners’ expected level of proficiency in terms of the learning or subject area. 3. Content standards - are “benchmarks of knowledge and skills” as defined in DO 31 s. 2012 - define what learners are expected to know (knowledge, facts and information), what they should be able to do (process or skills) with what they know, and the meanings or understandings that they construct or make as they process the facts and information (Enclosure to DO 31 s. 2012, p. 1) - answer the question: “What do learners want to know, be able to do, and understand?” 4. Performance standards - are ‘benchmarks of transfer of learning’ as defined in DO 31 s. 2012 - define the expected proficiency level which is expressed in two ways: learners should be able to use their learning or understanding in real- life situations and they should be able to do this on their own (Enclosure to DO 31 s. 2012, p. 2) - answer the questions: “What do we want learners to do with their learning or understanding?” and “How do we want them to use their learning or understanding?” 5. Key stage standard - shows the degree or quality of proficiency that the learner is able to demonstrate in each key stage after learning a particular learning area in relation to the core learning area standard. - key stage refers to stages in the K to 12 program reflecting distinct developmental milestones. Assessment of learning is critical at the end of each stage. The key stages are: Key stage 1 - Kindergarten to Grade 3 Key Stage 2 - Grade 4 to Grade 6 key Stage 3 - Grade 7 to Grade 10 Key Stage 4 - Grade 11 and 12 (DepEd Order no. 21, s. 2019, p. 4) 6. Grade level standards - shows the degree or quality of proficiency that the learner is able to demonstrate in each grade level (grades 1- 10) 7. Learning competencies - knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes that learners need to demonstrate in every lesson and/or learning activity (DepEd, 2020) Some curriculum guides may also provide additional information such as a brief introduction or outline, philosophy and guiding principles, and other inputs to help teachers gain a deeper understanding of the subject area. The curriculum guide unpacks the program and learning area standards to help teachers in designing activities for the lesson plan. 50 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Required Task 1: Case Analysis The best way for you to know more about the curriculum guides is by exploring it yourself. Read the following scenario and answer the guide questions: Sheryll is a new teacher who is assigned to teach Grade 4, 5, and 6 Araling Panlipunan in a small elementary school. Since she will be teaching three levels of the same subject, her master teacher told her to check the Araling Panlipunan curriculum. She reflected on the curriculum by answering the following questions: What are the contents that she will teach in the subject area? GRADE 4- Ang Pilipinas GRADE 5- Pagbuo ng Pilipinas bilang Nasyon GRADE 6- Mga Hamon at Tugon sa Pagkabansa b. What is the difference between Grade 4, 5 and Grade 6 Araling Panlipunan curriculum? There is no difference between Grade 4, 5 and Grade 6 Araling Panlipunan because the overall design curriculum follows the spiral approach c. What approaches are appropriate and relevant for Grade 4, Grade 5 and Grade 6 Araling Panlipunan learners? Experiential and contextualized learning Collaborative learning Constructivist approach Discussion Lecture As a colleague, you want to help her figure out these concerns. Go through the C urriculum Guide for Araling Panlipunan and answer Sheryll’s questions. Araling Panlipunan Conceptual Framework 51 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Instructions/Give context to these questions Question Option Feedback What are the objectives of the Araling Panlipunan curriculum? “functionally literate and developed Filipino.” “Naipamamalas ang panimulang pag-unawa sa pagkilala sa sarili at pakikipag- ugnayan sa kapwa bilang pundasyon sa paglinang ng kamalayan sa kapaligirang sosyal.” “Makahubog ng mamamayang mapanuri, mapagnilay, mapanagutan, produktibo, makakalikasan, makabansa, at makatao na may pambansa at pandaigdigang pananaw at pagpapahalaga sa mga usapin sa lipunan, sa nakaraan, kasalukuyan, at hinaharap.” “Pagsunod sa teorya sa pagkatuto na kontruktibismo, magkatuwang na pagkatuto (collaborative learning), at pagkatutong pangkaranasan at pangkonteksto at ang paggamit ng mga pamaraang tematiko- kronolohikal at paksain/ konseptuwal, pagsisiyasat, intregratibo, interdesiplinaryo at multisiplinaryo.” c. “ Makahubog ng mamamayang mapanuri , mapagnilay , mapanagutan , produktibo , makakalikasan , makabansa , at makatao na may pambansa at pandaigdigang pananaw at pagpapahalaga sa mga usapin sa lipunan , sa nakaraan , kasalukuyan , at hinaharap .” The objectivesof teachin k-12 ARALING PANLIPUNAN is to develop students understanding in primary knowledge aspects Are there differences between Grade 4, 5, and 6 Araling Panlipunan curriculum? There are no differences between these grade levels because they have the same key stage standards. There are no differences between these grade levels because they follow the same format as any other subjects and grade level. There are differences between the grade level’s content because the curriculum works in a developmentally progressive framework. There are differences between the grade level’s content because unlike the previous curriculum, Grade 5 already covers the Philippine nationhood. c. There are differences between the grade level’s content because the curriculum works in a developmentally progressive framework. The Araling Panlipunan curriculum is designed with a developmentally progressive framework , meaning learners build upon prior knowledge as they move up each grade. 52 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Question Option Feedback What approaches are appropriate and relevant for Grade 4 to Grade 6 Araling Panlipunan learners? The approaches should follow a constructivist approach with emphasis on content contextualization. The approaches in Araling Panlipunan should be; constructivist, collaborative, and contextual. The approaches in Araling Panlipunan should be; thematic, investigative, and multidisciplinary The approaches in Araling Panlipunan should be developmentally progressive. b. The approaches in Araling Panlipunan should be; constructivist, collaborative, and contextual. Araling panlipunan,students develop their understanding They will learn about their values in different time and condition. They also develop the perspective of their environment and the process of its advancement. How is the content standard different from the performance standard? Content standard answers the question: “What do the learners need to learn?” while the performance standard answers the question: “What do the learners need to do to demonstrate their knowledge?” Content standard is the outline of content learners need to learn while the performance standard is a performative assessment done by the end of the lesson. Content standard is a series of chronological events in history that learners need to learn while performance standard is the part where teachers and learners reflect on their learning experience. None of the above. A. Content standard answers the question: “What do the learners need to learn?” while the performance standard answers the question: “What do the learners need to do to demonstrate their knowledge?” Content standards are broad statement explaining what students should know,care and be able to do in each level of learning. 5. I want to set a goal for my class this coming school year. Based on the Araling Panlipunan 4 curriculum, the Learning Area Standard for AP 4 is: “Naipagmamalaki ang pagka- Pilipino at ang bansang Pilipinas na may pagpapahalaga sa pagkakaiba- iba ng mga kulturang Pilipino batay sa paggamit ng mga kasanayan sa heograpiya, pag-unawa sa kultura at kabuhayan, pakikilahok sa pamamahala at pagpapahalaga sa mga mithiin ng bansang Pilipinas.” What goal would you suggest for my class in AP 4? (open- ended question) “I want my students to appreciate and respect the different Filipino cultures, understand how geography affects people’s lives, get involved in decision-making in their communities, and be inspired by the hopes and dreams of the Philippines.” Emphasizes active involvement (“get involved in decision-making”) which encourages civic responsibility. 53 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Now, it’s your turn! Go through the curriculum guide of the subject area you teach. Be guided by the instructions and questions below: 1. Study the conceptual framework found in the curriculum guide and reflect on the guiding principles and philosophies your subject area is anchored on. Are there concepts that are new to you? Which guiding principles or philosophies do you think are reflected in your current teaching practices? 2. Study the core learning area/learning area standards of your subject area. If you are teaching senior high school, look for the course/subject description. For Kindergarten and ALS, you may refer to the Introduction or the description of learning strands. These portions in the curriculum guide give you a broad idea of expectations and/or expected outcomes of the learning area/course/subject. List down key words/concepts to help you remember the core learning standards. 54 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2 YES, the concept is new to me. The guiding principles or philosophy that are reflected in my teaching strategies is being c constructivist teacher. Pagkamalikhain Mapanuri Pinag kaka - ugnayang yaman Pang heograpiya  

3. Familiarize yourself with the content and performance standards. How could they help you in planning your lessons? 4. Study the curriculum matrix/guide. You will see that it contains the content standards, performance standards and learning competencies. How are the learning competencies related to the content and performance standards? Which do you think could be met in a short period of time (within a lesson) and which are expected to be attained in a longer period of time? 55 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers Content standards helps, “What do learners want to know, be able to do, and understand?” while the performance standards “how do we want them to use their learning or understanding?” This helps me in my lesson planning because they help me meet my objectives for the lesson The content standard should be met in a short period of time and the performance standard are expected to be attained in a longer period of time

Summary The Curriculum Guide provides teachers substantial guidance in implementing the K to 12 curriculum. There are seven salient features of the curriculum: Conceptual framework shows the guiding principles in which the teaching of the subject area is anchored on. Learning area standards show a learner’s expected level of proficiency in terms of the learning or subject area. Content standards are “benchmarks of knowledge and skills” as defined in DO 31 s. 2012 and answer the question: “What do learners want to know, be able to do, and understand?” Performance standards are ‘benchmarks of transfer of learning’ as defined in DO 31 s. 2012 and answers the questions: “What do we want learners to do with their learning or understanding?” and “How do we want them to use their learning or understanding?” Key stage standard shows the degree or quality of proficiency that the learner is able to demonstrate in each key stage after learning a particular learning area in relation to the core learning area standard. Grade level standard shows the degree or quality of proficiency that the learner is able to demonstrate in each grade level (grades 1- 10) Learning competencies shows the knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes that learners need to demonstrate in every lesson and/or learning activity (DepEd, 2020) 56 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Session 2: Using Curriculum Guide in Preparing Daily Lesson Log / Daily Lesson Plan Prior Knowledge Assessment Read DepEd Order No. 42 s. 2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation for the K to 12 Basic Education Program then fill in the blanks: Outstanding Results- based Very satisfactory Daily Lesson Log (DLL) Daily lesson plan (DLP) Learning area standard d. Daily Lesson Log (DLL) is a template that teachers use to log parts of their daily lesson. It covers a day’s or a week’s worth of lessons and contains the following parts: Objectives, Content, Learning Resources, Procedures, Remarks and Reflection. e. Daily lesson Plan (DLP) is a teacher’s “roadmap” for a lesson. It contains a detailed description of the steps a teacher will take to teach a particular topic. It typically contains the following parts: Objectives, Content, Learning Resources, Procedures, Remarks and Reflection. Daily lesson preparation is part of the teacher’s core function as a facilitator of learning inside the classroom. Lesson plans are considered means of verification (MOV) in DepEd’s b.Results -based P erformance Management System (RPMS). 4. Teachers must have a deep understanding of the curriculum and strive to teach its content. In planning daily lessons, teachers need to follow the f. Learning Area Standard of the learning area being taught. Using this, teachers can plan the many ways to teach what it contains including content and performance standards. 5. Newly- hired teachers who earned a rating of a. Outstanding or c. Very Satisfactory in the RPMS in a year shall no longer be required to prepare DLPs, while newly- hired teachers who earned a rating of “Satisfactory” shall still be required to prepare DLPs until such time that their RPMS assessment has improved. 57 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Key Topic 1: Learning Codes As a newly hired teacher, you are asked to make a detailed lesson plan for the subject assigned to you on the first week of the First Quarter. Your principal asked you to use the learning codes in budgeting the activities and in unpacking the learning competencies. There are things that you must consider in understanding the learning codes. Remember that: The learning code in every subject contains letters and numbers that correspond to the subject and grade level, abbreviation of the quarter title, quarter number, number of weeks and its order and competency number Example: Study the sample curriculum guide in Science.

How long do you have to teach the lesson? T wo weeks – specifically the first and second weeks of the quarter. We discussed that having two weeks allows time for introducing the topic, conducting experiments, and checking understanding through formative assessments. 3. Why do you think this particular competency will be taught in two weeks? Because this is a broad Topic We decided that the time frame allows for both theoretical and practical application, which is important for better student comprehension and engagement. 59 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Question Answer/Possible Answer Mentor- Mentee Collaborative Points 4. How will you unpack the learning competency? I will use the MELC and BOW to unpack the learning competency We decided to use a step-by-step approach, starting from concrete experiences to abstract understanding using experiments and visual aids. 5. What guides you in unpacking the learning competency? How?Why? The curriculum guide and the learning materials provided by DepEd serve as the main reference. They help ensure alignment with standards and expected outcomes. We both agreed to follow the curriculum guide closely and supplement with contextual examples to ensure learner relevance and mastery. 6. What assessment can be done at the end of the two- week lesson? A performance task like an experiment or group presentation, plus a short quiz to check understanding of the topic on Matter. We planned to use both formative and summative assessments to cover practical and theoretical understanding. Required Task 2: Complete the table As a newly hired teacher assigned in a multi-grade school, it is very important that you can easily see the relevance of the learning codes to the subject and grade level you are teaching.

Required Task 4: Yes or No Use the following checklist to self- assess your daily lesson log. GUIDE QUESTION YES NO 1. As a newly- hired teacher with 5 years of teaching experience, you can already use the DLL format in lesson preparation. / 2. Are you capable of using ICT in your classes? / 3. Are you open to collaboration with other subject teachers? / 4. Are you aware of the learning competencies that your assessments have to meet? / 5. Do your activities allow learners to organize or reorganize their thinking and construct knowledge that is meaningful to them? / Based on the questions above, determine your strengths and points for improvement. Strengths Points for Improvement I can now clearly identify the different types of speech based on their purpose and delivery. I am able to relate speech types to real-life situations such as school presentations, community programs, and online content. I am confident in recognizing which type of speech is appropriate for different daily scenarios. I improved my ability to analyze the effectiveness of a speech based on purpose and delivery. I participated in group tasks and shared insights on how speech applies to everyday communication. I need to practice organizing my thoughts better when delivering impromptu speeches. I want to build more confidence when speaking in front of the class. I should work on improving my voice projection and facial expressions to match the speech type. I need to understand better how to adjust my tone and content based on the audience. I will review more real-life examples of speeches to deepen my understanding. 67 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Summary The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum provides the curriculum guide that outlines the standards and competencies that are expected to be taught and materials teachers need to cover. Although a curriculum guide can range from very specific to a general outline, teachers from all key stages can use them for direction when planning their lessons. Each part of the curriculum guide compliments one another. By carefully studying the standards which can be attained in short and long periods of time, teachers will be able to scaffold every learning episode leading to the attainment of our goals and objectives. The key learning stage and grade level standards as well as the content standards, performance standards, and learning competencies will serve as guide or will set the direction of instruction for the whole year/in the preparation of the DLL. The knowledge of the key stage standard and grade level standards and other salient features of the cCurriculum will enable us to prepare valuable and meaningful learning activities for the learners. 68 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Reading activities Scenario Analyses Writing activities Reflections Output for Portfolio: Improving a Lesson Plan Required Resources DepEd Order no. 42 s. 2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation for the K to 12 Basic Education Program. DepEd Order no. 42 s. 2017 on The National Adoption and Implementation of the Philippine Professional Standard for Teachers 69 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Session 1: Curriculum and Instruction Alignment All teachers are expected to prepare a well- designed lesson plan to ensure its effective delivery. This is an indispensable part of the teaching process. Lesson planning allows teachers to carefully map out the activities that will transpire in his or her classroom. It should include how to develop and unravel the lesson to his or her learners. Lesson planning involves organizing what must be taught, how it will be taught and how it will be assessed. There should be an alignment between instruction and assessment. As stated in DepEd Order 8 s. 2015, Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program, once the objectives of the lesson have been identified, teachers need to prepare a formative assessment plan integrated into the lesson and aligned with the lesson objectives. Bigg’s Model of Constructive Alignment in Curriculum Design highlights the importance of proper alignment of assessment and learning objectives. From: Biggs (2003) This will serve as the guide in deter- mining the lesson content and the activities included. If the assessment mirrors the curriculum, the learners will learn what they are supposed to be learning. 70 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Required Task 1: Scenario Analysis Study the given scenario. Give your reaction based on what you have learned from this session. Scenario : Teacher Gina has been an elementary teacher for more than 15 years. She had taught all grade levels She believes that following her traditional teaching strategies is enough to indicate that the learners are learning. Question Option Feedback Teacher Gina’s experience and mastery of the subject matter showed that she is a veteran teacher. Is it advisable that lesson planning requires only the bare minimum because the focus should be placed on the actual execution of the lesson instead? Yes. Lesson plans take time to prepare. The important thing is you know the lesson and how you will deliver it. No. Lesson plans are an integral part of the instructional process. It lays out the plan for the lesson. It ensures that the lesson will be taught well. b. No. Lesson plans are an integral part of the instructional process. It lays out the plan for the lesson. It ensures that the lesson will be taught well. Even with years of experience, teachers must continuously update their lesson plans to adapt to students’ needs and modern strategies. A well-prepared lesson plan guides instruction, promotes reflection, and ensures that learning goals are effectively met. Preparing lesson plans and the actual delivery of the lesson are not connected with each other. Is this true? Yes. Lesson planning and actual delivery of the lesson are different and separate instructional procedures. No. Lesson planning and actual delivery of the lesson are interconnected with one another. b. No. Lesson planning and actual delivery of the lesson are interconnected with one another. A well-prepared lesson plan serves as the foundation for effective teaching and ensures that the delivery aligns with learning objectives. Planning and execution go hand in hand to support meaningful learning experiences for students. and showed mastery of the subject matter. She regularly submits her lesson plan but admits that she does the bare minimum in its preparation. She rarely updates and adopts to current teaching strategies and activities and does not reflect on how her learners performed. Most of her efforts are concentrated on the actual linear delivery of instruction. 71 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Question Option Feedback Teacher Gina uses the positive reaction of the pupils to measure the achievement of learning outcomes. As a teacher, should you do the same? Yes. The pupils’ positive reaction is a clear indication that they learned something. It was a favorable learning experience for them. Teacher Gina achieved her instructional goals. No. A positive reaction does not necessarily attribute to achievement of the learning goals. The lesson may be a pleasurable experience; but it does not necessarily mean that the pupils learned the intended outcomes. Lesson planning entails planning for the assessment. It goes hand in hand with the development of the lesson. A corresponding form of assessment should also be included to make sure that there is congruence. DepEd Order 8 s. 2015 provides for the guidelines on the assessment of learning outcomes. This assessment goes beyond the simple positive reaction of pupils during class instruction. Summary Lesson planning entails determining what needs to be taught, how it will be taught, and how it will be assessed. There should be consistency in both instruction and assessment. Bigg’s Model of Constructive Alignment in Curriculum Design emphasizes the significance of aligning assessment and learning objectives. This will be used as a guide to determine the lesson content and activities. If the assessment is aligned with the curriculum, the students will learn what they are supposed to learn. To ensure effective delivery, all teachers are expected to prepare a well-designed lesson plan. This is an essential component of the teaching process. Lesson planning enables teachers to meticulously plan out the activities that will take place in their classroom. It should include how he or she will develop and explain the lesson to his or her students. 72 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Session 2: Nature and Purpose of Lesson Planning Key Topic 1: Lesson Planning A lesson plan is organized, logical and developmental in nature. Teachers place a great deal of consideration on the instructional strategies that would suit the learners’ individual differences. As much as the lesson plan serves as the teachers’ guide in teaching, this should not confine them in the possibility of adjusting their instruction. There should be an element of versatility in the effective delivery of the lesson. Adjustment may happen during the actual delivery of the lesson. As long as the learning objectives are met, the adjustment will not be considered as a deviation from the actual lesson. The teacher should remain open and responsive to the needs of the learners. The use of ICT promotes learning among learners. It provides a different learning opportunity for them to showcase their knowledge and skills. The teachers’ use or integration of ICT in their lesson allows them to differentiate in class. Its use could be beneficial in terms of providing a variety of learning modality options, ease in lesson preparation, and encouraging collaboration, sportsmanship, and innovation. Lesson planning promotes reflective practice on the part of the teacher. It allows them to reflect on the activities that they will include in the lesson. It also encourages them to reflect on the learning outcomes. Required Task 1: Scenario Analysis Study the given scenario. Give your reaction based on what you have learned from this session. Teacher Rowel plans his lessons well. His lesson plan shows the detailed activities he intends to do during his actual teaching. He follows a logical sequence of activity as his lesson would unfold. He prepares instructional materials and integrates ICT. He uses engaging activities that learners find interesting. His school principal observed him during one of his classes. He conducted a short review of the previous lesson using an on- line game application. It took 10 minutes more than he planned it to be. It is evident that the class enjoyed the on- line game as a form of review. However, the scores of the learners in the review was not as high as he expected. This review is essential since the previous lesson is a prerequisite skill for the new lesson. He had given enough number of items during the review to cover all the needed competencies in preparation for the new lesson. He asked the learners if they have any questions regarding the previous lesson. When no one asked a question, he moved on to the lesson proper. He constantly asked his pupils if they understood the lesson. Everyone said yes. They got to the evaluation part of the lesson. Only 50% of the class got mastery level. Teacher Rowel was disheartened by the results. He followed everything in his lesson plan, with the exemption of a 5- minute overtime, he believes that his lesson went accordingly. 73 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Question Option Feedback Assuming that the lesson plan was well- crafted and the activities Teacher Rowel used are all appropriate, what do you think contributed to the low results of the learner evaluation? What could have been done instead? a. Yes. The pupils enjoyed the activity, which shows they were engaged. Enjoyment is enough proof that learning took place and the lesson was effective. b. No. Enjoyment and participation alone do not guarantee mastery of the lesson. Assessment results are a better indicator of whether learning goals were achieved. While engaging activities promote participation, they must be paired with meaningful assessments to measure understanding. A well-crafted lesson plan should align learning objectives with assessment strategies. According to DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015, effective assessment goes beyond enjoyment and must focus on the achievement of learning outcomes. Teacher Rowel should have checked for understanding through formative tools before proceeding with the lesson. Teacher Rowel’s use of an on- line game is an effective way to integrate ICT in his lessons. The learners appear to have been engaged in the process. Aside from the learner engagement, what other insights may be derived from his use of this activity? a. Yes. The game was enjoyable and engaging for learners. That alone is enough reason to continue using similar activities regardless of their academic outcomes. b. No. While the game was engaging, it must still be aligned with the learning objectives and assessed properly to ensure that actual learning took place. Integrating ICT, such as online games, is a strong strategy to boost engagement, but it must be thoughtfully designed to align with learning outcomes. DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 emphasizes the importance of using assessment tools that measure mastery, not just participation. Enjoyment should lead to deeper understanding, and teachers must ensure there is congruence among objectives, instruction, and assessment to maximize the effectiveness of any activity. If you were Teacher Rowel, how would you proceed based on the results of the day’s lesson? a. Yes. Since the lesson plan was followed and students enjoyed the activity, there is no need to reteach or adjust. Proceed with the next lesson as planned. b. No. Even if the activity was engaging and the plan was followed, the low mastery results indicate a need to revisit or reteach the lesson before moving forward. Effective teaching requires flexibility and responsiveness to learner performance. According to DepEd's standards on assessment and instruction, mastery of prerequisite skills is essential before introducing new content. Teacher Rowel should analyze the evaluation results, identify gaps in understanding, and provide targeted remediation or reinforcement. Proceeding without addressing the learning gaps may lead to compounded difficulties in future lessons. 74 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Evaluation Identify the living and non- living things in the pond ecosystem shown in the picture. Living Things Non- living Things b. Draw one living thing and one non- living thing found in a river ecosystem. Living Thing Non- living Thing 81 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Reflection on the Sample Lesson Plan: Moving from Assessment to Progress The sample lesson plan on the topic “Living and Non-Living Things” presents an engaging and interactive approach that encourages student participation and collaboration. The use of various strategies such as group work, visual aids, online games like Kahoot, and value formation activities reflects an effort to make the lesson enjoyable and meaningful for learners. However, upon closer reflection and based on what I have learned about the elements of a well-designed lesson plan, there are several areas where improvements can be made to enhance learning outcomes and ensure a more structured and effective lesson delivery. One of the most important elements that the sample lesson plan could improve on is the articulation of clear and measurable learning objectives . While the activities are varied and fun, the plan does not explicitly state what learners are expected to know or be able to do at the end of the lesson. Adding SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) would help both the teacher and the students stay focused and assess whether the intended learning has occurred. For instance, an objective like “By the end of the lesson, students should be able to classify five items as living or non-living and explain their characteristics” provides a clear target for the class. Another area for improvement is the inclusion of formative assessment techniques. Although group reporting and discussions are integrated into the plan, there is no mention of how the teacher will assess individual student understanding throughout the lesson. Simple strategies like short written reflections, exit tickets, or quick quizzes could be employed to check comprehension and provide timely feedback. This is crucial for ensuring that all learners are on track and that misconceptions can be addressed immediately. The plan would also benefit from incorporating differentiation strategies to meet the diverse needs of learners in the classroom. Not all students learn the same way or at the same pace. Assigning roles within groups, offering visual aids with labels for struggling readers, or allowing more time for students who need it can make the activity more inclusive. Providing extension tasks for fast finishers, such as asking them to identify living and non-living things at home, can further support differentiated instruction. Additionally, the lesson plan lacks specific time allocations for each activity. Time management is essential for smooth lesson flow and ensures that all parts of the lesson are adequately covered. Estimating how long each component will take helps the teacher stay on schedule and avoids rushing or skipping essential parts of the lesson. One positive aspect of the lesson is the value formation component , which encourages students to reflect on how they treat both living and non-living things. This helps in developing not only scientific understanding but also responsibility and empathy. To build on this strength, the teacher can assign real-life tasks or reflections that encourage students to practice these values at home or in school.

Reflection on the Sample Lesson Plan: Moving from Assessment to Progress Lastly, although a rubric is mentioned in the enrichment section, it is not clearly defined. Including a detailed rubric for group work would guide students on how their performance will be evaluated, making the expectations transparent and encouraging them to perform better during activities. In conclusion, while the sample lesson plan demonstrates creativity and student-centered teaching, it can be improved by clarifying objectives, incorporating assessment strategies, addressing learner diversity, managing time more effectively, and providing detailed rubrics. These enhancements would lead to a more structured, inclusive, and goal-oriented lesson that supports both teaching and learning. I look forward to discussing these observations with my mentor to deepen my understanding and improve my lesson planning skills as a future educator.

Required Task 3: Complete the table Regardless of what subject you teach, preparing a lesson plan helps you prepare for class by mapping a clear outline for the day. Your lesson plans do not need to be complicated or long. Most importantly, they have to effectively relay your lessons and must be tailored to how you plan to teach the material. It must also clearly define and enumerate the goals and objectives you want your learners to learn and achieve as part of the curriculum. Creating an effective lesson plan means you need to consider the flow and structure of your lessons. It is a good idea to allot some time to think about what it is you want to accomplish with this lesson plan and/or the goals you want to reach with your class. You may take notes or observe the lesson plans of other teachers if you find them interesting or effective to help improve your own. This is not really necessary every time but if you plan to continually improve your lesson plan, it is a good idea to look at many different sources. One good trick is to create an outline by initially writing it down then continually improving it as you go on. This can be helpful if you want to organize your thoughts as you create your lesson plan. Answer Key For 1- 3: Living Thing Non- living Thing Ducks, dragon flies, water weeds, frog, fish, snail, water lily, grasses Water, rock, air, sand, soil For 4- 5. Answers may vary IV. Extension: Identify living things and non- living things interacting in tropical rainforest, mangroves, and swamp ecosystems. 82 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Complete the table below. Reflect on the sample lesson plan. Choose the part that you would like to comment on and describe it on the 1 st column. Give your comment or suggestion on how that part could still be improved. Write your answers on the second column. This could also be done through an interactive group chat with colleagues. An intellectual exchange of ideas among fellow newly- hired teachers would further enrich one’s learnings. Part of the Lesson Plan Comment or Suggestion Learning Objectives Make the objectives more specific and measurable. For example, instead of “learn about living and non-living things,” use “Classify five given items as living or non-living with 100% accuracy.” Motivation / Introduction Add a question or real-life example to activate prior knowledge. For instance, ask “Can you name things in your house that are alive?” to make the topic more relatable. Instructional Activity Include more variety in strategies—such as storytelling, visual aids, or songs—to engage different types of learners. Group Activity Assign roles (leader, recorder, presenter) within the group to promote equal participation and responsibility. Assessment Add a short individual task like a worksheet or quiz to check for individual understanding—not just group outputs. 83 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Summary A lesson plan is organized, logical and developmental in nature. Lesson plans should effectively relay your lessons and they must be tailored to how you plan to teach the material. It must also clearly define and enumerate the goals and objectives you want your learners to learn and achieve as part of the curriculum. Creating an effective lesson plan means you need to consider the flow and structure of your lessons. It is a good idea to allot some time to think about what it is you want to accomplish with your lesson and/or the goals you want to reach with your class. Lesson planning promotes reflective practice on the part of the teacher. It allows them to reflect on the activities that they will include in the lesson. It also encourages them to reflect on the learning outcomes. 84 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Session 3: Parts of a Lesson Plan Key Topic 1: The Structure of a Lesson Plan DepEd Order no. 42, s. 2016 provides that a lesson plan is composed of three parts namely beginning, middle and end. The beginning part serves as the opening of the lesson. It may include activities like review and/or clarification of the previous lesson, introduction of the new lesson, establishing connection between the old and new lesson and statement of the new lesson’s objectives as a guide for the learners. These serve as startup activities that would ease the transition from the old lesson to the new. As the constructivists’ theory purports, the learners’ previous knowledge will help in acquiring new knowledge. The middle part of the lesson plan is the main part of the lesson. You may provide activities and tasks that would allow the learners to make use of their prior knowledge in constructing new ideas and meanings. It is the time when you, as the teacher, convey new information to learners as you facilitate them towards the abstraction of concepts and differentiated techniques and activities may be utilized. You are also encouraged to regularly check the learner’s understanding through feedback. The end part of the lesson plan wraps up what transpired during the lesson. It could be done through a summary or closure that reinforces and/or assesses the learners’ learning. Following the parts of the lesson plan will enable the teachers to achieve a developmentally arranged lesson plan. This would satisfy indicator 4.1.2 of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), which states that teachers shall plan, manage, and implement developmentally sequenced teaching and learning processes to meet curriculum requirements through various teaching contexts. Developmentally sequenced teaching and learning processes is defined in PPST- RPMS Module 7 as the order of activities that keeps the learners engaged in the content and purposely scaffolds learners towards achieving the lesson’s objectives by maximizing allotted time. Required Task 1: Scenario Analysis Study the given scenario. Give your reaction based on what you have learned from this session. Scenario: Teacher Edawro’s lesson plan includes the following activities: a recap and review of the previous lesson, an introduction and analysis of the new lesson, connecting the old and new lessons, and then a summary of everything. All of these are explicitly stated on his lesson plan. 85 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers Teacher Edawro’s lesson plan demonstrates a thoughtful and effective approach to teaching. By starting with a review, he activates students’ prior knowledge, making it easier for them to connect with the new lesson. The seamless transition from old to new content shows a deep understanding of how students learn best—through connection and continuity. His use of a summary at the end reinforces key concepts and ensures that learning is consolidated, making the lesson more meaningful and impactful for students.

Question Option Feedback Looking back at the activities included in Teacher Edawro’s lesson plan, would you say that they are developmentally arranged? Yes. The sequence of activities shows the gradual transition from the previous lesson connecting it to the new lesson and wrapping up all that transpired. No. Explanation of the new concept should have been done right after the introduction of the new lesson. Maybe. What a developmentally arranged lesson plan needs is to simply provide an introduction at the beginning and a closure at the end. It does not matter since all the activities are interchangeable. a. Yes. The sequence of activities shows the gradual transition from the previous lesson connecting it to the new lesson and wrapping up all that transpired. The sequence of activities in Teacher Edawro’s lesson plan is developmentally arranged because it follows a logical flow of learning—from reviewing prior knowledge, introducing and analyzing a new concept, connecting the old and new lessons, to summarizing the entire discussion. This gradual progression supports how students learn best: starting from what they already know, building new knowledge, and then reinforcing it through reflection or summary. It promotes better understanding and retention of the lesson. Teacher Edawro has a series of activities in his lesson plan. Which part of the lesson plan refers to the main part of the lesson? introduction of the new lesson establishing connection between the old and new lesson presentation and explanation of the new concept of the day’s lesson d.checking of learners’ understanding c. presentation and explanation of the new concept of the day’s lesson This part of the lesson plan is considered the main part because it is where the teacher delivers the core content or concept that students are expected to learn. It involves detailed explanation, demonstrations, and guided practice, making it the central focus of the day’s learning objectives. The other parts support the lesson, but this is where the actual teaching and deeper understanding happen. The last activity in Teacher Edawro’s lesson plan included a summary of what was taught. Considering that ample time and energy had been exerted towards the discussion, why do you think he still included a summary? It is a form of wrap- up activity that provides closure for the day’s lesson. It allows learners to synthesize everything that they learned. It gives a useful recap of the entire lesson that helps remind and refresh learners. All of the above d. All of the above Including a summary at the end of the lesson is important because it serves multiple purposes. It acts as a wrap-up activity that provides closure, allowing students to mentally organize what they’ve learned. It also helps learners synthesize key concepts , making connections clearer and more meaningful. Lastly, it functions as a recap that reinforces learning and supports retention, especially for students who may need a second look at the day’s content. 86 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Key Topic 2: Lesson Planning in the Public School Context Lesson plans set the foresight of the teacher into the dynamics of learning in the classroom. An accomplished lesson plan signifies that a teacher is prepared to respond to different learning needs. Format- wise, lesson plans vary from pre- service models, institutional prescriptions, and DepEd’s reforms. In the public school system, the daily lesson log is recommended to seasoned teachers while the Daily Lesson Plan (DLP) is required to new teachers 1 . 1 DO No. 70. s. 2012 – Guidelines on the Preparation of Daily Lessons.” (Department of Education, 2012), Important Parts of a DLL and DLP DLP DLL Objectives – goal of the lesson Subject Matter – a particular topic Procedure – set of activities that unpack the lesson Assessment – a tool which determines a learner’s grasp of a lesson Assignment – activities that reinforce a lesson or introduce a new topic Lesson – topic based on the teacher’s manual Learners’ Material – resources, worksheets, exact page numbers of resources Remarks – report on learners’ mastery level Other activities – interventions for those who did not understand the lesson According to the DepEd order no. 42 s. 2016, “teachers who have been in the service for more than two (2) years, private school experience included, shall not be required to prepare a detailed lesson plan (DLPs). They may adopt their Daily Lesson Logs (DLLs).” 4 87 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Required Task 2: True or False Read the DepEd order no. 42 s. 2016 and based on your understanding of it, identify whether the following scenarios are TRUE or FALSE. Question Option Feedback 1. Teacher Roger is a veteran teacher with 21 years of teaching experience. He claims that lesson logs are only for new teachers in the field. He also contends that he should be exempted from submitting a DLL. FALSE All teachers, including veteran ones like Teacher Roger, are required to prepare and submit a Daily Lesson Log (DLL) as stated in DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016. Lesson planning ensures consistent and effective teaching aligned with curriculum standards. 2. Teacher Cecile is a newly- hired teacher in the public schools system. Before this, she was a teacher for 4 years in a private school. Her mentor instructed her to follow the DLL format in preparing for her lessons. TRUE According to DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016, newly-hired teachers—regardless of prior teaching experience in private schools—are required to use the Daily Lesson Log (DLL) format. This ensures consistency and helps mentors effectively guide them during their adjustment period in the public school system. 3. In a mentoring session with a Master Teacher, Teacher Phoebe was told that lessons should be consistent with the curriculum guide and the teacher’s manual. TRUE DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016 emphasizes that lesson planning must be aligned with the Curriculum Guide and the Teacher’s Guide or Manual to ensure standard-based, coherent, and effective instruction. This helps teachers deliver lessons that meet the learning competencies set by the Department of Education. 4. In a DLL, other activities do not include intervention and enrichment activities. FALSE In a DLL, other activities should include intervention and enrichment to cater to learners who need remediation or additional challenges. This ensures that diverse learning needs are addressed, as required by DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016. 5. For DLL, remarks indicate the learners’ mastery level. TRUE In the DLL, the remarks section is used to reflect learners’ mastery level , which helps teachers identify who may need reinforcement, remediation, or enrichment activities. This supports effective planning and responsive instruction. 88 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Key Topic 3: Considerations for Lesson Preparation and Teaching a. Inclusion of ICT – in its non- prescriptive suggestions, PPST Resource Package Module 9 cites the importance of ICT platforms in 21st century learning. 2 Technology utilization means that learning mimics the heavily- digital demands of the world. In 2016, the United Nations declared internet access as a basic human right. However, ICT is not the end goal of instruction since it still relies on the need of the curriculum and the resources of the school. The use of ICT has to be strategic enough to aid in the achievement of learning outcomes. b. Exploring collaborations – in the classroom setting, teamwork is emphasized as a 21 st century skill, as such, there is sustained use of collaborative activities. How might the same collaboration be practiced by teachers in preparing lessons? LAC session is a rich collegial platform to initiate a dialogue that may enrich lessons because of trends in education, best practices/experience, and distinct perspectives. c. Learner- centered activities – part of K to 12’s Curriculum is the emphasis on Constructivism where learners are given the opportunity to organize or reorganize their thinking and construct knowledge that is meaningful to them. This also frames the teacher as a facilitator rather than a sage on the stage. Learner- centered activities do not mean a teacher’s complete absence but a reconfiguration of one’s purpose in providing solid feedback for learners. 2 PPST Resource Package Module 9 by Department of Education Teacher Education Council (p.21). d. Assuring Assessments – PPST Resource Package Module 7 echoes the crucial role of assessments in both preparations and actual process of teaching. 3 Assessments are a security blanket for both teacher and learner because it shows the tangible impact of a lesson. It will inform decisions whether a re- teaching or other kinds of intervention is necessary. Types of assessment in the public school system includes written work (quizzes), performance task, and periodic examination – all of which should always be aligned to the learning competencies. 3 PPST Resource Package Module 7 by Department of Education Teacher Education Council (p.10). 89 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Required Task 3: Case Analysis Help the following teachers use ICT in their teaching process by suggesting the best platform to deliver their lesson. Question Option Feedback 1. Teacher Cindy is a Math teacher in Grade 6. She hopes to make her computation activities more interactive using technology. What platform can you suggest to Teacher Cindy? GeoGebra GeoGebra is an excellent platform for Grade 6 Math teachers like Teacher Cindy because it allows learners to explore mathematical concepts through interactive visualizations, simulations, and dynamic computations . It enhances student engagement and understanding, especially in topics involving numbers, geometry, and algebra, by making abstract concepts more concrete and hands-on. 2. Teacher Earl wants to avoid using social media as a way to announce his academic instruction. He intends to use this platform for virtual class activities. What platform can you suggest to Teacher Earl? google Classroom Google Classroom is a great platform for Teacher Earl because it is designed specifically for education and not tied to social media 3. Teacher Genneth intends to present mathematical concepts using slides. Considering logistical constraints, she prefers an offline file to do this task. What platform can you suggest to Teacher Genneth? Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft PowerPoint is ideal for Teacher Genneth because it allows her to create and present slides offline , making it suitable for settings with limited internet access. It also supports visual aids, animations, and embedded videos or audio, which can help her explain mathematical concepts more clearly and effectively. 4. Teacher Demmy is a literature teacher who wishes to visualize book characters in three- dimensional representation. What platform can you suggest to Teacher Demmy? Tinkercad Tinkercad is a user-friendly platform that allows Teacher Demmy to create 3D models of book characters, making literature lessons more engaging and interactive. It encourages creativity and helps students visualize characters, settings, or scenes from the story in a fun and meaningful way. 5. Teacher Carissa plans to give a synchronous lecture to her Grade 6 learners. However, their context would not allow them to have face to face classes. What platform can you suggest to Teacher Carissa? Zoom Zoom is a reliable platform for Teacher Carissa to conduct synchronous online classes , especially when face-to-face learning is not possible. It supports live video sessions, screen sharing, breakout rooms, and interactive tools like polls and chat, making it ideal for real-time teaching and learner engagement in a virtual setting. 90 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Key Topic 4: Assessment DepEd Order no. 8 s. 2015 defines Assessment as a continuous process of “identifying, gathering, organizing, and interpreting quantitative and qualitative information about what learners know and can do.” There are two types of assessments, formative and summative. Formative assessments are continuous ways of evaluation that are closely related to the learning process such as homework, quizzes, projects, and presentations. On the other hand, summative assessments are used to assess whether students have learned the requisite skills and knowledge and are given at the end of a unit, period or year. Summative assessments can also be utilized to gauge the effectiveness of the teaching process. Assessments are often used in both classroom and large- scale settings for three broad reasons: to aid learning, to assess individual success, and to evaluate programs. The purpose of an assessment determines priorities, and the context of use imposes constraints on the design (National Research Council, 2001). As a result, it is critical to understand that one form of evaluation does not suit all kinds of learners. Any assessment, regardless of its intent, is built on three pillars: a model of how students represent information and gain expertise in the subject domain, tasks or circumstances that enable one to observe students’ results, and an interpretation framework for drawing inferences from the performance evidence thus obtained. Different kinds of assessment shares common principles. One such principle is that assessment is always a process of reasoning from evidence (National Research Council, 2001). One must understand the learners’ needs and current learning conditions in order to support their learning. To guide you in unpacking formative assessment, you need to ask the three essential questions: (1) where are the learners going? (2) where are the learners now and what do they already know? and (3) how do the learners get there? It would also be helpful if you consider your role as the teacher, the role of the peers, and the role of the learners in addressing these questions. Thinking of “where the learners are going?”, the learning intentions must be clear to both you as the teacher, and also your learners. In asking “where are the learners now and what they already know”, you may design a plan to gather evidence of learning via discussions, tasks, and activities. You may do a diagnostic test. And to facilitate the learners on “how to get there”, it is important that you provide feedback that would move the learners forward. In consideration of the roles of the peers and your learners, it will be beneficial to emphasize how they can learn from each other and that they are the owners of their own learning. Learning assessment as part of the lesson plan supports the role of the teachers indicated in Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) that good teachers are vital to raising student achievement, i.e., quality learning is contingent upon quality teaching. PPST’s Domain 5 on Assessment and Reporting specifically relates to processes associated with a variety of assessment tools and strategies used by teachers in monitoring, evaluating, documenting and reporting learners’ needs, progress and achievement. You, as a teacher, can do paper and pen tests, but there are limitations to this form of assessment. You are encouraged to do other forms of assessments -- such as presentations, portfolios, performances, exhibits and fairs, debates, etc. that would develop 21st century skills among your learners. Indeed, there are a variety of ways to gather assessment data to inform and enhance the teaching and learning process and programs. Thus, it is imperative to take note that learning assessment should be well planned to achieve 91 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

meaningful learning that aids the learners’ performance. DepEd Order no. 31, s. 2020 reiterated that the assessment policy is grounded on the following principles: 1. assessment should be holistic and authentic in capturing the attainment of the learning competencies; 2. assessment is integral for understanding the student learning and development; 3. a variety of assessment strategies is necessary, with formative assessment taking priority to inform teaching and promote growth and mastery; 4. assessment and feedback should be a shared responsibility among teachers, learners, and their families; and 5. assessment and grading should have a positive impact on learning. Thus, DepEd pursues continuity of learning considering that assessment and grading meaningfully support the learner development and respond to varied context. Required Task 5: Scenario Analysis Study the given scenario. Give your reaction based on what you have learned from this session. Teacher Gemma gives 4 ungraded quizzes in each unit of study. The quizzes are framed sequentially to have an accumulated record of student success on the unit test. The quizzes are scored (though not included in the unit grade) so that students can identify where they need more study and where they are already successful. This is an indicator that Teacher Gemma can gauge where she will need to spend more time and energy with her instruction to help students be successful on the unit test. Using this approach, Teacher Gemma has been able to document significant gains in student achievement in her classroom, nearly closing the achievement gap entirely with 95% - 98% achievement ratings in all of her units of study. 92 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Question Option Feedback As indicated in the practice of Teacher Gemma, what do you think contributed to the significant achievement of the learners? Teacher Gemma’s use of regular ungraded quizzes allowed learners to practice and reflect on their learning without the pressure of grades. This approach reduces test anxiety and promotes mastery learning, where students improve based on feedback rather than performance pressure. Teacher Gemma gives ungraded quizzes and keeps a record of the student’s success on the unit test. The quizzes are scored but not included in the unit grade. What can be deduced from this activity? The quizzes serve as formative assessments to monitor progress and guide instruction rather than summative evaluation. It shows that assessment is being used as a learning tool, not just as a grading mechanism, which helps students focus on understanding. The scenario gives us an idea of a formative assessment plan, what other ways to achieve growth in the learners’ performance? Other methods include peer assessment, self-assessment, reflection journals, learning logs, and project-based tasks. These strategies help learners become more aware of their progress and encourage active involvement in their own learning. Teacher Gemma would like to gauge how far the students’ learning of the topic can be extended. She decided to give an alternative assessment. What alternative assessment can she give her students? What must one keep in mind and make sure to do when giving such alternative assessments? She can use performance tasks such as creating a concept map, conducting an experiment, or presenting a real-life application. Ensure the criteria are clear and aligned with learning goals. Alternative assessments should measure higher-order thinking skills and provide opportunities for students to demonstrate understanding in authentic ways. Rubrics must be used to guide and assess the work. 93 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Summary DepEd Order 42 s. 2016 states that planning lessons is fundamental in ensuring the delivery of teaching and learning in school. It affirms the role of the teacher as a facilitator of learning. The learning plan should be developmentally arranged. This could be done by ensuring the logical flow of activities included in the beginning, middle, and end part of the lesson plan. Congruency of the learning objectives, learning activities, and learning assessment in consonance with the Model of Constructive Alignment ensures that the flow of the lesson has congruence in all parts. PPST indicator 4.1.2 requires a teacher to plan, manage, and implement developmentally sequenced teaching and learning processes to meet curriculum requirements through various teaching contexts. This may be achieved by preparing a well- planned lesson. The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum provides the curriculum guide that outlines the standards and competencies that are expected to be taught and materials teachers need to cover. Although a curriculum guide can range from very specific to a general outline, teachers from all key stages can use them for direction when planning their lessons. Each part of the curriculum guide compliments one another. By carefully studying the standards which can be attained in short and long periods of time, teachers will be able to scaffold every learning episode leading to the attainment of the goals and objectives. The key learning stage and grade level standards as well as the content standards, performance standards, and learning competencies will serve as guide or will set the direction of instruction for the whole year/in the preparation of the DLL. The knowledge of the key stage standard and grade level standards and other salient features of the curriculum will enable us to prepare valuable and meaningful learning activities for the learners. DepEd Order 8 s. 2015 encapsulates the policy guidelines on classroom assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program. DepEd pursues continuity of learning considering that assessment and grading meaningfully support the learner development and respond to varied context through DepEd Order no. 31, s. 2020. It is critical for each teacher to evaluate and grade in ways that will most effectively promote learner growth and react to a variety of situations. 94 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Module 4 – Implementing Learning Plans and Enriching Teaching Practice Intended Module Learning Outcome By the end of the module, you should be able to select, develop, organize, and use appropriate teaching and learning resources to address learning goals (4.5.2). Module Outline Session 1: Class Disruptions Session 2: Curriculum Requirements and Needs of Learners Session 3: Selecting, Developing, Organizing, and Using Appropriate Learning Resources Required Tasks Case Analysis Scenario Activities Article reading Self-reflective activities Estimated Time Required: 1 hour Required Resources DepEd Order No. 109 s. 2009 on Make- Up Classes for Lost School Days DepEd Order No. 43 s. 2012 on Guidelines on the Implementation of Executive Order No. 66 (Prescribing Rules on the Cancellation or Suspension of Classes and Work in Government due to Typhoons, Flooding Other Weather Disturbances, and Calamities. DepEd Order No. 1 s. 1991 on Guidelines for the Implementation of the Education Sector Contingency Plans for all Levels 95 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Session 1 – Class Disruptions Prior Knowledge Assessment: True or False: Determine whether the following statements are true or false. Question Option Feedback 1. The successive local typhoons such as the Ondoy (2009) and Pepeng (2013) caused a major blow to the school calendar. According to existing DepEd protocols, the course of action of every school is to start make-up class which will be derived from Saturdays within the school calendar and vacations from months of October, November, and December. TRUE This is aligned with DepEd protocols requiring schools to conduct make-up classes when instructional days are lost due to natural calamities. 2. In times of security threats such as foreign wars that may inevitably affect the Philippines, the education department mandates that learning has to stop in order to prioritize the safety of learners. TRUE Ensuring the safety of learners is always the top priority in crisis situations, and temporary suspension of classes is part of emergency response. 3. Home- based learning is a new format of instructional delivery after the 2020 pandemic. TRUE The COVID-19 pandemic introduced and normalized home-based or distance learning as an alternative to face-to-face instruction. 4. When PAGASA raises Signal Number 2, classes in the secondary level are suspended. TRUE According to DepEd guidelines, classes in secondary levels are suspended when Signal No. 2 is raised. 5. In case of calamities where learners are deeply affected, the school suggests that they forgo the school year’s remainder and focus on rehabilitation. TRUE In extreme cases, education agencies allow focus on recovery and well-being, especially when trauma or loss significantly affects learners. 96 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Key Topic 1: Modular Approach A modular approach in delivering learning does not directly equate to classroom based paces, in effect, adjustments have to be made to balance learning and a learner’s environment. For instance, communities under post- calamity rehabilitation necessitate a module that uses minimal or no technological interventions. For the case of COVID- 19 time learning, DepEd immediately provided Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) which ensure the attainment of standards for reduced contact time. The MELCs will enable the Department to focus instruction to the most indispensable competencies that the learners will acquire, as we anticipate challenges in learning delivery. In case of shifts to modular learning modality, the teachers must have a full grasp of the following principles of module writing: 1. Alignment to the curriculum – modules in the context of classroom disruption forms a compromise between the minimum requirement of a curriculum. You should always bear in mind that your modules have to meet standards so that learners may gain the expected competencies necessary for promotion. 4 4 Susan Toohey, Designing Courses for Higher Education (Buckingham: Society for Research into Higher Education and Open University Press, 1999), 1. 4 University College London, “Module Design Using ABC curriculum design,” last modified August 1, 2019, https://www.ucl.ac.uk/teach - ing-learning/publications/2019/aug/module-design-using-abc- curric- ulum- design . Nature of the Subject – Since modules are constructed on the basis that they are accomplished outside classroom premises, you should consider the unique demand of your subject. For instance, senior high school subjects include immersion which cannot easily be transmuted into a module because it demands hands on application of learning. Science subjects might need laboratory facilities which are not easily present in a normal residence. 5 Resources – While 21 st century education gives you a pool of choices to deliver a lesson, there are certain limitations that you have to consider for yourself as a teacher and for your learners. For example, not everyone has internet connectivity or not all educational websites are free of charge. These realities have to be considered in drafting the module. As a public school teacher, the least you want to have is a learner left behind because of lack of resources. 4. Realistic assessments – As learning does not take place in a classroom, there are limited interventions you can do to address individual learner’s needs. Modular approach also means that you are not present when an assessment is taken. Thus, you have to devise an assessment tool that fits the context of a learner and at the same time respond to curriculum standards. However, a modular approach does not mean you cannot be innovative and creative in exploring a learner’s depth of learning. 5 97 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Required Task 1: Case Analysis Identify which of the following scenarios respond to certain considerations in crafting the module. Question Option Feedback 1. Teacher a public school teacher in Batangas, is teaching graphic representation of statistical data through Microsoft Excel. As an innovative teacher, she has been recognized by the school as tech- savvy. Her module particularly revolves around the activities that need the software. However, her learners have limited access to a computer as their town is located in a far-flung area. What is the best module principle which you could share with Teacher Ana? Contextualization and Accessibility While technology integration is commendable, modules must be responsive to the learners’ context. Since the students have limited access to computers, Teacher Ana should provide alternative activities that can be done manually (e.g., hand-drawn graphs, use of mobile apps if available, or real-life data collection and visualization). This ensures equity and promotes inclusive learning . 2. Teacher is an experienced teacher in a private school who recently entered the public school system. As a Business Math teacher, she designed a module that takes much time on tasking learners to construct a miniature business plant, a task which does not meet curriculum standards. What consideration do you think is Teacher missing out? Alignment with Learning Competencies and Standards The task doesn’t meet curriculum standards. Teacher _____ should design activities that directly support Business Math learning goals. 3. Teacher has been teaching oral communications for five years. In constructing his module for the subject, he assigned an entire module for pronunciation which is aligned to the most essential learning competencies. In his graded summative assessment, he asked the learners to list down 100 words with synonyms and antonyms. In this regard, what module principle should he revisit? Constructive Alignment Between Objectives, Learning Activities, and Assessment The assessment task doesn’t match the module’s focus. He should use an assessment that evaluates pronunciation, not vocabulary. 4. Teacher is a PE teacher. He also advocates that PE subjects must be retained even during home- based learning schemes. While he cannot teach dance the way he did, he provided modules with visual representations so learners can easily follow the routine. He also added a video presentation for those who have internet connectivity. What principle of module writing did Teacher apply best? Consideration of Learners' Context and Accessibility Teacher _____ adapted his module to different learning setups by using visuals and videos. This ensures learning remains inclusive, even with limited resources. 98 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Required Task 2: Scenario Activity Advise a Colleague: Below are scenarios where teachers need advice on. Write your advice based on the DepEd’s institution protocols, guiding principles of module writing, and the mission to continue learning. Limit your responses to five (5) sentences. 1. Teacher was asked to write a module on entrepreneurship. Since the expected learning modality is home- based, she is having a hard time going about the module because its subject requires community immersion of business concepts. On a regular school year, entrepreneurship learners are asked to sell in school fairs but this year all extra- curricular activities are cancelled. 2. Teacher is tasked to write a module for Grade 10 Mathematics. As an experienced teacher, content is not a problem for him anymore. He has a bank of assessments and activities that are time-tested. Despite these factors, he worries about the fact that his assessments are prone to leakage and cheating which may result in problematic learning outcomes. 99 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers Teacher _____ is encouraged to adapt the module by designing activities that are doable within the home and local environment. According to DepEd’s Learning Continuity Plan, modules must be flexible and responsive to learners' diverse contexts. Since physical selling is not possible, she may include alternative tasks such as online product proposals, budgeting, or marketing plans using available tools. The module should focus on core entrepreneurial concepts rather than requiring physical immersion. By aligning tasks with MELCs and ensuring accessibility, Teacher _____ upholds the goal of uninterrupted and inclusive education. Teacher _____ is advised to redesign assessments to focus on higher-order thinking skills rather than recall-based tasks. DepEd encourages the use of performance-based and authentic assessments that allow learners to apply concepts in real-life contexts, making cheating less likely. Instead of standard quizzes, he may incorporate reflection tasks, real-world problem-solving, or project-based outputs. Assessments should also include clear rubrics to guide both teachers and learners. By doing this, he strengthens the validity of learning outcomes while aligning with DepEd’s principle of quality and integrity in distance education.

3. Riza is a learner in a far flung province. Sadly, their town was severely hit by a typhoon which badly affected her family’s livelihood. To recover from the calamity, Riza was asked by her parents to stop going to school so she can help in the family’s rebuilding process – an advice she resents but is inclined to accept. She informs her adviser Mrs. Reyes about her situation. What help can Mrs. Reyes extend to Riza? Summary The following are some essential questions in making modules. Alignment to the Curriculum Does your module meet the essential learning competencies set by the curriculum Nature of the Subject Does your module consider the unique demands of your subject? Resources Does your module consider the material limitations both of the learners and the teacher? Realistic Assessments Does your module prescribe assessments that match the topic and the learning competencies of the subject? 100 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2 Mrs. Reyes can refer Riza to the school’s Child Protection or Learner Support Team to explore flexible learning options. Under DepEd’s policy, learners affected by calamities may be placed under modular distance learning or an adjusted learning plan to help them continue schooling at their own pace. She may also coordinate with the local barangay or LGU to access support services or educational aid for Riza’s family. Mrs. Reyes should affirm Riza’s desire to continue learning and assure her that school can adjust to her situation. This compassionate response upholds DepEd’s mission to provide inclusive and accessible education for all , especially during crises.

Session 2 – Curriculum Requirements and Needs of Learners Prior Knowledge Assessment: True or False: Based on your knowledge as a newly- hired teacher, determine whether the following statements are true or false. Question Option Feedback 1. A diagnostic assessment is a tool taken at the end of the lesson to know what the learners learned. FALSE Diagnostic assessment is given before instruction to identify learners’ prior knowledge and skills. 2. Learning competencies serve as the minimum requirements which a learner must achieve for promotion to the next grade level. TRUE Learning competencies set the essential skills and knowledge learners must master to progress to the next grade. 3. Reinforcements are activities/responses that encourage a learner to continue one’s affirmative behavior. TRUE Reinforcement strengthens positive behavior by encouraging its repetition through rewards or feedback. 4. Enrichment activities are given to learners who have difficulty in learning so that they may be able to cope with the lesson. FALSE Enrichment activities are designed for learners who mastered the lesson early , not for those struggling. Those who need help receive intervention or remediation . 5. DepEd offers free remedial classes for those learners who did not meet the learning competencies. TRUE DepEd provides remedial or intervention programs to help learners meet the required competencies without additional cost. 101 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers

Key Topic 1: Meeting Learners Needs The phrase “no one left behind” along with “education for all” has been long standing thrusts of the DepEd. This thematic consistency informs you that the public school system is serious in its mandate to ensure that every learner gets the chance to have access to quality education. Having a reliable education for all is a primary investment of the Philippines to have a secure future based on its competent citizens. While the end goal of education is to form productive citizens for nation building, the baseline of achieving this is when learners meet the learning standards fit for their grade level. As a new teacher in the Department of Education, you have to be acquainted with a diverse class composition. In fact, it makes the teaching profession exciting because there are new insights and experiences everyday which you can gain. However, it is also in diversity that challenges take place. In a class, learners do not have equal skills or levels of preparation. Some learners may be interested in your class, while some may not. Some may be quick in grasping new lessons, some may have difficulty. Harvard professor Howard Gardner would call these multiple intelligences. By and large, it is crucial that they meet or even exceed the expectations of the curriculum. Differentiating the Learning Process: Diagnostic test, reinforcement, remedial classes, and enrichment The previous activity tells us that learners have different strengths in which they can grasp a lesson. For instance, classes in Filipino or English may be easier for learners with linguistic and verbal strengths compared to those with bodily- kinesthetic intelligence. The point is to empower the learner to reach the minimum standards of the curriculum, or if possible, surpass it. These learning competencies are crucial because they set the necessary skills as the learner advances or gets promoted. Also, these learning skills deem to match the demand of the real world which every learner has to confront. d. Remedial – According to Tan (2018), remedial programs “give learners more time to work on their problems toward the desired learning outcome.” As a corrective intervention, it may also serve as a “building block” to prepare them to the next lesson. 4 Based on existing DepEd protocols, remedial activities are necessary to uncover the potential of a learner. 1 Jessica Hoth, “Diagnostic Tests” in The SAGE Encyclopedia Here are some interventions which will allow the learners to meet the required learning competencies of the curriculum: a. Diagnostic tests - function as a way to assess the criteria, teaching, and learning which will take place in a classroom. Since it examines a learner’s learning characteristics with respect to knowledge, motivation, and learning difficulties, you can use this test to inform your judgment in helping the learners reach or exceed curricular requirements. 1 b. Reinforcement – is a system of affirmation for a learner’s learning progress. More than an apparent reward, it gives a signal to a learner that he/she is doing good and that he should carry on. This intervention allows a learner to cement progress throughout the learning process. 2 c. Enrichment – are activities, tasks, or special assignments that challenge a learner to improve their grasp of a lesson. This type of learner engagement assures that a learner’s knowledge of the lesson deepens. It may also provide a prelude to the next lesson which is related to the previous one. 3 of Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation , ed.

Key Topic 1: The Importance of Instructional Materials Instructional materials are vital in the learning process. They provide a tangible representation of the concepts that our lessons wish to articulate. They stimulate learners’ senses to better understand a concept in its various dimensions. For instance, in biology classes, the teacher would bring rubber or plastic representations of the digestive system to better illustrate its function in the human body. This anchors to the theory of an American educator Edgar Dale’s cone of experience which points out how more senses engaged in a lesson assures retention. Thus, instructional materials such as multidimensional presentations provide an experience which makes learning more meaningful. The photo is taken from: https://elearningindustry.com/cone- of- experience-what- really- is 108 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Required Task 1: Scenario Analysis Identify whether the following scenarios demonstrate passive or active learning based on the Dale’s Cone of Experience. Question Option Feedback 1. Teacher Kara is teaching art history for Grade 12 learners. Since her school is situated in Manila, she asked her learners to visit the Manila Metropolitan Museum and the National Museum of Fine Arts. Passive Learning Active Learning Active Learning Teacher Kara’s activity involves direct experience through museum visits, which is an example of active learning based on Dale’s Cone of Experience. Learners engage in real-world exploration, making the learning process more participatory and meaningful. 2. Teacher Jocelyn is teaching physical education. The curriculum included the basic orientation of sports management. In this regard, she made her learners organize mini- intramurals. Passive Learning Active Learning Active Learning Organizing mini-intramurals allows learners to actively participate and apply what they learned in a real-life context, aligning with the "doing the real thing" level of Dale’s Cone of Experience. Ask ChatGPT 3. Teacher Trina is teaching the elements of drama. After giving a fifteen-minute lecture, she directed the learners to form an improvisation where they are expected to play as actors. When the activity ended, she processed their insights and experiences about improvisation. Passive Learning Active Learning Active Learning Teacher Trina’s approach engages learners in hands-on performance and reflection , both of which promote active participation and experiential learning based on Dale’s Cone of Experience. 4. Before going to actual teaching, pre-service teachers watch demonstration teachings to witness how a teacher is expected to manage a class. Afterwards, they are asked to write a reflection paper about what they learned from the demonstration. Passive Learning Active Learning Passive Learning While the reflection paper encourages some processing, the primary mode of learning— watching a demonstration —falls under passive learning in Dale’s Cone of Experience, as learners are not directly involved in the action. 5. Teacher Carissa organized a literary festival where learner- writers will have a creative writing workshop. In the workshop, they are expected to state their own creative process and how they translate it to their work. Guest experts critique their works in response. Passive Learning Active Learning Active Learning The learners are directly engaged in creating original content, reflecting on their own creative process, and receiving real-time feedback from experts—this involvement and hands-on experience places the activity in the active learning category based on Dale’s Cone of Experience.

Key Topic 2: Criteria in Selecting and Developing Instructional Materials Being Strategic in Choosing and Developing Learning Materials 21 ST century pedagogy is blessed with rich sources of instructional materials. However, the challenge is how to sift through an overwhelming number of choices. Below are criteria that will allow you to distinguish whether your instructional material is appropriate for the class. 1. Alignment to the curriculum – The main objective of any instructional material is to effectively deliver learning competencies. Thus, it should be both purposive and strategic. Even if the learning material is impressively striking, it will still be lacking if it does not deepen learners’ grasp of the lesson. For instance, there are cases when the teacher would begin the class with dancing as an energizer even if it does not match the objects of the class. The point is even energizers can be devised purposively to fit to the class. 2. Developmentally appropriate – It requires that the instructional material has to be according to the age of the learners. There might be words, contexts, and references which learners or pupils at certain ages might easily comprehend. Thus, it is best to know the target audience of the material. 3 . Effects on classroom management – Aside from being learning tools, instructional materials can also establish focus and eventually classroom management. For instance, Dr. Spencer Kagan’s take on cooperative learning shows you how certain learning materials can both aid learning and manage classroom behavior. 5 6 7 5 Spencer Kagan, Kagan Cooperative Learning (California: Kagan Publishing, 2009), 1.7 4 . Inclusivity – Armed with important international documents such as Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education and Education 2030 Framework for Action, United Nations, Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) gives emphasis on “inclusion and equity” as foundations of quality education. 6 Important considerations for inclusions are “sex, ethnicity, language, religion, nationality, economic condition, and ability.” This means that instructional materials should be sensitive in dealing with diversity. 5. Localization – Aside from inclusion, UNESCO has also been at the forefront of advocating the localization of curriculum. This means that instructional materials have to be reflective of the learners’ environment. In this way, concepts no matter how universal may they seem is made tangible because it is close to their reality. The institution declares, “local culture is an integral part of the curriculum.” 7 In this case, you might want to look into your school’s immediate environment to search for appropriate instructional materials. 110 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course 2

Required Task 2: Case Analysis Based on the following scenarios, determine what instructional material criterion do the following teachers strongly demonstrate. Question Option Feedback 1. Teacher Aaron is a Grade 4 Science teacher. He found a National Geographic educational video that features the concept of predation.

Alignment to the curriculum Developmentally Appropriate Effects on classroom management Inclusive b. Developmentally Appropriate Teacher Aaron chose an instructional material suited to the age and cognitive level of his Grade 4 learners. By using a cartoon version, he ensured the content would be more relatable, engaging, and understandable for young children, which supports effective learning. 2. Teacher Pauline teaches Grade 7 Filipino. She uses comic strips to ease out the difficulty of reading Ibong Adarna. In this way, learners are more empowered to meet learning objectives. Alignment to the curriculum Developmentally Appropriate Effects on classroom management Inclusive a. Alignment to the curriculum Teacher Pauline’s use of comic strips aligns with the curriculum by presenting the required literary piece, Ibong Adarna , in a more accessible format. This strategy supports learners in achieving the learning objectives while maintaining the integrity of the subject matter. Ask ChatGPT 3. Teacher Christian teaches Grade 5 Math. He noticed that his learners are anxious in solving word problems. Hence, he uses an interactive board where learners can be playful while doing their computations. Developmentally Appropriate Effects on classroom management Inclusive Localization a. Developmentally Appropriate Teacher Christian’s use of an interactive board considers the developmental stage of his Grade 5 learners by making math less intimidating and more engaging. This approach matches their cognitive and emotional needs, helping reduce anxiety and making learning more effective. 4. Teacher John is teaching Grade 4 English. He always makes it a point to represent diverse Philippine ethnicities in his visual aids. Developmentally Appropriate Effects on classroom management Inclusive Localization c. Inclusive Teacher John demonstrates inclusivity by representing diverse Philippine ethnicities in his visual aids. This promotes cultural awareness, respect, and a sense of belonging among all learners, especially those from underrepresented groups. 5. Teacher Ram teaches entrepreneurship in a mango- producing town. He takes the opportunity of their place to challenge the learners to invent or innovate mango- based products that would showcase both their town and their business skills. Developmentally Appropriate Effects on classroom management Inclusive = Localization d. Localization Teacher Ram applies localization by using the local context—mango production—as a learning springboard. This makes the lesson more meaningful and relevant to the learners' lives, enhancing engagement and real-world application of skills. 111 Guide for Mentors and Newly Hired Teachers
