8 NAME THAT COLOR!
9 Say the COLOR , not the word !
10 GREEN For example, you should say “red” when this word is shown: and “pink” when this word is shown: BLUE
11 YELLOW BLUE RED BLUE VIOLET ORANGE PINK BLACK BROWN YELLOW
12 I’ve SCENE this before!
13 Let’s GET READY! Form a group with eight to nine members. Each group will receive Worksheet 1. Discuss among your group six to ten challenges you encountered in the implementation of the 2016 Curriculum. Make sure you cover: Curriculum Design, Curriculum Standards, Learning Competencies, Pedagogy, Assessment, and other challenges (please specify).
14 You will be given only 10 minutes to discuss. After 10 minutes, you will be given a specific name that would signify the area of concern you will represent. Once the group has its group name, 15 minutes shall be allotted to plan how you would “execute” or “act out” the challenge without verbalizing it. Let’s GET READY!
15 After 15 minutes, we shall ask for volunteers; otherwise, a group will be assigned. Each group shall be given only two minutes to act out the challenges. After two minutes, the facilitator will say, “freeze,” then the audience will guess the challenge depicted. Then for one minute, the group will explain how they resolved the issue. Let’s GET READY!
16 IT’S DISCUSSION TIME!
17 PLAN, PLAN, PLAN!
18 I’VE SCENE THIS BEFORE!
19 Let’s talk about it.
20 What was the most relatable scenario for you? Is there any other solution you were able to come up with aside from the solutions discussed by the groups? Looking back, if you ever said, “How I wish…” Is there anything that you wished our CG would be? Prior to coming here, we assume that you have taken time out to check the CG. Any realization so far?
21 The WHYs and HOWs
22 Three significant findings were put forth based on the review of the curriculum: The curriculum was congested. Learning competencies were classified through overlapping curriculum domains. Knowledge of language structure was emphasized instead of literacy development.
23 The English Curriculum is offered from Grade 1 to 10 and has thousands of learning competencies (LCs) distributed across 12 domains: Oral Language (OL) Phonological Awareness (PA) Book and Print Knowledge (BPK) Phonics and Word Recognition (PWR) Fluency (F) Writing and Composition (C) Grammar Awareness and Structure (GA) Vocabulary and Concept Development (VCD) Reading Comprehension (RC) Listening Comprehension (LC) Attitude towards Language, Literacy and Literature (ATR) Study Strategies (SS)
24 Addressing the GAPS
25 Mapping of the Essential and Desirable Learning Competencies
26 According to Reeves (2002) and Ainsworth (2003), a competency is considered essential if: it is aligned with national, state, and/or local standards/ frameworks; it connects the content to higher concepts across content areas; it is applicable to real-life situations; it is more important than other learning competencies; and it is not expected to be learned from parents/communities.
