Flexible Instructional Development Plan (FIDP)

Montalan, G. L., 2020
 A. Plan the subject’s aligned
instructional activities
1. Articulate the reason in teaching the subject
2. Identify essential (primary) knowledge, skills, and
attitude (competencies) to develop in every student
* Determine the MOST Essential Topics
(MET) that facilitate the
development of competencies
3. Determine Flexible Assessment Activities (FAA)
that monitor the progress of individual student’s
learning
4. Define Flexible Learning Strategies (FLS) that
facilitate individual student’s learning of Most
