OBJECTIVE 9
Designed, adapted and implemented teaching strategies
that are responsive to learners with disabilities, giftedness and talents
PROMPT #1
Context: Clara is often seen restless or unfocused in class. She also has troubles following instructions and skips
activities when left unsupervised.
Action Taken: You had a conference with her parents and found out from them that Clara was diagnosed with a
learning disability.

How will you modify the instructions for Clara to keep her focus on classroom activities? Write your reflections in
this form. Mention in your reflections a specific learning disability that you are familiar with or have researched on.

YOUR REFLECTIONS

After having a conference with Clara’s and found out from them that Clara was diagnosed with a learning
disability I try to reflect and think of what to do to help her. I did some research and found out that her condition
might be dyspraxia. A person with dyspraxia has problems with movement, coordination, judgment, processing,
memory, and some other cognitive skills. Dyspraxia also affects the body’s immune and nervous systems.
Dyspraxia in children can also affect other activities which involve co-ordination of muscle and brain activity,
including speaking, intellectual ability and organizing complicated tasks. Dyspraxia does not affect intelligence. It
does, however, place extra hurdles in the way of children during their educational years.
I will let Clara sit closer to the front of the room so she can see the board easier. Also ensure that she are a good
distance from doors, windows, and display boards, as these may be distracting.
I will allow her to have the opportunity to pause what she’s doing and have a break every so often. Even just a
short ice breaker song for a couple of minutes can help to improve concentration when her return to her seat.

I started to think on what to do to help her cope the learning disability and be active in the class and think of
what activities that would fit her condition. Though, she has that problem she still have the right to enjoy life. I
will include activities on my lesson giving more audiovisual exercises that would catch her attention for her
cognitive development skills.
I will do activities that would help her muscle coordination through active play is where a very young
child’s physical and emotional learning, development of language, her special awareness, the development of
what her senses are, all come together.
I will do a cooperative and collaborative activity for her to improve her cognitive skills for repetition,
positive feedback and encouragement: the biggest thing that I can do is to persuade the child, positively and
optimistically, to keep trying to learn the things that are difficult, and to help her see the small improvements she
will make. Things that she give up at, they won't get better at - but things that she don't give up at, she will get
better at.
I will include activity that may let Clara enhance her speech by in a class discussion asking her opinion
about the topic through the pictures in posted in a powerpoint presentation. Speech Therapy addresses the
functional skills that are required across different environments. Speech Therapy team works closely with parents,
teachers to implement strategies to develop language and play skills in the home, child care, kindergarten and
school environments.
The school is the key factor through my effort to improve, and someday make a big change in how Clara would
look at life because she gradually counter her learning disability and handicap in education. It may not be an easy
task to do because there is no cure to this but coping and learning how to battle with it will be a big impact in
Clara’s journey. Because of the care and understanding from the people around her is one big armor that she
could carry as she continues to discover more steps to combat this challenge. All she needs is a positive and
loving environment she will surpass the learning disability.

YOUR REFLECTIONS

Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples refer to a group of people or

homogenous societies identified by self-ascription and ascription by others, who have
continuously lived as organized community on communally bounded and defined territory, and
who have, under claims of ownership since time immemorial, occupied, possessed and
utilized such territories, sharing common bonds of language, customs, traditions and other
distinctive cultural traits, or who have, through resistance to political, social and cultural
inroads of colonization, non-indigenous religions and cultures, became historically
differentiated from the majority of Filipinos according to REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8371 also known
as known as “The Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act of 1997”.

The State shall recognize and promote the rights of ICCs/IPs within the framework of
national unity and development. Recognize, respect and protect the rights of ICCs/IPs to
preserve and develop their cultures, traditions and institutions. It shall consider these rights in
the formulation of national laws and policies. The State recognizes its obligations to respond
to the strong expression of the ICCs/IPs for cultural integrity by assuring maximum ICC/IP
participation in the direction of education, health, as well as other services of ICCs/IPs, in
order to render such services more responsive to the needs and desires of these
communities.

Therefore, it is important for as teachers that we should recognize and Identify and that we have learners that
belongs to ICC/IP groups so that we can carefully address their needs and give them equal treatment and proper
teaching strategies.

In the given assessment activity for a class of 30 learners, five of which belong to an indigenous peoples (IP)
group. I believe the teacher has given proper consideration to the Indigenous People (IP) because instead of focusing
to majority group class being known as the Set A of the class, the Mayor, Councilors and the Medical Officers. The
teacher was fair enough to consider the Indigenous people known as the Set B, the Datu/Chieftain, and Community
elders and the healers which showed the acknowledgement to their culture.

It is important to as teachers that should know that we have in the class pupils that belongs Indigenous People.
We should make sure that we use Teaching techniques not only for majority of the class but we should bear in mind
the welfare of those IPs group. We should make lesson that is also suited to the needs and capabilities of those
minority class. We should use terms and language suited to their level understanding for the benefit of their learning.
