Contextualized MELCs-based ALS SHS Curriculum

SUMMARY TABLE
CORE SUBJECT: Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM)

Note: The highlighted words (in yellow) are technical terms to be unlocked not by defining but using them in context.
The science concepts behind the disasters are discussed in Earth and Life Sciences
There is a need to review the sequence of the MELCs to ensure that concepts and skills are developed logically. See Columns 4 and 5 below on how to do this.
