Schools may craft additional indicators for the behavior statements. Schools must ensure that these are child-
centered, gender-fair, and age- and culture-appropriate. To support the development of these Core Values,
schools must make sure that their homeroom guidance program promotes them. Additional opportunities may
be integrated into class discussions in all learning areas.
A non-numerical rating scale will be used to report on learners’ behavior demonstrating the Core Values. The
Class Adviser and other teachers shall agree on how to conduct these observations. They will also discuss how
each child will be rated. Table 13 presents the marks that must be used.
AO Always Observed
SO Sometimes Observed
RO Rarely Observed
NO Not Observed
Learners who demonstrate behaviors that are not consistent with or do not reflect the core values may need
additional psychosocial support from the school. The class adviser should discuss these observations with the
parents/guardians to promote the child’s affective development. Further probing may be needed to better
understand the learner’s situation and context.
