the questions.
(3 min.)

3. Faci briefly processes each

response and situates the
following points:

The program goals anchored to

the teacher competencies being
addressed and with the poor
assessment results for Filipino
learners, necessitate a reform
initiative directed at supporting
the strengthening of teachers’
subject knowledge and
pedagogy to improve learner
performance.

The WAP provides a leeway to

identify the application objectives
anchored to the program goals of
the HOTS-PLPs and identify the
specific tasks of a teacher on
how to incorporate the concepts
of the SOLO Framework in the
teaching and learning process.

Faci presents the WAP

application objectives for teacher
and mentor.
