What benefits did you gain after utilizing the PDCA Cycle?

Everything is set prior to the conduct of the lesson with the learners. Instructional

materials, proper classroom setting. Conduciveness of the classroom environment

should be given ample consideration so that complete grasp of the lesson will be

achieved.

Rate your accomplishment using the continuum:

Outstanding Very Satisfactory Satisfactory Fair Needs Improvement

I rated myself very satisfactory.

Because my students were able to produce quality and meaningful outputs each group

has presented the lesson learned. Their creativity in conceptualizing has been tested. On

their presentation, I had noticed also that they have their own technique of presenting

their final output on how to capture the attention of their audience. This truly justifies

they truly understand the lesson and I am able to adjust in their own interest.
