PD PROGRAM PROFILE
Give an overview of your proposed PD program by providing the following details.
● Other research highlights effective strategies for addressing educational challenges. Magtibay (2023) found that diverse teaching
methods and using assessment data improved student performance in the Philippines. Jimenez (2023) showed that targeted
interventions and better teacher training led to gains in student engagement and achievement. Reyes (2022) demonstrated that
project-based and collaborative learning enhanced critical thinking skills. Santos and Torres (2023) emphasized that data-driven
2
instruction improved student outcomes. These studies collectively support the need for innovative teaching practices and
effective use of data to address performance gaps identified by PISA.
● Based on the 2024 Consolidated Individual Development Plan of Teachers in the Division of Isabela, the following emerged as
key needs:
a) teaching strategies that enhance learners’ achievement in literacy and numeracy (PPST 1.4.2);
b) aligning learning competencies with achievable learning outcome (PPST 4.2.2);
c) utilizing assessment data effectively to guide the modification of teaching practices and learning programs (PPST 5.5.2);
d) strategies in giving timely, accurate and constructive feedback (PPST 5.3.2);
e) establishing safe and secure learning environment (PPST 2.1.2)
● Relatively, the identified needs of teachers could be classified into 3 themes: strategies, assessment and innovation. On these
themes shall the Midyear In-Service Training (InSeT) for Teachers for SY 2024-2025 focus on. This capacity building is also in
line with the “G” of the MATATAG Agenda that stands for “give support to teacher to teach better” and to the DM-OUHROD-
2024-1576 that emphasizes the support on the development of master teachers and teachers underpinning their professional
growth through the conduct of PD Programs including In-Service Training (INSeT).
● On the above-given parameters, SDO Isabela once again gears towards another milestone in helping its teachers through this
Mid-Year In-Service Training (INSET) that is expected to impact the academic performance of learners positively.
Anchored on the thrusts of developing critical thinking, creativity and higher-order thinking skills among our learners, this
three-day in-service training program shall engage the teacher-participants in both theoretical and practical learning episodes that will
Program Description develop in them effective utilization of learning strategies and approaches in providing worthwhile reading activities, assessment
methods and instructional materials as mandated by the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 (RA 10533) and DO 42, s. 2017 and
DO 11, s. 2019 and DM 44. S, 2023.
Results objective: As a result of the participants’ improved competence and performance, learners achieved better results in all
learning areas specially in literacy and numeracy and become creative and critical in solving real-life problems.
Application objective: Back in the classroom, participants will be able to implement a Learning Application Plan (LAP) that
demonstrates effective teaching strategies to foster creative and critical thinking, use varied instructional practices that conforms with
assessment data, and apply data-driven, innovative approaches to address learners’ least mastered competencies.
Terminal objective: By the end of the three-day training, the participants will be able to develop a lesson plan that reflects
content across learning areas and integrates diverse teaching strategies to support the holistic development of learners.
Program Objectives
Enabling objectives: Specifically, the participants will be able to:
3

Items using the SOLO Taxonomy in assessing
HOTS of your learners? What does SOLO
stand for?
ANALYSIS
Say:
"Let's begin by defining Higher-Order
Thinking Skills, or HOTS. These skills
involve analyzing, evaluating, and creating,
going beyond basic knowledge recall.
HOTS are critical in preparing our
18
students for real-life challenges and
fostering deep, meaningful learning. In the
context of the MATATAG curriculum, it’s
essential that we assess and develop these
skills."
Say:
"SOLO stands for Structured Observable
Learning Outcomes, developed by John
Biggs and Kevin Collis. This taxonomy
helps us understand the progression of
learning from surface to deep
understanding. Using SOLO, we can more
accurately assess our students'
understanding at different levels."
Do:
Show the SOLO levels pyramid or
hierarchy.
Ask participants if they have used SOLO
Taxonomy before.
Say:
"The first level is pre-structural, where
learners show no clear understanding of
the task. Here, responses may be off-topic
or irrelevant."
Do:
Show examples. Encourage participants to
think of their own examples of pre-
structural responses.
Share some examples they provide.
Say:
"The next level is Uni-structural. At this
level, students focus on one relevant
aspect of the task. They may recall basic
facts but lack depth in understanding."
Do:
19
Read the example. Ask participants to
consider how they assess Uni-structural
understanding in their classrooms.
Facilitate a brief discussion.
Say:
"Moving on to the Multi-structural level.
Here, students can list multiple relevant
pieces of information but treat them
separately. They might describe stages of a
process without understanding the
connections."
Do:
Present the example then invite
participants to think of ways to assess
Multi-structural understanding in their
subjects
Say:
"At the Relational level, students connect
multiple pieces of information, showing
how they interrelate."
Do:
Discuss the example with participants and
ask ideas on how they might encourage
Relational understanding through their
assessment methods.
Say:
"The Extended Abstract level involves
applying knowledge to new contexts or
developing new theories."
Do:
From the examples, ask participants to
brainstorm ways they could create tasks
for Extended Abstract responses in their
subjects.
20
Say:
"SOLO Taxonomy provides a clear pathway
for learning progression from surface to
deep understanding. Teachers can design
tasks that guide students through this
progression."
Do:
Show the flowchart and ask for volunteer
examples of tasks that move students
through the SOLO levels.
Say:
SOLO Taxonomy differs from Bloom’s
Taxonomy in its focus on the depth of
understanding. While Bloom’s categorizes
cognitive tasks, SOLO assesses how well
students understand content."
Do:
Display the comparison chart and prompt
participants to discuss their experiences
with both taxonomies (especially those who
were already trained in the SOLO)
Say:
"HOTS are vital for engaging students in
complex tasks and real-world problem-
solving. Let’s explore activities that
promote HOTS in our classrooms."
Do:
Encourage participants to share activities
they use to develop HOTS among their
students.
Say:
"SOLO allows us to assess HOTS by
focusing on tasks that require critical
thinking and application. We can create
21
questions that progress from simple recall
to complex analysis."
Do:
Show the progression of example questions
and ask participants for their input on
designing similar tasks.
Say:
"Formative assessments help gauge
learning throughout the process and
provide feedback for improvement. We can
use in-class discussions and concept maps
to assess Multi-structural and Relational
understanding."
Do:
Share example formative assessment
questions and encourage participants to
reflect on how they could implement these
strategies.
Say:
"At the Extended Abstract level, tasks
should challenge students to apply their
knowledge creatively. Reflection journals
and creative problem-solving tasks are
effective tools for this."
Do:
Discuss potential reflective prompts and
ask participants to brainstorm their own.
Say:
"Summative assessments evaluate learning
at the end of a unit. It’s crucial to include
questions that assess HOTS. We can
design assessments that require
explanation and application of concepts."
Do:
22
Share sample summative assessment
questions and invite feedback from
participants.
Say:
For Extended Abstract assessments, we
can challenge students with tasks that
require them to synthesize their learning.
Research papers and case studies are
great options."
Do:
Present rubrics for evaluating Extended
Abstract responses and discuss how to use
them effectively.
Say:
"Here are some key principles to consider
when designing HOTS assessments: Are
they open-ended? Do they have real-world
relevance?"
Do:
Present the checklist and ask participants
to reflect on their current assessments
based on these principles.
ABSTRACTION
Say:
"Before we wrap up, let’s review the key
takeaways from today’s session."
• SOLO Taxonomy offers a structured
way to assess students’ progression
23
from surface-level to deep
understanding."
• By using this framework, you can
design more meaningful
assessments that challenge your
students to think critically and
creatively."
• This approach also aligns with 21st-
century skills, which are crucial for
preparing our students for the
future."
Do:
Highlight the key points visually on the
slide, reinforcing their importance.
Ask participants if they have any lingering
questions or comments.
APPLICATION
Say:
" Now I think we are ready to practice our
understanding on developing HOTS using
the SOLO Taxonomy. Here are some
example template/s you can use to guide
your task creation.
Do:
Walk participants through the templates
and ensure they understand how to use
them.
Encourage them to start drafting their
tasks based on these examples.
Say:
"Now let’s come back together and share
the tasks you’ve created. Each group will
present their HOTS super items, and we’ll
discuss as a group how they address the
SOLO levels. We’ll also provide feedback to
help refine each other’s work."
24
Do:
Facilitate the group presentations,
ensuring that each group explains their
task and how it progresses through the
SOLO levels.
Guide a constructive feedback session
after each presentation, encouraging
collaboration.
Do:
Facilitate a reflective discussion, asking
participants to share their thoughts.
Encourage them to discuss how they can
integrate these strategies into their daily
teaching practice.
Ways Forward
Say:
"As we move forward, I encourage you to
start applying the SOLO Taxonomy in your
next lesson plan and share your
experiences with your peers. Collaboration
is key, so keep refining your approach and
learning from each other."

7. I seldom present opportunities for
students to gather and analyze their
own data for enrichment and
extension.
8. I don’t develop lessons and activities
that encourage my student to apply
concepts and information in useful
contexts, projecting them into
imagined futures (e.g., possible
careers) and unfamiliar locations
(e.g., workplaces).
Say:
• Have we considered these concepts
when we received and utilized the
lesson exemplars and worksheets
provided to us when we started
implementing the first phase of
MATATAG Curriculum? Have we
sustained these ideas when
enriching our lessons from the K to
12 Curriculum?
• This session would guide us on how
to reinforce the art of
contextualization in our lessons so
that learners will see the relevance
of what they learn from us and to
the community where they belong.
ANALYSIS:
The facilitator shall ask the following:
• What is the best way to teach so
that all students can use and retain
information?
• How can a teacher communicate
effectively with students who
wonder about the relevance of what
they study?
30
• Why is there a need to localize in
teaching-learning process?
• Should there be a limitation on
localization in teaching? Why?
Say, let these questions lead us to how are
we supposed to utilize the learning
resources issued by the Central Office
without sacrificing the content.
ABSTRACTION:
The facilitator will discuss the following:

facilitate learning and constantly
nurture every learner.
Administrators and staff, as
stewards of the institution, ensure
an enabling and supportive
environment for effective learning to
happen. Family, community, and
other stakeholders are actively
engaged and share responsibility for
developing life-long learners.
o MATATAG Curriculum- d. The
MATATAG Curriculum, with its
standards-based framework, shall
actively promote curriculum
contextualization, which takes into
account the learners’ abilities,
socio-cultural background,
historical context and
environmental factors. Considering
32
these specific elements, the
curriculum promotes values, beliefs,
practices, and knowledge systems
within the learners’ community to
foster inclusivity and relevance.
•Reinforcing Contextualization by
Definition
o Curriculum Contextualization- the
process of matching the curriculum
content and instructional strategies
relevant to learners. Student
diversity requires that teachers
always consider individual
differences in lesson planning and
implementation.
o Contextualization- It is the
educational process of relating the
curriculum to a particular setting,
situation, or area of application to
make the competencies relevant,
meaningful, and useful to all
learners.
o Localization- It refers to the process
of relating learning content specified
in the curriculum to local
information, conditions,
environment, and materials in the
learners’ community.
•Analyzing the Principles of
Contextualization and Localization
o Localization and contextualization
can be done in all the learning
areas.
o Localization maximizes the use of
available materials.
o To contextualize, teachers must use
authentic materials and anchor
33
teaching on the context of learners’
lives.
o Teachers should encourage
students to pose problems and
issues and use strategies to address
these.
o The localized or contextualized
curriculum is based on local needs
and relevance for the learners; thus
allowing for its flexibility and
creativity in the lessons.
o Teachers must build on what
resources the school have.
o Teachers must accommodate and
respect cultural, linguistic, and
racial diversity.
•Mastering REACT Strategy as Basis in
Developing Contextualized Learning
Resources
The REACT Strategy.
Curricula and instruction based on
contextual learning strategies should be
structured to encourage five essential
forms of learning: Relating, Experiencing,
Applying, Cooperating, and Transferring.
•Appreciating the Importance of
Contextualization
o Enhances Relevance
o Improves Comprehension
o Strengthens Cultural Identity
o Empowers Communities
o Promotes Lifelong Learning
o Sustainable Development
APPLICATION:
Ask participants to conduct sessions for
collaborative expertise where teachers
integrate a localized activity in their lesson
34
exemplar/worksheets/e-textbooks
acquired from the portal.
35
• Parts of Daily Lesson Plans/Logs
36
The judges will walk around to assess the
structures based on the criteria provided.
39
strategies like critical thinking
and problem-solving.
• Closure: Summarize key points
and reinforce the learning
objectives. Encourage student
reflection or question prompts
to solidify learning.
5.Assessment:
• Use formative and summative
assessments to measure
student understanding.
• Incorporate different
assessment types (quizzes,
projects, performance tasks)
aligned with the lesson
objectives.
• Provide feedback to guide
student progress.
6. Reflection:
• Integrate opportunities for both
students and teachers to reflect
on the learning process.
• Encourage students to assess
their understanding and
teachers to evaluate the
effectiveness of the lesson.
Emphasize the following:
• Bloom's Taxonomy: Design
objectives and assessments that
target various cognitive levels,
from recall to higher-order
thinking skills.
• 21st Century Learning:
Integrating critical thinking,
collaboration, and creativity and
40
other 21st century skills into the
lesson to enhance students'
readiness for real-world
challenges.
SAY:
Innovative Strategies:
• Use innovative strategies to meet
diverse learning needs. (Ask
participants to recall previous
sessions and think of strategies that
that they have learned.)
• Avoid overloading content—ensure
lessons are paced appropriately to
maximize learning.
41
Walk around the “Learning Lane” to
explore the “Learning Guide” outputs from
each group.
• Interactive Feedback: Use meta-
cards to write comments and
suggestions on each group’s output.
Highlight their strengths and offer
constructive feedback.
• Time Management: Spend a
maximum of two minutes at each
station to ensure you have enough
time to visit all the displays.
• Evaluation Criteria: Assess the
outputs based on the tips provided
by the resource person during the
lesson planning session.
• Rotation System: Rotate
systematically so that all groups can
visit every “Learning Guide” post
within 10 minutes.
Ask participants to share their reactions to
the comments, ensuring to get feedback
from at least one member of each group,
especially if time permits.
Activity 3: COLLAB TIME
• Choose a topic or lesson and create
a detailed lesson plan, incorporating
clear strategies/methods for
teaching.
• Select a topic and create a week-
long lesson log.
• From the week-long lesson log,
refine a one-hour lesson for
demonstration teaching.
• Each group should collaborate on
refining and preparing all materials
needed for the demonstration
teaching.
42
During the collab time of the participants
for the lesson planning, all the resource
persons will be assigned to each group to
serve as TA providers/mentors/coaches.
CLOSURE:
Do:
Wrap up and remind the participants that
according to an American author, Mark
Caine ---meticulous planning will enable
everything a man does to appear
spontaneous.
