Materials and other learning sources

Every subject has two books. First book for teacher as teacher’s guide and second book for students. I think it’s looks like in my country. In Indonesia also apply two books for each subject. The book for teacher and student. But, sir Alcher said that you can add other materials from internet

Academic Support System

In JHS class they have television, 4 fans,Board ,white board and the seats are comportable.

Curriculum

Main features of the enhanced K to 12 curriculum. In the old curriculum,so much knowledge,skills and values were expected to be learnt by students within a limited period of time . moreover, learning tended to be more focused on content,which was fragmented and disintegrated . these could be some reasons why many Filipino students failed to master the competencies and gain lifelong skills necessary for a productive life.

The K to 12 education program addresses these comings by reforming the basic education curriculum .the following are some features of the curriculum :

1.       The K to 12 curriculum is decongested. The new curriculum focuses on understanding for mastery and has removed the unnecessarily repeated competencies.

2.       The K to 12 curriculum is seamless . this ensures smooth transition between grade level and continuum of competencies through spiral progression where learning of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes increases ub depth and breadth . there is also continuity of competencies and standards from elementary to secondary level through a unified curriculum framework . the unified standars and competencies ensures integration of what learners learn across grade levels and across learning areas for a more meaningful learning.

3.       The K to 12 curriculum is relevant and responsive as it centers on the Filipino learner; it is developmentally appropriate (age appropriate) and focuses on succeeding in the 21^st century. Moreover, the curriculum responds to the needs of the community; an agricultural town may offer agricultural elective courses; a coastal area , fishery elective courses ; an urban area, industrial arts. Learning will be systematically matched wuth labor market requirements.

4.       K to 12 curriculum is enriched. It uses integrative , inquiry-based and constructive approached to develop the competencies of learners.

5.       K to 12 curriculum is learner –centered. It focused on the optimum development of the Filipino child.

Teaching Plan

 
MY OBSERVATION IN CLASS 9(ST. LUKE AND ST JOSEPH),JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

1. Teaching Methods : The method used is the discovery method, with the model used is the Think, pair, Share model. These methods and models are very good if used together because they are expected to have an active role in the classroom, as the curriculum expects students to be central to learning activities and teachers as facilitators.
2. Learning materials and innovation Using : material based on curriculum, sylabus, math book, electronic book, internet. For innovation, teacher using expository method
3. Sources of learning and technology :Use two book such as teacher’s guided book and student’s workbook. Teacher can add other materials from internet. Use learning media with technology such as power point.
     4. Authentic Assesment : based on my observations, sir Alcher often gives questions like quizzes at the end of learning to test and also as an Assessment for them.
