 Part of Professional Growth is upgrading your
knowledge, skills, understanding, and accepting new
learnings. Well crafted and delivered continuing
professional development is important because it delivers
benefits to us educators, our profession and the public. It
was a good start for us first time to teach Junior High School
because it is not easy to teach if you are not ready and fully
equipped.

It was a meaningful 3-days seminar held at St.

Scholastica’s Academy, City of San Fernando that is about
Designing, Assessing and Facilitating Learning of the K-
12 Standards with 21st Century Pedagogies. I was a bit late
for the 1st session because it took us a couple of hours to
have the modules that we need for each sessions.

Our speaker were Sir Michael Matias

and Sir Nigel Glenn Javier. The coverage of
the 1st session were the purpose, objective and
teacher’s sole role in the K – 12 Curriculum.
This program will help individuals to develop
productive and responsible citizens. Teacher’s
sole role in the 21st Century is not a sage on the
stage. Our speaker made us realize that our key
role is not just a Facilitator who guides our learners but
also to be an Assesor who provides feedback and a
Designer who make learning plan align with the
standards to produce life-long learners. Also, Sir Matias
highlighted the 7C’s of 21st Century Lifelong Skills.
These 7C’s help the learners to become locally and
globally competetive.
In the 2nd session, our speaker taught us how do
we know our teaching is standa rds-based and it is not
enough to just download and follow the DepEd
Curriculum Guide because it is not the curriculum but
it tells you simply the goal. Also, they taught us how
to make a Diary Curriculum Map wherein the Content
and Performance standards must contain the learning
goals, th e Competencies or skills must show steps in
achieving the standards, the Assessment are the
evidence to achieve the competencies, using
Activities for developing competencies and the
Core values serves as the connection with school
PVMGO . In session 3, our speaker discussed
the Unpacking of Aquisition, Meaning-making,
and Transfer (AMT) and the techniques to
 unpack standards and competencies. The goal of AMT is to show
allignment and drives in our instruction. In the curriculum map,
learning competencies are under aquisition but to make the learning
goal standard, we should add competencies that are under meaning-
making and transfer. In session 4, they discussed how to make a
perfomance task under transfer using GRASPS. In making a
performance task, we make sure that it is standards-based or it is align
with the transfer goal and performance standards, it should be open-
ended wherein the learners have the freedom to express learning in
varried ways and it should be integrated with the 7C’s. After the 4
sessions, I and my groupmates started to do the different workshops
but because of a short span of time given to us, we didn’t finish it.

In this second day of seminar, the lecturer

discussed the session 5 that consist on how to write an
Analytic rubric and Holistic rubric for a Performance
task and Self-assessment for Performance task. In
writing an analytic rubric, it should be focus on the
content and all of the criteria must align with the
standardds in GRASPS and transfer goal. To write a
quality rubric, we must consider the clear essential
criteria, realistic number of criteria, explicit observable
indicators, no overlaps in levels, must be a real-world
criteria, high interjudge realiability, tested out with students
and avoid degree modifiers.The lecturer gave us the
opportunity to identify the errors in the given sample of
criteria. They shared with us also
the different kinds of self-
assessment which we can use in
daily teaching. After the session, we are instructed to wrote our own
rubric for our chosen topic which is the Eclipses and also an
example of Self-assessment. But then again, we didn’t finished
it on time.  In session 6 and 7, they discussed on how to design
with the learning goal of Meaning-making and Aquisition.
Under this session, we created our EU’s and EQ’s for our
chosen topic. Also, we did some collaborative activities wherein
we picked some approaches or active learning activities that can
be used in the classroom by
expalining to the other
trainees what we had picked.
In session 8, we talked about
putting together a unit learning plan in following the design
protocol for alignment in the currculum map. A design
protocol is consisted of the standards, learning goals,
learning competencies, assessments, activities and resources.
In putting together a unit learning plan, we can use the
 different aquisition strategies such as Mnemonics, Note-
taking aid and outlining, active learning, cooperative
learning (swap talk), and graphic organizer. Next was the
Integration of values in the curriculum map. We are asked to
create an acti vity or
processing questions for
values integratiton based
on the performance task we did in the previous session. And
lastly, was the calendaring the unit learning plan. The
learning plan calendar should reflect the different stages and
learning goals, the acitivites should distrubuted well in terms
of schedule and time allotment.

This last the last day of the seminar. Since we

didn’t finished all of the required outputs, the morning part
of the day was doing and completing all of it. There are 16
required outputs to be presented. So to complete all of it,
we distributed the task. In out group, we did the
Acquisition part which consists of sample selected
response questions per competency, sample learning
activities for acquisition, self-assessment checklist, unit
assessment map, EFDT learning plan, learning plan
calendar, sample map of conceptual change and sample
questions for values intergation based on PT. At first, we
thought that we can’t finish it on time, but of course with
teamwork, cooperation, communication and
collaboration, Glory to God we did it! In the afternoon,
all of the groups were presented their outputs.
Critiques, comments and suggestions were given
by our speakers.

We cannot teach what we don’t have. So

before teaching a lesson, we should “Begin with
an end mind.” We should think first the outcomes
by starting our day with a goal to have a
positive result. Furthermore, all of these
seminars are so much means to me because
it prepared me in the field of teaching
especially handling JHS. I did not only
learn new ideas but it helped me in
developing my skills wherein I can apply
these insights when I am already in the
field. Indeed, it was a challenging but
worth remembering seminar workshop.
This seminar let me build more confidence
in what and the way I am teaching and I couldn't be more thankful for this opportunity.
