1. Which of the seven types curriculum in the school setting is easy to find? Why?
For me, among the seven types of curriculum in the school setting, the easiest to fine the Assessment
curriculum because it is ongoing process of gathering information about learners’ learning. This includes a variety
of ways to document what the learners knows, understands, and can do with their knowledge and skills

2. Which is difficult to observe? Why?

The difficult to observe is the “hidden curriculum because it includes the unwritten, unofficial, and often
unintended lessons, values, and perspectives that students learn in school.

3. Are these all found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to one
another?
All of these curriculum can be found in a classroom setting. They are the essential components of the
school procedures. These are the procedures that the teacher must follow in order to properly educate the learners.
This means that a teacher cannot begin a new curriculum without first considering the one that came before it.
They influence each other and should be viewed as interconnected variables.
have an impact on learning

4. Draw a diagram to show the relationship of the curriculum to the other.

Make a reflection on the diagram that you have drawn.

Recommended Curriculum is the basis of all types of curricula. K-12 Guidelines issued by the
Department of Education shall be adhered in writing the curriculum or the lesson plan (LP). The lesson
plan must reflect the guidelines recommended by the DepEd. This will serve as the key to carry out the
plan on the actual teaching. Whatever is written in the lesson plan shall be considered in the Taught
Curriculum. The actual process of teachers’ pedagogy should follow the plan written by the teacher.
This also includes the materials (Supported Curriculum), assessment tools or activities (Assessed
Curriculum), products or outputs that students should produce/attain at the end of the lesson (Learned
Curriculum) and other factors that contribute to learning including media and community (Hidden
Curriculum). The four (4) mentioned types of curriculum are the components of the Taught Curriculum.
This means that they should be considered to effectively teach the students or the end user of all the
curricula,

The relationship between these curricula serves to enhance each other in order for the school to reach its
objective as a school that has a quality education. Curriculum is one of the most important instruments
used by the school. It

provides us a method we use to do in teaching. The curriculum is the cornerstone of education,

and it is the curriculum that distinguishes educational excellence. from the most fundamental to
the most sophisticated subjects or skills.

Write a paragraph based in the data you gathered using these key questions.

1. How does the teacher whom you observed compare to the ideal characteristics
or competencies of global quality teachers?
My resource teacher embodies the characteristics of a global global quality teachers. As I have observed,
he effectively implemented his lesson by being flexible, facilitating the instruction creatively through the use of
ways that are well suited to the needs of the pupils. He also encourages his pupils’ collaboration and individuality,
and he is technologically competent.

2. Was the lesson implemented as planned? Describe.

The lesson was implemented as planned because from the discussion, activities, application and
evaluation, the instruction was well-organized which means that the teacher adhered the lesson plan she have
written.

3. Can you describe the disposition of the teacher after the lesson was taught?
Happy and eager? Satisfied? Disappointed and exhausted?
I can tell the teacher is fulfilled and happy with the session because he delivered the material really
successfully and there were no more questions asked at the end of the lesson due to the pupils' satisfaction with
the discussion. He ended the class session with a smile on his face, indicating his delight that his pupils learned
efficiently. He was pleased that the pupils were engaged, participate.

4. Can you describe the majority of students’ reactions after the lesson was
taught? Confused? Happy and eager? Contented? No reactions at all.
The impact of the class discussion increased pupils' eagerness to learn in the following subject/lesson.
They were motivated and enthused by their excellent performance, and they thought the instruction was simple.
This indicates that the lesson was well-taught and influenced the learners. The majority of students are happy and
contented because their teacher exhibits a high level of tolerance and understanding and gives credit to all of their
responses, even if they don't always make sense in relation to the question, but their teacher still expresses
gratitude, which motivates learners and boosts their self-confidence.
Based on your observations and tasks in Activity 2 how will you prepare your
lesson plan? Make a short paragraph on the topic.
To effectively implement the lesson plan using the same topic, preparation is necessary. The first
step I need to do for preparation is to read well the concepts and gather materials that suits well the
interest and preferences of the students. For example, instead of using a news article, why not choose an
article that tackles about online games, popular culture or any topic that may gain more attention from
the students. Then, use the technological tools.
Technology should always be incorporated in preparing for the lesson plan. Choosing
PowerPoint presentation or Video, using web-based blogs or wikis, and etc. Me as a teacher, can decide
which tools can be perfect to teach the lesson well. After choosing the materials/tools, plan the activities
and evaluation. Activities should be engaging, promotes collaboration and teamwork. Students work
better with their peers so collaborative activities can be great opportunities for them to enhance social
skills. Finally, ensure that the evaluation is aligned to the objectives. It is important that what is stated in
the learning objectives reflect the instruction and the assessment.
In addition to the core components of a curriculum, there are extra standards to follow. Each one
includes crucial components such as the type/level of students, their prior knowledge, which will help us
keep the flow flowing, and the teaching tactics you may use in your lesson plan. Following that, students
must establish learning objectives, design specific learning activities, plan the lesson, and evaluate their
progress.

Constructive Alignment of the Components of a Lesson Plan

Using the diagram below fill up the component parts of a lesson plan.

Y
Answer the following questions based on the diagram.

1. Are the three components constructively aligned? Explain.

The three components from the diagram presented in the previous page are constructively
aligned. The assessment and the teaching method was guided by the learning outcomes. The three
outcomes reflect what the students should attain throughout the lesson.

2. Will the outcomes be achieved with the teaching methods used? Why?
Positively, through the use of teaching methods, the outcomes stated will be achieved well. The
teaching methods were appropriately and carefully planned that responds well to the learning objectives.

3. What component would tell if the outcomes have been achieved?

We should look at the assessments that were utilized to see if the outcomes were met. For
example, in the lesson plan on the previous page, the final goal demands learners to be able to write a
character analysis of the narrative; then, the assessment section reflects the final aim, which may assist
them in achieving the end.
1. What lesson have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?
When it comes to preparing or writing a lesson plan, I've learned that I must align the three
components in order to achieve my objectives. To see where my pupils are at the moment of learning, I
must first decide what information, skills, and values I want my students to gain, then choose the best
technique to achieve the desired result. Finally, I must provide evaluation and assessment that is aligned
with your learning outcomes.
I need to think a plan that will based on the learners’ knowledge and abilities for them to meet
the expectations we needed and we needed to use methods and strategies that the students will enjoy as
well as to learn.

2. What value will it give to the teacher if the three components are aligned?
The teacher will receive the value of success if she aligns three components to her lesson plan.
achieving a goal by efficiently presenting the lesson and effectively teaching the pupils
