OBJECTIVE 9
Designed, adapted and implemented teaching strategies that are responsive to learners, with disabilities,
giftedness and talents.
PROMPT #1
Context: Carlene is suffering from a deficiency by shortcomings in her learning areas, seen unfocused and
restless in synchronous class. Neither was she unable to pass her activities, she also had difficulty in
understanding and following the instructions given by her teachers and classmates.
Action Taken: The school and faculty took an immediate action to have a conference with her parents and found
out from them that Carlene has anxiety and was diagnosed with a learning disability.
How will you alter to make emotional, mental and physical changes and different specifications and instructions
for Carlene to keep her focus in synchronous classes.
REFLECTION/ ANNOTATIONS
Based on the scenario given, Clara has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Types of Learning
Disabilities: Discover 10 Common Learning Disabilities, 2022). Clara would likely become attention-seeking in
class, unable to focus, unable to accomplish complex learning goals, hyperactive, and unable to follow
instructions. Clara's attention span would be concise.
Teaching strategies must also be suited to their learning needs to cater to and deliver quality instruction to
students with Learning disabilities, particularly ADHD, like Clara. Assuming that Clara is in my English 8 class,
here are some adjustments I would make in my instruction so that Clara can learn just like the rest of the students:
Classroom Management, Before the start of the lesson, I would see to it that Clara is seated away from the
things that might distract her, like windows, doors, and other displays in the classroom. She is already struggling
to focus, so any distractions in the school should be away from her. I would seat her in the middle and, if possible,
near me so that I can keep an eye on her, which will compel Clara to focus slightly on class. I would also explain
the rules and expected behavior in class and the consequences if rules are not followed. Clara will also receive a
reward for her positive behaviors and repercussions for not following the rules. According to the article 8 Simple
Lesson Delivery. The lesson should deliver in simple language and, if possible, be presented in charts, graphs,
pictures, or other illustrations to facilitate her understanding of the concept. All the essential concepts must also
be given time early in the lesson; this calls for an inductive approach to lesson delivery. Clara's attention span is
so short; that is why she must perform skills or learn concepts at the onset of the lesson before she loses interest
and focuses altogether.
Likewise, this is true for all; the information or concept of the lesson must be in chunks so that they can absorb it,
especially Clara. Complex concepts must be divided into small learning concepts to ensure that students like Clara
can still understand it.
Grammar Practice. Clara will be given drills and practice sheets with gradual difficulty in drills and Grammar
Practice. It will help capture her interest and attention of Clara because she will perform an activity that she can
accomplish and understand. Instructions would also be repeated because Clara would likely forget the instructions
on the practice.
In performance activities, I would use a graphic organizer to chart the step-by-step method of activity. Students
with ADHD often lose interest in activities when unsupervised or lose their focus. By guiding them with visuals
as instruction in the activity, students like Clara would be reinforced to do the activity because they have visuals
to follow, and I would also constantly monitor and give her extra attention.
Clara will also not be forced to answer questions that need long verbal explanations so as not to embarrass or
demotivate her. In English, students are asked to explain their answers to develop Language ability. Clara would
be exempted from this but will find other ways to allow her to speak and develop oral language abilities.
I would also give Clara constant Feedback on her activity to motivate her even more and to give attention to her
learning tasks.
DepEd provides an equal opportunity for learning to Children with Disability or what we call Inclusive Education,
"DO 72, s. 2009-Inclusive Education as Strategy for Increasing Participation Rate of Children ". As a teacher, I
recognize my immense responsibility to provide quality and equal opportunities for learning to students with
disabilities. By providing a suitable lesson delivery, I would ensure that students like Clara would be allowed to
have access to equal and quality learning experiences in my class.

ANNOTATIONS
Gifted students work at their own pace, compact curriculum, and deliver project-based learning. Upon this
kind of learning method, I employ learning that would help them to explore things with their classmate.
In activity 1, I ask them to pair them and model a social situation. It can be challenging for some gifted
students as their understanding of social cues can be under developed. Teaming up with other students will
help each other to learn differently.
I encourage them to move beyond their learning skill by applying them in the real world. For example, they
can explore how area and perimeter affect an architect's design or how scientists use animal classification
to understand animal life and how it functions.
Create a differentiation strategy for your classroom with the educational materials and resources to benefit
all students.
OBJECTIVE 10
Adapted and used culturally appropriate teaching strategies to address the needs of learners from indigenous
groups.
PROMPT #1
Below is an assessment activity for a class of 30 learners, five of which belong to an indigenous peoples (IP)
group. Evaluate the appropriateness of the activity to your learners. Write your response in this form.
Directions: For your assignment, research on the following roles in your community by asking your parents or
anyone with knowledge on these roles. Choose from Set A and Set B. Explain why these are important roles.
SET B
SET A Datu/Chieftain
1. Mayor Community Elders
Healers
2. Councilors
3. Medical Officers
YOUR REFLECTIONS
The task given to the students is to research the roles of the given workers in the community by asking
their parents or anyone with knowledge of the roles. It is divided into two sets. Set A used terms familiar
to the modern community, while Set B used terms familiar to the older or indigenous community.
For my classroom with a presence of Indigenous students, this type of Assessment promotes cultural-
sensitivity, fairness, inclusivity, and contextualization. It is very much concerning how IP students must
be assessed appropriately.
This kind of Assessment is very appropriate to my classroom, which has Indigenous students, because it
acknowledges the culture of these learners. According to an article, Ways of teaching & engaging
Aboriginal students in an effective classroom with IP students must be culturally relevant and
responsive. The assessment test reflects the teacher's knowledge and sensitivity to the culture of the IPs
by including their own culture and vocabulary in the assessment test. Further, the Assessment also did
not ask the learners to use technology to find out the roles of these people in the community; instead, the
teacher asked them to utilize the community and elders to provide the answers. This hits two birds; one,
the teacher acknowledges that not all students, especially IPs, have computers or gadgets to search for
The type of Assessment given also develops students' HOTs or Higher Order Thinking Skills in my
class. According to various articles, for the Indigenous Group students to thrive, a teacher must set a
high standard for them and expect them to succeed. The Assessment shows that the teacher expects
everyone to explain the roles they will gather, developing the reasoning ability and critical thinking of
not only the IP students but all of the students in class.
As a teacher, we sometimes forget that there are IP students in the mainstream class who need a unique
teaching and Assessment approach. This shows in many research studies that these children's needs are
not being addressed. However, there are revolutionary movements for Indigenous People, especially in
Basic Education. Our curriculum advocates inclusivity, fairness, and cultural sensitivity to all students
and the groups they belong to (DO 32, S. 2015, DO 72, s. 2009, DO 101, S. 2010).
The Assessment given as an example in this reflection form is one way of showing us how to provide a
proper and valid assessment test to all our students irrespective of their community groups. It also shows
how different the IP students may look at things and concepts learned in school. For the IPs, the elders
and community are very fundamental to their existence, and therefore, for the teaching instruction and
Assessment to be successful for this type of learner, the tasks of the learners must allow them to function
in society and enable them to utilize their own culture and environment.
In retrospect, we should never forget that the assessment strategy must align with the teaching strategy
in order to assess if the objectives based on the competencies prescribed by our curriculum are being
carried out in our lesson. In order to address the learning needs of our students in Indigenous Groups, we
must make all the parts of our lesson culture-sensitive, inclusive, and conducive for them, bearing in
mind that these students are the future of our country.
Adapted and used culturally appropriate teaching strategies to address the needs of learners from
indigenous groups.
PROMPT #2
Design a lesson plan for your class that integrates aspects of indigenous peoples (IP) culture using
national mandates on indigenous peoples education (IPEd) as reference:
• Republic Act No. 8371 or the Indigenous People’s Rights Act of 1997
• DepEd Order No. 62, S. 2011 or the Adopting the National Indigenous Peoples (IP) Education Policy
Framework
• DepEd Order No. 32, S. 2015 or the Adopting the Indigenous Peoples (IP) Education Curriculum
Framework
The integration of IP culture in the lesson plan must be highlighted and annotated in this reflection
form. Attach your lesson plan here.
