1. Strengthening Early Childhood Education (Universal Kindergarten)
Example Scenario:
In Kindergarten, to recognize and pronounce letters confidently, the teacher turns on the television and plays a
cheerful song that highlights the alphabet. As the letters appear on the screen, children sing along and mimic the
sounds. For example, when the letter “B” flashes, they chant “B-b-b, ball!” while pointing to pictures on the wall. The
lively music keeps them engaged, and they associate letters with familiar objects.
The scenario shows how young learners are introduced to foundational literacy skills in an engaging and
playful way. By singing and associating letters with videos/songs children develop readiness for reading while
enjoying the process as the teacher uses technology, such as television and educational songs, to give young learners
engaging access to early childhood education. By integrating readily available tools, the lesson becomes interactive
and effective, ensuring that every child can confidently recognize and pronounce letters.
This shows the Universal Kindergarten program’s goal of providing meaningful early learning opportunities
for all Filipino children.
2. Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement)
Example Scenario:
In a Grade 3 Math class, the teacher brings a basket of sarisa (star apples) to demonstrate addition and
subtraction. She asks, “If you pick three sarisa from the basket and eat one, how many are left?” The students eagerly
count the fruits because it reminds them of helping their parents harvest in the backyard. They begin sharing their own
stories about selling fruits at the market. The lesson becomes meaningful because they see how Math applies to
everyday life.
Using sarisa in a Math lesson connects abstract concepts to real-life experiences. Students not only learn
addition and subtraction but also relate it to familiar situations like harvesting and selling fruits.
This shows the salient feature of contextualization because the curriculum becomes relevant, meaningful, and
connected to learners’ daily lives and culture.
3. Building Proficiency (Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education)
Example Scenario:
In Grade 1, the teacher explains colors and numbers using Bisaya before moving to Filipino and English. She
says, “Kini pula, usa ka mansanas” (This is red, one apple), while holding up real fruit. Students then repeat after her,
feeling proud to hear lessons in their own language. Later, she introduces the Filipino and English terms for the same
words, helping them transition naturally. Children learn faster because they fully understand concepts before learning
them in other languages.
The teacher’s use of Bisaya(Mother Tongue) before transitioning to Filipino and English ensures that
students first understand the concept in their own language. This makes learning easier and more effective, and
students feel valued when their culture and language are recognized.
This shows the salient feature of MTB-MLE, which aims to strengthen comprehension and learning through
the mother tongue as a foundation for multilingual proficiency.
4. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)
Scenario Example:
In Science, Grade 3 students first learn that water can be solid, liquid, or gas through experiments like freezing
and boiling. By Grade 4, their teacher introduces plasma using videos showing lightning and neon lights. In Grade 5,
they discuss the unique characteristics of each state of matter in more detail. When they reach Grade 10, they revisit
all four states and explore how particles behave at a molecular level. Because the topic is repeated and deepened each
year, students retain and master it better.
The progression of learning about states of matter from simple (solid, liquid, gas) to more complex (plasma,
molecular behavior) illustrates spiral progression. Each year, the topic is revisited with increasing depth, ensuring
mastery over time.
This shows the salient feature of spiral progression because knowledge is built step by step, allowing
students to retain and expand their understanding as they move to higher grade levels
5. Gearing Up for the Future
Example Scenario:
The grade 11 students are tasked with creating a simple business plan for a product they can sell at a school
fair. One group decides to make handmade bookmarks, calculating costs and pricing with guidance from their teacher.
On fair day, they interact with buyers and record sales, learning real-life entrepreneurial skills. Afterward, they present
their reflections, explaining what worked and what they would improve. These activities prepare them for research,
planning, and problem-solving in higher grades.
By creating a business plan and selling products, students apply classroom concepts to real-life entrepreneurial
tasks. They develop practical skills such as financial literacy, planning, and communication.
This shows the salient feature of gearing up for the future since it equips learners with competencies they
can use in higher education, employment, and daily life.
6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills)
Example Scenario:
The teacher assigns a project where students must interview local farmers about planting techniques. They
work in groups to record videos, edit them using mobile apps, and create a short presentation. In class, they present
their findings confidently in front of their peers while answering questions. The activity strengthens communication,
collaboration, and digital literacy skills. Through these experiences, students learn how to think critically, work as a
team, and express their ideas effectively.
Interviewing farmers, producing digital presentations, and collaborating in groups develop not just academic
knowledge but also critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and digital literacy. These are 21st-century skills
essential for personal and professional success.
This shows the salient feature of Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino because it prepares learners
to be holistically developed ready for both college and livelihood while embodying Filipino values.
1. Strengthening Early Childhood Education (Universal Kindergarten)
Example:
● In Kindergarten, teachers use interactive alphabet games on tablets or smart TVs to teach letters and
sounds.
2. Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement)
Example:
● In Grade 3 Math, instead of abstract word problems, the teacher uses examples about buying fruits in the
local market, which students encounter in daily life.
● In Science, a teacher asks students to observe plants growing in their backyard and discuss how sunlight
affects them, making lessons meaningful and connected to their surroundings.
3. Building Proficiency (Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education)
Example:
● In Grade 1, lessons on numbers are taught using the students’ mother tongue (e.g., Cebuano or Ilocano) so
they clearly understand counting before transitioning to English or Filipino.
4. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)
Example:
● In Grade 4 Science, students learn basic parts of the digestive system, and in Grade 5, they revisit it by
studying how nutrients are absorbed by the body, making the topic deeper and connected.
5. Gearing Up for the Future
Example:
● Teachers incorporate basic coding or robotics kits to spark interest in technology-related careers.
6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills)
Example:
● In classroom group work, students use Google Slides or PowerPoint to present a topic, building
communication and tech skills.
● Teachers encourage problem-solving activities like designing a mini-garden in the school to learn teamwork,
creativity, and responsibility—all of which are life and career skills.
