*The following terms adapted Ruben Puentedura's SAMR Model (substitution, augmenting, modification, and redefining) in technology integration: (i) ICT used “redefine and transform” learning experiences
– The learning materials are able to create new kinds of learning experiences that were not possible before, e.g., using social networking sites to engage with other students from other corners of the globe;
(ii) ICT used “augment and enrich” learning experiences – The use of the tool provides value-added experience, e.g., using Google Jamboard that makes discussion interactive; (iii) ICT used “modify processes and improve” learning experiences –
Using ICT improves processes to increase productivity, e.g., using Google Docs for real time collaboration in group activities.

*The following phrases are defined in terms of Lorin Anderson’s revised categories of the cognitive domain under the Bloom’s Taxonomy: “put parts together” refers to Creating (synthesizing parts into something new to form a
functional whole); “draw conclusions and justify their thinking” refers to Evaluating (making judgments about the value of ideas or materials); “make connections using ideas learned” refers to Analyzing (determining how parts relate);
“describe and explain ideas learned” refers to Applying (applying information and skills to related ideas/concepts/materials) and Understanding (constructing meaning); and “single path of inquiry” and “simple recall and rote
memorization” refer to Remembering (using memory to retrieve/recall ideas).

* This objective is about strategies that respond to “learners in difficult circumstances” (see glossary for the definition). In the context of SY 2020-2021, the Filipino learners (and all the learners across the globe) have been affected by
the COVID-19 pandemic which brought difficulty in the way they learn and live. The efforts that teachers exert to adjust and modify the teaching and learning delivery is captured in this year’s RPMS.
Note: For this objective, two MOVs are required for the entire school year. In computing the rating for Quality: (i) get the corresponding RPMS 5-point scale rating of each COT rating; (ii) calculate the average of the RPMS ratings; and
(iii) find the transmuted RPMS rating.

*Feedback refers to essential and culturally-appropriate written and/or oral information about learners’ performance/output that can be used to raise awareness on their strengths and weaknesses as bases for improvement; Directed constructive feedback
is constructive feedback that gives specific direction on how to make improvements; Specific constructive feedback is constructive feedback that points out a specific issue in a learner’s performance/output; General constructive feedback is constructive
feedback that points out what is commonly observed among learners’ performance/output (and is addressed to the class in general).
**All MOVs for this objective must contain date stamps to keep track of submission of learners’ output/performance and of the learners’ receipt of teachers’ feedback.
Note: For this objective, two MOVs are required for the entire school year. In computing the rating for Quality, calculate the average rating of the two MOV and find the transmuted RPMS rating. Follow the same procedure in
calculating the rating for Timeliness.

GLOSSARY
Content knowledge and pedagogy Competencies that teachers are expected to master for them to teach efficiently and effectively (Department of Education 2017, 24).
Creative thinking skills Involve exploring ideas, generating possibilities and looking for many right answers rather than just one (Department of Education 2017, p. 24)
Refer to the many kinds of intellectual skills that (in its most basic expression) occurs when students are analyzing, evaluating, interpreting, or synthesizing
Critical thinking skills information and applying creative thought to form an argument, solve a problem, or reach a conclusion (Department of Education 2017, 24)
Learning Management System An online platform that can be used for distance learning which includes the DepEd-LMS, DepEd Commons, DepEd Learning Resource (LR) Portal, and third-
party software such as Edmodo, Schoology, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams (Department of Education
2020b, 31)
Refers to the Daily Lesson Log (DLL) or Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) as part of instructional planning (Department of Education 2016b). Other forms of a
Lesson Plan lesson plan are the Weekly Lesson Plan (WLP), Weekly Lesson Log (WLL), Weekly Home Learning Plan (WHLP) and Lesson Exemplars (LE).
Refer to the competencies from the K to 12 curriculum guides which are most useful in many professions and in everyday life, thereby satisfying the so-called
endurance criterion. Anchored on the prescribed standards, these competencies identified by the Department in consultation with stakeholders are to be used
Most Essential Learning
nationwide by field implementers and private schools for SY 2020-2021 as a response to
Competencies (MELCs)
developing resilient education systems most especially during emergencies such as the current global pandemic (Department of Education, 2020a).
Online Asynchronous Teaching A mode of teaching that involves learners downloading materials from the internet, completing and submitting assignments online through a Learning
Management System (LMS) such as the DepEd Commons and DepEd Learning Resource (LR) Portal, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams (Department of
Education 2020b, 31).
Online Synchronous Teaching A mode of teaching that utilizes video conferencing, live chat, instant messaging, or a combination of any of the online tools to engage learners to work in real-
time. These materials may be designed for collaborative tasks to engage learners on virtual collaboration among peers (Department of Education 2020b, 31).
Performance Monitoring and Provides a record of significant incidents (actual events and behavior in which both positive and negative performances are observed) such as demonstrated
Coaching Form (PMCF) behavior, competence and performance (Department of Education 2019b)
Positive use of ICT Responsible, ethical, or appropriate use of ICT to achieve and reinforce learning (Department of Education 2017, 26).
Refer to learning resources crafted by teachers to supplement the materials handed down by the DepEd division/regional/central offices. These materials should
be aligned with DepEd standards and support the contextualized needs of learners in online, modular, and TV- and radio-based instruction. These teacher-made
learning materials can be printed or digital modules, activity sheets, interactive e- materials, and MELCs-aligned video- and audio-lessons (Department of
Supplementary materials
Education - Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction 2020, 3). Writing tasks can also be part of the supplementary materials where learners can write the
challenges they are facing and what parts
of the lesson they did not fully understand and need additional help for from their teacher (Department of Education 2020b, 37)
Teaching and learning resources Teaching aids and other materials that teachers use not only to enhance teaching and learning but also to
assist learners to meet the expectations for learning as defined by the curriculum (Department of Education 2017, 27)
“functions as a professional learning community for teachers that will help them improve practice and learner achievement” (Department of Education 2016a, i).
LAC aims to improve the teaching-learning process that will lead to improved learning among the students; to nurture successful teachers; to enable teachers to
Learning Action Cell (LAC) support each other to continuously improve their content and pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes; and to foster a professional collaborative
spirit among school heads, teachers, and the community as a
whole (Department of Education 2016a, 3).
“During pandemic and other disruptive events, all public elementary and secondary school teachers in the region shall prepare their lesson exemplars instead
Lesson Exemplar of the usual Detailed Lesson Plan (DLPs) and/or Daily Learning Logs (DLL) for MELCs and/or enabling competencies” (Department of Education -
CALABARZON 2020, 10).
Refers to a learning material similar to a video-recorded lesson and video-taped lesson used for online asynchronous teaching or used as supplementary
Video lesson material. This material can be uploaded to YouTube, Google Classroom, or any online platform, or distributed via
storage devices (e.g., flash drives or CD-ROMs).
Weekly Home Learning Plan “The Weekly Home Learning Plan (WHLP) shall be prepared by teachers implementing Distance and Blended Learning while the DLP or DLL…shall be
(WHLP) prepared by teachers implementing F2F learning” (Department of Education - Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction 2020, Appendix D).
