DIFERRENT FACTORS TO LOOK FOR IN RATING EACH INDICATOR DURING

OBSERVATION

1. Applies knowledge of content within and across curriculum teaching areas

a. Integrate/interweave of skills/tasks/process within the learning areas
-this means that we use other skills or process in the learning areas taught
-example…..
Objective/Skill: Making inference and noting details from a dialogue
Other English Skills used in teaching the subject matter:
-Vocabulary skill (unlocking of difficulties, meaning of the word)
-Reading skill (falling and rising intonation, pronunciation
-Listening skill
-Writing skill
*Writing the correct spelling of words learned in listening, speaking and
reading
*Writing sentence, paragraph, poems, rhymes, responses or reported
Statements
*Follow simple directions in answering, questions, doing activities or
group work
*Using other competencies/skills/concepts within the subject taught
b. Used integration of strategies across other subject/learning areas
-this means that we integrate other skills in other learning areas/subject
-example…
English Skill: Making inference and noting details from a dialogue
*we integrate science skill already specifically the science Process
skill which is inferring and communicating
*in the dialogue they use telephone then you have a brief discussion
on how the telephone was made, the inventor and its use
-by doing so, you are already integrating science concept.
*modeled in answering the telephone using polite expression
-in this case you are integrating the skill in values
*a concise discussion on the distance of message travelled in
meters/kilometers
-you are referring to the numbers by m/km then you are
integrating mathematics
*even setting standard, norms and house rules during group work
then followed by the learners are already integrating the ESP skills
of respect, obedience, cooperation and discipline.
Remember that when you integrate or interweave skill within or across learning
areas you have to discuss the concept briefly and highlight the integrated skill in
your lesson plan.
