____________________________________________________________________
In a clean sheet of paper, identify three core principles we discussed in the class. Then
describe how a current or previous teacher demonstrated in practice the principle you
selected and discussed. Share your insights on how your teacher’s assessment
practices allowed you to improve your learning.
Principle Illustration of Practice
1. Encourage contact between students The contacts between the teachers and
and faculty students are vital to the student’s success.
This is a practice on how the teachers
communicate to their students effectively.
2. Develop reciprocity and cooperation Characteristics of good learning and

among students collaborative and social. Working together
improves thinking and understanding.
3. Encourage active learning Learning is active process. The students

need to make learning a part of them as a
practice on how they improve effectively.

____________________________________________________________________
Prepare a plan on how you will conduct assessment based on the core principles
we learned. Refer to the K to 12 Curriculum to identify the competencies targeted by
instruction and how you intend to assess your future students following the principles in
assessing learning using alternative methods. Use the matrix provided to write your
ideas on how you should design and conduct assessment of student learning based on
the core principles.
Principle Plan in Applying the principles in Your

Now select a specific lesson for a subject area and grade level that you think you should
be able to teach and handle when you are already a teacher in a school. Using the DepEd
Curriculum Guide for the subject, create an assessment plan for student learning by formulating
learning targets that can be best assessed using alternative methods of assessment (you may
focus on skills, products, affective, or any combination of these learning targets). Then, propose
specific nontraditional assessment tasks or activities to measure the identified learning targets.
Use Table 2.8 for this task.
