PREPARED BYMS. MA. VICTORIA P. LOPEZ

LONG-TERM GOAL :

•Employ 21st century approaches to become a more effective and efficient teacher to my

students such as technology literacy, critical thinking,

and collaboration.

SHORT-TERM GOALS :* Adopt the use of computer

technology in the Classroom especially in presenting key points of the lesson;

* Develop better questioning strategies that will motivate critical thinking among students especially in the listening and reading skills;

* Promote collaborative learning among students to develop work efficiency in each other to complete assigned tasks faster.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIESAND TASKS :

1. Assign students to make an 5 minute presentation on any topic relevant to their course major using a multimedia presentation to apply the lesson on the 4 basic

communication skills.

2. Design group activities that will promote collaborative learning among students.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIESAND TASKS :

3. Promote the use of PDRS (Planning, Doing, Reviewing,

and Sharing) in the lesson for Speaking. Emphasize that other basic communication

skills such as Listening (TQLR), Reading (SQ4R), and

Writing (Stages in Writing) have a variation of this same principle. 4. Devised better question strategies that will further develop critical/higher order

thinking among students.
