II. Background and Rationale of WAP:
In 2018, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results suggested that most Filipino students need more time to be ready
for life after school. These areas of learners’ poor performance were interestingly identified in an analysis of teachers’ performance in the
Teacher Development Needs Study (TDNS, 2014). The poor assessment results for Filipino learners, therefore, necessitate a reform initiative
directed at supporting the strengthening of teachers’ subject knowledge and pedagogy to improve learner performance.
To assist in this reform initiative, the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) and the Research Center for Teacher Quality
(RCTQ) collaborate to develop Professional Learning Packages (PLPs) in Mathematics, Science, and English/Reading for teachers in grades 7
and 8, and grades 9 and 10.
The PD Program [HOTS-PLPs] goals are to:
●
●
enhance teachers’ competencies in performing SOLO-based pedagogy; and
improve teachers’ teaching strategies and practices that promote the development of higher order thinking skills of the learners.
The following professional standards/competencies are being addressed in the HOTS-PLPs:
● address the appropriate indicators in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST indicators 1.5.2 and 1.5.3), the Philippine
Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH indicator 3.2.2), and the Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS indicator
3.1.2).

framework in enhancing the
learners’ cognitive level and in
providing learning opportunities
for them to develop higher order
thinking skills (HOTS)
IV. Implementation Plan [the WAP must be implemented within 6 months after the training]
Application Objective [it must be aligned with the PD Program Goals]
2
Incorporate the SOLO framework in enhancing the learners’ cognitive level and in providing learning opportunities for them to
develop higher order thinking skills (HOTS)
Specific Task
[minimum of two (2)]
(Aligned with the application
objective, what are the specific
tasks of a teacher to enhance the
learners’ cognitive level and to
provide learning opportunities to
develop HOTS)
1. [e.g. lesson
planning]
Activities
(Specify activities on the
identified task)
Timeline
(Start-end of each activity)
[e.g. incorporate SOLO
framework on the
instructional plan,
especially on the learning
activities]
[e.g. during the 40minute required
classroom observation]
Expected Outcomes/
MOVs
(It represents what is predicted
or intended to happen as a
result of implementing a specific
task or initiative)
[e.g. increased learners’
engagement through various
learning activities anchored
to SOLO framework]
Learning Facilitator
(Immediate Supervisor or
peer assigned to guide the
teacher)
[e.g. identify the names]
