Crafting of School Improvement Plan (SIP)
Duration of 4 hours
Session
Key The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) was created to
Understandin provide classroom teachers a tool for measuring and describing reading
gs to be performance. It is an assessment tool composed of graded passages
developed designed to determine a student’s reading level. It is important to note
that the Phil-IRI only provides an approximation of the learner’s
abilities and may be used in combination with other reliable tools of
assessment.
The development of the Phil-IRI is one of the initiatives put in place in
support of the Every Child A Reader Program (ECARP). Before teachers
can design and provide appropriate reading instruction for their
students, they should be armed with information about their students’
current reading levels and abilities. This diagnostic approach to
describing how children read embraces inclusionary principles that
emphasize the need for education that is learner-oriented, responsive
and culturally sensitive. The Phil-IRI is one of the diagnostic tools that
teachers can use to determine students' abilities and needs in reading.
Learning To provide an orientation on Phil-IRI Manual 2018

Objectives  Informed, updated and oriented with the new Phil-IRI Manual 2018
 Identify the 4 Staged of Phil-IRI Manual 2018
 Familiarizes with the new Phil-IRI Forms and Answer Sheets
Resources - Hand-outs on using MS PowerPoint Features and Application
- PowerPoint Presentation
- Activity Sheet
Introductory Exercise 1
Activity 1. Small group discusiion on how the issues are currently resolved. Ask
(20 mins) group to present discussion using power point presnetation.
Key issues when reporting back:
a. Have these issues beeen addressed before
b. Have your approaches been sucessful
c. Are there aspects of current approaches that have not worked
d. Has there been resistance to implementation
e. Assess if the issues can be resolved with A/R
f. Ask the group if they would like to change the seating so they can talk
with each other to encourage interaction in the consultation process
Activity Divide the participants according to grade level.
(30 minutes) 1. Each group will be given construction paper and pentel pen to be use in
crafting Action Research title.
The manual includes information about the Phil-IRI, the directions for
the administration of the test, and instructions for recording and
reporting results. It serves as a guide to teachers, principals and
supervisors in administering the tests as well as in recording results.
Filipino (for Grade 3 to Grade 6 learners) English (for Grade 4 to Grade 6
learners) Type of Test Pretest Posttest Pretest Posttest Phil-IRI Group
Screening Test (GST) Within the first or second month of the school year
Within January to February of the school year Within the first or second
month of the school year Within January to February of the school year
Individualized Phil-IRI Assessment (only for pupils who did not pass the
GST) Within a month after the GST is administered Within a month after
the GST is administered Table 1. Schedule of Phil-IRI Administration 5
The manual should be studied carefully before administering the Phil-IRI
Tests. The mechanics of administration are the same for both Filipino
and English. Thus, only one manual will be printed for both languages.
The manual also contains the Keys to Correction for both the Group
Screening Tests and the Phil-IRI Graded Passages in Filipino and English.
Analysis A. Gallery Walk
(30 minutes) Have the participants go over the output of the other group and take
note their observations for the big group discussion
B. Big Group Discussion
Sum up the responses of the participants and use it as springboard to
the discussion on designing PowerPoint slide presentation.
Ask:
a. How do you feel doing the activity?
b. What were your bases in grouping the word/s?
Abstraction/ In the first topic, the teachers learned about the essentials of research in regards to
Generalizatio guides and tools. Each of the parts of the action research was thoroughly discussed so
n the teachers understood fully what to write and include in it. On the other hand, the
(60 minutes) second topic made the teachers know about the mechanics and format of writing the
action research proposal and the action research itself. 1Discuss with the participants
the key understandings learned from the power point presentation and clarify
questions if there are.
Some questions were raised about the topics being discussed throughout the
program but those were also addressed well.
There are several advantages for teachers to conduct action research. First, it
helps educators use data, rather than preferences or hunches, to guide
improvement efforts. This makes the process of action research more
scientific in nature, proposing ideas and theories that can be back up by data.
This gives teachers something more concrete to work with instead of just
relying on the principles that teachers have used in the past. Times change,
and the way we teach kids has to change along with the times. There have
been a lot of changes to the way things are taught in school as a result of the
work of action research.
Another advantage of implementing action research lies in the fact it

addresses the both the quality of students education and the professional
growth of teachers. Logically, this would be the ideal strategy in order for
students to learn most effectively and for teachers to teach most effectively.
By actually reflecting on what a teacher is doing in the classroom, it becomes
easier to see what problems are there, and there is usually some indication of
how to go about solving the problem.
Application Individual Activity

(20 minutes) Let the participants select a topic of interest. Craft another research title.
Concluding Let the participant reflect on the following:

Activity
(10 minutes) Characteristics of a Good Research Title
According to rhetoric scholars Hairston and Keene, making a good title
involves ensuring that the research title accomplishes four goals. First, a good
title predicts the content of the research paper. Second, a good title should be
interesting to the reader. Third, it should reflect the tone of the writing. Fourth
and finally, it should contain important keywords that will make it easier to be
located during a keyword search.
