DAY 2 – JULY 2, 2024
On day two of training, Dr. Myra Ambalong taught us how to identify
competencies in learning that may be unpacked. This technique enables
teachers to construct a learning plan and more readily relate instructional
activities to students' everyday lives.
Dr. Ambalong provided us with curriculum guide samples that we
unpacked and clustered to address repetitive or similar topics, allowing us to
cover multiple lessons in a single class. She also instructed us on proper
classroom etiquette and introduced activities tailored to specific topics.
Before leaving, we had an opportunity to ask questions as well as a take
pictures as a class.

attending teachers and guest speakers who contributed their time and expertise
on the MATATAG Curriculum. Schools also took photos to commemorate their
involvement in the 2024 ICAPESS MATATAG CURRICULUM TRAINING.
