The document outlines sessions for teacher training on contextualizing learning competencies for an Alternative Learning System curriculum. The sessions aim to: 1) familiarize teachers with contextualized competencies, 2) identify critical competencies, and 3) suggest techniques for contextualization. A variety of activities are used including grouping based on attributes, sorting competency statements, and matching examples to local contexts. The goals are for teachers to understand the contextualized competencies and how to localize lesson content and examples for their learners.
