Students’ Strengths and Interests
• You will have a fuller picture of the students by knowing
not only areas of difficulty, but also areas where they excel.
• Knowing their interests would let you know things that
they like and willing to work. Chances are they will
persevere much longer.
Teacher’s Strengths and Weaknesses
• Knowing your strengths and weaknesses gives you a better
understanding of how you best operate. It helps increase your
self-awareness. You would know in which area you excel and
you need support during the process of integrating course
contents and skills (collaboration stage).
• This will help you in providing quality integrated activities that
promote and enhance life-long learning skills.
• There is a saying that “you cannot give what you do not have”.
Once you identify your weakness(es), you can seek support
from your colleagues who are good on that areas.
Nature of the Course
• It is essential to understand the nature
or distinct feature of the course(s) that you wish
to integrate.
• Does the course put more emphasis on (1)
learning different set skills or (2) learning
concepts?
Colleges and Community Resources
• What are the materials and equipment are available
on campus?
• Who are the people who can support and enhance
the learning experience?
- These factors are important in order to provide a
culturally and developmentally appropriate integrated
course contents, skills and activities to students.

5. Course
Learning
Outcomes
Assessments
and
Evaluations
Assessment and Evaluations
• Information being collected on all goals and curriculum areas
• Information being recorded, analyzed, and utilized
• Students being involved in the process
• Sharing and transferring information
Course Learning Outcomes
• Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are central to your course’s
curriculum. They articulate to students, faculty, and other
stakeholders what students will achieve in each course and how
their learning will be measured.
• A CLO is a measurable, observable, and specific statement that
clearly indicates what a student should know and be able to do
as a result of learning.
