WAP Rationale for HOTS-PLPs
• 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).
6
• 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.

WAP Rationale
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.
