Importance of WAP

Implementation plans are a crucial part
of a project because they take the ideas
from the strategic plan and convert
them into actionable steps that the team
can take to accomplish its goals.

Importance of WAP
22
Planning is necessary to map out what you
need to do in order to achieve your goals.
However, without the execution of those plans,
you won’t get anywhere. The implementation of
an idea is how you start your journey towards
achieving your goals and eventually reach your
destination.
23. 🔥 Training on Higher-Order Thinking Skills PLP
Importance of WAP
23
Plans are important because they
provide a vision for what one aims to
accomplish. This understanding keeps
one working to achieve his/her goals
and deliver excellent results.

WAP Rationale for HOTS-PLPs

• The poor assessment results for
Filipino learners necessitate a reform
initiative directed at supporting the
strengthening of teachers’ subject
knowledge and pedagogy to improve
learner performance.

🔥 Training on Higher-Order Thinking Skills PLP
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.

The PD Program (HOTS-PLPs) goals are to:
• enhance teachers’ competencies in performing SOLO-based pedagogy; and
• Improve teachers’ teaching strategies and practices that promote the
development of higher order thinking skills of the learners.
The following professional standards/competencies are being address in the HOTS-
PLPs:
• address the appropriate indicators in the Philippine Professional Standards for
Teachers (PPST indicators 1.5.2 and 1.5.3); the Philippine Professional
Standards for Schools Heads (PPSSH indicator 3.2.2), and the Philippine
Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS indicator 3.1.2).
