Introduction
This Teacher’s Guide is intended for you, the TLE teacher, who teaches any of the more than 24 TLE exploratory courses in the Grades 7 and 8 of the
K to 12 curriculum. To ensure that you teach the TLE exploratory courses the way they were intended to be taught, you must see the big picture of the K to 12
curriculum and the teaching of TLE. Some background information is necessary.
Background Information
The K to 12 Curriculum has as its overarching goal the holistic development of every Filipino learner with 21st century skills who is adequately
prepared for work, entrepreneurship, middle level skills development and higher education. The over arching goal of the K to 12 curriculum, tells
you that the teaching of TLE plays a very important role in the realization of the overall goal of the curriculum. Whether or not the K to 12 graduate
is skilled and ready for work, entrepreneurship and middle skills development depend to a great extent on how effectively you taught TLE.
Below is a schematic diagram of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) framework in general secondary schools. This should guide you in
the teaching of the TLE exploratory courses.
The diagram shows that Technology and Livelihood Education encompasses the field of Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Agri-Fishery Arts and ICT. The 24
TLE courses can be categorized under any of these fields.

TLE is geared towards the development of technological proficiency and is anchored on knowledge and information, entrepreneurial concepts,
process and delivery, work values and life skills. K to 12 TLE is…
a. one that is built on adequate mastery of knowledge and information, skills and processes, acquisition of right work values and life skills;
b. one that equip students with skills for lifelong learning; and
c. one that is founded on cognitive, behavioral or psychomotor and affective dimensions of human development.
The diagram likewise shows that entrepreneurial concepts also form part of the foundation of quality TLE. It is expected that your TLE students,
after using the Learning Module on Entrepreneurship, imbibe the entrepreneurial spirit and consequently set up their own businesses in the areas
of Agri-Fishery Arts, Industrial Arts, Home Economics, and Information and Communication Technology.
TLE by its nature is dominantly a skill subject and so you must engage your students in an experiential, contextualized, and authentic teaching-
learning process. It is a subject where your students learn best by doing. It is integrative in approach. For instance, it integrates entrepreneurship
with all the areas of TLE. It integrates concepts, skills and values.
TLE in Grades 7 and 8 are exploratory in nature. Your school will choose at least 4 from the list of 24 courses for which 23 Learning Modules have
been prepared. 1Your school’s choice is determined by the availability of its resources (faculty and facilities) as well as the local needs and
resources of the community.
The 24 TLE exploratory courses focus on four basic common competencies: 1) use and maintenance of tools and equipment; 2) mensuration and
calculation; 3) occupational health and safety procedures, and 4) preparation and interpretation of technical drawing. Why are these competencies
called basic? Because they are competencies that you must acquire in order that you can do higher level competencies. They are also described
common because these are true to all TR-based TLE courses.

There are 24 TLE courses but there are only 23 Learning Modules because there is one Learning Module for Tailoring and Dressmaking.

There is a Learning Module for each exploratory course. If there are 24 exploratory courses then you have 24 Learning Modules in your hands. But
you will use 4 Modules only for the entire year in Grade 7(plus a fifth one on Entrepreneurship) and another 4 Modules in Grade 8 (plus a fifth one on
Entrepreneurship).
Each Learning Module consists of 4 to 5 Lessons2. The Lessons are focused on the 4 to 5 basic competencies. To avoid meaningless repetition of the
teaching of the 5 common competencies, you have to teach them in the context of the TLE course. For example, you teach “use and maintenance of tools” in
beauty care when you are teaching the course on Beauty Care. You teach the same competencies - use and maintenance of tools-in Horticulture but in the
context of Horticulture and so your tools will not be entirely the same.
What’s new in the teaching of TLE in the K to 12 curriculum? In the K to 12 curriculum, the TLE courses are taught based on the learning
outcomes and performance criteria stated on the Training Regulations(TR)from Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). They are TR-
based.
Why is this necessary? To prepare the K to 12 graduate for lucrative work, he/she must earn a National Certificate (NC)I, II or even an NC of higher
level that is required by industries. This he/she earns after passing an assessment given by TESDA.
How can you ensure that the K to 12 high school student (Grade 9 to 12) pass TESDA assessment and obtain an NC? By seeing to it that you
teach the TLE course in accordance with the performance criteria and learning outcomes laid down in the TESDA Training Regulations.
Do the exploratory courses enable the high school student to earn already an NC? Not yet. Completion of the exploratory courses may not yet
qualify a high school student to take an assessment for an NC. Instead, it helps him/her earn a Certificate of Competency (COC) at least in Grade 9 that will
lead eventually him/her to an NC. In short, the COC paves the way to the earning of an NC.
2
Some Learning Modules combined use and maintenance of tools to make one Lesson, so the number of Lessons amount to 4; others made separate Lessons for use of tools and for
maintenance of tools, thus the total is 5 Lessons.

Student’s choice of TLE specialization begins in Grades [Link] been exposed to an array of TLE courses during the exploratory phase in the
first two years, the student will be most benefited, if in Grades 10,11, or 12 he/she continues with a TLE course in which he/she already has a COC. In that
way, he/she will get an NC faster.
a. The Module is designed to be a teacher-assisted learning kit or a self-learning kit on competencies that a Grade 7 TLE ought to possess. It
explores the course on Carpentry which helps your student earn a Certificate of Competency in Grade 9which leads to a National Certificate Level I
/ II (NCI / II)in Grades 10, 11 or 12.
b. The Learning Module is made up of 4 to 5 Lessons based on the competencies. Each Lesson contains the following:
1) Learning Outcomes
2) Performance Standards
3) Materials/Resources
4) Definition of Terms
5) What Do You Already Know?
6) What Do You Need to Know?
7) How Much Have You Learned?
8) How Do You Apply What You Learned?
9) What Is Your Score?
10) References
There are some TLE Modules which have a section on “How Do You Extend Your Learning?”, This section is meant for enrichment. It is usually
given as an assignment for not everything can be taught and done in the classroom given a limited time.

Reflection
It is a good habit to reflect on your teaching for the day – what went well, what did not go well, why this activity went well with this group, why it didn’t
work well with the other group. What are your realizations? What are lessons learned? Jot them down in your diary. Commit them to your memory. If you do
this consistently, you will find your delivery improve substantially.
