Training & Development Resource Packages

Training and Development (T&D) Resource Development involves the preparation of resource packages. A T&D Resource Package is an organized compilation of the instructional program and required materials that support the delivery of a specific professional development activity. It contains the program content, the processes and the support materials that are carefully developed following the specifications indicated in its program design.

A T&D Resource Package generally contains the following: I. General Program Design Information such as: title, description, prerequisite programs, duration, management level of program, delivery mode, target personnel, rationale, objectives, end of program outputs, expected final outcomes/success indicators II. The Program Delivery details such as: content and expected outputs, schedule matrix , learning approach and methodology, supplies/equipment/materials III. The Activity Guides IV. Handouts, Readings and PowerPoints V. Monitoring and Evaluation Scheme and Tools

Standards and Guiding Principles for the Development of a T&D Resource Package

The following standards and guiding principles have been developed to inform the resource development process:

Learner and Learning-Focused  The resource package targets competency enhancement and change in practice of professionals for improved student learning.  Materials integrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) which promote the creation of learning communities  The program content and methodology support adult learning and a collaborative learning environment.  The learning process promotes continuous professional learning.  The instructional program is based on the identified needs and competencies of the target group required for a specific job.

Authority-based  The instructional program is based on findings of current research and incorporates innovative strategies and best practices.  The resource package is a product of collaboration between qualified and competent educators.  Program materials build on existing quality programs and are based on reliable sources

6 Relevant content  The resource materials deepen professionals’ knowledge on content, provides them with research-based instructional and assessment strategies to enhance their competencies in improving school performance and students’ learning.  The session guides are carefully engineered learning experiences designed to develop the specified competencies of the target professionals.  The program content describes the skills or knowledge to be learned in a way that the trainee understands.

Job-embedded methodology/technology  The strategy provides opportunity for the professionals to perform the skills or use the knowledge under conditions closely resembling the job.  The program uses technology that can be used immediately by the trainees.  Materials, strategies and time allotted are adequate for professionals to learn, practice, and apply new concepts and techniques in their current job.  The methodology is interactive (i.e. it actively involves the professionals throughout the training.)  T&D Resource packages are technology enhanced and cost effective.

Assessment –inclusive  The resource package provides materials for professionals to test themselves on the skills and knowledge learned.  The Resource package is evaluated and improved for future use

Personnel involved in the T&D Resource Development Process

The Resource Development process is usually done by the PDRD-WG. The membership of the PDRD-WG will vary depending on specific resource requirements and include an expanded pool of master teachers or experts who will be needed to develop more specialized or technical materials for the resource package identified.

The PDRD-WG members are selected in line with the following criteria: . knowledge and expertise in the content area related to the resource package to be developed . adequate knowledge of the target group which is the focus of the resource package . experience in resource development ( e.g. session guide development, module writing) . highly developed writing skills . at least three years experience in their field of expertise . at least a Very Satisfactory (VS) performance rating for each of the last three years . preferably computer literate

Resource Development Guide and Tools Page 7 Technical assistance from educational experts within the cluster, the district/division, the regional or from other sources e.g. TEIs, may be sought to support the work of the PDRD- WG at the different levels. Resource persons or on-call consultants may be required to support highly specialized content areas. The PDRD-WG is responsible for overseeing the monitoring and evaluation of the resource development and the QA Team is responsible for assuring the quality of the completed program resource packages.

The T&D Resource Development Process

As soon as the Program Design is completed, the PDRD-WG will need to make a decision about who will be responsible for the development of the resource package. In making this decision the PDRD-WG would need to take into consideration as the following:

 the nature of the program design and the level of complexity required to develop the resource. For example at the school level, some programs such as those designed for a LAC session may require the development of a less complex resource package, while others such as a face-to-face training program may require the development of an extensive resource package.

 the availability of experts to develop the program. For example, some schools may have existing expertise to develop a specific resource package among their current staff, while others may not depending on the nature of the program.

 the time which will be required to develop the resource package. For example, the development of resource packages by staff at the school level should not adversely affect the teachers’ prime responsibility of teaching.

If the PDRD-WG believes that it can manage the development of the resource package then this group will be tasked to review available training resources for adoption/adaptation or to develop new ones. Available materials may be accessed from the LRMDS Portal http:// lrmds . deped.gov.ph / or from other sources such as the internet.

The available training resource packages may be adopted or adapted for use depending on their suitability. If there are no available materials, the PDRD-WG can proceed to develop the required resource package as specified by the program design. A set of guidelines and template found in the following section may be used to support the development of program resource packages.

If necessary, a request can be made for the LRMDS to develop the technical component of the resource materials based on specifications developed by the PDRD-WG. This may include an interactive format, powerpoint presentations of the content, visual enhancements and other technical elements of the resource package. Resource Packages can be collaboratively developed, if needed, by personnel from both the T&D and LRMD systems.

If the PDRD-WG feels to the need for assistance in the management and development of the resource package then a request, through the SH/SDS/RD, may be made for external support. For example, assistance at the school level may be sought from the cluster, district, division, region or from a service provider.

8 Preliminary Steps in Preparing a T&D Resource Package

1. Study the Program Design together with the T&D Resource Package Template.

The PDRD-WG carefully studies the Program Design and the elements required by the T&D Resource Package Template (see Attachment 1) to examine and familiarize themselves with the specifications that should guide the search for, or development of, the needed resource package. It is important to define the program scope particularly the Content Matrix indicating the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) that are the focus for the particular program.

The specifications detailed in the Program Design should be considered flexible enough to incorporate any significant new ideas recommended by experts/resource persons who have been invited to provide technical assistance for the resource development.

2. Review available program resource packages.

a. Before closely examining any existing program resource, it is necessary to ensure that there are no restrictions in place regarding its use. It is important to check the copyright details associated with the materials to make sure DepED is able to use and reproduce it if required. If restrictions apply for DepED to utilize the program resource materials, it may not be feasible to consider the resource.

b. If existing program resources are available and can be used by DepED, then the PDRD-WG will need to make a decision as to the suitability of the materials for the intended program. In reviewing the materials the PDRD-WG needs to:

 Compare what is described in the program design with what is outlined in the existing resource material under review. Make a decision in terms of their applicability and suitability of the resource material and whether it can be utilized.

 If the resource material appears to be suitable, examine it further to see if it incorporates the standards and guiding principles which should be evident in program resources. The M&E tool, RD-M&E Form 2: Program Resource Package Review/Quality Assurance Tool should assist in this process.

c. Based on the review process, a decision is made to either:

 Adopt the existing resource package without any changes  Adapt the existing resource package and align it to current program requirements  Not to use the existing resource and to develop a new resource

Resource Development Guide and Tools Page 9 package

Steps in Adopting, Adapting Existing Resource Materials or Developing a New Resource Package

If an existing resource package is considered suitable of adoption without requiring any further modifications, then the PDRD-WG should  review the materials and equipment required to implement the program  prepare a budget that will support the program delivery in line with the program specification and appropriated budget indicated in the program design. A template for the budget has been developed and can be found as Attachment 1; and  submit the Resource Package, along with the budget to the T&D Chief/Chair for approval prior to its delivery.

If existing program resource package/materials need to be adapted or modified, it is suggested that the steps outlined below are followed. Content from the existing program can be incorporated where appropriate. The same steps are recommended for the development of a new resource package for a specific program.

1. Study and observe the standards and guiding principles. There are set standards and guiding principles for the development of a new program resource package found at the beginning of this guide. Make sure that these standards are met and that the principles are observed in the materials that will be developed.

2. Study the T&D Resource Package Template. Examine the required information and the key elements expected to be included in the Resource Package Template found in Attachment 1. An e-version of the template should be used by the PDRD-WG when developing the resource package and guide the process.

3. Complete the write-up of the specific program resource package which is being developed:

3.1. Write the required General Program Information.

The General Program Information is the same as that in the first section of the Program Design. This contains the Title, Program Description, Prerequisite Program, if any, Duration, Management Level of the Program, Delivery Mode, Target Personnel, Budget Requirements, Rationale, Objectives, End of Program Outputs and Expected Final Outcomes/Success Indicators.

This may be copied en toto and pasted in the required section of the Resource Development Template. There may be some minor refinements made in the course of the development process that need to be adjusted.

3.2. Organize the Detailed Program Content and Expected Outputs Matrix

10 The scope of the Program Design e.g. the Content Matrix is used as the primary reference for the development of this section. This section calls for a sequentially organized conceptualization of the sessions or activities to be conducted and the corresponding specific objectives, subject matter content, duration of activity, expected outputs and resource materials that will support the delivery of each activity/session. This will become the basis of the development of session or activity guides for the program.

3.3. Finalize the Program Schedule Matrix

Review the Activity Schedule found in the Program Design. This time, organize the activity/session titles (as identified in Program Content and Expected Outputs matrix developed in step #3.2) across the matrix. The Program Schedule Matrix guides the facilitators for the time management of the program delivery. The time allotment controls the volume of content that is developed for each session, or vice-versa.

3.4. Describe the instructional approach to be used for the program and on which the resource package is developed with consideration of the following:

3.4.1. Describe the general learning approach and methodology that is used for the program with consideration of the Formal Face-to-Face (F3) and the Job-embedded Learning (JEL) components. The andragogical or adult learning approach, for instance, is widely used for professional development training. The principles of adult learning are used to get intended results for competency-based professional development. The learning principles of constructivism may also be considered in identified professional development activities where these are appropriately used. (See section #4 below for the principles for andragogical and constructivist learning.)

3.5. List the required supplies and materials

There is an initial list of supplies and materials needed to conduct the training found in the Program Design. This may be reviewed and finalized in this section. The list should includes the materials and equipment required to facilitate all sessions (e.g. LCD, manila paper, markers, whiteboard, etc) as well as those needed by the target participants (IDs, training kit, folder, notebook, and pen).

4. Develop the Activity Guides based on andragogical and constructivist principles.

4.1. Activity Guide Templates for Formal Face-to-Face (F3) training and Job-embedded Learning (JEL) are suggested in Attachment 1 of this guide. Generally, the strategies follow the learning approach, which uses the andragogical and constructivist principles of learning.

4.1.1. Andragogy initially defined as "the art and science of helping adults learn," can be traced back to Alexander Kapp, a

Resource Development Guide and Tools Page 11 German grammar teacher who used it to describe Plato’s educational theory in 1833. Malcolm Knowles heard about the term and in 1968 and used it in an article on “Adult Leadership”. Since then, Knowles has become known as the principal expert on andragogy. The term andragogy has taken on a broader meaning since Knowles' first edition. The term currently defines an alternative to pedagogy and refers to learner-focused education for people of all ages. The six assumptions of andragogy as explained in the book, The Adult Learner by Knowles, Holton III, and Swanson published in 1998 are:

 Adults need to know why they should learn something.  Adults’ self-concept projects new patterns of learning where they become self-directed, taking responsibility for their own learning and the direction it takes.  Adults have a lifetime of experience and they want to use what they know and want to be acknowledged for having that knowledge.  Adults become ready to learn something when they experience a need to learn it in order to cope more satisfyingly with real-life tasks or problems.  Adults are life, task or problem-centered in their orientation to learning.  Internal rather than external motivation for learning are more important such as increased job satisfaction, self-esteem and quality of life. 4.1.2 Constructivist learning theory says that all knowledge is constructed from a base of prior knowledge. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in. Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. Below are seven of the principles of constructivism that may be used to guide Trainers/Mentors in engaging adult learners to participate in active learning:  Encourage and accept learners’ autonomy and initiative.  Use raw data and primary sources for learning, e.g. student test results, lesson plans, examination papers, lesson guides, school improvement plans.  For cognitive-based learning, use terms such as classify, analyze, predict, and create.  Use learner responses to build lesson concepts, change instructional strategies, and modify content.  Encourage learners to engage in dialogue, both with the Trainer/Mentor and with other learners.  Encourage learner inquiry by allowing them to ask thoughtful, open-ended questions and to ask questions to each other.

12  Seek elaboration of learner’s initial responses.

4.2. The session guides for the F3 component of the training could be developed to include the following elements: 4.2.1. Identifying Information: Session Title, Duration, Key Understandings, Objectives, and Resources needed for the session.

4.2.2. The body of the session guide contains the suggested conduct of the activities using the 4A’s: Activity, Analysis, Abstraction and Application.

 Introductory Activity: This part introduces the session content. Although at times optional, it is usually included to serve as a warm-up activity to give the learners/participants zest for the incoming session and an idea about what it to follow. One principle in learning is that learning occurs when it is conducted in a pleasurable and comfortable atmosphere.

 Activity: This is an interactive strategy to elicit adults’ prior learning experience. It serves as a springboard for new learning. It illustrates the principle that learning starts where the learners are. Carefully structured activities such as individual or group reflective exercises, group discussion, self-or group assessment, dyadic or triadic interactions, puzzles, simulations or role-play, cybernetics exercise, gallery walk and the like may be created. Clear instructions should be considered in this part of the session.

 Analysis: Essential questions are included to serve as a guide for the facilitator in clarifying key understandings about the topic at hand. Critical points are organized to structure the discussions allowing the trainees to maximize interactions and sharing of ideas and opinions about expected issues. Affective questions are included to elicit the feelings of the learners about the activity or the topic. The last questions or points taken should lead the trainees to understand the new concepts or skills that are to be presented in the next part of the session.

 Abstraction: This outlines the key concepts, important skills that should be enhanced, the proper attitude that should be emphasized, and ways to improve one’s professional competencies. This is organized as a lecturette that summarizes the learning emphasized from the activity, analysis and new inputs in this part of the session.

 Application: This part is structured to ensure the commitment of the trainees to do something to apply their new learning in their own environment. Teachers, for instance, may create a learning structure for trying out a new teaching strategy. For School Heads, a plan to start a specific action where application of new learning is demonstrated.

Resource Development Guide and Tools Page 13  Concluding Activity: This is usually a brief but affective closing activity such as a strong quotation, a short song, an anecdote, parable or a letter that inspires the participants to do something to practice their new learning.

4.3. A Job-embedded Learning (JEL) Contract Template is included as a part of the Resource package. It is a guide for the trainee to outline his/her plans to further implement learning activities in the workplace after a professional development activity. The contract contains the objectives, activities, timeframe; contact time required with the trainee’s JEL Team, resources needed, and the accomplishments and means of verifying outputs. This contract is accomplished by the trainee at the end of the F3 and/or in collaboration with a JEL Adviser. The JEL Adviser is generally a designated trainer of the F3 program and/or the trainee’s immediate supervisor and takes responsibility for supporting the trainees in the implementation of the JEL contract.

The JEL basically flows through six stages: 1. Plan Confirmation with JEL Team 2. Implementation of specific JEL activities 3. Reflection of accomplishments 4. Enhancement of identified KSAs with difficulties 5. Internalization for a job-embedded practice 6. Sharing best practice with others

Further details on JEL can be found in the T&D Systems Operations Manual Volume 5: The Program Delivery System.

4.4 The duration for each section of the session is included in the activity/session guide.

4.5 Notes are provided for the facilitator, whenever needed, at any part of the session guide.

5. Develop Handouts and Support Materials

This portion is organized as a complete set of materials required for the conduct of the program. It includes the development of required  handouts for the trainee’s further study of the session content. The handouts should be based on the salient points discussed in the Abstraction part of the session.  templates to support the actually delivery of specific activities during the sessions  Powerpoint presentations to support the delivery of the sessions.

5.1. For new materials developed, the write-up must be properly documented, i.e. sources or references are acknowledged and quotations lifted are properly cited. If the whole material is used, the author must be

14 written right after the title of the material, including the source.

5.2. Organize the handouts/templates in the order that they are to be used in the sessions.

6. Describe the monitoring and evaluation processes and prepare the tools that are applicable to the program

Monitoring and evaluation processes ensure that quality professional development programs are provided. In this section, describe the M&E processes that are conducted as part of the program.

6.1. Identify and prepare the specific M&E tools that should be used e.g. Participants’ review of program, Facilitators’ review of program, M&E report on the program.

6.2. Provide templates for summarizing results and reporting M&E results.

7. Develop the Line Item Budget All costs associated with the implementation of the program need to be identified. An initial budget estimate was included in the Program Design, but now that the Resource Package is developed, it is necessary to review the budget and ensure that projected costs of all program activities are included. A template for the budget was developed and can be found as Attachment 1. The budget should remain within the allocated and approved funds. If the costs are above the budget allocation it should be clearly indicated in the Budget Requirements section of the Identifying Information and recommendations made as to how the additional funds are to be sourced. 8. Develop the Preface of the Package A preface narrates elements of the resource package such as the purpose of the package and provides an overview of the information it contains. It may also contain information relating to the project that supported its development, an explanation of the perceived users, and an acknowledgment of those who contributed to the development of the resource package. The following may guide the writing of the preface:  The primary purpose of the resource package is usually written in fewer than 50 words. This is a description why the package was written not just what it is about, but why it matters.

 A brief paragraph to explain the beginnings of the resource development. This could be an opportunity to further present the usefulness of the package.

 An outline of the organization of the resource package. This part points out how the different sections would be used and their significance to the program.

Resource Development Guide and Tools Page 15  A discussion of sources and how they were used in this package.

 An acknowledgment to those who significantly provided assistance, inspiration, and invaluable contributions in the course of the development of the package.

Technical Enhancement of the Instructional Design of the Resource Package

The technical portions of the materials may be developed to enhance the instructional design, e.g. format and delivery. The PDRD-WG may request technical assistance from personnel from the LRMDS or use of its facility and resources. Enhancement of the resource package may include providing an interactive format for some portions, powerpoint presentations of the lecturette, film clips, animation, visual enhancements and other technical elements of the resource package. Resource packages can be collaboratively developed, if needed, by personnel from both the T&D and LRMD Systems.

Quality Assurance of the Resource Package and Monitoring and Evaluation of the process

It is the responsibility of the PDRD-WG of the school/division/region to ensure the quality of the Resource Package. The PDRD-WG use RD-M&E Form 2 Program Resource Package Review Quality Assurance Tool for this internal review process. Once the PDRD-WG is satisfied with the quality of the program resource package, all members should sign the resource package indicating their endorsement of the package.

The Resource Package is then submitted to the T&D Chief/Chair. The T&D Chief/Chair is responsible for reviewing the Resource Package to ensure its quality. To assist in the review process, the T&D Chief/Chair needs to establish a Quality Assurance (QA) team to review the resource package. The QA team at the Region and Division level consists of members from within the RO or DO or from other agencies such as the TEIs who have expertise relating to the specific content of the package and experience working with the target group identified in the program content. At the school level, the School Head submits the developed resource package to the PSDS/ES for quality assurance The RD- M&E-Form 2, Program Resource Package Review Quality Assurance Tool is used to assist in the QA process.

If the QA results indicate that the resource package is lacking in some essential elements or requires further refinement, the PDRD-WG is asked to further enhance the material.

The M&E processes associated with the development of the resource package are finalized and any recommendations for improvement should be incorporated into future processes. The following M&E Tools for Resource Development have been developed  T&D Form 1: Individual Profile Template  RD-Form 1: End of Program Resource Package Development Evaluation  RD-Form 2: Program Resource Package Review Quality Assurance Tool

Future Refinement of the T&D Resource Package

Following the initial implementation of the program, the PDRD-WG reconvenes to review the M&E reports relating to the resource package and its use during the actual delivery of the program. Based on the M&E results, the resource package is adjusted and further refined to enhance its quality.

The PDRD-WG should submit the refined Resource Packages to the T&D Chief/Chair for uploading onto the TDIS and the LRMDS Portal so it can be easily accessed for future reference and shared with others. School level Resource Packages may be submitted through the Division PDRD-WG.
