K+12 PHYSICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL

The Physics Curriculum of K+12


The K+12 for high school (Grades 7 to 10) is spread-out over four years of high school and taken by piecemeal. Based on my understanding of the K+12 curriculum, the idea was to train high school teachers for teaching the K+12 Physics and by Grade 10, it will be spiraled. The teachers then will teach all year levels but by quarters, depending on the schedule. But the way some administrators and their consultants have understood the K+12, they only send First year teachers (usually GenSci Majors) where they learn all 4 subjects -Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Earth Sciences in one week seminars. According to feedbacks, some of these teachers didn't teach the subjects at all (Physics especially).. This could lead to a serious implication that by fourth year (Grade 10) the students will have to deal Physics according to actual Physics major teachers at Grade 10 and will be discussing higher levels of Physics where the students arriving at their Grade 10 levels don't know Physics at all. 

Luckily I got copies of the hand-outs and DepEd and managed to collect all the Physics LC.s and objectives into one Physics "curriculum." 

The K+12 Physics Objectives and LCs 

The collected LC's can assist all Pinoy Physics teachers waiting (or already undergoing) training for K+12. Any changes before Grade 10 arrives can be freely done because its a spreadsheet. This can easily tell a Physics Teacher how to construct their Lessons.

I hope this can help. Enjoy downloading.
