Directions: As a department, you are to prepare your course mapping grid that will identify soft skills emphasis in every course in the discipline. In this activity, you are to prioritize the 21 st
Century skills that you wish to develop in your students as they progress in the course. The level of emphasis may be coded as 3= to a large extent; 2= to some extent; 1 to a little extent.

Expanded Learning Opportunities: (as a result of
low rating in diagnostic exam), as a teacher you
will do:
 Peer teaching
 Collaborative teaching, etc.
To bring out required outcome from the
student.
Note: ELO can also cater to fast learners by
giving them advanced topics to work with.
