SIM 101: Guide in Reviewing Intervention Materials

by: J. Policarpio

As to the standards of developing Strategic Intervention Materials, there were different but closely related  criteria set every year. I have here two of the criteria that were previously used by DepEd in evaluating submitted SIMs.

The given criteria below were the standard criteria issued by the Department of Education in 2012. This is based DepEd Memorandum No. 225 , s. 2009, Enclosure No. 2.

  1. Good day to you, sir/ma'am,
    Isa lang po ang masasabi ko: kayo po may napakalaking puso para sa mga gurong tulad namin na naghahanap ng mga ideas para po sa mga students namin na nangangailangan po ng mga ganitong materials. thank you very much for unselfishly sharing your ideas. May the Lord God Almighty continuously use you for His honor and glory! I sishare ko din po ito sa ibang mga guro ng aming school. SHALLOM!!!!

    1. SMAR-C is derived from SMART-C which refers to an ACRONYM for developing an objective (subtask)... Objectives should be S-pecific, M-easurable, A-Attainable, R-ealistic, T-ime bound and C-hallenging...thus SMART-C. Sorry for late response...
