Based on these characteristics, think of implications for the teacher. Example: Level Salient Characteristics Observed Implications to the Teaching- Learning Process Preschool Age range of learners observed: 3 – 4 • Preschoolers like to move around a lot • Therefore, the teacher should remember to use music and movement activities not just in PE but in all subject areas. • Therefore, teachers should not expect preschoolers to stay seated for a long period of time.
