hello sir good day, i am a teacher in a private school here in cebu, we were informed that the social studies class should use filipino as a medium of instruction, we have been using english in our subject, when weve tried to do it this year, it was really difficult on our part, I would like to know sir, if the private schools will have the option to just use english as our medium of instruction in social studies. thank you sir/madam. God bless
agad po bang exempted ang bata sa summative, periodic at output kung nagrepresent for the school? thanks po.
meron po bang dep.ed order na agad exempted ang bata sa summative, projects, outputs and periodic exam kung pumunta po sya na nagrepresent for the school? thankyou..
Gud day! How true it is the no read move policy under the K-12 curriculum? Just to clarify issues…thanks a lot!
Gud morning. Ask ko lang po kung bakit sa school ng anak ko, private school, hindi considered ang classroom officers sa paggragrade ng extra curricular activities??
gud day! kailangan pa po ba talagang itranslate sa tagalog ang lesson plan sa math?. mahirap kc itranslate ang ibang word . hindi ba pwedeng English ang gamitin namin sa lesson plan?
Gud day. Gusto ko sanang malaman kung mayroon na bang lesson guide para sa 3rd at 4th quarter sa gr 1. Hanggang ngayon wala pa rin.
gud day po.. gusto ko lng po i-ask if pwede po b ichange ung time allotment n 240mis/270mins ng teaching s grade 1 to 360mins? ung principal po kc nmin gusto nyang gwing 360mins ang time ng mga bata. thanx
Until now I still don’t understand why the immeasurable effort of the involved persons and the big amount of money by the people spent for the SEC 2010 (where the UBD was introduced) had to be disregarded in favor of the K-12. Just like the latter, the SEC also aims to provide every Filipino the quality education that maximizes his talents and skills for life. But why it had to happen again, well… We had the BRIDGE PROGRAM, the RBEC, and few more. So, WHAT’S NEXT?
should the grade one and grade 7th teachers of k to 12 curriculum do the lesson plan?
of course, how can you teach without your plan what to teach…
I can teach without re writing the lesson plan. Its a waste of time copying again and again the lesson plan that you have for the past few years. Objective alone can satisfy what your students need to know plus the activities and worksheets. You have to plan your lesson for tomorrow, ang ayaw ng teachers ung pagkahaba habang lesson plan na di nman kayang iexecute dahil kulang ang oras. teachers need a lot of reading and preparing instructional material for them to be able to present and execute the lesson well. Mastery of the subject matter ang kailangan ng teachers, so instead of re writing the lesson plan (wasting time) ubusin mo ang oras mo sa pagbabasa at marami kang mapupulot na bago na pwede mong iapply sa pagtuturo. gets mo!
Tama ang comments na ito. Nauubos talaga ang oras sa paggawa ng lesson plan.Mastery of the subject ang kailangan. May lesson plan ka nga di mo naman master ang subject mo, wala rin di ba.
Tsaka, ang mga teachers din naman karamihan yung mga lesson plan nila nung mga nakaraang taon, kinukopya lang din nila. Actually, pag nasa actual ka na ng pagtuturo, ang plano mo sa lesson plan mo ay di mo rin nasusunod kase nag iiba na ng sitwasyon. For me, objectives also is enough to teach your
lesson. Actually, may outline ka lang ng ituturo mo, ok na eh. Not totally yung ang dami pang cheche buretse!
we need some help on how to compute grades for our grade one pupils… especially in MAPEH. 2nd quater na, la pa kming final grade for them at wla ring report card
You would have to assume that DepEd has figured out an assessment method for whatever curricular activity it asks you to implement — so I recommend you exercise due diligence to get to the bottom of this before you throw up your hands. Then again, as a teacher worth your salt, you ought to be able to search the Internet for assistance in your predicament; there’s plenty of help out there for you to explore, instead of yelping for help. And I’m almost sure that if you think back about what you learned back in your college days re assessment methods appropriate for any particular school curricular activity — whoa, this is your opportunity to make a real splash by coming up with a bright idea of assessing your pupils; who knows your idea may even prove to be so good the DepEd may recognize you for it and your assessment method may even be named after you!
When you read the above post, please read all the way to the bottom where it says: “Please click here for a complete copy of the above DepEd Order and its Enclosures.” The grading system(s) are at the end of the enclosures.
Kailan po ba darating ang kumpletong curriculum guide. Bakit po hanggang ngayon puro mga 1st and 2nd quarter palamang po. Hinahanapan napo kami ng test questionaire, kailangan napo naming magpasa ng 3rd and 4th quarter exam, eh saan po kami kukuha? bago palang namin nalilinawan tong k-12 curriculum bkit po ganito? salamat po. sana mabigyang pansin po salamat po ulit.
good day,sir d po ba maglalabas ng memo para sa paggwa ng grade
It’s difficult to teach the new curriculum to grade 7, especially the English, both on the part of the teacher and learners. The assumption is, the learners have to finish the lower levels( grades 1-6 under k12) , sana nag start na lang muna sa grade 1 going up to the higher level, this is more effective. the k12 started in grade 1 how about the grade 6 and grade 7, eh di na ito spiral and progressive. There is a lapse from grade 2-5, and the grade 7 have not been in k12 from grade 1. Sorry to say, it’s impossible to finish the lessons for each unit for one grading period . And there are no guidelines yet on how to compute the MAKABAYAN as well as the MAPEH (which has 4 cores).
I cant open the contents of the DepED Websit (www.deped.gov.ph) ito n po b official website ng deped? salamat po.
MAY WE KNOW WHEN CAN WE HAVE THE QUARTERS 3 AND 4 OF MAPEH MODULES FOR GRADE 7. THANK YOU
Since my children are not native Filipino speakers so I trained then in Tagalog at home in the event that when they reach school age at least they speak one national language to use at school. It was effective until the effectivity of the use of the native tongue as medium of instruction. My grades 1 and 3 are at stake for they have to learn our native tongue kankanaey to comprehend what is taught to them.
Worst, textbooks and lesson guides would arrive and I am afraid they would be in Iloko, the regional language. It would further stress them at school in language used rather than the content of the lesson.
Further, would it not put the non-native tagalog speakers to the disadvantantage as to academic terminologies used by the different subjects taken?
Our native kankanaey language are varried according to enthnolinguistic group and the teacher of my grade 1 child uses terms my child has to ask its meaning every evening. Very stressful.
Please device a better method of instruction.
dear educators,
please visit our online magazine High School Life Magazine at http://hslifemag.com/ . it’s a website dedicated to filipino high school students but we have special sections as well in our magazine (Educator’s Corner) and online forum for educators. hope you can learn from the site from other educators as well from parents and the students you teach. for our june 2012 issue, we have written about K+12 and an article targeted to educators titled “Putting the good in ‘Good morning, class!’ and effectively getting your point across”.
see you there and together let’s help our high school youth and build a better learning environment.
thanks,

As grade I teacher its hard to follow the new curriculum,but since teachers are flexible we can do it heartily for the good of our learners. one thing that I don’t like is that most of us were given coordinator ship even we are still adjusting of the said new curriculum. The memo was read to us by our principal that there’s no extra load will be given to gr.1 but until now coordinator ship is still there. Please higher deped officers remind all the administrators to follow what is written in the memorandum. “Maraming Salamat po.
morning po.
isa ako sa mga guro dito zamboanga high po tinuturuan ko. bale po noong kami ay nirelrasan ng amin clothing 4,000.oo lang po at ang sabi po pang 1,000.00 na yan a ibabayad na sa cloth na galing daw po sa Division office namin. ganito po ba din sa ibang division? hanggang po ngayon wala pa po kaming natanggap na cloth……
salamat po
bale po tanong lang ito if sa ibang division ba ay required din na ihold ang 1,000.00 additional sa 4,000.00 at doon na rin sa school at sa division daw bibili ng tela para sa 2 bago uniform? kasi kami unang nireleased ay 4,000.00 lang then ang sabi ay tela na ang remaining balance at ito po ay nagcost ng ganoon halaga na rin di ba me deped order yan na wala dapat mag utos kung saan kami bibili??? kasi kami dito pinasigned na kami ng aming school at ang size din regular large ba or what? bur pareho lang yata ke malaki o maliit
am one of the grade one teacher who is willing to implement the new curriculum pero sa ngayon 8 week curriculum muna ang gamit namin due to lack of necessary materials for the full implementation of the new curriculum.wala pa po kasi ang mga manuals at activity sheets.mahirap gumawa ng LP pag walang references.pero so far,kahit 8 week ang gamit ko i already use the mother tongue which i find effective coz many pupils can respond correctly.mahirap nga lang ng konti kasi galing private sa kinder days ang mga bata kaya from english binigyan ko ng Cebuano meaning..lalo na yong numbers at colors..hehehe…but as they use to these changes makaka adjust rin ang mga bata…Panawagan lang namin sa nasa taas help us to adjust this changes also…ang time allotment in every learning area ok na yon…ok naman uuwi ng maaga ang mga bata basta si teacher nasa school lang hanggang 5pm or 4:30 diba para naman may time para sa pagremedial at saka pag gawa ng mga IM’s…thankful kami sa school head namin she understands what we went through this time…Mga KAGURO nandito na ang pagbabago adopt nalang tayo…GO.go,go,,,,,
glen, pag marunong na ang mga bata ng english, english na ang gamitin mo para di na mahirapan kayo pareho. let them count in english. okay lang na english ang colors. tulad ng orange, blue, yellow. kung yun ang ginagamit nila sa araw araw, yun na ang gamitin. mas nahihirapan lang sila if itatranslate pa. defeats the purpose… kaya nga mother tongue ang ginagamit eh. wag na yung labing isa, labing dalawa if alam na nila ang eleven, twelve, etc. sa pagbabasa, okay lang mag mtb. tanong mo sa proponent ng MTB MLE na si mam Rose Villaneza… GO GO GO MTB!!!
Good day..sa amin nga in Hiligaynon yong mga pupils ko ay napapahhhgod sa ka sasabeeh ng mga numero na napakahabang basahin in Hiligaynon.. sabi ng mga bata ko Ma,am pwede sa English nalang..:-)
Yong sa 8 week Curriculum tapos na lahat na introduce mga letters ang sa Mtb hanggang Sept.pa matatapos… Alin ang mas okey?
Sa totoo lang po napakabigat ng hinihngi ng k-12 n eto sa parte ng mga guro na tulad namin, Yung mga textbooks na ipinamigay last year di kaakma ng mga competencies ang nilalaman, siguro merong konti pero karamihan wala dun, sana magkaron ng k-12 books kase ang hirap mag implement. Naubos na ang oras namin kapiprepare ng devices tapos sa first week pa lang biglang lalandingan ka ng supervisor, nangangapa ka pa lang sa bagong curriculum tapos eto na ang nagmomonitor tapos anumang makitang mali sa yo ibobroadcast, napakaunprof, napakainconsiderate. Kung sana lang mas malaki ang sahod ng grade 1 teacher e hndi naman kase most grade 1 teacher ay mga teacher 1 kase kung sinong bago dun inilalagay kahit pa sinabi na sa taas na ung mga experienced teacher ang dapat sa grade 1 hindi naman masunod. Sana nasa batas na ang priority sa promotion e grade 1 teacher aba e sa amin unang ipinapasa ang hirap.
K-12 Curriculum is appreciated. I am a principal, and as i observed the classes for this past week and focused on Grade I, i appreciated the lessons taught by the teachers based on their lesson guides..Pupils were responsive and they can participate in the class discussions without inhibitions. There are certain words that our pupils are not familiar with anymore and so we need to go back to our mother tongue, anyway we are only at the 1st quarter of our SY and 2nd quarter, there will be a sort of leveling-up.. I think in Grade 1, their time is only up to 2:10 in the afternoon and at 2:30 they can be sent home to take their rest and be ready for the next days’ schooling considering of their age level (6 Y.O.) but teachers should stay up to 4:30 or even 5 to study, feedbacking, making IM’s and other things to ready again for the next days activity. Suggestion is that a complete set of session guides should be sent to the field, but anyway we have photocopied the session guides, and as teachers, we have to be resourceful and innovate…Think positive for this program will be successful……
Bakit po ganon?????? Ang sabi po noong nagattend kami ng seminar, d daw po kami uuwi til walang mga lesson guides. Ang sabi ng mga nangseminar po sa amin, antayin nalang daw bago magstart ang klase,. Tapos na po ang 1st week pero wala pa rin!!!!!!!!
where are the lesson guides????????
We attended seminars for 5 days at Los Banos, Laguna for this K to 12 Curriculum, PURO HOW TO MAKE LESSON PLANS in different learning areas ang itinuro sa amin. Sad to say, up to now wala pa kaming teaching guides at mga activity sheet. Dahil teacher kami, we find ways para makakuha kami ng mga ito. Thanks to other division nakapagpaphotocopy kaming mga taga San Pedro, Laguna. Mahirap gumawa ng Lesson Plan; pinag-aaralan pa naming mabuti, maraming mga visual materials, pictures, at kung anu-ano pang teaching materials ang kailangang i-prepare…………..Okay lang po ang mga ito, kaunting sakripisyo para sa katuparan ng K to 12…………. Kaya lang po kailangan siguro naming mga teacher ang tulong ng nakakataas, dahil ayaw pong sundin ng aming mga principals ang itinakdang oras ng DEPed sa pagtuturo na K to 12. Gusto po nilang hanggang 4 p.m. ang aming pagtuturo. Sumunod po kami, kaya lang sobrang pagod po ang aming inaabot sa pagpre-prepare ng Lesson Plans at Teaching Materials. Hindi po namin kaya na sa maikling panahon ay magagawa namin kaagad ang lahat ng mga ito. Isa pa po, sa sobrang haba ng oras na inilalagi ng mga bata sa paaralan, nagsasawa na kaagad sila. Hindi po yata alam ng DEPed na ang attention span ng mga bata ay maikli lamang. Kailangan din naming mga guro ang kaunting panahon upang mapag-aralan ang bagong curriculum na ito. ATTENTION PO: Sino po ba ang dapat masunod, ang DEPed Secretary po ba o ang mga magagaling, matatalino at nagmamagaling na mga principal ng SAN PEDRO? Isa po sa sarili naming bolsa nanggagaling ang lahat ng ginagastos namin para sa mga teaching guides at activity sheets na aming ipina-photocopy, deadma sila pag sinasabi naming sa MOOE kunin. HELP PO. At salamat and more power.
bakit po ganun? bakit kekelanganin pa ang other language especially sa mga beginner? bakit hinde ipriorities ang english and tagalog? i am a mother and ang lenguahe nmin mag-asawa sa bahay e TAGALOG. we are here in pangasinan. paano naman ang mga tao na bisayan at tagalog na magpamilya at lenguahe sa bahay ay tagalog but they stayed here in pangasinan?today,as the class started here in our placed, so much complains will hear side by side and even (some) teachers are complaining. meron pa ako narinig na ang SPED section will not use any two language( ilokano en pangasenense) they are only focus to use english and tagalog,that’s unfair! if everyone will teach as the SPED section way to be, parepareho ang knowlege o level nila( ng mga bata) kung mafofocusan ang mga bata same way of teaching process sa SPED section, all of them will get smarter. ang lenguahe na iniimplement o ninanais iimplement po ninyo ay matututunan din nila sa bahay o as they grown up. paano po nasabi na mother tounge kung ang karamihan sa amin e tagalog ang ginagamit sa bahay lalo sa pakikipag communicate sa mga bata. anywhere,ang TAGALOG O WIKANG FILIPINO ang lumalabas na national language. ang hirap mg adopt and mag caught up. even in the sides of teachers too. ako sa mga bata taglish po ang gamit. kung mgsusurvey tayo o kayo without treating anyone,you’ll see and get the result of…that they are not agree. and its really hard… and one more thing here at pangasinan-ang bago lenguahe talaga gagamitin madalas kesa tagalog???
so much why? kelangan po ba talaga ito?
kung mgsusurvey tayo o kayo without threating anyone,you’ll see and get the result of…that they are not agree having the LINGUA FRANCA or the (8) major languages as a major learning language. And bakit po ang english will start to teach on second semester of grade school?That is by october pa po… sana sa tagalog nalang po tayo en english focus kasi ang ILOKANO at PANGASENENSE ay matutunan ng mga bata while they are growing up thru socialization (communicating and meeting other person). I have one sample here that we filipinos are recognize all over the world. Latest news from SPLASH NEWS, LONDON entitled Good news: Philippines is world’s best country in Business English dated may 2012. Sana sa tagalog at english nalang po ang gamitin ng mga titser sa pagtuturo. PLEASE. kasi kami na magulang ay nahihirapan ganun din ang mga guro ngunit sabi nga nila they have to do the order.

As a teacher, I am concerned… Here in our district our OIC lets the Grade 2 and Grade 3 teachers implement the new K-12 curriculum which is difficult for them to implement because they did not undergo training…
hello,only grade one lang ang under sa K-12 this year tapos pag grade 2 na sila,saka na ang teacher sa grade 2 i implement ng new curriculum…
Greetings!!! Can I have a copy for new grading system for grade 7?
