PLACIDO ESCUDERO MEMORIAL SCHOOL BASIC EDUCATION LEARNING CONTINUITY PLAN SY 2021-2022 Foreword It is with my deepest pride and greatest pleasure to present the Placido Escudero Memorial School, SDO San Pablo City Enhanced Learning Continuity Plan. It was designed to adapt and abide to the “New Normal” and the existing policies and health protocols of the Inter-agency Task Force (IATF), DOH and DepEd. It includes the most essential learning competencies (MELC), learning modalities, minimum health standards, other special activities, partnerships, and monitoring and evaluation processes. This Learning Continuity Plan will serve as guide of the School in preparing contingencies not only during this pandemic but to any class disruption cause by natural or man -made calamities or any unavoidable circumstances. It was designed to assists the stakeholders specially the teachers and the school head on what to prepare, how to implement the curriculum using different modalities and how to assess the LCP as a whole. I appreciate the combined efforts of the Stakeholders (Teachers, Pupils, Parents, SPG, Sangguniang Barangay, Sangguniang Kabataan, NGO’s and LGU’s) of Brgy. Sta. Elena, San Pablo City for standing firm to continue the education amidst the Pandemic. Their support in preparing this LCP concretize the resilience of the school to continue the pupils’ education in this day and age. Rest assured, no Batang PEMS will be left behind! MELVIN A.

To make this goal a reality, our school is trying to provide quality education using holistic approaches to learning. Though materials and equipment for learning is limited, our teachers maximize all available resources and innovate indigenous materials for our pupils. Through the years, our school stands on the saying, teach the children on how they will learn. No pupil must be left behind. Teachers are motivated to reach out to children and teach them regardless of their social and economic status. The community have their share in making PEMS one of the performing schools in the Division of San Pablo City. They know their role and they do it selflessly. Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, learning continues in PEMS. Different modalities other than face to face (F2F) will ensure that classes will continue. The community and the school will work hand in hand to provide quality education for all the learners of PEMS. In preparation for the New Normal, PEMS is now preparing its contingencies through its proposed Enhanced BE LCP which is in accordance with DepEd policies and in line with Regional and Division LCP. 5 1 SECTION I. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS The significance of moving and huddling learners, teachers, and education personnel during COVID-19 is a source of concern for Placido Escudero Memorial School. The school has a total of 700 enrolled pupils from Kindergarten to Grade 6 based on enrollment in the recent online enrolment for School Year (SY) 2021-2022 (See Table 1). Table 1. Enrolment by Grade, SY 2021-2022 GRADE MALE FEMALE TOTAL Kinder 35 30 65 1 50 63 113 2 48 34 82 3 68 73 141 4 70 49 119 5 56 43 99 6 38 43 81 Total 365 335 700 Source: MELSF The school employs 24 teaching personnel and 4 non-teaching personnel in addition to the pupils. (See Table 2). The school is responsible for providing quality education to all types of learners in Brgy. Sta. Elena, San Pablo City, as well as providing technical and logistical support to the staff to ensure appropriate instruction delivery in the face of a pandemic. Table 2.

Distance learning relies heavily on technological solutions. Online platforms are thought to be the most innovative because of its ability to enable a wide variety of interactive and remote activities as well as deliver a diverse range of content to the learners. The main issue6 with using technology as a learning platform is that not all of the pupils and their families have access to even basic gadgets required for online learning modality. 2 The following are the results of a PEMS online survey to find out what students and parents think about distant learning. This school year, male registrants were somewhat greater than female students. Male enrollees make up 52 percent of the 700 total, or 365, while female enrollees make up 48 percent, or 335 (See Figure 1). Figure 1 Enrolment by Gender Source: LIS The number of students enrolled in Key Stage 1 is significantly higher than in Key Stage 2. Key Stage 1 has 401 students, or 67 percent of the overall population of the school, while Key Stage 2 has 199 students, or 33 percent of the total population (See Figure 2). Figure 2. Enrolment by Key Stage Source: MLESF 7 3 Among the 700 respondents, 70% said they prefer modular learning (printed) over other distance learning modes. Some preferred blended learning (15%) , while others preferred a combination of online learning, TV, radio, and modular learning (11%) (See Figure 1). Figure 1. Preferred Learning Delivery Modalities Source: MLESF Similarly, most families only have cellphones (basic, smartphones, android phones). This is the only device they have for communicating with teachers about lessons and other learning-related issues. Others have televisions and radios in addition to cellphones (9%), desktop/laptop computers in addition to televisions and radios (22%), and tablets (2%). (See Figure 2). The result that requires immediate attention is that 6%, or 42 of the respondents, stated that they do not have any gadgets to use in online or blended distance learning and no means of communicating with teachers other than face to face or onsite. 8 Source: MLESF Figure 2. Available Devices at Home 4 Regarding who among household members can provide instructional support to students, parents and guardians (339) and other members of the family (293) can assist students with their lessons, activities, and performance tasks. Others responded that only older siblings (24) and tutors/assistants (39) can provide instructional assistance. Three (3) respondents stated that they can learn independently, while the other two (2) stated that they receive no support at all (See Figure 3) Figure 3. Household Members Who Can Provide Instructional Support to Pupils Source: MLESF Online and blended learning require a strong internet connection as well as a strong cellular signal. Even in modular learning, real-time communication is required to ensure that students are on target and following their adviser's timetable when learning remotely. The majority of respondents stated they solely use mobile data (66%) while others said they use broadband internet, went to a computer shop or other location to connect to the internet (31%), and some claimed they don't have access to the internet at all (3%) (See Figure 4). Figure 4. Means of Connecting to Internet 9 5 Source: MLESF Remote learning can be very difficult to pupils especially those that do not have the appropriate tools or have too much distractions around. Most of the respondents said that unstable mobile/internet connections (169) and insufficient load/data allowance (145) hamper pupils’ learning in distance learning modality. Others have conflicting activities (101), distractions (98), lack of available gadgets (68), and high electrical consumption. Some children have existing health conditions (53) and difficulty in independent learning (53 ) (See Figure 5). Figure 7. Challenges that May Affect Pupils’ Learning Process Through Distance Education Source: MLESF With the President's consent and in accordance with the IATF and local anti-covid task force, the Department of Education is examining the possibility of having limited face-to-face (F2F) modalities. When limited F2F is available, the school is also preparing contingencies. However, the survey's findings suggest that almost all respondents (95%) do not agree with face-to-face communication at this time, compared to those who do (5%) (See Figure 6) Figure 6. In case limited face to face classes will be allowed, are you willing to allow your child/children to participate? 10 6 Source: MLESF Since the early months of 2020, Covid-19 has become a threat to the world and Philippines is not Exempted. Parents are worried to send their children to school because of the vurnerability of pupils to contract the virus. The result of the survey reflects this scenario in our school. Respondents who do not want to send their children to school on F2F modality fears that their children might be infected by Covid-19 (99%) while Others have limited transport from home to school and vice versa (5%) (See Figure 7) Figure 7. Reasons of Not Allowing Pupils to Participate in Limited Face to Face Modality Source: MLESF A requirements assessment was undertaken to establish the priority list of technology and logistics needs for instructional delivery and service in order to completely prepare the school for SY 2021-2022. Modules, LAS, LEAP, assessment tools, health and disinfection products, internet access, printing and binding materials, classrooms, and resources for school plant and facility upkeep are among the most pressing demands (See Table 2).

PLACIDO ESCUDERO MEMORIAL SCHOOL ENHANCED BE-LCP FRAMEWORK Placido Escudero Memorial School's Enhanced BE LCP 2021 aims to secure and sustain the delivery of quality basic education in the face of the pandemic by: • Ensuring that all types of learners receive high-quality education that is supplemented with activities that promote health awareness and well-being. • Improving teachers' personal and professional growth • Managing, monitoring, and evaluating the school's programs and projects on a regular basis in accordance with COVID-19 awareness, prevention and adjustments. • Maintaining stakeholder partnerships through collaboration and engagement, shared leadership, and open and transparent communication. PLACIDO ESCUDERO MEMORIAL SCHOOL, SDO San Pablo City prepared the Enhanced Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan for S.Y. 2021-2022, which was anchored on the Department of Education's "Sulong EduKalidad,“ and to the Region and Division’s E-BELCP to respond to the challenges posed by Covid 19 and to reaffirm its commitment to protect the health, safety, and well-being of pupils, teachers, personnel, parents, and the whole learning community. It was created with the intention of providing high-quality education in the face of existing situations such as COVID 19 and other natural disasters that could disrupt the teaching and learning process. It records the enhanced plans and their implementation for the school year 2021-2022 in detail. The voices of our students, parents, and instructors were gathered in order to be more responsive and relevant, and these were the foundation of our current initiatives. The updated plan incorporates all current data gathered, as well as the school's preparations for implementing learning delivery modalities, improving the learning environment, teacher upskilling and reskilling, and stakeholder involvement and collaboration. The plans were also subjected to monitoring and review. 15 11 12 Figure 10. Enhanced Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan Framework 16 SECTION II. SCHOOL BE-LCP FRAMEWORK The Enhanced Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan Framework (E BE-LCP) at Placido Escudero Memorial Schools is based on the “Sulong Edukalidad” program and aligns with the regional and division BE-LCP. It focuses on the school's mandate, which is to provide quality education to all types of learners in the midst of the pandemic. The school, in collaboration with its partners, parents, and stakeholders (internal and external), ensures that learning continues to thrive through alternative modalities to face-to-face instruction (F2F). The school will concentrate on the following four PEMS Key Dimensions: P—Pupils’ learning development, well-being, and welfare; E—Educators’ personal and professional development; M—Management of School Operations and Instructional Leadership; and S—Stakeholder partnership, engagement and shared leadership. Each of the key dimensions focuses on programs, projects, and activities that are critical to the school's leadership, management, and operation. PUPILS’ LEARNING DEVELOPMENT, WELL-BEING, AND WELFARE This key dimension focuses on the learners and how they will acquire knowledge amidst the pandemic. It will focus on the implementation of iLEARN program and the 9 learning components comprising the program. Other activities in support the programs implementation were also indicated.

Establishing good relationships and participation to improve activities by communicating with stakeholders on a regular basis. The school also need assistance in meeting the requirements of our students who come from many stakeholders, and the following are the procedures that the school has always followed. 18 14 Implementation of PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (PFSD) Program • 3C’s a. Connection b. Cooperation c. Collaboration • Conduct Advocacy Programs/Activities a. SOSA b. Education Summit • Creation of FB Page, GC’s for Stakeholders Partnership • Partnership Appreciation Program 19 14 SECTION III. Operational Guidelines for Enhanced LCP Implementation Placido Escudero Memorial School guarantees that the processes outlined in the School BE-LCP Master Plan, which focuses on PEMS, are carried out (See Figure 11). It includes (a) Pupils’ learning development, wellbeing, and welfare; (b) Educators’ personal and professional development; (c) Management of School Operations and Instructional Leadership; and (d) Stakeholder partnership, engagement and shared leadership. The BELCP was used to develop the implementation strategy, which was based on the MELSF results as well as the regional and division BE-LCPs. Four of the school's flagship programs will act as enablers (iLEARN, TIPG, MEL, PFSD), with contingencies in place for when face-to-face communication is available. PUPILS’ LEARNING DEVELOPMENT, WELL-BEING, AND WELFARE The iLEARN Program Placido Escudero Memorial School encourages and supports a teaching and learning culture that prioritizes and supports curriculum delivery in order to fulfill the needs of all pupils. To support and strengthen teaching practice and learning rigor, we ensure that pupils have access to teaching and learning through their preferred learning modality, including digital learning. The PEMS iLEARN Program: 1. Allows for the customization of pupils' learning through access to a variety of learning resources. 2. Encourages ongoing access to educational materials, allowing for effective learning anywhere and at any time. 3. Creates a learning environment that is both engaging and dynamic. 4. Strengthens the connection between home and school, allowing parents to see what their children are learning at school and help them learn it at home during the pandemic. 5. Enables the general skills (literacy, numeracy), critical and creative thinking, and personal and social capability demands of the curriculum to be taught flexibly and across learning areas. iLEARN adopted 9 areas of learning and experiences: A. iCommunicate (English, Filipino, MTB-MLE) B. iCalculate (Mathematics, Numeracy and Computing) C. iDiscover (Science and Technology) D. iThink (AP) E. iCreate (Music, Arts) F. iValue (EsP) G. iThrive (P.E., Health, Well-being and Enrichment) H. iApply (EPP, IT) I. iREACH (Inclusive Education) 20 15 16 Figure 11. Master Plan 21 A. Learners’ Needs Assessment Pupils will be tested as part of the iLEARN initiative to establish baselines for curriculum contextualization and prioritizing of learning resources for usage by pupils and teachers. The following are some of the assessment instruments and surveys that will be used: MELSF Our school performed a survey in preparation for the school year 2021-2022, using the Modified Learner Enrollment Survey Form (MLESF) to collect the necessary information from each learner. The goal of this poll is to find out what learning mode preferences learners and parents have for the new normal. For those who have internet connection, the school has created an Online Enrolment Survey to make it easier to consolidate the dates of learners. Teachers contact with parents who are unable to respond to the online MLESF questions in order to obtain the information needed in MLESF. The data of the students was then encoded by the teachers online. PHIL-IRI (ENGLISH, FILIPINO) The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) Assessment Tool is designed to be used in the classroom to test and describe students' reading abilities. The results of the exam can assist classroom teachers in planning and delivering suitable reading instruction to their students. This diagnostic approach to characterizing how children read is based on inclusive ideas, emphasizing the importance of learner-centered, responsive, and culturally sensitive education. At the school level, the results of the Phil-IRI assessment will assist school administrators in developing appropriate school reading programs or activities that will improve student learning outcomes. This inventory will be conducted during the first quarter of the school year for the baseline and the last quarter of the school year for the end line. INFORMAL NUMERACY INVENTORY Informal numeracy inventory (INI) enable teachers to keep track of their students' progress in Mathematics on a regular and frequent basis. These tests are used to see if pupils are understanding what they are being taught so that instruction can be adjusted. Teachers can use informal evaluations to target students' specific problem areas, alter curriculum, and intervene sooner rather than later by employing informal assessments. INI will be conducted quarterly across all grade levels EGMA The Early Grade Mathematics Assessment (EGMA) provides thorough information on early grade mathematics. Instruments were utilized to test the level of comprehension of children in grades K-3, and the assessment's goals were summarized. This evaluation occurs twice a year. At the start of the school year and at the end of the year. EGRA The early grade reading assessment (EGRA) was created to provide a reliable and valid assessment of skills that help children learn to read. It was used to measure and track the improvement of K-3 students' reading ability and comprehension skills throughout the year. The results of this assessment tool are being used by school administrators and heads of departments to make decisions and policy changes. This assessment is carried out twice a year. At the start of each year and at the end of each year, 22 17 B. Provision of Modules, LAS, LEAP, Assessment Tools The school will use Modular Distance Learning (MDL) as the learning modality across all grade levels, based on the results of the MELSF. Distance learning refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place between the teacher and the learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction. Modular Distance Learning involves individualized instruction that allows learners to use SLMs in print or digital format, whichever is applicable in the context of the learner, and other learning resources like learner’s materials, textbooks, activity sheets, study guides, and other study materials. Learners access electronic copies of learning materials on a personal computer (PC), tablet PC, or smartphone. CDs, DVDs, USB storage, and computer -based applications can all be used to deliver e-learning materials, including offline e-books. The teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of the learners. The learners may ask assistance from the teacher via email, telephone, text message/instant messaging, etc. Where possible, the teacher shall do home visits to learners needing remediation or assistance. Any member of the family or other stakeholders in the community need to serve as para-teachers. (DepEd) During the implementation of the iLEARN Program and the Enhanced BE LCP, parents will receive a proportionate amount of modules, LAS, LEAP, assessment tools, and other learning resources in print or digital format. C. Provision of Technical Support for Parents During the pandemic, all schools in the Philippines began to use non-face-to-face (N2F) learning modes, and teachers began to teach remotely. Virtual learning interventions and solutions have been implemented, pioneered by both private and public education stakeholders, to assist the continuation of learning and prevent a learning slide. Parents were confronted with the new challenge of simultaneously being parents and teachers. PEMS provides technical assistance and guidance to parents, guardians, and other family members who act as homeschool teachers for their children. The iLEARN Program explains how a teacher may help parents become their children's teachers at home. DESCRIBE THE CURRICULUM Define the overall picture or breadth of what has to be learnt for the year for parents or guardians. Explaining the curriculum in its entirety might assist families in better preparing for specific classes. Teachers understand how to teach some information in a sequential manner and how to establish foundations of understanding before moving on to the next target. Families' efforts can be guided if that process is communicated to them. It is easier for parents and guardians to guide their children in the right direction if they are aware of the progression of the learning goals. When parents are aware of the scope of what their child needs to learn, they understand the purpose of the learning activities and can take advantage of real-world applications. DISCUSS LEARNING OBJECTIVES The "I can" statements that outline learning goals are essential for parents and guardians. If parents are aware of the goal, they can seek out alternate learning opportunities to achieve it, as well as assess whether or not their child is capable of completing it. Parents or guardians should be informed about the necessity of creating explicit learning goals. Encourage them to use the “I can...” sentence stem pattern to frame their goals. Make sure your objectives are both specific and measurable. Families can construct lessons that serve the learning goals by having specified outcomes in mind. Furthermore, parents and guardians will find it easier to assess their children if they have clear and measurable goals. 23 18 PROVIDE ACCESS TO RESOURCES Parents and guardians need the skills to deepen and extend learning once they've established the scope and goals. Instead than giving parents a list of online activities or assignment possibilities, start by assessing their needs. Taking the time to phone, video chat, or message parents about what they need is crucial, according to my most effective teachers. Talk on the student's progress and any problems they're having. It is easier for teachers to provide specialized materials for the family after those needs have been identified. It is not necessary to describe the pedagogy behind each tool when providing resources. While some parents or guardians may be unaware of project-based learning or collaborative teams, they may benefit from using tools that follow such ideas. Sharing entertaining learning exercises based on these ideas was successful for some of the instructors at my school, even if they did not give a complete explanation of the process. MOTIVATE FLEXIBILITY Some parents may struggle as a result of distance learning, and teachers must be prepared with alternative methods to assist them succeed. When parents are having trouble getting their children to focus, a teacher can offer to undertake video lessons with them. A teacher's assistance, even if it's only temporary, can help a kid get back on track. Teachers and schools are establishing a variety of arrangements to allow students to learn at home. Teachers can assist families in succeeding by providing clear communication, a big picture of what the student needs to learn, and the support needed for parents and guardians to achieve. D. Wellness for Pupils (WP) Program The school's maxim is "Healthy Child, Healthy Mind." The Wellness for Pupils (WP) initiative, which is part of iTHRIVE, determined the importance of health and wellbeing awareness for children studying at home during the pandemic. Children who are holistically well do better in school, according to studies. They are more attentive, engage in good activities, are happier, and obtain higher overall grades. WP offers activities such as mindfulness, self-care, and physical activities, among others, to keep children entertained and engaged at home. EDUCATORS’ PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT The Teachers’ Improvement for Professional Growth (TIPG) Program Professional development is a combination of tools, resources, and training sessions designed to help educators improve the quality and effectiveness of their teaching. Instructors' professional development entails honing and refining their skills in order to better satisfy the demands of their pupils. Personal development or self-development refers to possessing personal strengths and characteristics that aid teachers define and make sense of their teaching practice and of themselves as individuals. This is through developing the necessary life skills that can help them grow in and outside their profession TIPG provides PEMS teaching staff with a holistic approach to personal and professional development that can assist the school meet its goals and objectives. Personal and professional development activities include: • Assessment of teachers needs Through E-SAT • Performance planning and creation of development plans based on E-SAT and IPCRFCoaching and Mentoring, Journaling • Monitoring of Performance through class observation and portfolio assessment • Action Research, Book Study, Lesson Study 24 19 • SLAC, INSET, Focus Conversations (FC) • Leadership Development Program (LDP) and Master Teacher Training Course (MTTC) • Personnel Care Program (PCP) MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL OPERATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP The Management and Educational Leadership (MEL) Program MEL Program's main purpose is to make high-quality education available to all pupils in the midst of the pandemic. Only when the staff, logistics, and link between the school and the community are in place can this be accomplished. Leading and guiding the school to success is a team effort, and the decision is made by the stakeholders as a whole, not just by one person. Vision, motivation, the future, and the school's teams and people are all important aspects of leadership. Management offers procedures and processes that are critical to the school's day-to-day operations. For a school to flourish successfully, both leadership and administration are required. MEL Program provides activities that promotes transparent, ethical and accountable instructional leadership and school management and operation. • School Needs and Readiness Assessment • Creation of school plan for professional development, training and development plan, SLAC/FC Plan, Instructional Supervisory Plan, Observation Plan, Technical Assistance (TA) Plan and OPCRF • Action Research, CIP • Accomplishment of MLESF, LIS, EBEIS • Implementation of Enhanced BE-LCP • Implementation of Project CFAG (Construction of Fence and Gate) Year 2 • Implementation of 5 WAYS TO LEARN DURING PANDEMIC STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIP, ENGAGEMENT AND SHARED LEADERSHIP The PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (PFSD) Program Leadership challenge in our school is clear, specially during this difficult times. Without increasing and scaling stakeholder involvement and collaborative action from the entire community, LGUs, and civil society, the Sustainable Development Goals will be impossible to attain. PEMS action is necessary but insufficient to bring about transformational and systemic change in the direction of sustainable development. Collaboration is going to be crucial. All stakeholders will require it in order to achieve the school's aims and objectives. Connection In order to manage the school, it is critical to form partnerships with the school, stakeholders, and the community. Stakeholders supplement the gaps that the school is unable to address through these collaborations. A link that is bonded by agreement and understanding between the school and the stakeholders is required in order to establish a long-term collaboration with the stakeholders. Benefits of strong connection with the stakeholders include: • Equips schools with resources. • Increases students’ learning experiences. • Professionals and others with unique expertise able to add their voices and experiences to decision making processes. 25 20 • Avail families of needed aids, interventions, and information. • Share the burden of expenditures. • Added accountability. Cooperation Following the establishment of a connection, diverse stakeholders and the community must work together to achieve a common goal for the school. The next step for the school is to define the process of cooperation. a. Identify and define school and community partnership; b. Identify the ways in which the school is currently connecting with community leaders and organizations. c. Define the role of schools leaders in facilitating an effective school and community partnership. d. Define the role of the ‘school action team’ in working with community leaders and organizations. Collaboration The next step is identifying activities that can be beneficial to the learners and the school. Prior to implementing programs, projects, or activities, the results of the needs assessment must be regarded important. Consider the following before planning or implementing a project: • Strategic importance; • Urgency; • Magnitude; and • Feasibility Activities that can revitalize partnerships between the school and the stakeholders under PFSD are: •Conduct Advocacy Programs/Activities •SOSA •Education Summit •Creation of FB Page, GC’s for Stakeholders Partnership •Partnership Appreciation Program 26 21 SECTION IV. MONITORING AND EVALUATION Monitoring is conducted after a program has begun and continues throughout the program implementation period. Monitoring is sometimes referred to as process, performance or formative evaluation. (Adapted from Gage and Dunn 2009, Frankel and Gage 2007, and PATH Monitoring and Evaluation Initiative) (Adapted from Gage and Dunn 2009, Frankel and Gage 2007) An evaluation should provide evidence-based information that is credible, reliable and useful. The findings, recommendations and lessons of an evaluation should be used to inform the future decision-making processes regarding the program. Using appropriate tools in monitoring and evaluation is essential to see if the program's objectives, outputs, and desired outcomes are being met. M&E aids in the identification of program gaps and weaknesses so that timely and suitable adjustments and interventions can be made to get the program back on track.

Specifically, it shall be used to: Serve as feedback data for learners who are provided with intervention activities. Provide a mechanism of support to learners who are lagging behind as manifested by the results of formative and summative assessments which may be gathered through their portfolio or collected samples of learning outputs. Make the parents/guardians aware of the academic progress of their children and encourage them to strengthen their involvement in guiding and supervising the learning of their children at home. Help decide on the effectiveness of the learning modality adopted for the learner and the possible modifications/adjustments that should be provided to improve learner’s performance. Guide teachers in adjusting learning content and tasks based on the characteristics, cognitive ability, readiness, interest, and profile of the learner. The Individual Learning Monitoring Plan shall consist of the following parts: Learner’s Needs refers to the gap between the required knowledge, skills, and attitudes described in the learning standard and the current status of the learner as evidenced by assessment results. These are the areas where the learners need help in a form of interventions to help them meet the required learning competencies. Intervention Strategies is a program or set of steps to help learners improve at areas they struggle with. Intervention strategies may be any of the following form, but not limited to, (1) extending time of completion of tasks; (2) adjusting the level of difficulty of the learning contents/tasks; (3) providing more guided activities before proceeding to independent activities; (4) seeking for more supervised time with learning facilitator; (5) giving sample prototype learning outputs or models to serve as reference for his or her own work. Monitoring Date refers to the date when the teacher has evaluated the results of learner’s assessments after a sufficient time of implementing certain intervention strategies. Learner’s assessments may be through portfolios to include learning outputs such as written work, products, and performances evaluated using rubrics. Testimonies of parents/guardians and learning facilitators regarding the learner’s progress may also be considered as a matter of holistic assessment. Learner’s Status refers to how well the student learns as a result of the teaching learning process in the learning delivery modality that he has chosen. It is determined after assessment of learning and completion of sufficient and appropriate intervention strategies. Insignificant Progress refers to a status where a learner “did not meet expectations” of the learning standards and received a grade of 75 and below for the first quarter and did not improve performance in the succeeding quarters. Significant Progress refers to a status where a learner has significantly improved performance after provision of intervention strategies by meeting learning standards as manifested by an increase in his assessment results, e.g., from “did not make 19 40 Individual Learning Monitoring Plan expectations” in the previous quarter to “fairly satisfactory” with a grade scale of 75- 79 in the succeeding quarter. Mastery refers to a status where a learner has reached a level of mastery after provision of intervention strategies by meeting learning standards as manifested by an increase in the assessment results, e.g., from “did not meet expectations” or “fairly satisfactory” in the previous quarter to “satisfactory” with a grade scale of 80-84 or “very satisfactory” with a grade scale of 85-89 in the succeeding quarter, respectively. INDIVIDUAL MONITORING PLAN Learner’s Name Grade Level Learning Area Leaner’s Needs Intervention Strategies Provided Monitoring Date Learner’s Status Insignificant Progress Intervention Status Significant Progress Mastery Learner is not making significant progress in a timely manner. Intervention strategies need to be revised. Learner is making significant progress. Continue with the learning plan. Learner has reached mastery of the competencies in the learning plan Note: The Individual Learning Monitoring Plan is used only for learners who are not showing progress in meeting the required learning competencies. Teachers with these kinds of learners are advised to prepare the Individual Monitoring Plan and communicate with their parents regularly through home visitation. Teachers may also call the parents for a meeting to discuss the intervention strategies and what they can do to strengthen their involvement in their child’s learning. In case a face to face meeting is not 17 possible, teachers may communicate with parents through emails, phone call, social media private messages, SMS, or any other modes of communication available. 20 41 SAMPLE PROCESS FLOW IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF MODULES IN SCHOOLS 21 42 M & E TOOL FOR REVIEWING, UPDATING, AND PLANNING OF LEARNING DELIVERY MODALITIES Direction: Put a check mark (/) ton the appropriate box.

Assessment Planning Assessment activities in our school... are aligned with the most essential learning competencies; are reliable, valid and transparent; are fair, inclusive and equitable; are practical and manageable for both learners and teachers; give learners a range of ways to demonstrate their learning; provide timely and accurate information as basis for feedback. In distance learning modalities, assessments in our school are designed such that learners are able to answer them asynchronously and have open access to various sources. In deciding which assessment methods to use, teachers in our school consider... the purpose of the assessment. what will be assessed. the method that would best allow learners to demonstrate what they have learned, considering their learning modality. the method that would make it easy to gather evidence of learners' progress over time. whether to be completed individually or in groups. how will the class size affect the way the assessment will be conducted. how can technology help. 29 50 M & E TOOL FOR THE CONDUCT OF ASSESSMENT Formative assessment strategies in our school... establish clear learning targets and criteria; elicit useful evidence of learning; provide timely and effective feedback; engage learners in assessing and improving each other's work; increase ownership of their own learning. are specific, frequent, repetitive, and free from the restrictions of grading. target skills that are necessary to the attainment of learning competencies as measured in summative assessments. Summative assessments in our school... are in the form of written works and performance tasks. Written works are used to assess essential knowledge and understandings. Written works are though quizzes and long/unit tests. Items in the written works are distributed across the Cognitive Process Dimensions (DepEd 2015, p. 4). Written works use a combination of selected-response and constructed-response formats so that all are adequately covered. Performance tasks are accompanied with clear directions and appropriate scoring tools (i.e, checklists, rubrics, rating scale, etc.) to help learners demonstrate their learning. Teachers collaboratively design and implement performance tasks that integrate two or more competencies within or across subject areas. Complex tasks are broken down into shorter tasks to be completed over long periods of time. Learners are given flexibility in the accomplishment of the performance tasks considering time and resources available to them. 30 51 M & E TOOL FOR THE CONDUCT OF ASSESSMENT Learners within a class are assessed on the same competencies using the same scoring tool. Teachers exercise their professional judgment in carrying out summative assessments. Teachers provide enough opportunities for learners to practice and redo their work whenever necessary, so that they can reach their learning targets with the least amount of pressure. Teachers set realistic expectations and use their professional judgment to find a good balance between what is effective and what is feasible to accomplish remotely. Conducting Assessment Remotely In communicating the assessment task, teachers in our school ensure that they explain well the... objectives of the assessment task; roles of learners, parents/guardians; procedure and expected timeline; standards and rubrics.

Both formative and summative assessment are accompanied with timely, constructive, and meaningful feedback based on the learner's record of progress. In giving feedback, teachers maximize available communication options (e.g.writing feedback on the output, texting feedback via SMS, and using online channels, among others) Learners who earn raw scores which are consistently below expectation in summative assessments are given remediation by the fifth week of any quarter (DO. No. 8, s. 2015). Grading and Promotion Written works and performance tasks in our school are designed to include... Written Student's Learning Portfolio that documents all the evidence of learning within the grading period including selfreflections, self-evaluations of performance tasks guided by rubrics, self-selected best outputs in learning modules. Minimum of four (4) written works and four (4) performance tasks within the quarter, preferably one in two weeks integrating two or more competencies. All competencies are covered by the performance tasks (e.g. A performance task can be used to assess Science, Math and English all together for certain topics.) 32 53 M & E TOOL FOR THE CONDUCT OF ASSESSMENT On Quarterly Assessments in our school... Quarterly assessments are not administered. Days allotted for quarterly assessments in DO No. 07, s. 2020 are used for the presentation of the major performance for the quarter that addresses the performance standard. Quarterly examinations are no longer part of the grading system this school year. The previous 20% allotment for quarterly assessment has been distributed equally into Written Works and Performance Tasks, allotting an additional 10% to each component. Technology is used in the development, communication, implementation, and grading of assessment tasks. Monitoring and Evaluation On the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of DO No. 31, s. 2020... The School Head is primarily responsible for supervising the implementation of this policy (DO No. 31, s. 2020). The School Head ensures that the provisions in DO No. 31, s. 2020 are communicated to all concerned stakeholders in the school community. The School Head monitors and evaluates the implementation of DO No. 31, s. 2020 at least once every quarter. The School Head prepares a quarterly report on the implementation of DO No. 31, s. 2020 that includes the challenges and issues encountered in the implementation. The quarterly report on the implementation of DO No. 31, s. 2020 is submitted to the Schools Division Office. 33 54 M & E TOOL FOR THE CONDUCT OF ASSESSMENT For Schools Implementing Other Forms of Assessment: Please answer the following questions: 1.
