“A curriculum needs to be updated regularly, not only to incorporate

new knowledge but also to adapt to changing environmental, social,

technological and global contexts.”

-- Dr. Allan Bernardo

The Imperative for K to 12 • Streamline the curriculum to improve mastery of

basic competencies • Ensure seamlessness of primary, secondary, and

post-secondary competencies • Improve teaching through the use of enhanced

pedagogies (e.g. spiral progression in Science & Math) and medium of instruction

• Expand job opportunities (by reducing jobs-skills mismatch) and provide better preparation for higher learning

Phased Introduction of Enhanced Curriculum in Public Schools

The K - 12 basic education curriculum framework shows that the K - 12 basic education curriculum has the

following salient features: • It focuses on the holistic development of the learner. • It is outcome-based as it prepares learners for:

– Higher education – Middle level skills – Employment and – Entrepreneurship

• It is anchored on the principles of: – Inclusive education – Learners’ growth and development – Teaching and learning and – Assessment

decongested topics discussed were lessened to focus on the “essentials” and the “must teach” allows mastery of competencies

seamless vertical and horizontal articulation horizontal – smooth transition between quarters vertical – smooth transition between grade levels

enriched integration of and interconnection between and among subject areas

Developmentally- or age-appropriate

sensitive to age level of the students different levels of complexity

K to 12 Features

Comparison of 2002 BEC and K to 12 Education Structure

Comparison of the Curriculum of the Old education and K to 12 Education

Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) 2002 BEC is restructuring of the NESC (1983) and the NSEC (1989) in order to raise the quality of the Filipino learners and graduates

and empower them for lifelong learning.

2010 Secondary Education Curriculum The 2010 Secondary Education Curriculum (SEC) is the revised 2002 BEC incorporating Understanding by Design (UbD) which

seeks to contribute to functional literacy for all and the development of 21st Century core skills needed for global

competitiveness.

K to 12 Curriculum 2012 The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum is geared towards the

development of holistically developed Filipino with 21st century skills who is ready for employment, entrepreneurship, middle level

skills development and higher education upon graduation.

Pedagogical Approaches Integrative, and interactive teaching-learning approaches

Reflective, collaborative, constructivist, inquiry-based

Grading System Numerical using the cumulative method Levels of Proficiency: Beginning – 74% & below Developing -75-79% Approaching Proficiency- 80-84% Proficient- 85-89% Advanced- 90% & above

Promotion and Retention Promotions shall be by subject and by number of units. A student who fails in 3 units or less is promoted to the next curriculum level. On the other hand, a student who fails in more than three units is retained in the year level

Promotion and retention shall be by subject. Students whose proficiency level is Beginning(B) at the end of the quarter or grading period shall be required to undergo remediation after class hours so that they can immediately catch up as they move to the next grading period. If by the end of the year, the students are still at the beginning (B) level, then they shall be required to take summer classes.

Over all Goal Empower Filipino learners for lifelong learning

Standards

In general terms, students are expected at the end of Grade 10 to be able to:

communicate competently and effectively; think intelligently, critically and creatively in life

situations; make informed and values-based decisions; perform their civic duties; use resources sustainably; and participate actively in artistic and cultural

activities and in the promotion of wellness and lifelong fitness.

Learning Area Standards Per Grade Level

General expectancies • Content Standards as Benchmarks of Knowledge

and Skills • Define what the students are expected to know,

what they should be able to do with what they know and the meanings or understandings that they should construct or make as they process the facts and information

• Answer the question “What do we want the students to know, be able to do, and understand ?”

CONTENT STANDARDS

• specify essential knowledge, skills and habits of mind that should be taught and learned

• answer the question “What should students

know and be able to do?”

General expectancies • Performance Standards as Benchmarks for the

Transfer of Learning • Define the expected proficiency level expressed in 2

ways: students should be able to (1) use their learning or understanding in real-life situations and (2) do this on their own.

• Answer the questions “What do we want students to do with their learning or understanding?” and“How do we want them to use their learning or understanding?”

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

• express the degrees or quality of proficiency that students are expected to demonstrate in relation to the content standards

• answers the questions “How well must students do their work?”

• at what level of performance would the students be appropriately qualified or certified?

Spiral Progression • The spiral curriculum theory revolves around the

understanding that human cognition evolved in a step-by-step process of learning, which relied on environmental interaction and experience to form intuition and knowledge

• In simpler terms, one learns best through the repeated experience of a concept.

Knowledge

Content of curriculum, facts and information that students acquire

What do we want students to know?

ex. paper & pencil tests, multiple choice, true or false

Process -Skills or cognitive operations that the students perform on facts & information for the purpose of constructing meanings

-what do we want students to do with what they know? How do we want them to provide evidence of what they can do with what they know?

Process

1) asking learners to outline, organize, analyze, interpret or translate, convert, or express the information in another forum or format, draw analogies, construct graphs, models , flowcharts

Examples

2) focus of assessment is on how logically, analytically or critically students make sense of or process the information or use it

Understanding

Enduring big ideas, principles & generalizations inherent to the discipline

-Answers the questions: What do we want students to understand? How do we want them to provide evidence of this understanding?

Products/Performance

real-life application of understanding as evidenced by the students’ performance of authentic tasks

answer the question “what products or performance do we want students to produce as evidence of their learning or understanding?”

reflective of what students are able to do with their learning

Culminating activity/performances

When parents receive the report card and confer with teachers, they will be witnessing what the students are learning in school

At the end of each quarter, schools may put up exhibits for student products across subjects areas as culminating activity and as evidence of their learning or attainment of content and performance standards

General Description of the Teachers’ Guide

• Defining Learning Outcomes • Planning for Assessment • Developing the Teaching/

Learning Plan

Instructional Planning Framework

Step 2: Prepare plan for ASSESSMENT

Step 1: Define expected OUTCOMES/RESULTS

Step 3: Develop INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN

Learning Outcomes

Teacher should be clear about the learning outcomes and be guided by the content and performance standards when defining the intended learning outcome

Planning for Assessment

The logic behind the planning for assessment before planning for

instruction is to ensure the alignment between desired outcomes and how these will be tracked and measured

Developing the Teaching-Learning Plan

After the assessment plan has been prepared, the teacher can then plan for how teaching and learning shall be approached:

the teaching strategies to be adapted, student activities to be conducted,

instructional materials and devices to be used, and how much time

1) Know

2) Process/Do

3) Reflect, Understand
