Lesson 3: K-12 CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

Republic Act No. 10533 - Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013

An Act Enhancing the Philippine Basic Education System by Strengthening its Curriculum and Increasing
the Number of Years for Basic Education

 The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education,
four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time
for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education,
middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship

SALIENT FEATURES

Strengthening Early Childhood Education (Universal Kindergarten)

 Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through Universal Kindergarten. At 5
years old, children start schooling and are given the means to slowly adjust to formal education

Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement)

 Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories, and illustrations are based on local culture, history, and reality.
This makes the lessons relevant to the learners and easy to understand

Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)

 Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to more complicated concepts through grade levels in spiral
progression. As early as elementary, students gain knowledge in areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth
Science, Chemistry, and Algebra. This ensures a mastery of knowledge and skills after each level

Building Proficiency through Language (Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education

 Students are able to learn best through their first language, their Mother Tongue (MT). Twelve (12) MT
languages have been introduced for SY 2012-2013: Bahasa Sug, Bikol, Cebuano, Chabacano, Hiligaynon,
Iloko, Kapampangan, Maguindanaoan, Meranao, Pangasinense, Tagalog, and Waray. Other local languages
will be added in succeeding school years

Gearing Up for the Future (Senior High School)

 Senior High School is two years of specialized upper secondary education; students may choose a
specialization based on aptitude, interests, and school capacity. The choice of career track will define the
content of the subjects a student will take in Grades 11 and 12. SHS subjects fall under either the Core
Curriculum or specific Track

Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills)

 After going through Kindergarten, the enhanced Elementary and Junior High curriculum, and a specialized
Senior High program, every K to 12 graduate will be ready to go into different paths – may it be further
education, employment, or entrepreneurship

Lesson Planning

TYPES OF LESSON PLANS

❖Brief lesson plan

 outline of the lesson for the day

 only contains keyword

❖ Semi-detailed lesson plan

 only contains questions of the teachers. But, when it comes to activities, you have to include the
instructions and the mere game or activity
❖ Detailed lesson plan

 It has two parts: teacher’s activity and students’ activity

 It anticipates what will happen that day including the answers of the students
 It contains not just the questions but also the answers of the students

In writing a lesson plan, the most important thing you have to remember is you have to write it in a
way that when someone borrows it, it is comprehensive

V. Assignment

WRITING OBJECTIVES

 Objectives must be SMART and must target the three domains.

 (Do not use words like know, understand, appreciate, and other words that cannot be
measured.)
 In real life, you can have only 1 objective per day

WRITING SUBJECT MATTER

B. Motivation

 The motivation should be related to your topic for the day.

necessarily recorded or graded.

C. Lesson Proper

 The lesson proper part contains only the questions for your students for them to get the topic
for that day.
 If you are going to add information, you have to write it.
 Present the questions in sequence

D. Generalization

 It also contains the questions about what the students have learned and realized.
 This is the part where your students will state the values gained from the discussion.

E. Application

 Your application must be a short time activity. It could be recorded or not depending on the

must still be related to your objective and to your lesson.
 “practice part”

WRITING EVALUATION

 Your evaluation is your way to assess if your students learn or not.

 It could be a paper-and-pencil test or a performance-based assessment.
 If it is performance-based, you must provide rubrics attached after the lesson plan.
 Be specific and clear in writing instructions like what paper to use.
