TOPICS
DepEd Guidelines on Lesson Planning
OBJECTIVES
● Determine the legal bases for instructional planning in
the Department of Education

● Identify key features of instructional planning

● Explain how the instructional planning strategies

could be integrated with the DepEd Guidelines
PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY

● What do you know about a lesson plan?

● Are lesson plans important for all teachers?

DISCUSSION
● With the promulgation of Republic Act No. 10533 or
the Enhanced Basic Basic Education Act of 2013,
the education sector has changed. It has moved
from a competency-based curriculum toward a
standards-based one.

● The way learners are assessed and evaluated under

the new curriculum has changed with the K to 12,
putting more emphasis on performance and outputs,
rather than simple pen-and-paper tests.
Elements of the Learning Plan

The lesson plan serves as the teacher’s map in attaining

the objectives of the lesson. As such, it should be
carefully crafted, containing the necessary details to
tackle the particular topic. Essentially, the lesson plan
should answer the following questions:
● What should be taught?
● How should it be taught?
● How should learning be assessed?
Elements of the Learning Plan

1. What should be taught?

In planning for daily lessons, the teacher should follow the

Curriculum Guide of the target learning area. Key areas to
be taught from the curriculum guide are:

● Content Standards

● Essential Knowledge/Understanding

● Performance Standards

● Learning Competencies
Elements of the Learning Plan

2. How should it be taught?

● The DepEd policy also acknowledges that with the use of

the lesson plan, the teacher can identify which parts of
the lesson the learners could find difficult and address
them appropriately.

● Teachers are encouraged to use strategies that address

the learners’ cognitive abilities, learning styles, readiness
levels, multiple intelligences, gender, socio-economic
background, culture, ethnicity, physical ability and special
needs just to name a few.
These strategies include:

- Indirect Instruction - is a strategy that directly

involves the learners as a more active participant in
the classroom rather than a passive one.
- Interactive Instruction - uses active learning methods
to engage the learners to interact with each other and
their teacher.
- Experiential Instruction - involves the learners in the
learning experience. They become part of the
learning process rather than simply a recipient of
learning, thus the teacher puts more emphasis on the
process rather than the product.

- Independent Study - as the name suggests, the

teacher’s control of the learning experience is
reduced, and gives the learners the reign on their
interaction with the content.
 Elements of the Learning Plan
3. How should learning be assessed?
Lesson planning not only involves planning for the
execution of the lesson, it should also convey an
assessment plan in measuring student learning. The
policy refers to DepEd Order No. 8 s 2015 entitled Policy
Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12
Basic Education Program. The guidelines put premium of
the use of formative assessment as a tool to help
learners identify their strengths and weaknesses. It also
helps the learners make adjustments to their teaching as
areas of concern are identified.
Learning Plans
DepEd Order 42 s. 2016 recognizes that teachers
acquire more experience and competency as they
progress in the teaching profession. As suchy, it
provides different plan templates for different
teachers. Newly hired teachers without professional
teaching experience will be required to prepare a daily
Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) for one year. On the other
hand, teachers with at least one year of teaching
experience will be required to use the weekly Daily
Lesson Log (DLL).
