II. Background and Rationale of WAP:

The Department of Education has pursued its education reform, the MATATAG: Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa Agenda, which sets
the new direction of the agency and stakeholders in resolving basic education challenges. In pursuing such reform in the basic education
curriculum, it is imperative to understand the current context and setting. Doing so will allow the Department to recognize the existing and
expected realities and, consequently, adopt appropriate measures to realize its vision, hence making the MATATAG Curriculum, which is
responsive and attuned to the dynamic changes that come into play in the society (General Shaping Paper, MATATAG Curriculum 2023).
The MATATAG Curriculum focuses on foundational skills and embedding peace competencies, building more resilient schools and
classrooms, strengthening inclusive education programs, advocating for teachers’ additional benefits, and providing professional
development programs, among others. The aim is to create a more effective and impactful educational experience for Filipino learners.
The Training on MATATAG curriculum is rooted in the fundamental importance of ensuring that teachers and school leaders are fully
equipped with the knowledge, understanding, and skills necessary to effectively implement the curriculum. Teacher quality is vital in raising
learner achievement. However, teachers alone cannot bring about substantive changes without effective leadership.

In addition, DepEd Order No. 24, s. 2022 or the Adoption of the Basic Education Development Plan 2030 (BEDP 2030) outlines the priorities
of the department in addressing the immediate and long-term concerns confronting basic education: access, equity, quality, and resiliency.
Quality is designed to address the quality of education through various strategic means such as but not limited to upskilling and reskilling
of teachers and school leaders.

To articulate the general shape of the MATATAG Curriculum and to ensure its full implementation, all school heads shall develop a
Work Application Plan (WAP) articulating the Customized School-Based Professional Development Plan (CSBPDP) (Adapted: SPPD, T&D
Volume 3 and TPDC Framework) integrating the concepts and elements of the whole-school approach to ensure quality teaching and
learning though embedding more deeply Learning Action Cells (LACs) by practicing Collaborative Expertise (CE).

The PD Program [School-Based Training on MATATAG Curriculum] provides the school heads with an opportunity to:

 address the appropriate indicators domains, strands, and indicators in the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH)
in the effective and efficient delivery of the MATATAG Curriculum through the intensification of School LACs through the Collaborative
Expertise (CE).
