For the National Training of Trainers (NTOT) for Grades 3 and 9,Undersecretary Dina S. Ocampo updated the body that standard videos thatcontain the Secretary's Message and a full-blown explanation of the K to 12curriculum have been produced. The cascade model is still being used forthe training. There is a need to veer away from this training design but onlyif there is more recorded content and better distribution.

An issue raised on the Grade 3 NTOT, continued Usec, Ocampo, is the lateannouncement of training date and venue. Next year, training schedule andvenue must be announced ahead of time and the NTOT for the next gradelevels must be conducted earlier than May; but ideally not too near otherevents such as the Palarong Pambansa.

The second issue encountered, Usec. Ocampo shared, is the frequent changeof the number of participants per day. This affected the bidding andproduction of LMs. An accurate number of participants must be submitted.

4. Usec. Ocampo said that more time must be given to the discussion of thecontent area and teaching strategies. Minutes spent on opening programsand other similar activities must he minimized.

Only draft copies of the LMs in CD format were distributed. Usec. Ocampoexpressed her preference for the LMs to not be reproduced, as they are onlydraft copies.

Ll?age

7During the training, it had been asked why TGs and LMs provided are onlyfor Week 1 of Quarter 1", Usec. Ocampo explained that in the Grades 7 and 8trainings, teachers would leave their materials in the accommodations, asthey will incur charges for excess baggage. It had been agreed that CDswould be instead be provided in the meantime.

Usec. Ocampo said that they are having difficulty getting contextualizedmaterials from various regions. K to 3 must be improved. The bridging of Kto 3 and Grade 4 must be worked on as well.

One of the issues raised after the assessment of the NTOT is the assessmentitsell There were many questions regarding Knowledge, Performance,Understanding, and Product IKPUP). Usec. Ocampo said that formativeassessment must be strengthened. An assessment that teachers know mustbe used. The K to 12 cumiculum document has not been released becausethe assessment framework has not been finalized.

9. Full payments of traveling expenses should have been given. Participantsexpect full travel expenses to be immediately reimbursed. However,Accounting prefers only half to be given because of previous experiences inwhich travel documents are not presented.

10. On whether trainers will be paid for conducting trainings, Usec. Ocamposaid that it is part of their wor[ so they will not be paid additional fees.service credits/compensated time-off are given.

1.1. For Grade 9 NTOT, Usec. Ocampo explained that certain aspects weremodified from the previous year's training, which created a betterreception towards Grade 9. Debriefings are facilitated in the evenings,which resulted to teamwork and professionalism. An area for improvementis contenU teachers are asking for more content infusion.

12. Usec. Ocampo requested the RDs to make sure that the schools receive theinstructional materials. She shared a case in which a school has notreceived IMs for ten [10] years. Some offices do not accept deliveriesbecause their supply officer is out of the office. She asked that suchincidents should not occur.

13. The activity sheets for kindergarten, reported Usec. Ocampo, should bedelivered within the next two [2) months. Some divisions still have notgiven out lMs for Grades 1 and 7 even when they have been sent the moneyto replicate. This has to do with the downloading of funds for Grade 1 in.]uly and November 2 012.

14. Alt LMs for Grade 2 should have been delivered by the end of 2 013. Grade 3IMs should be arriving in divisions and districts by July or August 2014.Grade 7 LMs should have been replicated already as funds have beendownloaded. The delivery dates of Grade 8 LMs are wide-ranging as stocksare being replenished due to typhoons.

Reminder (Assignment #2)RDs must ensure that theschools are receiving theIMs.

Reminder (Assignment #3)RDs must follow-up andensure that all havereproduced materials forGrades 1 and 7.

15. Divisions that are not included in the TX Audit (those that have not Reminder (Assignment #4)reported whether or not they have replicated the materials) are: Basilan, I R Ds must follow-up with the

The divisions where deliveries of Grade B LMs (Filipino & MAPEH] weredelayed due to Typhoon Yolanda are: Bohol, Antique, Aklan, Cadiz, Passi,Negros Occidental, Escalante, Roxas Ciq/, Sagay City, Cebu, Palawan, andRomblon. Usec. Ocampo asked the RDs to inform the Central Office if thereis a gap it can help address.

lMs for Grade 9 are targeted to be delivered between June and September201.4.

Usec. Ocampo said that there have been reports that some regions anddivisions either did not distribute the correct number of materials or didnot receive the correct number of materials. Those who did not receive thecorrect number during the training were provided with the lacking copiesafter the training. Addressing the difficulty of some divisions not havingreceived materials yet, Usec. Ocampo said that materials from the LRMDSmay be used. She said that the use of the LRMDS must be advocated. It isfine for the field to modify the materials to better suit the local context ofthe learners; if possible, share the modified materials with LRMDS as well,as the concept of the LRMDS is to take and give.

19. Usec. Ocampo asked the RDs to inform the superintendents and all othersconcerned that LMs and TGs are not for sale. Those materials should begiven to teachers.

20. Usec. Ocampo reported that tagging of existing textbooks in schools andother DepEd-owned materials as well as the filling out of the metadata forLRMDS were finished over the summer. She presented a sample of acurriculum guide with matched materials for math. A new version willinclude a column for learning materials.

21. There will be a textbook call for Grades 5, 6, 11, and 12. It is not possible forthe materials to be produced by DepEd alone, especially for Grades 11 and12; private sector participation must be solicited. A section on pedagogymust be included in the specifications for the instructional designrequirements of the textbook call. Instructional design will vary based ondiscipline; stakeholders must be consulted.

22. Grade 4 materials are presently being crafted. Grade 10 materials arealready being validated. The K to 12 curriculum is complete. Thecurriculum document will be released in the form of a memorandum. A firstdraft of four [4) volumes has been writteU the first volume is on theory,second on K to Grade 6, third on Grades 7 to 10, and fourth on SHS. Stylerefinements must still be made and the assessment framework must befinalized. The ALS curriculum is being matched with the K to 12 curriculum.The question, said Usec. Ocampo, is whether ALS will reach Grade 12,Answering this must be done on the basis of evidence and not advocacy.

23. Usec. Ocampo continued that the multi-grade school curriculum must beturned into a viable curriculum not iust for remote areas but also for all

replication of the concerneddivisions.

places. The K to 3 curriculum is being worked on and refined Teams arebeing created to work on inclusive education articulation, programs for thegifted and talented, and special programs Usec Ocampo said that she andUsec, Rivera have been finding ways to rollout SHS Not all schools can havea SHS; these must be carefully selected. The curriculum document willinclude an indicative list of requirements and qualifications for SHS.

24.lJsec. Ocampo presented the status of the K to 12 assessment frameworkwork. The assessment system has been reviewed; everyone is fixated on theNAT. There is a need to look at the assessment of education in differentways. NETRC has studied assessment frameworks of other countriesCountries essentially assess five [5] things: 1) student learning, 2) schools,3l teachers, 4) principals, and 5l the entire system At the Programs level,the evaluation of the system and of student learning will be done' For thenext month, workshops will be held on 1) system evaluation,2) essentialskills per grade level [for regular student learning assessment], and 3Jclassroom formative assessment.

25. Usec. Ocampo said that good decisions must also be made with regard towhere the NAT is conducted, With multilingual education, the NAT cannotpossibly be used in Grade 3 anymore Usec. Ocampo posed the followingquestions: Do we even want the NAT? How do we have a NAT at the end ofGrade 12 when there are so many exits from a curriculum? These questionsmust be answered in order to release the curriculum document; acurriculum is of no use unless you know how you will be assessed Theassessment is important because if the assessment is defined, instructionwill change; assessment reibrm is needed for instructional reform'

26. Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro stressed the importance of understandingthe real work involved in the educational reform. He said that this is thefirst time the body discussed the heart of the K12 reformj conversations inpublic fora have previously focused on classrooms, teachers, andippointments of superintendents. The Secretary asked the RDs andDirector Patrick Salamat to shift conversations on the school level awayfrom the usual peripheral discussions - collection policy, graduation,teacher assignment, etc. - to the very heart of K12.

27. The Secretary reiterated Usec. Ocampo's appeal for RDs to SDSS to befamiliar with the resources in the LRMDS and to make sure that teachershave access to the materials and are able to download and use them Heasked the RDs to share their materials and make sure there is a system inthe regions and divisions where these are captured and submittedeventually, hopefully becoming part of the LRMDS

28. Assistant Secretary and Chief of Staff Reynaldo Antonio D Laguda explainedthat a fair number of teachers are still required to submit lesson plans; thisis what supervisors should check. The difficulty is learning how to harvestfrom this set of existing learning materials lesson plans that are actuallyuseful, effective, and may be brought up to the LRMDS level and digitized'There is an attempt in Cagayan de Oro to collate the materials; this is oneway of doing it - harvest the developed materials Harvesting does not haveto come from scratch; it can start from the lesson plans that have alreadybeen develooed bv the teachers.

Assistant Secretary Armando C. Ruiz discussed the plantil)a items of utilityworkers and security guards authorized for secondary schools. Accordingto EO 366, secondary schools are exempted from the RatPIan but theirnon-teaching items have remained vacant under the moratorium. With thesubmission of the RatPlan, ASec. Ruiz asked if the secondary schools areauthorized to fill up their items of security guards and utility workers.They are waiting for the release of funds of those items and the subsequentrealignment to MOOE to hire those items as Contracts of Seruice.

ASec. Mateo said that according to EO 366, if positions like security guardsor utiliS/ workers will be outsourced, the items will be considered asCannot be Filled-up. He said that this nust still be clarified lurther.

Usec. Varela said that in the secondary schools, non-teaching items are notjust security guards and utility workers. There are other non-teachingitems in the secondary schools. Thus, this should be taken to nlean thatthese items can already be filled up without need fbr further clarification.Otherwise, these items wili be in limbo - they cannot be filled up yet thereis no more process for DepEd to request DBM for authority to fill-up. Inspirit, they are not covered by the objective in EO 365 wherein there issome government direction to outsource certain types of jobs.

Usec. Varela asked what kind of instruction should be given to secondaryschools. The Secretary said that to ensure that people are protected; nomovements should be made until a memorandunr on the matter is issuedafter checking with CSC and DBM,

3.

ASec. Mateo presented the major changes from the previous hiring policy(DepEd Order no. 12, s. 201,2) and the present hiring policy [DepEd OrderNo. 14, s. 2014). The points system for the RQA has been adjusted; from 55the cut-off score is now 50.

ASec. Mateo explained that the intention of the Do 14, s.2074 is to absorbqualified KVT and LGU-funded teachers, which is why the assigned weightsfor the certain criteria were changed. Additional points are given to KVTand LGU-funded teachers in the Teaching Experience criterion. Whereasnon-KVT and non-LGU teachers only get a maximum of 12 points, KVT andLGU teachers may get as much as 15 points.

Maximum points for the Education criterion were decreased from 25 to 20and maximum points for Teaching Experience were raised from 10 to 15.These changes are based on consultations with various DepEd groups.

ASec. Mateo clarifled that while providing for enumeration, the language ofthe Localization Law, does not provide fbr a "hierarchy." Thus, a teachermav be appointed ifhe/she comes from the barangay, municipality, city or

B.

7.

Other changes in the hiring policy include the renaming of the SchoolSelection Committee to the School Screening Committee, as theCommittee's function is primarily to check applications' authenticity andcompleteness and not to select applicants. Additionally, any proof ofresidency as deemed acceptable by the School Screening Committee nraybe accepted.

Usec. Varela said that the directive on non'hiring does not nlean thatdivisions can no longer hire KVT. lt should be clarified that there should beno adclitional hiring, as there will still be hiring because there is a provisionfor new kindergarten items for 2014 and 2015.

ASec. Ruiz said that there will be available funding for KVT but this will befor three months only, using as base the number of classes in EOSY 2013-2074. The total number of classes is 41,642; coniputing at 2 sessions; therequired number of KVT is 20,000, If there is a need to net out the numberof created teacher items for kindergarten, this number decreases. This iswhy only initial funding for June to December (for three months only) willbe issued. The regional allocations of some regions are not sufficient tocompute for four months.

The Secretary said that there should be no KVT, unless there are noautomatic provisions and unless specifically requested by the divisions.

Reminder (Assignnrent #1 6)In requesting for authorityto hire KVT or LcU-fundedteachers, data, justification,and recommendations mustbe sent to the Central Office.

VI. Updates from Legal and Legislative Affairs

1. Usec. Muyot reminded the body that he wrote the RDs to request forupdated data on school sites. There is a form attached to it that must befilled up as soon as possible. The data is needed to support DepEd'sproposal to DENR to issue a special circular on the issue of residentialpatents for school sites.

2. Under the Anti-Bullying Law, Usec. Muyot said that within one week fromthe start of classes, all schools are to submit to the division office their anti-bullying policy. A memorandum with template tables for the reports will beissued within the week.

3. Starting this school year, Usec. Muyot continued that all new permitsgranted by the regional offices will have an additional requirement, which isthat they should submit their antr-bullying policy. Thus, not only existingschools are required to submit
