Tradisyon vs. Responsibilidad: Ano ang Haharap ni Teacher Christine?

Si Teacher Christine, isang bagong guro na puno ng sigla at pangarap, ay nakatagpo ng isang di inaasahang tradisyon sa kanyang unang linggo sa trabaho. Inaasahan daw siyang magpakain sa buong faculty mula sa kanyang unang sahod. Bagamat tila isang simpleng kahilingan, nagpresenta ito ng isang malaking hamon para kay Teacher Christine. Habang ang ilan sa kanyang mga kasamahan ay masayang-masaya sa ideya ng isang piging, si Teacher Christine ay may ibang mga prayoridad. Ang kanyang unang sahod ay nakatakdang bayaran ang mga utang na naipon niya sa panahon ng kanyang pag-aaral at paghahanap ng trabaho. Mayroon din siyang pamilya na sinusuportahan. Sa kabila ng pagnanais na makihalubilo sa kanyang mga kasamahan, alam ni Teacher Christine na hindi niya kayang bayaran ang isang malaking handaan. Sa halip na tumanggi nang buo, matapang na ipinaliwanag ni Teacher Christine ang kanyang sitwasyon sa kanyang mga kasamahan. Ipinahayag niya ang kanyang pagnanais na sundin ang tradisyon sa ibang par...

What is the CRLA tool of DepEd and why is it important?

The Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) is a pioneering initiative by the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines to bridge the gap in literacy skills across diverse linguistic backgrounds. The assessment is tailored for different grade levels, including Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. It aims to gauge students' reading skills and proficiency in their mother tongue (MT), Filipino, and English languages.

The CRLA was developed in response to the extended break that learners experienced over the summer of 2020 due to the pandemic. After 32 weeks of no class, teachers needed a rapid, easy to use tool, to determine what level of readiness and support the returning children needed. The CRLA was also designed to be administered remotely (online or even over the phone) which proved critical for schooling in the new normal where face to face classes were not permitted.

The CRLA consists of three phases: beginning, middle, and end of school year. The beginning of school year tasks focused on letter sounds, isolated words and sentence in reading in MT (G1), Filipino (G1-G2) and English (G1-G3). The middle of school year tasks added listening comprehension and oral reading fluency in MT (G1-G3), Filipino (G2-G3) and English (G2-G3). The end of school year tasks further included reading comprehension in MT (G1-G3), Filipino (G2-G3) and English (G2-G3).

The CRLA was initially piloted in November 2020 with select schools. The experience of the pilot led DepEd to scale up the CRLA to all schools in the ABC+ Target Regions. The feedback from the schools and teachers who utilized the CRLA was encouraging. Many schools used the results of the CRLA to develop remedial and focused reading programs in the context of the new normal and identify the struggling readers to provide additional support.

Based on the success of the CRLA, DepEd requested ABC+ to help expand the number of MT languages supported by the CRLA and incorporate it into their operations manual for mother tongue-based multi-lingual education. The CRLA is expected to be a valuable tool for improving the quality of education and learning outcomes for Filipino learners.

The CRLA is an example of how DepEd is adapting to the challenges and opportunities of the new normal. By using a rapid, easy, and remote assessment tool, DepEd is able to monitor and support the literacy development of its learners across different languages and grade levels. The CRLA is also a testament to the importance of mother tongue-based multi-lingual education in promoting inclusive and equitable learning for all.

Understanding Grade Transmutation in DepEd

Understanding Grade Transmutation in DepEd In the Philippine education system, grade transmutation is the process of converting raw scores into equivalent grades. This ensures consistency and fairness when assessing student performance. DepEd follows specific guidelines for transmuting grades, allowing educators to evaluate students objectively. How Does Grade Transmutation Work? Initial Grades : Students receive raw scores (usually out of 100) for their assessments, exams, and projects. These initial grades serve as the basis for transmutation. Transmuted Grades : To convert initial grades into transmuted grades, DepEd uses a predefined scale. Let’s take a closer look at the scale: Table Initial Grade Range Transmuted Grade 100 100 98.40 – 99.99 99 96.80 – 98.39 98 … … 68.00 – 69.59 80 Below 68.00 60 Interpreting the Scale : For example, if a student scores between 98.40 and 99.99, their transmuted grade will be 99. Similarly, an initial grade of 85.60 – 87.19 corresponds to a transm...
