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.

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...
