TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAMLESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMLESSON 1HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMINTRODUCTIONLesson I talks about the curriculum and how the curriculum can be used asyour guide in going where you want to take your students as you teach. It isdiscussed using the Education For All (EFA) 2015 Plan of Action as your framework.OBJECTIVESAfter studying this lesson you should be able to: discuss the EFA 2015 Plan of Action particularly its challenges, goals andcritical tasks; relate the EFA tasks to your role as implementor of the curriculum; define what a curriculum is; explain why there is a need for a national curriculum; demonstrate ways of indigenizing or localizing the curriculum; and justify the implementation of the bilingual policy in Philippine schools.MODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM4
TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAMLESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMREADImagine yourself riding in an airplane or watching an airplane land. The pilotspots the landing field and looks for the runway. Upon landing, he follows the runwayand guides the airplane until it comes to a stop.If you have gone to the Palarong Pambansa or watched any local athleticmeet, you must have heard the crowd cheering the runners as they negotiated thetrack to reach the finish line.Sometimes the curriculum is likened to a runway or a racetrack. Just like thepilot or the runners, you need a guide when you teach. What do you think wouldhappen if the pilot missed the runway or the runners crossed the field and did notfollow the track? Yes, that would be disastrous.The curriculum is your guide so you will know where to take your students asthey study with you. There are goals or milestones they need to reach and all theseare spelled out in that document we call the curriculum.But before you learn about the curriculum, there is a very important documentyou need to be familiar with. This is the Philippine Education For All (EFA) 2015Plan. This Plan for Action was developed by different Technical Working Groups(TWGs) of the DepEd who conducted a series of consultations with civil society,education experts, policy makers, teachers and administrators on what needs to bedone to improve the quality of Philippine education. The TWGs finalized the EFAPlan of Action, which is to be implemented from the year 2005 until the year 2015.As a teacher, this Plan will serve as your framework for doing your job well asan education stakeholder.MODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM5
TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAMLESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMThe EFA 2015 Plan of ActionEFA means Education For All. EFA is a UNESCO Program. Who are referredto by the catchword ALL?The 1987 Philippine Constitution affirms that education is the birthright of allFilipinos. This means that education should be available to all Filipinos whatevertheir age, creed, abilities, social and economic status. Educating all Filipinos is avery great challenge to our educational system. As a teacher, you are partlyresponsible for addressing this educational challenge.Who are these educationally challenged Filipinos? The EFA 2015 Plan ofAction (DepEd, 2004) identifies the following:1. Those who are disadvantaged because of inadequate competencies.Inadequate competencies translate into the following conditions:Those who are: not fully functionally literate in the regional language (Ex. Cebuano,Tagalog, Ilocano) Filipino or English; unable to communicate in English and therefore cannot make use ofavailable knowledge and opportunities in English; and able to communicate in Filipino, but get limited benefits from lessabundant existing knowledge and opportunities in the Filipinolanguage,2. Those who are disadvantaged in terms of schooling are those childrenand youth who: were unable to enter school. They are found in the far flungbarangays where there are no schools, or in other areas wherebecause of poverty or neglect, they don’t avail of the opportunities forschooling,MODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM6
TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAM LESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMwere unable to finish the full 10 years of basic education. In otherwords these are the children who drop out before they finish theirelementary/ secondary schooling, and were able to finish 10 years of basic schooling, but have not attainedthe standard 75% mastery of basic competencies.SCQ 1.11. Choose who among these children are educationally challenged.a. Pedro, Grade III, can read in Filipino but not in Englishb. Nancy, drop-out at Grade IVc. Jose and Greg, street childrend. Jane, finished high school, lacks numeracy skills2. Why do you say they are educationally disadvantaged?(Refer to page 60 for the answers)MODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM7
TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAMLESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMREADGoals of EFAWhat does the EFA Plan of Action hope to accomplish by 2015, the end of theimplementation period? Let’s analyze each goal by answering the questions. Youmay want to do this with a partner.1. Universal Functional LiteracyThe Plan envisions that all Filipinos will be functionally literate by 2015.But how can you tell that they are functionally literate? They are functionallyliterate according to the Plan if they possess:“A range of skills and competencies – cognitive (Intellectual)affective (emotional) and behavioral - which enables individuals to liveand work as human persons, develop their potential, make critical andinformed decisions and function effectively in the context of theirenvironment and that of the wider community (local, regional, national,global) in order to improve the quality of their life and that of society.”If you analyze this definition, I’m very sure; there is still a lot to be donebefore functional literacy for all Filipinos can be attained.Going back to those who are educationally disadvantaged, can you saythey are functionally literate? You’re right. They are not. They may not be ableto make critical and informed decisions. They need further help.2. Universal coverage of quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) for all 3-5 yearold children.Most communities have Early Childhood Education Programs toprovide early childhood stimulation and development for children before theyenter Grade One. These programs are provided by several institutions in thecommunity.MODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM8

Arethey able to continue attending classes at least until Grade III? You can helpattain this goal if you: campaign and visit parents of all prospective Grade I children andconvince them to enroll their children in school; make your school child-friendly so that the children do not drop out andMODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM9
TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAMLESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUM make sure that they master the foundation skills of literacy andnumeracy, or they do not repeat any grade. If they repeated any grade,they wasted government funds. Also, they might not want to continuegoing to school anymore.4.Universal completion of the full cycle of basic education schooling withsatisfactory achievement levels by all at every grade level.In the Philippine educational system, a child has to finish six (6) yearsof elementary and four (4) years of secondary education to complete the fullcycle of basic education. Studies show that from 1989 to 2002 only 65 out of100 pupils who enter Grade I finish Grade Six and only 46 finish secondaryeducation.ACTIVITY 1.2Your school data are stored in your Basic Education Information System(BEIS).

TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAM5.LESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMExpand the coverage of the Basic Literacy Program for the 16 year old andabove and the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation andEquivalency Program for the 16 year–old and above who have less than 10years of basic education.Does your school have an Alternative Learning System Program(formerly Non-Formal Education Program)? Find out what the program isdoing for the out-of-school youths and adults in your community. Do they availof the programs? Why or why not? You may want to discuss this with the ALScoordinator of your school or district.6. Commitment of all Philippine communities to the attainment of basic educationcompetencies for all– Education for All by ALL. The ALL here again refers tothe Filipino children in need of education. It also refers to ALL thestakeholders, most especially you.Did you learn much about your school while working on the activitiesand answering the questions?The answers you gathered will give you a good picture of the state ofeducation in your school.The six (6) goals of EFA can be your guideposts until 2015 while youare with the Philippine educational system.MODULE 2: THE PHILIPPINE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM11

TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAMLESSON 1: HOW DO YOU GET TO WHEREYOU WANT TO GO?KNOW YOUR CURRICULUMREADEFA’s Critical TasksBased on the goals of EFA, what are the critical tasks of the differenteducation stakeholders? When we say stakeholders, we mean all those involved inthe education of the child. They all have significant roles. As a teacher, since you areat the forefront of these critical tasks, your role is doubly important.The more important tasks for which your personal and professionalcommitment as a teacher is greatly needed are the following: (DepEd 2004,Philippine Education For All (2015 Plan of Action).1.Make every school continuously perform better. Let us say there are 10teachers in your school. If all of you teach very well and make sure yourstudents learn, then you can say you have done your best to make yourschool better. If there are 10 schools in your town that are doing the same,can you say that you are helping make your town perform well? Multiply theefforts of all the schools in the country; can you imagine how your little effortin your school can go a long way?2.Expand ECE coverage to yield more EFA benefits. If you have childrenof your own, you can start giving them the benefit of early childhood careand development. Talk to them. Tell them stories. Take them for a walk inyour barangay. Answer all their questions. Enroll them in ECE Programs.Encourage other parents to do the same. These activities will keep themstimulated mentally.If you teach Grades I-III, be sure that the pupils’ gains in ECE will notbe lost. Continue to stimulate them mentally, socially and emotionally. If youhave done this, you can be sure you hav
