 PREFACE

The Multigrade Teach-Learn Package is a set of daily lesson plans that serves as a resource
guide for teachers in teaching multigrade classes. It contains multigrade daily lesson plans in
different learning areas that are aligned with the K to 12 curriculum. They are specially
designed to help teachers effectively manage teaching and learning activities in a multigrade
class of two or three grade levels.

Each lesson plan provides differentiated and learner-centered activities to ensure pupils’ active
engagement in the learning process in order to deepen their understanding of the various
concepts and skills being developed. Grouping techniques are also emphasized in each lesson to
guide teachers in maximizing the use of time in managing the class as they shift from one grade
to another.

While the package as designed, aptly responds to the needs of individual learners, the teachers
may still adapt or modify the lessons as deemed appropriate to meet some unanticipated unique
learning needs but they are not to sacrifice the curriculum content and skills to be developed.
The lesson plans further, as presented are exemplars or prototype which suggest teachers the
manner to design other lesson plans for effective multigrade teaching and learning management.
The teachers hold the key to every child’s learning, the package therefore should guide them to
make children reach their optimum potential and lead them to being equipped and responsible
individuals.

Again, with the Multigrade Teach-Learn Package, the challenge of teaching multigrade classes

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT xvii

using the K to 12 Curriculum becomes manageable and the development of skills and
competencies among multigrade learners are enhanced, giving them an edge in terms of
performance if not at par with their counterparts in the monograde.

Lastly, I commend the writers, subject area consultants, editors, and the project management
staff for their collaborative efforts, enthusiasm and dedication in coming up with this laudable
material.

INTRODUCTION

The Multigrade (MG) Program was formally introduced to the public school system through
DECS Order No. 38, s. 1993 entitled, “Improving Access to Elementary Education by Providing
Complete Grade Levels in All Public Elementary Schools through Combination and/or Multigrade
Classes.”

The MG Program supports the strategic direction of the Department to expand access to and
improve the quality of elementary education by constructing schools in school-less Barangays in
far-flung, isolated and underserved communities. Enrollment in these areas does not warrant the
organization of monograde classes because of the small number of enrollees. It is through the
multigrade schools that the Government is able to respond to the basic need of providing
educational opportunities for all regardless of life’s circumstances.

The MG Program follows the K to 12 Curriculum Framework. However, it requires flexibility in

terms of its delivery in the multigrade classroom since the curriculum was designed for
monograde teaching. The strategy to deliver the curriculum in multigrade classes therefore differs
to be able to meet diverse learning needs of multigrade learners. This is where the Department
through the Teaching and Learning Division (TLD) of the Bureau of Learning Delivery (BLD)
became more flexible and creative in developing instructional materials that suit the uniqueness of
multigrade classes.

Multigrade classes have distinctive needs in terms of instructional planning and delivery,
classroom management, and resource utilization. Over the years, teachers have been faced with
the challenge of preparing a variety of inclusive and contextualized teaching and learning
materials that respond to the unique needs of learners. They had to redesign instructional materials
in order to deliver the curriculum to multigrade learners in the most effective way. They had to
find ways to manage instructional time to improve the teaching and learning processes and lessen
their workload in preparing multiple-grade lessons and related instructional devices. Thus, they
continue to explore approaches that will most efficiently utilize instructional time and
continuously improve the teaching-learning process. They need effective strategies and efficient

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT xvii

planning to maximize pupils’ learning potential across grade levels.

In response to these challenges, the BLD, TLD in collaboration with the UNICEF Philippines,
Basic Education Sector Transformation (BEST) and multigrade writers from the different DepEd
Regional and Division Offices in the country developed the Multigrade Teach-Learn Package
(MG-TLP) that contains the multigrade daily lesson plans. These lesson plans will hopefully
improve teaching and learning practices and management of instructional time in multigrade
classrooms.

Guidelines on How to Use

the Multigrade Daily Lesson Plans

To make teaching more effective and learning more achievable, be guided by the following
instructions:
1. The contents of the lessons are arranged following the sequence stipulated in the K to 12
Basic Education Curriculum. The lessons follow the same format all throughout. Get
familiarized with these.

2. Each set of lessons is to be taught for five days - one lesson per day. But there are times when
a lesson allotted for the day is not done or completed. In this case, you continue the lesson on
the following day. It is important that you know when to break the lesson when the time
allotted for the subject is over. Remember to mark the lesson where it ended for easy
reference during the next day’s session.

3. There are materials needed for each lesson. These include materials for experiment or
research, illustrations, and teaching devices to be reproduced or written on a chart, on flash
cards, or on the board. If some materials are not available, use alternatives that suit the
existing learning conditions.

4. The learning objectives are identified under each learning area written on the first column of
the lesson. Letter icons are also included in the plan to prompt you when to move from one
grade level to another. They are placed on the right side of each column to signal the flow of
your movement from the start of the lesson to the end. The icons are interpreted as follows:

T Direct Teaching
The teacher is directly teaching or assessing the group/grade.

G Group Activity
The group/grade is having a group work with less monitoring and
supervision by the teacher.

Individual Activity
I The children are doing individual/independent activity all at the
same time with minimal guidance and monitoring of the teacher.

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT xvii

 A Assessment
The whole class/grade is doing an assessment activity.

5. There are activities that need the assistance of a pupil leader. Prior to performing a particular
learning activity, the pupil leader must be oriented on the procedures of the activity and
provided with the materials to use including a copy of possible answers or responses to
questions or exercises.

6. For Grades 1, 2, and 3 combination, the teaching time allotted for Grade 1 is not followed
such as in English and Filipino. Instead, it follows the Grades 2 and 3 time allotment by
providing activities to Grade 1 pupils that are parallel to the lessons and time allotted for
Grades 2 and 3 but with lesser degree of difficulty.

7. In the absence of a competency in Grade 1, the pupils are given activities that are appropriate
to their grade level competencies to keep up with the time while you are directly teaching
another grade. This should be done to maximize the quality of contact time and to avoid the
possibility of dismissing the pupils early.

8. The activity sheets intended for each lesson can be found in the Learning Resources (LR)
section. The activities may be modified to suit the learner’s ability, needs, and interests as
long as they do not deviate from the main purpose nor compromise the objectives of the
lesson.

9. Rubrics for assessment are used to determine the pupils’ performance level in the assigned
learning task. Assessment on performance is more valid and reliable if pupils are involved in
evaluating their own work using rubrics.
