I. INTRODUCTION

The Curriculum and Learning Management (CLM) System is an educational support to

regional and division offices in serving all types of learners in basic education. The System
gears to continuously lead performance improvement and translates the Education for All
(EFA) mandate to action in progress. It innovatively champions educational reforms through
feasible, dynamic and sustained efforts from the grassroots paving the way to the realization
of the R. A. 9155, Shared Governance in Education.

Central to the present educational reforms are the curriculum/learning localization and
the harmonization of curriculum-related programs and projects. The former ensures that
learning becomes culturally sensitive and relevant while the latter answers the need to unify
and strengthen curriculum support programs and learning opportunities for diverse learners.

The Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD), forefront of the

Regional Office, oversees the utilization of the CLM System in support of the present
educational reforms. Indeed, the newly structured office needs this systematic approach in
effecting curriculum breakthroughs. Necessarily, the Regional and Division Offices must
now refocus and align their practice to the new systems, made more unified, comprehensive
and data-based. Equipped with tools, processes and standards to follow, the offices are
expected to effectively manage, implement, monitor and evaluate the educational operations
in the field, i.e. Schools, Divisions and Regions.

The implementation of the basic education curriculum which is strengthened by

localization and systematized management of curriculum programs and projects, needs a
paradigm shift in the way RO and DO education program supervisors are performing their
functions. Certainly, there is a need to rebuild capabilities and work orientations to ensure
effectiveness and efficiency in the performance of the new functions. The challenges brought
about by the present national reforms alongside the K to 12 basic education curriculum can
certainly require well-trained and well-capacitated curriculum specialists to best implement
the new system.

IV. THE CLM SYSTEM

The Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD) of the Regional Office
and the Curriculum Implementation (CI) of the Schools Division Office are expected to
operationalize the CLM System. This system guides all curriculum managers and
implementers to exercise their functions and to ensure the effectiveness, efficiency,
sustainability, and impact of the implementation of the basic education curriculum and
various curricular programs and projects.

The CLM System has five (5) components namely:

Program Implementation
Curriculum Localization
Learning Resource Management and Development
Technical Assistance
Research, Monitoring and Evaluation

Page 6
 The national Basic Education Curriculum or the K to 12 Curriculum including the
various curricular programs and projects serve as the trigger for the operationalization of the
CLM System. In order to fully implement the Basic Education Curriculum, the field
managers and implementers have to go through important critical processes. Such critical
processes are clustered in each of the five components mentioned above.

As shown in the diagram below, program implementation of the K to 12 Basic

Education Curriculum and the special programs and projects need to be supported by region-
wide efforts in curriculum localization. Curriculum localization takes a center stage in
making education more relevant and culturally responsive catering to the needs of the target
clientele. Primarily, local content, local language, local learning process and local resources
must be taken into consideration for the localization of the curriculum. Relevance of the
curriculum is also assured by the localization of the learning resources. The LRMDS has
been installed to support the development of new materials and aligning existing ones to the
demands of the K to 12 Curriculum. Moreover, it is important that efforts in this area must
follow the procedures and standards set by the LRMDS.

Technical assistance, being a significant function of the region and the schools
division, has to be systematically provided by the Curriculum and Learning Management
personnel themselves to support the implementers of the curriculum at the school level.
Technical assistance can also be provided hand in hand with the Field Effectiveness Division
Core Team. The CLM personnel can also coordinate with the Training and Development
Team for Capability Building or teacher training as one of the forms of rendering technical
assistance to curriculum implementers.

Another component that has primordial role in the Curriculum and Learning
Management System is Research, Monitoring and Evaluation. Curriculum implementation is
pregnant with data and information that may be gathered, analyzed and reported that may
inform decision-making or policy formulation. It is important for the system to capture these
realities as they unfold in the process of curriculum development and instruction as
experienced in actual context.

The framework of the Curriculum Learning and Management System likewise reflects
the structural flow of management and implementation from the region to the Divisions, to
the Schools and vice-versa that guides the personnel in the performance of their respective
functions.

At the Regional level, Curriculum managers and implementers are expected to

oversee/manage the full implementation of the articulated basic education curriculum,
its localization/indigenization and increase access to quality and varied learning
resources towards improvement in the quality of learning outcomes.

At the Division level, Curriculum Implementers do the implementation of the

localized curriculum, supervise and support instruction for all types of learners.

At the School level, District Supervisors and School Heads supervise the teachers
through classroom observations such that the teaching-learning programs and
activities are aligned to the national and localized curriculum standards.

Page 7
 Expectedly, in the course of undertaking the various critical processes in the
different components, there must be the feedback-giving from the schools to the
division level, then from the division to the regional level. The CLM Core team in
turn, provides timely, relevant, reliable and valid feedbacks to the Central Office for
possible policy reformulation/adjustments, for curriculum instruction enhancement,
for research venture, for strategic planning and technical assistance and even for
getting financial support to sustain the implementation of the different programs and
projects.

The Critical Processes

The components and critical processes of the CLM System as presented in the figure are
explained below.

A. Program Implementation

The implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum and the different

Curriculum Programs and Projects, emanates from the policies and guidelines set by the
Central Office. These will serve as the basis for the Regional policy and setting of standards
for their implementation according to the needs of the region, which undergoes the various
critical processes.

A.1. Strategic Planning

The very first step and most critical of the processes for the successful curriculum
program implementation is strategic planning. Through strategic planning, the long-term
directions and desired goals and objectives are identified and how can these be achieved are
outlined. It involves setting the strategic vision and desired outcomes of the organization.
Action/work plans are developed in an organized and systematic manner in order to
operationalize the strategic plan through identification of activities/tasks, responsibilities,
resources and milestones. Planning is geared towards the effective and efficient
implementation of the programs and projects.

A.2. Advocacy
The goal of advocacy is to develop and strengthen the stakeholders shared
responsibility in implementing the K to 12 BEC and curriculum programs and projects.
Matching the resources to tasks and managing often divergent stakeholder needs and
perspectives are essential in ensuring that programs are effectively implemented.

A.3. Pilot Implementation

Normally, it is important to have a pilot implementation of teaching-learning models
that may support the effective implementation of the curriculum. Teaching-learning models
are necessarily pilot-tested in a realistic setting and thereby learn about the fit between the
model and the context it will be applied. Results are used to evaluate its usefulness and
applicability to the wider scale such from a division-wide pilot to a region-wide full
implementation. Further, it is used to provide input to implementation strategies and plans
based on learners or teachers reactions to the pilot. The results of this process may also be
utilized as a benchmark for an improved teaching-learning process.

A.4. Region-wide Implementation

Region-wide implementation of the basic education curriculum requires an efficient
system that drills down the standards and processes required to improve teaching-learning
processes including the necessary support mechanisms and resources. A curriculum must be
delivered and that means it must be implemented effectively in the classroom if it is to make

Page 9
an impact on the learners lives. How it will reach the classrooms is the responsibility of the
Region through the Schools Divisions. This is done through the guidance of a carefully
crafted regional curriculum policy framework and corresponding program implementation
plans and seeing to it that these plans are actively implemented, objectively monitored and
regularly evaluated.

A.5. Assessment

Assessment is a significant component of curriculum implementation. It is crucial in

identifying the most appropriate and effective strategies and activities that will engage
learners to learn. It should not only be done at the end of the learning but assessment should
be embedded throughout the entire teaching-learning process. Assessment, in this case,
focuses on processes and development of tools for the purpose of assessment FOR learning,
assessment AS learning and assessment OF learning.

Assessment for learning emphasizes the formative and diagnostic purpose of

assessment. It happens during learning. The various data collected in this process provides
information on what should be done to improve learning. It also provides basis for teaching
strategies, groupings, and learning resources.

Assessment as learning is the use of a task or an activity for learner to use assessment
to improve their own learning. Self and peer assessments, often with the guidance of the
teacher, are strategies that allow them to reflect and identify areas of strengths and needs.
Through these tasks, the learners are able to examine themselves as learners and become
aware of how they learn. Assessment as learning helps learner to take more responsibility for
their own learning and to monitor their future directions.

Assessment of learning emphasizes the summative purpose of assessment. It is

usually done at the end of a task or unit of work. A task or an activity is used to measure,
record and report on a learner's level of achievement in regards to specific learning
competencies. It is designed to provide evidence of achievement to parents, other educators,
and the learners themselves.

B. Curriculum Localization

Curriculum localization is the process of enhancing the national basic education

curriculum to make it culturally responsive through the use of local learning systems with
local content, language, resources and learning processes with an end of improving learners
performance, pride in ones culture and strong commitment to the community.

The learning systems, to a large extent, remain untapped within the formal school
system because of the preponderance of the mainstream cultural systems to acquire, generate
and apply knowledge. To a certain extent, the students who will come to school experience
some form of disorientation because of the gap between their own sub cultures way of
acquiring and generating knowledge and that of the mainstream culture generally adapted by
the formal school. The role of the school is not to ignore or replace prior understanding, but
to recognize and make connections to that understanding. It assumes that there are multiple

Page 10
ways of viewing, structuring, and transmitting knowledge about the worldeach with its
own insights and limitations.

B.1. Development and Advocacy of the Regional Framework for CL

The Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD) is tasked to ensure

full implementation of the articulated basic education curriculum, its
localization/indigenization and increase access to quality and varied learning resources
towards improvement in the quality of learning outcomes. Hence, it developed and presently
advocating the regional Framework for Curriculum Localization, standards, processes and
tools for field implementation. Among the responsibilities relative to this policy framework
are:
Reviewing, enhancing and localizing the BEC according to the strength and identity
of the various communities as shown in the cultural map of the Region
Integrating the Mother-Tongue based, Multi lingual Education (MTB-MLE) as an
integral part of curriculum localization
Identifying the teaching-learning needs for the new curriculum design
Designing/developing prototype instructional materials
Developing and validating M&E tools and instruments to be utilized
Developing guidelines for the implementation of the curriculum.

B.2. Community Mapping of the Local Learning Systems (LLS)

How will the indigenous/ local knowledge that students bring to class be used to make
learning of new ideas meaningful within the context of his/her own experience?

There is a need to consider the elements that make up these indigenous/local learning
systems as illustrated in the figure below.

Figure1. Elements that are considered for curriculum localization

Page 11
The elements as presented in the figure are explained below:

The Context -The indigenous/ local learning system is strongly shaped and formed by the
context in which it operates. In fact, it is the context that determines the content and process
of this local learning system. The context refers to the geographical, political, cultural,
economic and social conditions prevailing in a particular community. The context determines
the different elements: content, learning process, language used and resources available for
learning.

Local Content - The content refers to the concepts, ideas, cultural practices and beliefs that
people use to make sense of their immediate world. A fishing village, for example will
probably have more concepts related to fishing, water systems, marine life. It is important
for the mainstream curriculum to use this local content as examples or illustrations for
teaching new concepts and principles.

Local Learning Process - This process refers to the ways by which people learn and form
knowledge about their immediate world. Some communities, with strong oral traditions will
have a different way of learning as compared to communities where written traditions and
modern technology are dominant.

Local Resources- There is a rich wealth of available human and material resources that the
school can utilize to promote learning. In fact, studies have shown that utilization of local
resources contributed significantly to learning because of the learners familiarity with and
closer identification to the resources. Learners will also appreciate the importance of the
available resources within the community for learning.

Local Language- Language is a powerful tool for learning. It covers both the oral and
written tradition for expression and communication of ideas. The use of local language for
describing and interpreting learners experiences contributes significantly to the development
of the learners thinking processes. The use of mother tongue provides the learners the
opportunity to express and communicate in the language that they are most familiar with.
Multi-lingual Education is an essential foundation in the localization of the curriculum.

B.3. Integration of the Local Learning Systems into the BEC

Localization of curriculum highlights the importance of making the local culture and
context as integral part of the curriculum. While there is a national curriculum that defines the
competency standards for the basic education in terms of knowledge, skills, and values, these
standards can be taught using a culturally relevant curriculum that is contextualized within
the local culture/community, considering that teaching and learning are culturally scripted
activities. Research shows that ethnicity is among the most powerful predictors of proficiency
in learning (McDougall, 2003). In 2006, Sabo-O ( as cited in Ethno-Scientific Teaching
Approach, Student Proficiency, and Attitude Toward Science and Ethnic Culture by April
Daphne F. Hiwatig, Education Quarterly, December 2008) emphasized that attitude towards
learning is greatly influenced by sound methodology, procedures, and techniques that reflect
ones personal experiences and interests. These factors make learning more meaningful and
relevant to students. Hence localization of curriculum would definitely contribute to
increased learner performance.

Page 12
 The Region shall develop and implement a program for the localization of the
curriculum including MTB-MLE aligned to the same content and performance standards of
the national basic education curriculum. Specifically, it shall:

install the regional framework, standards, and monitoring and evaluation

mechanism for the implementation of the program for the
localization/indigenization of the curriculum;
develop and strengthen the capacity of the Region, Division and School
personnel by providing capability-building activities, technical assistance and
instructional resources support in the implementation of the localization of
curriculum at all levels;
develop processes, strategies and learning resources for the effective
implementation of the program; and
strengthen advocacy and promote effective linkages with various sectors in the
successful implementation and sustainability of the MTB-MLE/ localization of
the curriculum program.

B.4. Utilization of Localized Curriculum in the Teaching Process

Understanding of the local learning systems and how they can be utilized to make the
national curriculum more culturally sensitive will not only promote increased learning but at
the same time develop in the learners, appreciation and pride of their communities culture
and identity. Moreover, a strong identification with the community will help develop in the
learners serious commitment to help develop their own communities.

The implication to teachers is that, the curriculum will require teachers to apply local
knowledge and to become more culturally authentic in the way they conduct the teaching-
learning process. There is a need therefore to train teachers and other education personnel for
this task. The training of education personnel on localization of curriculum project is
envisioned to:

develop the national curriculum into a culturally relevant curriculum that is

representative of the local people and their locality;
implement a Mother Tongue-Based, Multilingual Education (MLE) that build
and sustain a community of multilingual life-long learners;
promote greater use of local resource ( material and human) in the local schools;
increase research into indigenous knowledge, materials and systems; and
train teachers to teach a culturally responsive basic education curriculum .

C. Learning Resources Management and Development

The Learning Resources Management and Development System (LRMDS) plays a

vital role in the Curriculum and Learning Management System. With the implementation of
the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum along with all the special programs and projects
geared towards attainment of the EFA, MDG and Governance of Basic Education goals and
objectives, the region takes initiative in Localizing the Curriculum. This effort entails several
processes which include the localization of resources. Hence, LRMDS becomes a support
system to the development of these resources which will facilitate and enhance the teaching
learning process. Thus, attainment of improved learners performance and develop them to

Page 13
become culturally responsive individuals with great sense of pride to ones local cultural
heritage.

To make this possible, the Learning Resources Management and Development

System (LRMDS) is institutionalized in the region, division and schools to support increased
distribution and access to learning, teaching and professional development resources at all
levels of DepED.

The LRMDS provides the following:

information on quantity and quality and location of textbooks and supplementary
materials, and cultural expertise,
access to learning, teaching and professional development resources in digital format
and locates resources in print format and hard copy, and
standards, specifications and guidelines for:
o assessing & evaluating,
o acquiring & harvesting,
o modification, development and production,
o storage and maintenance, and
o publication and delivery.

The LRMDS also comprises a web based catalogue and online repository of learning,
teaching and professional development resources. It functions as a clearinghouse. That is, the
LRMDS provides information about the location of resources (hardcopy and softcopy) and
allows users of the system to access directly digitized versions of resources that are published
and stored within the LRMDS repository. It is also a quality assurance system providing
support to DepED Regions, Divisions and Schools in the selection and acquisition of quality
digital and non-digital resources in response to identified local educational needs.

The LRMDS is managed by a core team composed of personnel from the Curriculum
and Learning Management Division. These personnel were capacitated to perform the tasks
required by this newly-established system. In addition, experts from different divisions were
likewise capacitated and considered as on-call members of the team.

To house the system, the Learning Resources Management and Development Center
(LRMDC) was constructed. Along with this, appropriate equipment, software and pieces of
furniture were acquired to make it fully functional. All activities related to the development
and productions of resources are lodged in this office. Moreover, CLMD has efficient and
competent staffs who are all ICT literate who can serve as additional LRMDS members given
the adequate capability building activities.

D. Technical Assistance-

Issues and concerns abound in almost every aspect of the Philippine Education
specifically on curriculum and instruction and implementation process of various educational
programs and projects. Hence, provision of technical assistance to schools divisions is crucial
in improving their performance. Indeed, the Curriculum and Learning Management Division
is taking bold steps in support of the organizations vision and mission, thus encouraging
everyone to work geared towards the attainment of the common goal.

Page 14
 The identified strengths of the CLMD in the provision of technical assistance are
delivered in varied forms such as information sharing, group and work management and
capability building. The activities are done through the following:
stakeholders networking and mobilization;
development of standards and indicators of progress, impact and processes;
supervision by monitoring and evaluation of regional standards in learning outcomes;
and
technical assistance through trainings/capability buildings (Preschool/Kindergarten
Curriculum, MTB-MLE, Madrasah Education, Journalism, ALS, SPED, etc.),
performance evaluation, orientation cum advocacy, focused group discussion,
workshops, conferences and onsite coaching.

E. Research and M&E -

Research on Curriculum and Instruction

Inevitably, problems may crop up along the way on the implementation of the
localized curriculum. It is in this context that research as a support to the system, purports to
find out how well the components work and to generate valid data through the use of the
different M & E tools, which have been developed by the CLMD curriculum managers and
implementers.

Proponents of this research on curriculum and instruction are guided by the standards
of a functional research such as the following:
needs-based;
timeliness;
relevance;
reliability;
validity.

Policy paper and policy recommendation as outputs of this research likewise

encourage replicability of a portion of it, if not the entire research work. Though, this
undertaking entails much time and efforts, it is compensating to note that it helps us
understand and solve existing or possible problems.

In so doing, curriculum policy makers, managers and implementers can formulate

sound decision for curriculum and instruction enhancement gearing towards relevant and
culturally-responsive basic education curriculum. Eventually, quality learning outcomes as
off-shoots of a successful implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum will
surely be attained.

Monitoring and Evaluation is one of the components in the Curriculum and Learning
Management System. It is a tool that will tell whether the programs and projects are
implemented according to what has been planned. It gives the management the information
needed for decision making and policy reformulation about the programs and projects.
Likewise, it tracks the progress and reviews the implementation to make necessary
adjustments and serves as an avenue for assessing the crucial link between and among
implementers, clienteles and policy makers.

VI. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

To ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the basic education curriculum program,
monitoring and evaluation will be done through systematic data gathering, analysis and
utilization of information during the implementation of the curriculum program including the
special programs and projects and the localization process . The targets/activities set during
the planning workshops will be monitored as the work progresses. Information will be used
for evaluation and to determine whether the resources are sufficient and are judiciously used,
whether the capacity of the region is sufficient and appropriate, and whether the managers
and implementers are doing what they planned to do.

Evaluation will be made through systematic and objective assessment of the

management and implementation of the curriculum and support curricular programs. Based
on the information gathered through monitoring, statements and reports will be made about
the programs relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability. Findings and
recommendations will input to policy-making or decisions relevant to the implementation of
the localized curriculum. Issues will be discussed, facilitating and hindering factors as well as
lessons learned will be reported for the purpose of future undertakings related to the program.

The Evaluation and Monitoring Team will do the following about the implementation
of all the components and critical processes:

Provide regular feedback on the extent to which the activities are achieving the
goals of the program, keeping track of progress and adjusting operations.
Identify issues and concerns or problems quarterly and propose possible
solutions
Monitor the efficiency with which the different phases/activities and resources
of the program are being implemented/used and suggest improvements.
Evaluate the extent to which the program is able to achieve its general and
specific objectives.
Incorporate views of internal and external stakeholders.

VII. ADVOCACY AND LINKAGES

The goal of advocacy is to develop and strengthen the stakeholders shared

responsibility in supporting the effective implementation of the K to 12 curriculum with its
special programs and projects including the localization efforts for the program. Hence,
advocacy efforts will be focused on ensuring that all the regions functional divisions, schools
divisions and stakeholders at the school level know the importance and benefits that can be
derived from the operations of the curriculum and management system through proper
implementation of the critical processes and adherence to the national and local curriculum
policies and standards.

The following are some practical strategies that will be done to strengthen advocacy
and linkages with stakeholders.

Coordination/networking with various education and cultural organizations to gain

support for effective implementation of the K to 12 localized curriculum

Organization of local groups, opportunities and avenues where the region, division
and school level may express and exchange insights on varied common resources

Advocacy planning to motivate stakeholders to have the passion of pushing by

supporting a deep-bone commitment in the utilization of varied local resources that
will propel continuous engagement in developing and sustaining cultural heritage of
the people.

Linkages with academic institutions, e.g. TEIs and other educational institutions,
organizations (NGOs, Community Based Org., Foundations, etc.)

Enhancement of the publicity of the localized curriculum through tri-media (print, TV

and radio) in promoting literacy of community-based resources to support teaching-
learning processes
Development and production of advocacy flyers, streamers

Conduct of Caravan, festival of cultural talents and forums/educational summits,

exhibits, gallery/mural, educational tour to historical/scenic places within the
community or locality

Publication in website

Barangay Council Sessions/ Assemblies
