Homeroom Guidance Curriculum is essential to ensure access to quality guidance and counseling services for all types of learners. Hence, different learning modalities will be made available in the implementation of the Homeroom Guidance program.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of the HG MELCs are from the Personal-Social Development Domain. These competencies pertain to concerns or issues affecting learners’ individuality (self), relationship with others and their interaction in community. It equips the learners with foundation for personal and social growth as they progress through school and into adulthood. This includes but not limited to intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, self- awareness, coping with emotions and stress, and resilience.

The remaining HG MELCs are composed of twenty percent (20%) Academic Development Domain and five percent (5 %) from the Career Development Domain.

Since this is not a formal learning area, Homeroom Guidance should not be part of the computation of grades by the end of each quarter. For S.Y. 2021-2022, it shall serve as enrichment activity that can be performed at home and in school or through other platforms with the help of guidance counselors /guidance designates, teachers, and parents.

In the process of choosing the MELCs the following criteria were also considered:

a. applicability to real life situations;

b. needs of the learners; and

c. complements learning competencies developed in other academic subjects

                Through the intent of HG is to help learners develop competencies that will aid them in facing different issues and tasks, it is important to still track their level of development. Homeroom Guidance implementers must always keep in mind that the program shall capacitate learners towards success, hence, compared to the formal learning areas that are being measured following the DO No. 8, s. 2015, Homeroom Guidance shall utilize Learner’s Development Assessment Tool (Annex 3), guided by the verbal descriptions below:

Learner’s development shall be assessed through their portfolio and performance task.

Conduct of Homeroom Guidance is mandatory but this is not part of the academic rating. Grades are just descriptive. “Needs Improvement” description shall not be treated as failed but shall indicate the need for intervention from school and home. In the event that the learner remains at the “Needs Improvement” at the end of each quarter, the Adviser, Guidance Counselor, and Parents need to work together to provide intervention. Disciplinary cases of learners must not affect their HG grades.

Homeroom Guidance grades must be reflected in the SF-9 and SF-10 using the following descriptions:

                  The details of the Learner’s Development Assessment results shall be attached to the said forms. There is no need to put equivalent ratings or computations for each description.
