The National Training of Trainers (NTOT) on the Revised ALS K to 10 Curriculum is a capacity-building initiative of the Department of Education (DepEd) that aims to prepare a pool of master trainers who will lead the cascading of the revised curriculum nationwide. The Revised ALS K to 10 Curriculum, aligned with the DepEd Five-Point Agenda, is designed to strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy, promote values formation, and develop 21st-century skills among out-of-school youth and adult learners. With these reforms, it is essential to capacitate trainers to ensure fidelity in curriculum implementation and to provide ALS teachers with the right tools and strategies for effective delivery.
In close coordination with the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP), the NTOT is focused on developing the participants' skills in curriculum orientation, facilitation, mentoring, and technical assistance. The training will also provide opportunities to refine and validate session guides, training resource packages, and contextualized learning materials to ensure consistency and quality in ALS implementation. Through this activity, DepEd envisions building a strong corps of trainers who will serve as facilitators, mentors, and quality assurers in the rollout of the Revised ALS K to 10 Curriculum across all regions and divisions.
The NTOT will capacitate trainers to interpret, contextualize, and cascade the Revised ALS K to 10 Curriculum.
It strengthens facilitation, mentoring, and technical assistance skills of trainers to ensure quality and fidelity of curriculum delivery.
It ensures that ALS implementers are prepared to provide inclusive, relevant, and future-ready learning opportunities for marginalized learners.
