Budget of Work (BOW) is a resource material for teaching multi-grade classes that contains K to 12 basic education curriculum competencies, skills, and objectives; topics for specific skills and competencies; and teaching strategies, activities, and time allotment arranged into columns for easy reference and notation. It will serve as teacher’s reference in preparing daily and/or weekly lesson plans.
Most Essential Learning Competencies or MELC, according to DepEd, “are defined as what the students need, considered indispensable, in the teaching-learning process to building skills to equip learners for subsequent grade levels and subsequently, for lifelong learning. On the other hand, desirable learning competencies were defined as what may enhance education but may not be necessary in building foundational skills.”
Moreover they added, “The MELC’s will enable the Department to focus instruction to the most essential and indispensable competencies that our learners must acquire, as we anticipate challenges in learning delivery.”
Curriculum Guides are structured documents that delineate the philosophy, goals, objectives, learning experiences, instructional resources, and assessments that comprise a specific educational program. These K-12 curriculum guides (CG) are structured based on the K-12 Basic Education Program.
Weekly Learning Plan is a schedule of classroom and at-home activities that directs teachers and students in achieving learning objectives and the Most Essential Learning Competencies during the few in-person lessons.
***Note: The Weekly Learning Plan is implemented during the Blended Learning Modality (In-Person Classes and Modular-Digitized) until further declaration form the Department of Education. Check the subject and teacher's name before you download.
