POLICY GUIDELINES
ON DAILY LESSON PREPARATION
FOR THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION
PROGRAM
 Instructional
Planning Process
Rationale
Instructional Planning is essential
to successful teaching and learning.
(Dick & Reiser 1996)
Rationale
IP is the process of determining what learning
opportunities students will have in school by
planning the content of instruction, selecting
teaching materials, designing the learning
activities and grouping methods, and deciding
on the pacing and allocation of instructional
time.
(Virginia Department of Education)
Rationale

According to Airasian (1994), planning is a vital

step in the instructional process.
Rationale
It helps ensure that the time spent inside
the classroom is maximized for instruction,
is responsive to students needs, and
therefore communicates expectations of
achievement to students.
(Stronge, 2007)
Rationale
Under the K to 12 Basic Education
Program, teachers can in fact plan student
learning for a year, a semester, a quarter, a
unit, or a lesson and secure coverage of
the curriculum.
Rationale
Article IV, Section 2 of the Code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers adopted in 1997 through
Board Resolution No. 435 by the Board of
Professional Teachers states that every teacher
shall uphold the highest standards of quality
education, shall make the best preparations for
the career of teaching, and shall be at his best
at all times in the practice of his profession.
Daily Lesson Log (DLL) is a template teachers use
to log parts of their daily lesson. It covers a days or
a weeks worth of lessons and contains the
following parts:
Objectives
Content
Learning Resources
Procedures
Remarks
Reflection
Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) is a teachers
roadmap for a lesson. It contains detailed
description of the steps a teacher will take to
teach a particular topic. A typical DLP contains the
following parts:
Objectives
Content
Learning Resources
Procedures
Remarks
Reflection
The Instructional Process
Three (3) steps: (Airisian, 1994)
1) Planning instruction
2) Delivery of instruction
3) Assessment of learning
Elements of a Lesson Plan
a) What should be taught?
b) How should it be taught?
c) How should learning be assessed?
 What should be taught?
In planning daily lessons, Ts need to follow the
Curriculum Guide (CG) of the learning area being
taught.
Content Standards (Pamantayang Pangnilalaman)
Essential Knowledge/Understanding
(Mahahalagang Konsepto)
Performance Standards (Pamantayan sa Pagganap)
Learning Competencies (Kasanayang Pampagkatuto)
How should it be taught?
By utilizing different strategies that help students learn,
build students understanding and respond to students
needs. Strategies that consider students varying
characteristics including cognitive ability, learning style,
readiness level, multiple intelligences, gender,
socioeconomic background, ethnicity, culture, physical
ability, personality, special needs and the different ways
students master the content of a particular learning
area. This means that a teacher can prepare a lesson
plan but must remain open to the possibility of
adjusting instruction to respond to the needs of the
students.
How should learning be assessed?
Thru DepEd Order No. 8, s. 1015 (Policy Guidelines on
Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education
Program), and DepEd Order No. 36, s.2016
Parts of a Lesson Plan
A. Before the Lesson.
review the previous lesson/s
clarify concepts from the previous lesson
the learners had difficulty understanding
introduce the new lesson
inform the class of the connection between the old
and new lesson and establish a purpose for the
new lesson
state the new lessons objectives as a guide for the
teachers.
Parts of a Lesson Plan
B. The Lesson Proper.
Presents the new material to the class
The teacher when the teacher explains, models,
demonstrates, & illustrates the concepts, ideas, skills, or
processes that students will eventually internalize.
The teacher convey new information to the students, help
them understand and master the new information
Provide students with feedback, and regularly check for their
understanding.
It can also be a continuation of a previously introduced topic.
Parts of a Lesson Plan
C. After the Lesson.
This can be done through different wrap-up
activities.
Teachers can be provide a summary of the lesson or
ask students to summarized what they have learned.
It is meant to reinforce what the teacher has taught
and asses whether or not the students have
mastered the days lesson.
Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
Teachers with at least one (1) year of teaching
experience, including teachers with private school
and higher education institution (HEI) teaching
experience, shall not be required to make Detailed
Lesson Plan (DLL).
Teachers who have been in the service for at least
one (1) year, handling areas with available LMs and
TGs provided by the DepEd shall not be required to
prepare a DLP.
Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
Instead, they shall be required to fill out a weekly
Daily Lesson Log (DLL).
Teachers are allowed to work together in preparing
DLPs and DLLs.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
I. Objectives: It state what the teacher intends to
teach as a guide for instruction and assessment.

A. Content Standard refers to the learning area-

based facts, concepts, and procedures that
students need to learn.
B. Performance Standard refers to the
students performance of tasks based on the
content that the he/she knew and understood.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
I. Objectives: It state what the teacher intends to
teach as a guide for instruction and assessment.

C. Learning Competencies pertain to the knowledge,

skills and attitudes (KSA) that students need
to demonstrate in a lesson. The competency
codes are logged in this part of the DLL.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
II. Content: The topic or subject matter pertain to the
particular content that the lesson focuses on.
III. Learning Resources: References and other
resources that the teacher will use for the lesson. It
includes the particular pages of the LM, TG, textbook
and the additional materials from the LRMDS portal.
Those that are teacher-made, authentic, and others
not included in the references. Can also include the
supplies, equipment, tools and other non-print
materials.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
III. Learning Resources:
A. References
1. Teachers Guides (TG) page
2. Learners Materials (LM) page
3. Textbook page
4. Additional Materials from Learning Resources
(LRMDS) portal
B. Other Learning Resources
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
IV. Procedures: contains ten (10) parts including:
A) Reviewing previous lesson/s or presenting
new lesson.

B) Establishing a purpose for the lesson will motivate

the student to learn the new lesson.

C) Presenting examples/instances of the additional

content and competencies. This is also where the
concepts are clarified.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
IV. Procedures: contains ten (10) parts including:
D) Discussing new concepts leads to the first
formative assessment. If the students have
understood the lesson, the teacher proceed to
deepening the lesson. If not, then reteach.

E) Continuation of the discussion of new concepts

leading to the second formative assessment that
deepens the lesson. The teacher can use pair,
group, and team work to help students discuss
the lesson among themselves.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
IV. Procedures:
F) Developing mastery, which leads to the third
formative assessment can be done through more
individual activities. The teacher can add
activities as needed until formative assessment
shows that the students are confident in their
knowledge and competencies.
G) Finding practical applications of concepts and
skills in daily living which can develop
appreciation and valuing for students learning by
bridging the lesson to daily living. This will also
establish relevance in the lesson.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
IV. Procedures:
H) Making generalizations and abstractions about
the lesson will conclude the lesson by asking
students good (HOTS) questions that will help
them crystallize their learning.
I) Evaluating learning is a way of assessing the
students and whether the learning objectives
have been met.

will be based on the formative assessments and
will provide students with enrichment or remedial
activities. The teacher should provide extra time
for additional teaching activities to students
demonstrating that they have difficulties with the
lesson.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)

Flexibility is allowed in the delivery of DLL

procedures. Teachers do not need to go through all 10
parts in every lesson. Teachers need to ensure that the
procedures of the lesson lead to the achievement of the
stated objectives. These ten parts should be done
across the week.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
V. Remarks:
This is part of the DLL in which teachers shall
indicate special cases including but not limited to
continuation of lesson plan to the following day in case
of re-teaching or lack of time, transfer of lesson to the
following day in cases of class suspension, etc.
Elements of Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
VI. Reflection:
It requires teachers to reflect and assess their
effectiveness. In this part, the teacher should make
notes on the number of students who earned 80% in
the evaluation, the number of students who require
additional activities for remediation and those who
