Complete ILAW Planning Guide
This guide consolidates DepEd Order No. 016, s. 2026 and related issuances into actionable steps for Filipino teachers.
Why DepEd replaced DLL/DLP
DepEd Order No. 016, s. 2026 repeals DO No. 42, s. 2016 because daily logs became compliance paperwork instead of instructional design. ILAW reframes planning around four aligned elements teachers can adapt to any subject or grade.
Writing strong Intentions
Start from the curriculum competency, then rewrite in learner-facing language. Each intention should be observable within the period — avoid vague goals like "understand fractions" without a performance cue.
Designing Learning Experience
Sequence hook, modeling, guided practice, and independent work. Document a Hinay-hinay pathway for learners under mild stress and a simplified emergency option when class is disrupted.
Assessing during instruction
Plan at least two formative checks: one early (after modeling) and one before closure. Note what evidence you will collect — oral responses, written exit slips, product samples, or observation notes.
Planning Ways Forward
Split learners into needs-based groups after assessment: re-teach for gaps, parallel practice for on-track learners, and extension tasks for those who mastered the intention early.
AI workflow that stays compliant
Draft intentions yourself first. If you use AI for rephrasing or formatting, paste your original notes alongside the final plan and tick the AI declaration. Never submit a generator output without rewriting learner-specific examples.
