    EDUCATIONAL SOUNDNESS Evaluation Checklist

    The purpose of the evaluation checklist is to determine whether or not a Learning


    Resource (LR), Teaching Resource (TR) or Professional Development Material (PDM)
    achieved a general level of Educational Soundness. This refers to the standards set forth
    by the Department of Education (DepEd) to achieve quality of the LR/TR/PDM. This
    checklist is used by the subject matter or curriculum specialist (Learning Area
    Supervisor/Education Program Supervisor and Learning Resource Evaluator) or
    instructional-developer to design and/or review a resource.
    Resources NOT meeting the MANDATORY (*) qualities should not be further
    evaluated. The reviewer should complete the checklist and provide a description of the
    issues in the Comments Section. The completed checklist is submitted to the QA
    Circle/Team Leader (Learning Area Supervisor/subject matter or curriculum/program
    specialist). Any resource that passes this initial review will be subjected to a more
    extensive Educational Quality review.
