ANNUAL PLAN
1. Curriculum Mapping: competencies, objectives, and scope and sequence.
2. Annual Plan/Year at a glance.
3. Unit plan (UbDs)
4. Daily preparation using GRR.
The teacher checks the scope and sequence then prepares the annual distribution (year at a glance)
Appendix1. The teacher then, with the help of the coordinator, prepares the first unit plan, UbD
appendix2,
Stage 1: Specify the learning outcomes.
Stage 2: Plan the educational activities and list the laboratory experiments to be done.
Stage 3: Specify the needed assessments.
Stage 4: Fill in the UbD map.
Stage 5: Fill in the weekly plan(s) for the first unit.
Stage 6: Design the daily lesson plans for the first unit based on GRR.
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
The students’ academic performance is evaluated by collecting evidence (quizzes/Exams) on the
acquisition of target competencies and, thus, grading him/her based on his/her mastery of the
competencies obtained. Later, the student will be assigned as indicated in the table:
Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4
Grade 10:/100 - Grade 11: /120
( /60) ( /60) ( /60) Grade 12: LS / 80 - Grade 12: GS /

Content of Exams/Worksheets
1. Exam duration should match the time given.
2. Questions should be derived from the assigned curriculum.
3. Competencies should be chosen from all fields, and the possibility of merging betweenfields
should be taken into consideration.
4. The exam should cover all fields equally, or at least 70% of the fields, taking into consideration
how much each lesson takes up from the entire curriculum (curriculum content).
5. The exam should include a variety of clear documents (graphs, geometric shapes, tables).
6. The exam should include a variety of open-ended and short answer questions, as well as
objective questions (MCQs, True or False, and essential questions that require student effort).
7. Cognitive and knowledge levels should be taken into consideration (Bloom’s Taxonomy: Starting
with low-level thinking and gradually going to higher-thinking levels near the end of the exam).
8. Cycle 1: Low and Mid-levels of cognition (60% and 30% of test’s mark)/ High level thinking (10%)
9. Cycle 2: Low and Mid-levels of cognition (50% and 30% of test’s mark) / High level thinking (20%)
10. Cycle 3 and 4: Low and Mid-levels of cognition (20% and 40% of test’s mark) / High level
thinking (40%)
11. The chapters should be coherently connected without hindering the students’ learning
progress if s/he were to fall behind in a lesson.
12. The exam should be clear, concise, and include short, straightforward, and grammatically
correct sentences.
13. Worksheets serve various purposes. First, in all cycles, a worksheet should precede the
monthly evaluation as well as the EOT for integration practice. Second, low achievers should
receive a support worksheet per lesson (extra practice worksheet) that is a must to be solved yet
is optional for other students. This worksheet can be replaced by extra exercises in the book to
be assigned, such that the coordinator knows about them beforehand. Third, there is the
simulation sheet that is exclusive for cycle 1 where students practice independently solving the
worksheet because there in the quiz, teacher should not interfere at all.
14. ALL quizzes, exams, and worksheets should have answer keys submitted with them to the
4
Exam correction:
1. The overall mark of the questions should be assigned according to the following criteria:
-The designated time.
-The required levels of thinking
2. The marks should be distributed equally among the competencies.
3. When distributing grades among the questions, teachers should consider the correct use of
scientific terms and the coherence of ideas in the student’s answer.
4. The student’s error should be counted only once within the same question, considering that the
student is not held accountable for the repercussions of this error.
5. The MCQ grade distribution should depend on the correct choice and justification when
necessary.
6. The True of False grade distribution should depend on the correct answer and correction when
necessary.
Methods of Correction
The answer sheet should include a table showing the answers according to the numbering system, and the
marks distributed on each of the answers according to the numbered question and sub question, if any
