Domain 3-Onboarding Session 1 & 2 Combined

In a meeting with your School Governing Council, you are asked which DepEd issuance explicitly guides teachers to adapt the curriculum to local contexts while maintaining national standards; you recall from the session that this policy legitimizes contextualization, localization, and indigenization as core practices to make lessons meaningful yet standards-aligned. Which policy best fits this description?

• DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2017

• DepEd Order No. 32, s. 2015

• DepEd Order No. 35, s. 2016

• DepEd Order No. 32, s. 2019

When briefing new department heads on legal bases for curriculum flexibility, you emphasize that one national law formally supports localized implementation and school-level adaptations while keeping competencies intact; this law anchors your alignment and contextualization initiatives described in the session. Which law is it?

• RA 9155 (Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001)

• RA 10533 (Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013)

• RA 10687 (UniFAST Act)

• RA 10157 (Kindergarten Education Act)

Reviewing the Science maps, you notice Grade 4 ends with life cycle basics while Grade 5 begins with ecosystem interactions, showing a planned increase in complexity across grade levels; you want to label this correctly in your plan. What type of alignment is primarily demonstrated?

• Horizontal alignment

• Diagonal alignment

• Vertical alignment

• Spiral concentration

In a same-grade coordination meeting, different Grade 7 sections agree on the same learning standards, comparable assessments, and pacing for the quarter to maintain consistency; in your report you must name this correctly. What is this called?

• Vertical alignment

• Horizontal alignment

• Curricular indigenization

• Standards moderation

During a LAC session, a teacher explains she is relating competencies to the local setting, language, and everyday practices of learners to make content relevant, meaningful, and useful; you affirm this term as defined in the session. What is the practice called?

• Contextualization

• Modularization

• Remediation

• Acceleration

A Grade 5 Math teacher uses jeepneys, tricycles, and market stalls to illustrate ratios that learners observe daily without altering the standard's intent; you classify this degree of contextualization as emphasized in the session. Which is it?

• Localization

• Indigenization

• Globalization

• Standardization

In Social Studies, a teacher draws on ancestral farming practices and traditional governance stories to deepen understanding of civic concepts while honoring community heritage; this application matches which degree of contextualization?

• Localization

• Indigenization

• Internationalization

• Instrumentalization

While finalizing a school memo, you need to name the principle that focuses on using local resources, culture, and knowledge to make lessons relatable, thereby strengthening community connection; the session identified it among the key principles. Which principle is it?

• Learner-Centered Approach

• Local Relevance

• Integration of Indigenous Knowledge

• Alignment with Standards

Your improvement plan lists several actions to help teachers contextualize effectively this semester: organizing LAC/INSET on contextualized lesson planning, providing exemplar materials, and forging partnerships with local industries for lesson cases; taken together, these represent which composite strategy set?

• Only resource provision

• Only teacher training

• Only industry linkages

• Professional development, resources, and partnerships

When presenting RA 9155's implications, you highlight two provisions from the session: that schools are empowered to decide what is best for learners and that programs should reflect community values and aspirations; which statement below best captures this orientation?

• Strict centralization of all curriculum decisions

• Local initiative and school empowerment for quality

• Exclusive reliance on national textbooks

• Removal of community voice in curriculum
