Undersecretary Rizalino D. Rivera called the meetinB to order at 1:00 p.m. 2. Usec. Rivera invited the body to review the minutes of the 1str' National ManCom meeting. In the interest of time, Assistant Secretary lesus L.R. Mateo moved that all comments and corrections on the minutes be forwarded to the Mancom Secretariat instead. Regional Director Diosdado San Antonio, Region IV-8, seconded the motion. Assignment #1 Send comments and corrections on the minutes of the 15th ManCom Meeting, if any, to the ManCom Secretariat on or before 20 fune 2 014. Status: Comments and corrections have been received and noted by the ManCom Secretariat. II. Updates from Programs and Proiects 2. 3. For the National Training of Trainers (NTOT) for Grades 3 and 9, Undersecretary Dina S. Ocampo updated the body that standard videos that contain the Secretary's Message and a full-blown explanation of the K to 12 curriculum have been produced. The cascade model is still being used for the training. There is a need to veer away from this training design but only if there is more recorded content and better distribution. An issue raised on the Grade 3 NTOT, continued Usec, Ocampo, is the late announcement of training date and venue. Next year, training schedule and venue must be announced ahead of time and the NTOT for the next grade levels must be conducted earlier than May; but ideally not too near other events such as the Palarong Pambansa. The second issue encountered, Usec. Ocampo shared, is the frequent change of the number of participants per day. This affected the bidding and production of LMs. An accurate number of participants must be submitted. 4. Usec. Ocampo said that more time must be given to the discussion of the content area and teaching strategies. Minutes spent on opening programs and other similar activities must he minimized. Only draft copies of the LMs in CD format were distributed. Usec. Ocampo expressed her preference for the LMs to not be reproduced, as they are only draft copies. Ll?age 7 During the training, it had been asked why TGs and LMs provided are only for Week 1 of Quarter 1", Usec. Ocampo explained that in the Grades 7 and 8 trainings, teachers would leave their materials in the accommodations, as they will incur charges for excess baggage. It had been agreed that CDs would be instead be provided in the meantime. Usec. Ocampo said that they are having difficulty getting contextualized materials from various regions. K to 3 must be improved. The bridging of K to 3 and Grade 4 must be worked on as well. One of the issues raised after the assessment of the NTOT is the assessment itsell There were many questions regarding Knowledge, Performance, Understanding, and Product IKPUP). Usec. Ocampo said that formative assessment must be strengthened. An assessment that teachers know must be used. The K to 12 cumiculum document has not been released because the assessment framework has not been finalized. 9. Full payments of traveling expenses should have been given. Participants expect full travel expenses to be immediately reimbursed. However, Accounting prefers only half to be given because of previous experiences in which travel documents are not presented. 10. On whether trainers will be paid for conducting trainings, Usec. Ocampo said that it is part of their wor[ so they will not be paid additional fees. service credits/compensated time-off are given. 1.1. For Grade 9 NTOT, Usec. Ocampo explained that certain aspects were modified from the previous year's training, which created a better reception towards Grade 9. Debriefings are facilitated in the evenings, which resulted to teamwork and professionalism. An area for improvement is contenU teachers are asking for more content infusion. 12. Usec. Ocampo requested the RDs to make sure that the schools receive the instructional materials. She shared a case in which a school has not received IMs for ten [10] years. Some offices do not accept deliveries because their supply officer is out of the office. She asked that such incidents should not occur. 13. The activity sheets for kindergarten, reported Usec. Ocampo, should be delivered within the next two [2) months. Some divisions still have not given out lMs for Grades 1 and 7 even when they have been sent the money to replicate. This has to do with the downloading of funds for Grade 1 in .]uly and November 2 012. 14. Alt LMs for Grade 2 should have been delivered by the end of 2 013. Grade 3 IMs should be arriving in divisions and districts by July or August 2014. Grade 7 LMs should have been replicated already as funds have been downloaded. The delivery dates of Grade 8 LMs are wide-ranging as stocks are being replenished due to typhoons. Reminder (Assignment #2) RDs must ensure that the schools are receiving the IMs. Reminder (Assignment #3) RDs must follow-up and ensure that all have reproduced materials for Grades 1 and 7. 15. Divisions that are not included in the TX Audit (those that have not Reminder (Assignment #4) reported whether or not they have replicated the materials) are: Basilan, I R Ds must follow-up with the status of materials 217 agr: 16. 17. Lamitan, Lanao del Sur I-A & I-B, Lanao del Sur II-A & Il-B, Marawi, Maguindanao I & II, Sulu I& II, Tawi-Tawi, Isabela City (ARMMI, and Batanes. Usec. Ocampo asked the RDs to follow-up with the concerned divisions, The divisions where deliveries of Grade B LMs (Filipino & MAPEH] were delayed due to Typhoon Yolanda are: Bohol, Antique, Aklan, Cadiz, Passi, Negros Occidental, Escalante, Roxas Ciq/, Sagay City, Cebu, Palawan, and Romblon. Usec. Ocampo asked the RDs to inform the Central Office if there is a gap it can help address. lMs for Grade 9 are targeted to be delivered between June and September 201.4. Usec. Ocampo said that there have been reports that some regions and divisions either did not distribute the correct number of materials or did not receive the correct number of materials. Those who did not receive the correct number during the training were provided with the lacking copies after the training. Addressing the difficulty of some divisions not having received materials yet, Usec. Ocampo said that materials from the LRMDS may be used. She said that the use of the LRMDS must be advocated. It is fine for the field to modify the materials to better suit the local context of the learners; if possible, share the modified materials with LRMDS as well, as the concept of the LRMDS is to take and give. 19. Usec. Ocampo asked the RDs to inform the superintendents and all others concerned that LMs and TGs are not for sale. Those materials should be given to teachers. 20. Usec. Ocampo reported that tagging of existing textbooks in schools and other DepEd-owned materials as well as the filling out of the metadata for LRMDS were finished over the summer. She presented a sample of a curriculum guide with matched materials for math. A new version will include a column for learning materials. 21. There will be a textbook call for Grades 5, 6, 11, and 12. It is not possible for the materials to be produced by DepEd alone, especially for Grades 11 and 12; private sector participation must be solicited. A section on pedagogy must be included in the specifications for the instructional design requirements of the textbook call. Instructional design will vary based on discipline; stakeholders must be consulted. 22. Grade 4 materials are presently being crafted. Grade 10 materials are already being validated. The K to 12 curriculum is complete. The curriculum document will be released in the form of a memorandum. A first draft of four [4) volumes has been writteU the first volume is on theory, second on K to Grade 6, third on Grades 7 to 10, and fourth on SHS. Style refinements must still be made and the assessment framework must be finalized. The ALS curriculum is being matched with the K to 12 curriculum. The question, said Usec. Ocampo, is whether ALS will reach Grade 12, Answering this must be done on the basis of evidence and not advocacy. 23. Usec. Ocampo continued that the multi-grade school curriculum must be turned into a viable curriculum not iust for remote areas but also for all replication of the concerned divisions. Reminder [Assignment #5J Advocate the use of LRMDS. Make changes to materials to better suit learners in a particular locality. Share these to LRMDS. Reminder (Assignment #6) RDs must inform the superintendents and others concerned that LMs and TGs are not for sale. Assignment #7 RDs to shift conversations away from the usual and towards the heart of K to 12. Dir. Salamat to develop materials focused on issues that are at the core of the K to 12 Program. Status: As of luly 4, Comm Unit has coordinated with the Office of tjsec. 3lPrge places. The K to 3 curriculum is being worked on and refined Teams are being created to work on inclusive education articulation, programs for the gifted and talented, and special programs Usec Ocampo said that she and Usec, Rivera have been finding ways to rollout SHS Not all schools can have a SHS; these must be carefully selected. The curriculum document will include an indicative list of requirements and qualifications for SHS. 24.lJsec. Ocampo presented the status of the K to 12 assessment framework work. The assessment system has been reviewed; everyone is fixated on the NAT. There is a need to look at the assessment of education in different ways. NETRC has studied assessment frameworks of other countries Countries essentially assess five [5] things: 1) student learning, 2) schools, 3l teachers, 4) principals, and 5l the entire system At the Programs level, the evaluation of the system and of student learning will be done' For the next month, workshops will be held on 1) system evaluation,2) essential skills per grade level [for regular student learning assessment], and 3J classroom formative assessment. 25. Usec. Ocampo said that good decisions must also be made with regard to where the NAT is conducted, With multilingual education, the NAT cannot possibly be used in Grade 3 anymore Usec. Ocampo posed the following questions: Do we even want the NAT? How do we have a NAT at the end of Grade 12 when there are so many exits from a curriculum? These questions must be answered in order to release the curriculum document; a curriculum is of no use unless you know how you will be assessed The assessment is important because if the assessment is defined, instruction will change; assessment reibrm is needed for instructional reform' 26. Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro stressed the importance of understanding the real work involved in the educational reform. He said that this is the first time the body discussed the heart of the K12 reformj conversations in public fora have previously focused on classrooms, teachers, and ippointments of superintendents. The Secretary asked the RDs and Director Patrick Salamat to shift conversations on the school level away from the usual peripheral discussions - collection policy, graduation, teacher assignment, etc. - to the very heart of K12. 27. The Secretary reiterated Usec. Ocampo's appeal for RDs to SDSS to be familiar with the resources in the LRMDS and to make sure that teachers have access to the materials and are able to download and use them He asked the RDs to share their materials and make sure there is a system in the regions and divisions where these are captured and submitted eventually, hopefully becoming part of the LRMDS 28. Assistant Secretary and Chief of Staff Reynaldo Antonio D Laguda explained that a fair number of teachers are still required to submit lesson plans; this is what supervisors should check. The difficulty is learning how to harvest from this set of existing learning materials lesson plans that are actually useful, effective, and may be brought up to the LRMDS level and digitized' There is an attempt in Cagayan de Oro to collate the materials; this is one way of doing it - harvest the developed materials Harvesting does not have to come from scratch; it can start from the lesson plans that have already been develooed bv the teachers. and estab[shed an ad-hoc committee composed of Comm tJnit and K to 12 Secretariat staff.'l'he committee has already drafted a communications plan fbr K to 12 that includes: 1. Establishment and training of a Speakers' Bureau composed of CO, RO, and DO reps who will he tasked to act as spokespersons and implement local lECs on K to 12 and senior l.righ sch ool 2. Development of infographics and other visual material that can be shared online and printed out 3. Development of 2-minute infom ercials that discuss various details of K to 12 Assignment #8 Usec.

This should not have been done; it was explicitly instructed that the funds were only for Grades 1 and 7 but it is nonetheless important for CO to know of any violations so that the problem can be addressed without outsiders or third parties getting involved.

The Secretary said that schools and districts can conduct workshops or teacher training programs at their level. Guides on making instructional decisions and on what supervisors should be doing and monitoring to help teachers make instructional decisions should be developed. The talks or workshops can be held for three [3) hours once a quarter. 36. to issue a memorandum on this (only to put the directive in effect). The plans will be posted in an exhibit during the next ManCom. Status: The Office of Usec. Rivera has issued a memorandum regarding the matter and the exhibit will be ready for viewing during the 17!h National ManCom Meeting IIl, Rationalization Plan Updates 1. Usec. Rivera reported that the RatPlan requirements have been submitted to DBM last 13 fune 2 014. The submission included the following: a. Comparative matrices and annexes o Placement and assignment ofregular personnel o List of items to be Abolished, Created, Transferred, and Converted to CTI status b. List of retiring/separating DepEd employees under EO 366 s.2004 c. Request for the incentives of the retiring/separating employees 2. Usec. Rivera clarified that as per EO 366 Sec, 14, retiring/separating employees can still continue working and receive salaries within the following basic provisions: a. Fund source should be MOOE. (The DBM did not approve DepEd's request to continue charging retiring/separating employees' salaries to the PS fund.) b. The salary that they should be receiving must be equivalent to the Basic Salary + Personal Economic Relief Allowance (PERA). c. Contracts can be renewed until the employee 1) receives both the GSIS benefits and EO 366 incentives OR 2) reaches compulsory retirement. (Contracts to be renewed after 30 June 2014.1 d. The head of office and the employee should come with an agreement on the terms of reference. e. DBM suggests that requests for PS realignment to MOOE should be done by region and not by division, and submitted to DBM RO counterpart. Only consolidated reports will be accepted by the DBM RO. 3. Usec. Rivera reminded the RDs to ensure that all retiring employees who wish to continue working have their contracts so that their salaries will not be delayed. 4. Usec. Rivera said that the immediate next step is to fast-track the process and submit the service records of the retiring/separating employees as support to the request of EO 366 incentives. This is to be submitted by the DepEd ROs ro DBI\4 ROs. Assignment #13 1. Regions to submit to the DBM RO the service records of the retiring/separating employees. 2. Regions to submit to the CSC field office the list of employees who will transfer to schools, other DepEd offices, and agencies outside DepEd. Report should include the RO proper and the divisron offices of the region. 3. Regions to request the CSC ROs to endorse a transfer to the receiving CSC office. 4. Regions to submit to DepEd CO (Office of Usec. Rivera) and CSC the list of employees interested to obtaln civil service eligibility. 6lFa;e 5. Usec. Rivera enumerated the different types of employee transfers to other offices. If the transfer is within DepEd and within the region, DepEd RO must inform the CSC field office of the transfer. lf the transfer is within DepEd but across regions, the DepEd RO must request the CSC field office in the region to endorse the transfer to the receiving CSC field office, lf the transfer is outside DepEd, the DepEd Ro must request rhe csc field office to process and coordinate with the recipient office/s. 6. DepEd ROs must submit the updated list of employees interested to obtain civil service eligibility [Prof or Sub-Prof; Computer-based or Paper-and- Pencill to the DepEd CO (Office of Usec. Riveral and CSC. As the original deadline was last 71, lune 2014, Usec. Rivera asked the body to submit within two (21 weeks. 7. Usec. Rivera said that the submission last 11 lune 2014 means that DepEd placement is done. Pending the issuance of the NOSCA from DBM, DepEd can start the process of filling-up positions. There are two types of vacant positions - existing vacant positions and new positions. Existing vacant positions are those retained in the approved RP but are not currently filled up. Newly-created positions are positions to be created in the approved RatPlan. B. For the existing vacant positions, the 12-step regular selection process as stipulated in DepEd Order No. 66, s. 2007 can already be conducted. This is open to all applicants including placed and CTI personnel provided that minimum requirements are met. 9. For new positions, only until Step No. 6 (Posting of RankingJ of the 1Z-step regular selection process as stipulated in DO 66, s. 2007 can be done. This is based on ltem 3 of CSC Memorandum Circular No. 3, s. 2014. Once the NOSCA is issued, Step Nos. 7-12 may be done. No new appointments should be issued prior to the issuance of NOSCA. 10. Regronal Director Teresita M. Velasco, Region l, said that the practice is for the Posting of Ranking (Step No, 6l to be done only after the Personnel Selection Board [PSB] conducts deliberations (Step No. 7), This affects the filling-up of new positions. ASec. Mateo explained that the process has two stages, For example, if the vacancy occurs in the Governance division, a Selection Committee under the division is created to preliminarily select and come up with a ranking. The Committee submits the ranking and the PSB will deliberate on the results of the first-stage ranking. PSB - which is usually headed by the ASDS - comes up with a recommendation (3 candidatesJ. The appointing authority then selects from the three. Usec. Rivera said that a clarification on the matter will be issued. 11. Undersecretary Alberto T. Muyot updated the body that the job descriptions and qualifications have been developed, including legal officers, legal assistants, investigators, etc. Currently, there are no legal officers in the division level. Usec. Muyot reminded the body to be very careful in the selection of legal officers; Iegal officers must be very competent and have unquestioned integrity. He asked for the body's concurrence for him to develop a strict screening process for applicants for legal officers. All RDs concurred. Status: 1. Regions IV-B and XII have submitted retirees' supporting documents to DBM. Regions XIII, CAR, and NCR are currently preparing the documents. 2. Region lV-B has sent the list of transferees to CSC Marinduque. 3. Regions l. IV-B, VIII, and NCR have submitted list of employees interested to obtain CSC eligibility. Assignment #14 Usec. Rivera to create a draft memorandum clarifying the selection process, committees, etc., to be reviewed by the RDs. RDs to be given 2-3 days send their comments and questions on the draft memorandum to the Office of Usec. Rivera. Status of submissions by Regions; A memorandum was issued by the Office of the Usec. for Regional Operations on the complete list of supporting documents needed to fast-track the processing of EO 366 incentives and terminal leave benefits. Status of the Hiring Guidelines for the Vacant Positions: a. The memorandum has been drafted pending final clarification with the civil service Commission as to what extent the regular selection process can TlPage Assistant Secretary Armando C. Ruiz discussed the plantil)a items of utility workers and security guards authorized for secondary schools. According to EO 366, secondary schools are exempted from the RatPIan but their non-teaching items have remained vacant under the moratorium. With the submission of the RatPlan, ASec. Ruiz asked if the secondary schools are authorized to fill up their items of security guards and utility workers. They are waiting for the release of funds of those items and the subsequent realignment to MOOE to hire those items as Contracts of Seruice. ASec. Mateo said that according to EO 366, if positions like security guards or utiliS/ workers will be outsourced, the items will be considered as Cannot be Filled-up. He said that this nust still be clarified lurther. Usec. Varela said that in the secondary schools, non-teaching items are not just security guards and utility workers. There are other non-teaching items in the secondary schools. Thus, this should be taken to nlean that these items can already be filled up without need fbr further clarification. Otherwise, these items wili be in limbo - they cannot be filled up yet there is no more process for DepEd to request DBM for authority to fill-up. In spirit, they are not covered by the objective in EO 365 wherein there is some government direction to outsource certain types of jobs. Usec. Varela asked what kind of instruction should be given to secondary schools. The Secretary said that to ensure that people are protected; no movements should be made until a memorandunr on the matter is issued after checking with CSC and DBM, 16. On the regular selection process, the Secretary said that that old practices can no longer be followed; the steps on the DO 66, s.2007 must be strictly followed. He said that Usec. Rivera wil) prepare a draft memorandum to clarily the steps of the regular selection process, whether positions in secondary schools are included, etc., and send it to the RDs for review. The RDs will be siven 2-3 davs to resDond befbre finalizing the memorandum. t2. 13_ 14 15. b. actually be conducted. Initial response from the CSC Central office is that the preliminary screening and assessment fbr all vacant positions (both existing vacant and newly created) can be done as long as no appointments are issued before the release of NOSCA from DB,M, The Office Selection Committee, tasked to conduct initial evaluation of applicants before the PSB deliberations, is only applicable for the Central Office. However, regions and divisions may also create their own office selection committees if they deem it helpful to fast-track the screening process. tv. Teacher Hiring Policy (DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2014) 1. 4, 3. ASec. Mateo presented the major changes from the previous hiring policy (DepEd Order no. 12, s. 201,2) and the present hiring policy [DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2014). The points system for the RQA has been adjusted; from 55 the cut-off score is now 50. ASec. Mateo explained that the intention of the Do 14, s.2074 is to absorb qualified KVT and LGU-funded teachers, which is why the assigned weights for the certain criteria were changed. Additional points are given to KVT and LGU-funded teachers in the Teaching Experience criterion. Whereas non-KVT and non-LGU teachers only get a maximum of 12 points, KVT and LGU teachers may get as much as 15 points. Maximum points for the Education criterion were decreased from 25 to 20 and maximum points for Teaching Experience were raised from 10 to 15. These changes are based on consultations with various DepEd groups. ASec. Mateo clarifled that while providing for enumeration, the language of the Localization Law, does not provide fbr a "hierarchy." Thus, a teacher mav be appointed ifhe/she comes from the barangay, municipality, city or Assignment #15 Regions are to send comments and recommendations on DepEd Order No. 14, s.2014 to the Office of ASec. Mateo. Status: Regions IV-8, XI, and XII have submtted. 8lr);;r.: province, in no particular order, 0n the directive to stop hiring KVT and LGU-funded teachers, ASec. Mateo said that only qualified applicants as of 2012 may be regularized so that previous positions held by teachers who have been absorbed are no longer fl lled. B. 7. Other changes in the hiring policy include the renaming of the School Selection Committee to the School Screening Committee, as the Committee's function is primarily to check applications' authenticity and completeness and not to select applicants. Additionally, any proof of residency as deemed acceptable by the School Screening Committee nray be accepted. Usec. Varela said that the directive on non'hiring does not nlean that divisions can no longer hire KVT. lt should be clarified that there should be no adclitional hiring, as there will still be hiring because there is a provision for new kindergarten items for 2014 and 2015. ASec. Ruiz said that there will be available funding for KVT but this will be for three months only, using as base the number of classes in EOSY 2013- 2074. The total number of classes is 41,642; coniputing at 2 sessions; the required number of KVT is 20,000, If there is a need to net out the number of created teacher items for kindergarten, this number decreases. This is why only initial funding for June to December (for three months only) will be issued. The regional allocations of some regions are not sufficient to compute for four months. The Secretary said that there should be no KVT, unless there are no automatic provisions and unless specifically requested by the divisions. 6. Reminder (Assignnrent #1 6) In requesting for authority to hire KVT or LcU-funded teachers, data, justification, and recommendations must be sent to the Central Office. V. Abot-Alam Updates and Reminders Undersecretary Mario A. Deriquito updated the body that eleven regions have already submitted their complete data and five regions have submitted partial submissions. Eight regions have already done program partner mapping; the other eight regions submitted partial mapping. Regions II and IX reported to have already met with stakeholders. A total of I,248,824 OSY has been listed in the mapping. Out of this nunber, 636,082 have expressed interest to enter ALS.

Muyot said that within one week from the start of classes, all schools are to submit to the division office their anti- bullying policy.

Nutrition Month 2. The Secretary informed the body that luly is Nutrition Month. Aside from the usual activities like theme-writing and poster-making, he asked the RDs to come up with more practical and action-oriented activities that resonate with the reality of the schools.

Varela informed the body that while DepEd accounts for 40% of CSIS membership, it also accounts for 7 0o/o of their delinquency. The RPSUs must improve their coordination with the division offices such that if the division offices will issue a certification, this information should already be given to the RPSU even before GSIS bills DepEd for the loan. This avoids the problem wherein GSIS has granted the loan on the basis of DepEd's own certification saying that the employee can borrow, yet when GSIS bitls, DepEd says no because the employee has already overborrowed. This is a problem between the regional and division offices. 1. Assignment #23 Regions to address the problem and bring up any policy issues to the Central Office, if any. Status: NCR and Region XI submifted descriptions of their process of remitting GSI S premiurns. LIS, EBEIS, NDRRMC On the LIS, ASec.
