1.3 Teaching System

The Ateneo Grade School Department adapts the K to 12 Grading System. Assessments come in two types, formative and summative. Formative assessment may be seen as assessment for learning so teachers can make adjustments in their instruction. It includes performance in seatworks, homeworks, reviews, drills, exercises, games, recorded but not graded quizzes, etc. Though not included in the computation of grades, formative assessment must be recorded to keep track of learner’s progress. Summative assessment, on the other hand, may be seen as assessment of learning, which occurs at the end of a particular unit. This form of assessment usually occurs toward the end of a period of learning in order to describe the standard reached by the learner. Summative includes three components: Written Work (WW), Quarterly Assessment (QA) and Performance Task (PT). Summative assessment for each component comes only after substantial formative assessments have been conducted. The following are the steps in computing for the Quarterly Grades:

• Raw Scores (RS) from all student work are addeed up. This result in the Total Score (TS) for each component, namely Written work, Performance Task, and Quarterly Assessment.
• The Total Raw Score (TRS) for each component is converted to a Percentage Score (PS) by dividing the TRS by the Highest Possible Score (HPS).
• Percentage Scores are then converted to Weighted Scores (WS) by multiplying PS by the weight assigned in each component (WC) in each particular subject. As shown in the table below.
• Weighted Score (WS) = Percentage Score (PS) x Weight of Component (WC)

Components/ Subjects	Languages (Eng, Fil, MTB)	AP	EsP/ LE	Science	Math	MAPEH	TLE
Written Work	30%			40%		20%
Performance Tasks	50%			40%		60%
Quarterly Assessment	20% (10% each for MQA and FQA)

• The sum of the Weighted Scores in each subject is the Initial Grade (IG).
• The Initial Grade then will be transmuted using the given Transmutation Table (See Appendix A) to get the Quarterly Grade (QG).
• The QG for each learning area is written in the report card of the student.

1.4 Material and Other Learning Sources

1. Textbook
2. Their environment

1.5 Measurement and Evaluation System 

The Ateneo Grade School Department adapts the K to 12 Grading System. Assessments come in two types, formative and summative. Summative includes three components: Written Work (WW), Quarterly Assessment (QA) and Performance Task (PT). Written Work (WW) ensures that students are able to express skills and concepts in written form.  It may include quizzes, unit or long tests, essays, written reports or outputs whose items are distributed across the Cognitive Process Dimensions. There shall be at least five (5) scores/marks for Written Work component every quarter or grading period. Performance Task (PT) allows learners to show what they know or are able to do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products or do performance-based tasks. It includes skills demonstration, group presentations, oral work, multimedia presentations, research projects and other written output which allows learners to create or innovate in diverse ways. It gives students opportunities to demonstrate and integrate their knowledge, understanding and skills about topics or lessons learned in a specific real-life situation by performing and/or producing evidence of their learning. There shall be at least one (1) PT in every quarter. However, if there is just one PT in one quarter, it should contain complex or multiple learning targets and it must be given only limited or proportionate credit. Quarterly Assessment is divided into Mid-Quarter Assessment (MQA) and Final Quarter Assessment (FQA). These are in the form of tests that synthesize all the learning skills, concepts, and values learned. The Mid-Quarter Assessment (MQA) covers the first half of the quarter.  In the primary grades, MQA is given to five (5) subjects only, namely: Math, English, Filipino, Science and Araling Panlipunan. The Final Quarterly Assessment (FQA) covers the second half of each quarter. It is given in all subjects.

1.6 Curriculum

The Grade School adapts the K to 12 Curriculum Program. It is an innovative curriculum that aims to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop life-long learners and prepare completers for secondary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

1.7 Teaching Plan

The teaching plan that I will do is to use the game method. Basically elementary school students are happy with playing games. then by using this method, learning that takes place will be fun. The learning media that I will use are talking sticks, word cards, projectors and student textbooks. The media can be used randomly in several meetings. The material that I will teach is about English especially on the topic of prepotition time and preposisition place.
