The document discusses contextualization and localization of lesson plans in the Philippines education system. It provides the legal basis for a DepEd order that supports continuing teacher professional development through learning action cells. The order aims to help teachers improve practice and student achievement. The document also discusses how curriculum contextualization involves matching curriculum content and strategies to student experiences and diversity. Localizing the curriculum links new content to students' familiar local experiences, making learning more relevant and efficient. Contextualization through indigenization is especially important for cultural communities different from the locality to ensure student inclusion.

Bases
• Deped Order No. 35, s. 2016 – The
Learning Action Cell as a K to 12
Basic Education Program School-
Based Continuing Professional
Development Strategy for the
Improvement of Teaching and
Learning

3. DO #35, s. 2016
• Through this policy, the DepEd fully supports the
continuing professional development of its
teaching personnel based on the principle of
lifelong learning and DepEd’s commitment to the
development of teachers' potential aimed
towards their success in the profession. This
can be done through the school-based LAC,
which primarily functions as a professional
learning community for teachers that will help
them improve practice and learner achievement.

4. 15.5 Curriculum Contextualization,
Localization, and Indigenization
• Curriculum contextualization is the process of
matching the curriculum content and instructional
strategies relevant to learners. Student diversity requires
that teachers always consider individual differences in
lesson planning and implementation. Teachers identify and
respond to opportunities to link teaching and learning in the
classroom to the experiences, interests, and aspirations of
the wider school community and other key stakeholders.

5. • By linking new content to the
local experiences that are
familiar to students, learning will
be more efficient for and
relevant to them. The
localization of curriculum is an
essential feature of the K to 12
Curriculum. The teacher’s guide
and learners’ materials may be
modified to accommodate the
unique contexts of a particular
locality.

6. Contextualization
• Deepening curriculum
contextualization through
indigenization is essential for
communities that have cultural
practices that are different from
most people in the same
locality.

7. Contextualization
• Providing spaces for unique
cultures in the K to 12 Basic
Education Program is a key
strategy for student inclusion
and ensuring relevance of
education processes for all
learners. Teachers and school
systems must make sure that
the members of the community
participate in indigenization
processes, so that the
curriculum will be accurate and
faithful to the culture in
consideration.
