S E C T I O N 0 1 Overview & Rationale The Why Behind These Changes
Key Facts You Need to Know 📋 Order Number DO No. 015, s. 2026 Signed June 4, 2026 📅 Effective Date SY 2026–2027 All public schools nationwide 🏫 Coverage K to Grade 12 Public schools; private encouraged 📝 Supersedes DO 8 s. 2015 & DO 36 s. 2016 Prior assessment & awards orders This order promotes FAIR, TRANSPARENT, and EVIDENCE-BASED assessment practices across all Key Stages.
S E C T I O N 0 2 Classroom Assessment Formative & Summative Assessment
Two Types of Assessment DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Embedded in DAILY instruction NOT used for grade computation Purpose: Improve learning Provides timely feedback ESRU Model: Elicit → Student Response → Recognize → Use Used before, during & after lessons SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT USED for grade computation Three components: WWs, PTs, EXs Written/Oral Works (WWs) Product/Performance Tasks (PTs) Examinations: STs + Term Exam (TE) Quality over quantity — avoid overload
Recommended Number of Summative Assessments (Table 3) DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines Summative Assessment Grades 1–3 Grades 4–12 Written/Oral Works (WWs) Teacher has discretion (sufficient evidence, avoid overload) 3–5 WWs per learning area, per term Product/ Performance Tasks (PTs) Teacher has discretion (sufficient evidence, avoid overload) 2–3 PTs per learning area, per term Examinations (EXs) Teacher has discretion (sufficient evidence, avoid overload) 2 STs and 1 TE per learning area, per term
Term Examination Provision per Key Stage (Table 4) DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines Key Stage Term Examination Provision Number of Items* KS1 (Kindergarten) No TE Not applicable KS1 (Grades 1 to 3) May be administered for selected area, if developmentally appropriate Minimal and teacher- determined KS2 (Grades 4–6) Required; cumulative assessment aligned with competencies 40 items KS3 (Grades 7–10) Required; includes higher-order thinking skills 50 items KS4 (Grades 11–12) Required; competency-based and discipline-specific 60 items *Refers to number of test items; total points may vary based on item type & guided by the TOS.
S E C T I O N 0 3 Grading System Understanding How Your Child is Graded
Key Stage 1: Descriptive Grading System Kindergarten Grading (Table 7) Letter Descriptor General Description CO Consistent (Palagiang Naipapakita) Consistently demonstrates; may exceed expectations DV Developing (Umuusbong) Demonstrates inconsistently; shows progress with practice BG Beginning (Nagsisimula) Rarely demonstrates; requires sustained guidance Grades 1–3 Grading (Table 8) Letter Descriptor A Advancing (Namumukod-tangi) B Benchmarking (Napamamalas) C Connecting (Natutungo) D Developing (Napauunlad) E Emerging (Nagsisimula) ⚠️TRANSITION: Descriptive grading for KS1 will be phased — Grade 1 starts SY 2026–27, Grade 2 in SY 2027–28, Grade 3 by SY 2028–29.
Key Stages 2–4: Numerical Grading — Component Weights DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines Table 9 — Grade 4 to 10 Learning Areas (KS2–KS3) Learning Area / Subject Group WWs PTs EXs English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, AP, GMRC/Values Education 20% 50% 30% EPP/TLE, Music, Arts, Physical Education & Health (MAPEH) 20% 60% 20% Within EXs: ST1 = 30%, ST2 = 30%, TE = 40% of its assigned weight.
Key Stages 2–4: Numerical Grading — Component Weights DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines Table 10 — Senior High School (KS4) Learning Area / Subject Group WWs PTs EXs SHS Core Subjects, Other SHS Academic Electives 20% 50% 30% SHS Field Exposure, Arts Apprenticeship, Creative Production & Innovation 15% 70% 15% SHS Research Electives, Design & Innovation 40% 60% — SHS Work Immersion 20% 80% — Within EXs: ST1 = 30%, ST2 = 30%, TE = 40% of its assigned weight.
Qualitative Descriptors of Numerical Grades (Table 11) DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines Numerical Grade Descriptor General Description Instructional Response 90–100 Advancing (Namumukod-tangi) Consistently demonstrates skills and understanding; exceeds standards Enrichment, leadership, peer mentoring 80–89 Benchmarking (Napamamalas) Demonstrates expected grade-level skills competently and independently Deeper application, transfer of learning 75–79 Connecting (Natutungo) Demonstrates sufficient understanding; occasional guidance needed Guided practice to strengthen consistency 65–74 Developing (Napauunlad) Partial understanding; inconsistent application Targeted remediation, scaffolded instruction 0–64 Emerging (Nagsisimula) Does not yet demonstrate foundational skills; requires intensive support Structured and sustained intervention programs ✅ Final Grade of 75 or higher = PASSED ❌ Below 75 = requires remedial intervention
How to Compute the Grade (Annex D) 1 Get Total Raw Scores (RS) Sum all raw scores from WWs, PTs, and EXs. 2 Convert to Percentage Score (PS) PS = (RS ÷ Highest Possible Score) × 100 3 Compute Weighted Score (WS) WS = PS × Assigned Weight (e.g., 20%, 50%, 30%) 4 Add All WSs → Initial Grade (IG) Sum of all Weighted Scores = Initial Grade for the term. 5 Apply Transmutation Table (SY 2026–27) IG of 70.00 → Transmuted Grade of 75 (adjusted table). Beginning SY 2027–28, no transmutation — Zero-Based. The Final Grade (FG) = Average of all Term Grades, rounded to nearest whole number.
KS1 Transition to Descriptive Grading (Table 12) DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines School Year Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 2026–2027 Descriptive ✅ Numerical (adjusted transmutation) Numerical (adjusted transmutation) 2027–2028 Descriptive ✅ Descriptive ✅ Numerical (zero-based) 2028–2029 Descriptive ✅ Descriptive ✅ Descriptive ✅ ZERO-BASED GRADING (Beginning SY 2027–2028 for KS2–KS4) Term Grades will be based DIRECTLY on computed Initial Grades WITHOUT transmutation. Minimum passing grade remains 75.
S E C T I O N 0 4 Promotion & Intervention Standards, Support & Learner Progress
Promotion, Retention & Intervention Rules DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines ✅ PROMOTED Learner passes ALL learning areas in the previous grade level. FG of 75 or higher in each subject. 📚 SUMMER REMEDIAL CLASS (SRC) For learners who fail in at most TWO (2) learning areas. SRC Mark averaged with FG = Recomputed FG. If RFG ≥ 75, learner is promoted. 📌 CONDITIONAL PROMOTION Fail in 1–2 areas after SRC → Conditionally promoted. Completes deficiency as a back subject through School-Initiated Intervention (SII). ❌ RETAINED Learner fails MORE THAN TWO (2) learning areas. Must repeat the same grade level. ⚠️Excessive absences (>20% of class days) = Failing grade & no credit, unless School Head grants exemption. 📋 SHS: Failure in a prerequisite prevents enrollment in higher-level subjects until remediation is complete.
S E C T I O N 0 5 Awards & Recognition Honoring Excellence and Achievement
Academic Excellence Award Criteria (KS2 to KS4) 🏆 ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AWARD (Grades 4–12) • General Average (GA) of 90 or higher • No Final Grade below 80 in any learning area • No derogatory records within the SY • Listed ALPHABETICALLY
Academic Excellence Award Criteria (KS2 to KS4) General Average (GA) of 90 or higher • No Final Grade below 80 in any learning area • No derogatory records within the SY • Listed ALPHABETICALLY Other Grade-Level Awards (Table 13 — partial) Award / Recognition Description / Criteria Leadership Excellence Award KS2–KS4 learner leaders who demonstrate initiative, responsibility & cooperation. No derogatory records within the SY. Excellence in a Specific Learning Area FG of 90 or higher AND highest FG in the batch in a specific learning area. Identical grades = all qualify. Excellence in Research / Design & Innovation Grade 12 learners (individuals, pairs, or groups of up to four) demonstrating excellence in research or innovation with practical community applications. Special Recognition Awards Learners who bring honor to school through distinction in competitions/contests/exhibitions at division, regional, national, or international levels.
S E C T I O N 0 6 AI & Technology in Assessment Ethical Use Guidelines
Ethical Use of AI in Assessment (Tables 5 & 6) DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines For Students — AI Use in Assessment Tasks (Table 5) Category Use Cases Implementation Notes 🚫 Prohibited EXs, supervised assessments, in- class writing, tasks requiring independent recall AI use is NOT allowed; unauthorized use = academic misconduct ⚠️Limited Tasks requiring learner thinking and contextual application AI for grammar/ translation/ vocabulary/ brainstorming only. Must disclose tools used. ✅ Guided Complex tasks with higher-order thinking (KS3–KS4) Learner must demonstrate ownership & reasoning. Document AI interactions.
Ethical Use of AI in Assessment (Tables 5 & 6) DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines For Teachers — AI Use in Assessment Design (Table 6) Category Teacher Use 🚫 Prohibited Determining FGs; replacing professional judgment; bypassing curriculum alignment; evaluating outputs without validation. ⚠️Limited Grammar/language polishing; drafting test items or prompts; brainstorming assessment ideas; translating competencies into rubrics. ✅ Guided Generating alternative assessment versions; differentiating tasks; drafting feedback (subject to teacher validation).
Key Takeaways — What This Means for You DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines 👩‍ 👧 ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ PARENTS Grades are based on fair, transparent evidence — not just tests. KS1 (K–Grade 3) now uses descriptive grades (letters A–E), not numbers. Grade reports (SF9) will include narrative feedback for KS1. Your child needs ≥75 to pass; Summer Remedial Class available if they fail 1–2 subjects. Academic Excellence Award: GA ≥90, no FG below 80.
Key Takeaways — What This Means for You DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 | Revised Classroom Assessment Guidelines 🎒 STUDENTS Formative tasks (class activities, reflections) do NOT affect your grade. Performance Tasks (PTs) carry the most weight — do your best! AI use in exams is PROHIBITED. Limited/guided use in other tasks must be disclosed. Fail ≤2 subjects → Summer Remedial Class. Fail >2 → repeat grade level. Awards are listed alphabetically — no ranking or 1st/2nd/3rd honors. 🏫 ‍ ‍‍ TEACHERS Formative assessment: embedded daily using ESRU model — NOT graded. Keep assessments manageable: 3–5 WWs, 2–3 PTs, 2 STs + 1 TE per term. Maintain complete, accurate class records — validated by school heads. Apply adjusted transmutation table (SY 2026–27); zero-based grading from SY 2027–28. AI for design only (limited/guided); never for determining Final Grades.
