This document discusses the DepEd Order No. 8 s. 2015 "Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program". It explains that classroom assessment is an integral part of curriculum implementation and effective learning. It also outlines the theoretical basis for classroom assessment, what is assessed in the classroom, how learners are assessed both formatively and summatively, individually and collaboratively. The grading system is explained as well as how core values are reflected in report cards and who classroom assessments are reported to. The goal is to apply these guidelines to promote self-reflection and accountability among students about their own learning.
