1. The document outlines a new grading system for K-12 students in the Philippines that uses standards-based and competency-based assessment. 2. Formative and summative assessments are used to evaluate student progress, with summative assessments including written work, performance tasks, and quarterly assessments. 3. Student performance is recorded and computed using a weighted scoring system that assigns different percentages to various assessment components depending on the subject area. Final grades are recomputed if students take remedial classes.

4. Assessment is a process that is used to keep track of
learners’ progress in relation to learning standards and
in the development of the 21st century skills to promote
self-reflection and personal accountability among
students about their own learning and to provide bases
for the profiling of student performance on the learning
competencies and standards of the curriculum.

5. Classroom assessment is an on-going process of
identifying, gathering, organizing and interpreting
quantitative and qualitative information about what
learners know and can do.

6. Teachers employ classroom assessment methods that
are consistent with curriculum standards. It also
measures the achievement of the competencies of the
learners. There are two types of assessments,
namely, formative and summative.

7. Summative Assessment
- Formative Assessment may be seen as
assessment for learning so the
teachers can make adjustments in their
instruction.
- FA is given at any time during the
teaching and learning process.
- Summative assessment may be seen as
assessment of learning which occurs
at the end of a particular unit
- This form of assessment usually occurs
at the end of a particular unit.

8. Summative Assessment
- Formative Assessment
involves teachers using
evidence about what
learners know and can do
to inform and improve their
teaching
- Summative assessment
measures whether learners
have met the content and
performance standards

9. Components of
Summative Assessment
• Written Works (WW)
• Performance Tasks (PT)
• Quarterly Assessment (QA)

13. Grading
System
• The K-12 Basic Education Program (BEP) uses a
standards-based and competency-based
grading system.
• All grades will be based on the weighted score
of the learners summative assessments.
• The minimum grade to pass a specific learning
area is 60, which transmuted to 75 in the
Report Card.

14. Grading
System
• The lowest mark that can appear on the Report
Card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final
Grades
• Learners from Grades 1 to 12 are graded on
Written Work (WW), Performance Tasks(PT), and
Quarterly Assessment (QA) every quarter.
• These three are given specific percentage
weights that vary according to the nature of the
learning area.

*School-based Management compels the modification of the marked percentages. As non DepEd school we are
allowed to modify and the State recognizes the academic freedom to articulate the change to conform to the school’s
vision-mission.

16. How is learner progress recorded and
computed ?
The following table shows the step-by-step
way of computing the grades.

17. 1. Get the total Score (S) for
each work.
2. Then, get the Percentage
Score (PS) by following:
Total Score
PS = Highest Possible Score X 100%
3. Compute for the Weighted Score by
following:
WS = PS X (.20) (.10) (.40)
4. Add all the WS of the four areas:
Journal/Essay/RP, Notebook, Quizzes,
and SW/BA. Multiply the sum of the
four areas by 30%.

18. PERFORMANCE TASKS 40%
1. Get the total Score (S) for
each task.
2. Then, get the Percentage
Score (PS) by following:
Total Score
PS = Highest Possible Score X 100%
3. Compute for the Weighted Score by
following:
WS = PS X (.30) (.20) (.35) (.10) (.05)
4. Add all the WS of the five areas.
Multiply the sum of the four areas by
40%.

19. 1. Get the total Score (S) for
each task.
2. Then, get the Percentage
Score (PS) by following:
Total Score
PS = Highest Possible Score X 100%
3. Compute for the Weighted Score by
following:
WS = PS X (.40) (.60)
4. Add all the WS of the two areas.
Multiply the sum of the four areas by
30%.

Final Grade
• Remedial Class Mark (RCM) is the equivalent of
the Final Grade for Remedial Classes
• The Final Grade at the end of the school year
and the Remedial Class Mark are averaged
• Final Grade + Remedial Class Mark = Recomputed
2 Final Grade
73 + 85 = 158/2 = 79 is the RFG

31. Recomputed
Final Grade
• The teacher of the Remedial Class issues the
Certificate of Recomputed Final Grade, which
is noted by the School Principal.
• This is submitted to the Division Office and must
be attached to both Form 137 and School Form
no. 5
