visit1i1 and today I'm going to discuss
about policies on the K-12 program on
ECE
so first let's have the introduction
with it which is the Department of
Education our deep Ed ordered number
21 series of 2019 entitled policy
guidelines on the K-12 basic education
program with objectives such as but not
limited to
number one provides context to
articulate its context features and
programs number two provides a
comprehensive explanation of the K-12
basic education program and its
components across all the case stages
and to provide a clear framework for the
monitoring and evaluation of the program
number three
integrates many of the existing policies
and guidelines on K-12 and provides a
reference point for ongoing and or
future review of any of its components
as may be directed by the secretary
on August 22 2019 the Deep Ed issued
order number 21 series of 2019 uh
entitled policy guidelines on the K-12
basic education program with those three
objectives
but one essential part of those
guidelines is on ECE particularly on
kindergarten education and Elementary
education or what we call K stage one so
next is the kindergarten education
so enhance basic education Act of 2013
kindergarten is the first stage of
compulsory and mandatory formal
education so as defined in in the
enhanced basic education Act of 2013
kindergarten is the first stage of
compulsory and mandatory formal
education
which consists of one year of
Preparatory education or what we call
prep for children at least five years
old as requirement for grade one next is
Elementary education
enhance basic education Elementary
education refers to the second stage of
compulsory basic education consisting of
six years grade 1 2 grade 6 which is
consists of six years
so the purpose of it is to help Learners
develop a solid base of literacy
numeracy social and acquiry skills
so next is outcomes intended to engage
them in Rich vibrant culture based and
meaningful experiences as according to
Annex a
depth at order number 21 series of 2019.
Elementary education is specifically
represented by Elementary grades which
refers to grade levels in Elementary
from grade 1 to grade 6. these are
composed of two stages of the K-12
curriculum the case stage one
is kindergarten to grade 3 while K stage
two
is our grades four to grade six
so next is the characteristics of
Learners in the elementary school or
early childhood the ages 0 to 8. from
age zero to four years old children are
developing quickly in all aspects of
development from five to eight years old
children's physical growth slowed down a
little but great strides and grows in
fine motor coordination take place their
organ system are maturing and it is
important that their health and
nutritional needs are met
so according to nxa Department order
number 21 series of 2019. so the Early
Childhood is critical period because it
is where you formulate child's
intelligence personality and the
behavior
the aspects of development are physical
cognitive social emotional and language
it is important to move and mature both
muscular skeletal nervous respiratory
circulatory and immune systems and to
meet their nutritional needs
so play is important
part of Learning and Development this
period socialize other people
experience and explore because by this
age they will learn by observing and
imitating models that they usually met
like their parents teachers or ilama
friends
so developing capacity to share and take
turns and they are able to play
cooperatively with their peers so the
play is very essential
two
they're learning and their development
and at this stage also children is
learning their identities and it and is
expected of them by observing and
imitating their models so
at this stage zero to eight
imitate
because we are the role models foreign
so next is the principles of early
childhood education the national Early
Learning framework or n Alf are now
developed by that early childhood care
and Development Council or eccd provides
for 16 principles to serve as guide to
understanding of Early Childhood
learners
so first a on child growth and
development
so growth and development vary from
child to child for whom the first six
years of life are most vital
every aspect of growth and development
is interrelated and interdependent
Learning and Development of every child
involved a series of complex and dynamic
processes that are best attended to in a
more positive and responsive manner the
child must be encouraged to Aspire
Beyond one's own level of achievements
and to practice newly acquired
competencies so every child is a
thinking moving feeling and interactive
human being
according to now 2010 so every person is
unique
also it is good if the child is natural
or innate or inborn love to learn by
that they can gain and learn through
their experiences or exploration so
every child needs to be taught and take
good care to his or her healthy
environment especially to his parents
and teachers or to the adults around him
also every parents are surrounds first
one encourage the child must encourage
the child to pursue and practice
learning so it is easily adapted to the
child
to his super environment so let's
practice the cultural values and
religious beliefs to them
so on learning program
children are engaged as active Learners
through play
the contacts for Early Learning and
Development the learning program is
appropriate for developing the domains
of development identified in then now
and must sustain interest in active
learning of all young children including
those with special about abilities are
marginalized and are at risk learning
materials and other resources that are
locally available are developed is
encouraged the mother tongue shall be
used as the child's language of learning
in the early years and shall be
recognized as a bridge learning of
language
so now 2010
so in early childhood education
play is very important to impart
knowledge and experience to every child
and also the Learning Materials is
highly encouraged to use to every
School's teachers
so according to now of 2010 the mother
tongue should be used child's language
and should be known as Passover language
in learning foreign
parents of the child's progress
essential and identifying the child
total developmental needs and does not
determine academic achievement
best conducted on a regular basis so
that a timely response may be made to
Imperial learning process the results of
the assessment of learning of the child
shall be kept strictly confidential
rating should be qualitative or
descriptive and not only
numerical the family and community may
be in form of the general outcomes of
learning in the early years so as they
to encourage further cooperation and
Partnerships a snaf said 2010
so as assessment defined it is the
evaluation or estimation of the nature
quality or ability to someone lessons
so that's why until now assessment is
still there so the assessment of
learning zabata is private there's also
the waist boli
salad because of their learning their
slow learning development because the
enlightenment on
so that's why this assessment
is
so okay stage one which is the
kindergarten to grade three so to
contribute to fulfilling the cost of
Elementary education the kindergarten to
grade 3 curriculum aims to a provide
Learners with opportunities to engage in
meaningful and culture-based learning
