Which one would  you prepare? DLP or DLL? Nowadays, as we confronted the issues about K to 12, teachers have  the same query  on  which guide should be followed? How do we compare? DLP or DLL?  Let’s have a closer look:

• DLP  by its meaning is a teacher’s detailed description of the course of instruction that follows the following outline:

*Objectives;

*Subject Matter;

*Procedure;

*Assessment; and

*Assignment

                Teachers may make modification of/or deviation from the TGs/ TMs whenever necessary to suit the learner’s ability provided that the learning standards and competencies are met. Teachers are encouraged to enhance the TGs to provide activities that will develop higher thinking skills.

As  directive in the guidelines of Dep.Ed. Order  No. 70, s.  2012 , teachers with less than 2 years in teaching experience shall be required  to prepare DLPs. Teachers who have been in the service for more for than 2 years may adopt the Daily Lesson Logs which contain the following entries;

                *Lesson as cited in  TG/ TM reference material with the page/s number               

                *Learners’ Material used such as Activity Sheets, Modules, other materials with the page number reference;

*Remarks indicating the number of learners within mastery level; number of learners needing  enrichment / refinement lessons; and

*Other Activities include the interventions given to the pupils/students who did not master the lesson(s) in the previous day.

To put it into writing; we use the DLL form below : Note that we need to write remarks whatever reasons not to accomplish the daily logs  with corresponding justification.
