CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga— The Department of Education Regional Office III will be conducting a series of training sessions this month for the phased implementation of the MATATAG Curriculum. These trainings, organized by the Human Resource Development Division (HRDD) and the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD), aim to prepare educators for the curriculum’s rollout.

The MATATAG Curriculum is designed around the principles of making education relevant for producing job-ready, active, and responsible citizens, accelerating the delivery of basic education services, and promoting learner well-being.

According to the Regional Implementation Plan for the Training on the MATATAG Curriculum, sessions will focus on Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 4, and Grade 7. The Regional Training of Trainers (RTOT) for Division Trainers and School Leaders on the MATATAG Curriculum will be held in two batches: April 15-19 and April 29 – May 3.

“The RTOT aims to demonstrate knowledge and skills on unpacking/merging/clustering competencies per grade level and learning area; integrate 21st century skills, inclusion of principles and brain-based learning theories in teaching and learning processes; apply pedagogical approaches and assessment per learning area for effective lesson planning and simulate collaborative learning expertise; and exhibit positive/inclusive attitude towards the implementation of the MATATAG Curriculum,” explained Regional Director May B. Eclar.
