What is the ILAW Format Under DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026?

DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026 requires all Araling Panlipunan teachers to use the ILAW lesson plan format starting SY 2026–2027. AP is one of the most content-rich subjects in the Philippine curriculum — covering history, geography, economics, civics, and culture from the local to the global level.

The ILAW format is especially powerful for AP because it encourages teachers to connect historical and social science content to learners' real communities (Learner Context), use inquiry-based and discussion-based activities (Learning Experiences), and build civic values through reflection (Ways Forward).

The 4 ILAW Sections — Quick Guide

I — Intentions

Learning Competency from the MATATAG Budget of Work, Content and Performance Standards, specific Learning Objectives, and Learner Context — your actual observations of your class including strengths, interests, and barriers to learning.

L — Learning Experiences

Pre-Lesson activity, Flow of activities using the 8 Learning Design Principles, Learning Resources, and Opportunities for Integration with other subjects.

A — Assessment

Formative Assessment tasks with accommodation strategies for learners with special needs and extension tasks for advanced learners.

W — Ways Forward

Extended Learning opportunities outside the classroom and Teacher Reflections after every lesson — what worked, what to improve, what students want to explore next.
