💡 Tips for Grade 3 ILAW Lesson Plans

Use the DepEd MATATAG Budget of Work to identify the correct learning competency for each week
Write a genuine Learner Context — base it on actual classroom observations, not assumptions
Design the Learning Experience section with varied activities — individual, pair, and group tasks
Formative assessment should be aligned to your Intentions — not just a quiz at the end
Include an AI Declaration in your lesson plan if you used AI assistance (required by DO No. 3, s. 2026)
Your Teacher Reflection in Ways Forward should directly inform next week's lesson plan
