With the aim of ensuring the quality of locally-developed learning resources based on the standards set by the Department of Education, DepEd Calamba City, through the efforts of the Curriculum Implementation Division-Learning Resource Management and Development Section, spearheaded the Training-Workshop on the Quality Assurance of Localized, Inclusive, and Developmentally-Appropriate Developed (QALIDAD) Learning Resources on March 6-8, 2023 at Chateau Bleu Resort, Bagong Kalsada, Calamba City.

The sessions focused on the learning resource evaluation guidelines, including the social content standards, instructional design framework, Chicago citation style, copyright law, and fair use. Participants had hands-on activities in performing quality assurance of existing teacher-made self-learning modules and other learning resources.

PSDS Inocencia M. Opeña, one of the participants, expressed appreciation of QALIDAD as “this provided us great learning experience which gave us much courage, hope, and insights on the quality assurance of learning materials. It is a tedious task but we were encouraged to be part of the team to achieve the Isang Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa, aligned with the DREAM Project of the Division.”

This effort of the Division is part of the DREAM Project, specifically M-Modify learning package focused on fundamental skills towards resiliency.
