What is the Matatag Curriculum for Grade 3?

The Grade 3 Matatag Curriculum employs its Instructional Design Framework, that composed of three essential pillars: Curriculum, Teaching, and Assessment. It is rooted in the principle of optimal learning, helping teachers achieve the target competencies. At the same time, the Matatag Curriculum places learners at the center of designing learning content and strategies.

The success of this curriculum depends on the teacher’s holistic approach and attention to innovation and learner-centeredness. So, the teachers should adapt their Daily Lesson Log (DLL) to include pedagogical methods and strategies that keep learners actively engaged. Therefore, the teaching-learning process should primarily focus on developing critical thinking and essential skills as the foundation of classroom activities.
