pOLlcy GulDEI:nfEs ON AWARI>s ANI> REcOGNITIONFOR THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

I. Rationale

The Policy GurdeHnes on Awards and Recognition for the K to r2 Basic Education `Program ardculates the recognition given to learners who have showri exemplaryperformance in specific areas of their school life. These guidelines are anchored inthe Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program (DepEc{ 07iderIVo.8 s.20f ¥£ which stipmorts learners+. froffs€Tc dev€io.pmerfu in diri5-e,f ¥givsf ifeen tobecome effective ffelong reamers wrth2ist-century skffis. This poficy `aims to giveall learners equal opportunity to excel in relation to I_he standard set by thecurriculum and focus on their own performance ra.ther than to compete with oneanother. It recognizes that all students have their unique strengths that need to be±deflffi€d, strengthened, and pifo7i`ieiy acthowiedged.

In support of the holistic development of Filipino lea]mers, it is important to veeraway from valuing only academic achievement based on high grades and movetoward valuing and celebrating a wide range of student achievements. The awardsaim to aclmowledge and promote student excellence in various areas and to provideformal recognition of student achievements that can motivate learners to strive. forexcellence in academic, leadership, and social responsibifty. In effect, the policyencourages all learners to remarkably and skillfully perform specific lands of taskscritical to their success in school and at work. Consequently, the policy willinclude all learners and encourage them to be proactive members of their schooland community.

In addition to ac]mowledging and promoting the development of the learners'unique cognitive and other skills that underpin success in school and at work, theawards also aim to nurture the formation of the learners' values and attitudesanchored on the core values Of the I)epartmeut of Educafron.

Awards and recognition bestowed on learners who have successfully attainedstandards set by the school support the efforts and accomplishments of theselearners and afrirm their latent potential, abilities, and dispositions. Learners whofeel good about their abilities and contributions to the school and society are morefikel.v to be happer,t comtent] arid motivatedL When these leamers are recognized fo`rtheir efforts, they will also persist in their desire to excel.

The giving of awards and recognition is but one of the many ways by whichteachers and schools provide students with positive feedback and affirmation,which can improve the learner's confidence, self-awareness, and enthusiasm forlearning. Other wa.ys by which teachers can provide leamers with informationabout their competence or the value of their accomplishments can be explored. Amotivating environment that promotes respect for student diversity and dedication

to learning contributes to the creation of a positive school climate that supports thewell-being and achievement of all students.

11. What awards do we give?

Classroom Awards are recognition given to learners in each class or section. Asimple recQgriition may be given per quarter,, semester`, or at the end of the schoolyear.

Since kindergarten learners have no numerical grades,teachers al`e advised to recognize outstanding achievement of learners based on thedifferent domains and/or leaning competencies of the kindergarten cut-riculum atthe end of every quarter.

Since all learners must be given equal opportunity to excel and demonstrate theirstrengths, an award may be given to more than one learner.
