To ensure that this will be properly implemented in all schools in CALABARZON, the Quality
Assurance Monitoring and Evaluation (QAME) Division in coordination with the Curriculum Learning
and Management Division (CLMD)willtake the lead in monitoringthe adherence of ourteachers using
the attached Assessment Tool. Assessment results will be used in formulating CLMD policyto articulate
