Homeschooling parents sacrifice a lot of their own free time day to day by teaching their kids from home and deeply engage themselves, taking a more active role in their kids’ education. In recent years, parent involvement or family engagement has been widely accepted as the key to improving children’s academic performance and expected in good parenting. A meta-analysis of 66 studies shows that parental involvement in education leads to greater student success and increased confidence, according to the National Parent Teacher Association. “Family involvement improves student success, regardless of race/ethnicity, social class or parents’ level of education.” Children with families engaged in their education are more likely to:
* Earn higher grades and test scores
* Graduate from high school and attend post-secondary education
* Develop self-confidence and motivation in the classroom
* Have better social skills and classroom behavior
They are also less likely to:
* Suffer from low self-esteem
* Require redirection in the classroom
* Develop behavioral issues

Let us remember to be supportive parents who are focused on the learning and not grades, sensitive to our children’s needs and are available to help only when requested.

DEPED’S MELCs DOWNLOADABLE FOR FREE ON DEPED COMMONS

The Department of Education’s (DepEd) Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) may now be downloaded for free on DepEd Commons (commons.deped.gov.ph/melc) starting today.

“We have made the MELCs available for free download at DepEd Commons to help our teachers focus on what is most essential given the challenge in learning delivery this school year,” said Undersecretary Alain Pascua.

Included in the link are the K-12 MELCs and its corresponding guidelines, which was prepared by the Bureau of Curriculum Development (BCD), under Director Jocelyn Andaya, and approved by Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio (Curriculum and Instruction).

According to the MELC guidelines (also downloadable for free), the MELCs is part of the Department’s response to develop resilient education systems, especially during emergencies, and will enable DepEd to focus instruction on the most essential and indispensable competencies.

“We are trying to make everything as accessible as we can, through DepEd Commons and our other available channels. It is upon us to make sure our teachers and learners have everything they need in order to continue learning” Pascua explained.

Previously, DepEd warned of groups and individuals selling printed learning materials and modules online, and reminded that these materials can all be accessed for free via DepEd Commons, the Learning Portal. Printouts will also be provided for those enrolled in public schools, and that DepEd is also busy working on using Radio and TV for instruction.
