The second quarter of the school year signals a more advanced stage of classroom learning nationwide. At this point, instruction transitions from reinforcing foundational skills to emphasizing complex lessons, higher-order thinking and practical application. Whereas Quarter 1 concentrated on establishing routines, essential competencies and classroom expectations, Quarter 2 pushes both teachers and learners toward deeper mastery through critical analysis and applied performance tasks. Within this progression, the DepEd Lesson Exemplars for Quarter 2, SY 2025–2026 serve as indispensable teaching tools. These exemplars deliver structured, curriculum-based guidance that keeps lessons consistent, developmentally appropriate, and firmly aligned with the standards of the MATATAG Curriculum.
The Role of Lesson Exemplars in Quarter 2
Lesson Exemplars (LEs) provide a comprehensive roadmap that bridges Content Standards, Performance Standards and Learning Competencies within the MATATAG Curriculum and the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). These guides ensure lessons are sequential, standards-based and flexible enough to accommodate contextualization, creativity and collaboration.
For teachers, exemplars deliver confidence in implementing structured yet adaptable lesson flows. For learners, exemplars guarantee that each week builds toward mastery whether reading with fluency, solving algebraic equations or developing values that strengthen character and citizenship.
