Teachers with over two years of experience can use a Daily Lesson Log instead of preparing detailed lesson plans. The Daily Lesson Log includes the lesson, materials, remarks, and other activities. Teachers with less than two years must prepare detailed lesson plans that include the objectives, subject matter, procedure, assessment, and assignment. Teachers can modify teachers' guides and manuals as needed to suit learners' abilities but must meet learning standards and competencies. Daily lesson plans and logs must be written in the language of the teachers' guides and manuals, except for Grade 1 which does not need to translate to the mother tongue.
