Position: Head Teacher I
Date: July 16, 2025
Topic: Orientation on ARAL Program
Objective/s: To reiterate the implementation scheme of the Academic Recovery And
Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program
Summary:
DepEd ARAL Program, established by Republic Act No. 12028, is a national
learning intervention program focused on addressing learning gaps in reading,
mathematics, and science for learners in Kindergarten to Grade 10 in public schools. It
aims to ensure that all learners, including those in the Alternative Learning System,
develop foundational skills and reach grade-level competencies. The program utilizes
various delivery modes, such as face-to-face, online, or blended tutorials, and may
include supplemental classes during summer breaks.
Reflection: I acquired thorough understanding of the National stance to intensify
learning through ARAL Program. I agree that learner’s learning and development is
basically an obligation of teachers. It is collaboratively instilled by teachers from Key
Stage 1 and through out the succeeding grade levels. Teachers need to be more
compassionate and empathetic for their learners. However, at this time that we are
olready on the dilemma of the backlog of developing foundational skills and functional
literacy, schools must make their means to offer sustainable and efficient remediation
and intervention.
Observation Notes: The speaker has mastery of the topic and was abl;e to explain her
topic well.

literacy among our learners. Her emphasis on the importance of implementing effective
intervention programs reinforces the idea that addressing learning gaps is a shared
responsibility that requires dedication and consistency. I realized that beyond teaching, it
is our duty to ensure that every learner receives the support they need to improve their
reading and comprehension skills. The call for proper monitoring serves as a guide for us
to track progress, identify challenges, and make necessary adjustments to achieve better
outcomes. This session inspired me to be more proactive, resourceful, and committed to
the success of the ARAL Program, knowing that each effort we put in today will shape the
future of our learners.
