For DepEd Schools Division & Regional Offices

A teacher support system built within existing DepEd workflows.

glidED operationalizes DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016, the MATATAG curriculum, and DepEd Order No. 002, s. 2024 and Order No. 005, s. 2024 — across hundreds of schools, with human-in-the-loop verification on every output.

Built around current DepEd workflows, reporting requirements, and teacher practices in Philippine public schools.

Current Status

glidED is preparing for pilot implementation with selected schools, starting with lesson planning, assessment support, attendance digitization, and DepEd reporting workflows.

§ 00 — The Reform Window

Four reforms. One school year. glidED is built for this transition moment.

SY 2026–2027 is not an ordinary school year. Four simultaneous policy shifts — curriculum, SHS restructure, calendar, and commission findings — demand a coordinated operational response at division and regional scale.

01

MATATAG Curriculum Rollout

Phased implementation from 2024 to 2028 simplified K–10 competencies — but still requires lesson planning, assessment, and reporting tooling at division and regional scale.

Reference

2024–2028 phased

02

Strengthened SHS Full Implementation

DepEd Memorandum 012, s. 2026 mandates full rollout of the Strengthened Senior High School Curriculum in SY 2026–2027, with revised subject structures and new assessment models across all tracks.

Reference

SY 2026–2027

03

Three-Term School Calendar

DepEd's April 2026 advisory confirms the shift to a three-term calendar beginning SY 2026–2027. This disrupts existing quarterly grading, reporting, and school form workflows across every division.

EDCOM II Findings

The Second Congressional Commission on Education identified systemic teacher overload, structural operational inefficiency, and a national learning crisis — explicitly calling for system-level interventions, not isolated tools.

Reference

EDCOM II, 2024

Each reform increases teacher workload in the short term. glidED absorbs that operational friction — so schools can transition without losing classroom time.

§ 01 — The Mandate

What DepEd Order No. 002, s. 2024 and Order No. 005, s. 2024 asked of every Regional Office.

The Department's instructions are unambiguous. The constraint is operational: how to deliver them across hundreds of schools, simultaneously, without inflating the very paperwork they are meant to remove.

I.

Reduce non-teaching workload

Free classroom hours that have been displaced by lesson-plan transcription, manual grade computation, and physical record compilation.

Recovered

≈ 7 hrs / week / teacher

II.

Standardize DepEd reporting at scale

Every School Form (SF2, SF5, SF9, SF10) must reconcile across schools, districts, and divisions — without per-school spreadsheet customization.

Reconciled

4 School Forms + DLP/DLL

III.

Preserve curricular integrity

MATATAG-aligned learning competencies must remain intact when AI is introduced into planning, assessment, or remediation workflows.

From DepEd-issued LCs

0 deviations

IV.

Maintain data sovereignty

Learner records, assessment artifacts, and personally identifiable information must remain under school and Department custody at all times — RA 10173 enforced.

End-to-end

RA 10173

Teachers today spend more time on paperwork than teaching — glidED is designed to reverse that.

Every mandate on this page describes what the Department has asked of its teachers. glidED operationalizes those requirements — so the time goes back to learners.

§ 02 — The System

glidED is not new policy. It is existing policy, executed at scale.

Designed as a system-level intervention aligned with EDCOM II recommendations on teacher workload and operational inefficiency — not a standalone app. Each operating principle is traceable to an existing DepEd mandate.

Designed based on actual DepEd workflows, school forms (SF2, SF5, SF9, SF10), and teacher requirements under current policies.

glidED focuses first on the highest-burden teacher workflows before expanding to additional features.

I.

Policy, executed at scale

glidED produces DepEd-compliant outputs by default. Daily Lesson Plans follow DO 42 s. 2016 structure; grade computations apply the correct component weights for every learning area; School Forms reconcile across the division. Supports the transition to the Strengthened Senior High School curriculum (SY 2026–2027).

DO 42 s. 2016MATATAGStrengthened SHS
II.

Specialized agents, not general AI

Each agent is scoped to one DepEd workflow — lesson planning, paper grading, attendance digitization, term reporting — with explicit competency mappings. This is not a chatbot retrofitted to schools.

Scoped toolsAuditable
III.

Human-in-the-loop on every output

High-confidence outputs are auto-verified; low-confidence items are flagged inline for teacher review with confidence scores visible. No low-confidence or externally published output reaches learners, parents, or reports without teacher review or approval.

Confidence scoringAudit trail
IV.

Designed for the classroom that exists today

Teachers continue to use paper attendance sheets, paper exam booklets, and existing textbooks. A mobile photograph is the bridge — glidED adapts to the school, not the other way around.

Offline-firstPhoto intake

Teachers remain in full control of all outputs — every AI-assisted result requires teacher review and approval before final use. No output reaches learners, parents, or official records without teacher sign-off.

§ 03 — Rollout Framework

Three stages. The Department's structure, not ours.

Adoption follows the Department's own organizational layers — school, division, region — so each stage produces the artifacts the next layer requires. No re-platforming between stages.

Stage I Focus

Initial pilot implementation begins with the four highest-burden workflows: lesson planning (DLP/DLL), assessment generation and checking, attendance digitization (SF2), and DepEd reporting (SF5, SF9, SF10) — designed for minimal disruption to existing school routines.

Stage I

§ 04 — Operational Outcomes

Time recovered, per workflow, per teacher.

Each row maps a recurring teaching workflow to the DepEd output it produces and the operational time it returns to the classroom.

Teacher Reality

A typical public school teacher handles 5 sections with 40–60 students each — resulting in hundreds of papers to check, multiple School Forms to prepare, and daily lesson plans to document every quarter.

This results in an estimated 7+ hours of administrative work per week, per teacher — time taken directly from classroom preparation and learner support.

glidED is designed to reduce this workload while keeping all outputs fully aligned with DepEd requirements and under teacher control.

§ 05 — Verification

No low-confidence output reaches a learner without a teacher's explicit sign-off.

The verification loop is the load-bearing element of the platform. It is enforced at the data layer — not a policy preference.

Plate III.Verification loop — confidence routing & teacher sign-off
  1. 01

    Confidence Scoring

    Every AI extraction carries a confidence score. High-confidence outputs surface as auto-verified; low-confidence items are flagged inline with a yellow marker for the teacher to review and confirm.

  2. 02

    Inline Teacher Review

    Review happens in the teacher's normal workflow — not in a separate moderation queue. The teacher reads, confirms, edits, or overrides, then signs off.

  3. 03

    Full Audit Trail

    Each record retains who generated it, who reviewed it, who approved it, and when — exportable to PDF for division- and regional-level audits.

  4. 04

    No Unreviewed Output

    No AI-generated output reaches external parties until it clears the verification layer — auto-verified for high-confidence, teacher-reviewed for all low-confidence items. The system enforces this at the data layer.

§ 06 — Field Conditions

Built for the CALABARZON classroom that already exists today.

The platform does not assume ideal conditions. It works where sections are crowded, bandwidth is intermittent, and paper is still the operational reality of the school day.

01

Designed for 55-student sections

Public secondary schools across Cavite and Laguna routinely run sections of 50–60 learners. glidED's grading and attendance workflows are sized for that reality — not a 25-student demo classroom.

Avg. class size, Region IV-A secondary

02

Offline-first mobile

The teacher app buffers photographs, attendance sheets, and grade inputs locally. When connectivity returns, data syncs automatically with full reconciliation — no lost work in low-bandwidth corridors.

Queued sync · conflict-safe

03

Paper remains the source of truth

Teachers continue to use existing attendance forms, blue booklets, and DepEd-issued materials. A single photograph lifts the data into glidED — the paper record stays on file as the audit artifact.

Paper-compatible by design

04

Designed for low-bandwidth environments

Designed for school environments where 3G is the ceiling. Image upload, form generation, and report compilation are optimized for the practical network conditions of the region — not a demo environment. Pilot validation is pending.

3G viable · pilot validation pending

§ 07 — Forms & Reports

DepEd-formatted by default — not by plugin.

School Forms, Permanent Records, and Daily Lesson Plans are produced in the formats DepEd already uses. No re-templating for audit; no divergence between what the teacher enters and what the division submits.

Stage II — pilot validation

Each workflow produces auditable outputs with confidence scores. High-confidence results are auto-verified; lower-confidence items are surfaced for teacher review before any output reaches learners, parents, or official records.

§ 09 — Visibility Tiers

Four tiers of access. Each scoped to its role.

Visibility ascends from the classroom to the regional office — every tier sees what its role requires, and nothing it does not.

Tier I — Executive

Regional Director / Schools Division Superintendent

  • Region- and division-level compliance dashboards
  • Drill-down from regional aggregates to school-level detail
  • Auto-compiled annual reports for Central Office submission
  • Audit trail across every AI generation and teacher review

Tier II — School Leadership

School Head / Principal · Master Teacher

  • School-wide grading, attendance, and reporting visibility
  • MATATAG learning competency coverage by section
  • Teacher performance signals — without surveillance overhead
  • One-click export of School Forms for division submission

Tier III — Classroom

Teacher

  • AI-drafted lesson plans, teacher reviews and signs
  • Photo-based grading and attendance
  • Inline confidence flags — review what matters, skip what does not
  • Mobile-first, offline-capable workflow

Tier IV — Stakeholders

Parents · Learners

  • Parent-facing email alerts for grades, attendance, and announcements
  • Learner view of grades, attendance, and AI study recommendations
  • All communications drafted by AI, signed off by the teacher
  • Strict role-based data access — RA 10173 enforced

§ 05 — Pilot Proposal

What happens if you say yes.

Initial implementation can begin with selected schools in your division, starting with the four workflows that carry the highest administrative burden — with minimal disruption to existing routines.

Pilot Implementation (Proposed)

2 – 3 schools.
8 weeks.
4 workflows.

Implementation can begin at any point in the school year.

Selected schools across 1 – 2 divisions in Region IV-A

On-site onboarding on Day 1 — teachers operational within the first week

Division read-out at Week 8 — findings presented to the SDS and division leadership

Designed for minimal disruption — teachers keep using paper; glidED works around it

Coordinated with the Schools Division Office — rollout follows the region → division → school structure

SF5 · SF9 · SF10

glidED focuses first on the highest-burden teacher workflows before expanding to additional features.

Designed to complement existing DepEd systems and reporting processes — not replace them. Compatible with LIS and existing DepEd email and SF reporting workflows.

§ 10 — Governance

Data sovereignty, by architecture.

Custody of learner records remains with the school and the Department at every layer of the system. The platform is the processor; the institution is the controller.

Institutional records archive — labeled school folders on shelving with a laptop showing an export-data screen
Plate VII.Custody — records remain with the school

01

Republic Act No. 10173 — Data Privacy Act

All learner data is processed under the Department's lawful basis for performing public-sector education functions. Personal information is encrypted at rest and in transit; access is role-scoped and audit-logged.

02

Schools and the Department retain custody

Records belong to the school and the Department of Education — not to glidED. The platform operates as the processor; the school remains the controller.

03

Full export, no lock-in

Every record — grades, attendance, lesson plans, audit trails — is exportable to PDF and spreadsheet at any time, by any authorized user. No proprietary container.

04

Tenant isolation by school

Data is scoped per school identifier at the database layer. A division administrator sees only their division; a regional director sees aggregated, role-appropriate views — never another region's records.

05

Complementary to existing DepEd systems

Designed to work alongside existing DepEd infrastructure — LIS, DepEd email, and SF reporting workflows — not replace them. glidED surfaces AI-organized data into the forms and formats the Department already uses.
