What Is the ILAW Lesson Plan? (And Why It Matters for Grade 6 Teachers)

The ILAW Lesson Plan is the new official lesson planning format prescribed by DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026, issued June 4, 2026, for all public school teachers starting SY 2026–2027. It replaces DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016 — officially retiring both the DLL and DLP. Ilawlessonplan

The name itself tells you a lot. ILAW means light in Filipino — a fitting name for a framework designed to bring clarity and purpose back to every classroom. But ILAW is also an acronym:

Letter	Stands For	What It Means for Your Class
I	Intentions	Your lesson goals, competencies, and objectives
L	Learning Experiences	The actual activities, discussions, and tasks
A	Assessment	How you check if students actually learned
W	Ways Forward	Reflection, extended learning, and what’s next

The Ilaw template is designed to make lesson planning a genuine instructional tool rather than a paperwork exercise. For Grade 5 teachers specifically, this is a huge deal — it means your lesson plan should actually guide how you teach, not just serve as a document you submit to your principal. Depedlibre

Is the ILAW Format Required Right Now?

This is one of the most common questions we get, so let’s be crystal clear:

Per Section 23 of DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026, teachers may still use the old DLL/DLP until the end of Term 1, SY 2026–2027. Full ILAW compliance is required starting Term 2. Ilawlessonplan

So here’s what that means in practical terms:

Term 1 (June–September 2026): You can still use the old DLL/DLP format, but switching to ILAW now gives you a head start.
Term 2 onwards: ILAW is required for all Grade 3 teachers in public schools.

Our advice? Start practicing the format now while the pressure is lower. By the time Term 2 kicks in, it’ll feel second nature.
