Abstract:

This study assessed the instructional readiness and management of the public secondary schools in terms of content/expertise of teachers, availability/adequacy of textbooks and other instructional materials, the use of strategies in teaching Grade 7 mathematics, and the use of tools in assessing the students’ learning. The result of the assessment served as the basis in the formulation of recommendation/suggestion to help in the successful implementation of K-12 program. A survey questionnaire was used to gather the data for this study. The findings showed that the overall readiness of teachers in terms of content is fair, instructional materials are moderately adequate and the teachers are moderately ready in using required strategies congruent to the skills as spelled out in the Grade 7 math curriculum.
