Ilaw Lesson Plan Generator
— The New DepEd Format
for SY 2026-2027
The Ilaw format is replacing the traditional DLL. LessonPlan PH is the first AI tool that generates Ilaw-formatted lesson plans — Intentions, Learning Experiences, Assessment, and Ways Forward — aligned to the MATATAG curriculum.
What is the Ilaw Lesson Plan Format?
Introduced through DepEd Order No. 009, s. 2026, the Ilaw format is a simplified, learner-centered lesson plan framework that replaces the traditional Daily Lesson Log (DLL) and Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP).
ILAW stands for:
Intentions
Define the learning objectives, content standards, and performance standards for the lesson. What should learners know and be able to do?
Learning Experiences
Plan the teaching and learning activities — from motivation to exploration to application. The heart of the lesson.
Assessment
Design formative and summative assessments that measure whether learners achieved the intended learning outcomes.
Ways Forward
Reflect on the lesson — what worked, what didn't, and what adjustments are needed for the next session.
