Multiple methods and innovations in the assessment process were honed and utilized based from the analysis crafted from the Voice of the Costumer (VOC), questionnaires and data gathering.

RESULTS

The following are the findings of this study: 1] Written works got the lowest performance level among the three components of summative test; 2] Remembering Level of the Cognitive Domain has the most number of test items in the teacher-made test for first and second quarters; 3] "Nag Level Up Na" ranked first in the innovations and interventions implemented; and 4] The Project has the very high impact in the academic performance of the learners in Araling Panlipunan.

DISCUSSIONS

The results manifested that conducting innovations and interventions were necessary for the learners to achieve more and develop their thinking abilities. There is a need to introduce more techniques and strategies in assessing the learners' academic performance. The following are the interventions made to address the identified problems in this study. "Nag level-up na!" (Contextualized written assessment tools) was an assessment tool (summative/unit tests) written in Nabuanon which were upgraded or enriched into higher order thinking skills. The pupils understood clearly the test questions, since it was written in their own dialect at the same time the classroom instruction in this subject is Mother Tongue-based. Another was the "Our Masterpiece" (Portfolio) which is a compilation of the learners' best works in their PerformanceTask Assessment. And lastly was the "A Teacher"¦ A Learner" this was the training for teachers in order to have in-depth information and necessary training in test construction to gain knowledge and information
