I. INTRODUCTION
Education is a right. Every learner has the right to quality basic education. The 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article XIV,
Section 1 provides that, “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall Page |
take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”. With this, the Department of Education (DepEd), as duty 4
bearer, ensures that this right is enjoyed by all Filipino learners. As DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis-Briones says, ”Education
must continue even in times of crisis whether it may be a calamity, disaster, emergency, quarantine, or even war”.
The statements above are grounds for the department to continue exploring and doing researches related to curriculum
in the education system. Curriculum development is based on the needs of the particular era. The continuing change is the
results of various factors such as but not limited to environment, rise of technology and occurrence of unexpected events like
calamities both man-made and natural.
Today, a crisis has again challenged the resilience and positivism of the Filipino people. Things have happened and have
changed our normal life. The COVID-19 Pandemic which has caused the death of thousands and continues to threat more lives
has brought fear to most of us. Our government has shifted focus from their normal concerns to mitigating and addressing the
critical effect of the pandemic attack. Economic condition was affected. People have to stay inside their homes limiting
movements while the government has to provide relief resources and support to its citizenry to ensure their wellbeing and safety.
So, amid all these, how is education in the Philippines affected with the pronouncement of the president that there shall
be no face-to-face learning in education unless a vaccine is discovered and made available to control widespread of the virus?
DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region, considering the situation, has set a plan to address the challenge of the time. With the
development of DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region’s Learning Continuity Plan that sets the directions, strategies and efforts of
the Region to ensure continuity in education, the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD), through its Learning Page |
5
Resources and Management System (LRMS) unit and the Regional Education Program Supervisors in-charge of the different
learning areas, was tasked to organize the different teams composed of CID chiefs, division supervisors and personnel, school
heads and teachers to develop the different learning resources needed for the new normal of education.
The team subtask and do a budget of work for the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in the different learning
areas. From here, the Self Learning Modules (SLMs), video lessons, Learning Activity Sheets (LASs) and lesson plans were
developed by the schools division offices. These learning resources were submitted to the Regional Quality Assurance Team
(RQAT) assigned in each SDO to quality assure and finalize them for reproduction and distribution to all learners and schools
in the region. These learning resources are imperatives to ensure quality learning delivery using new strategies and modalities
in the new normal of education.
With all of these learning resources now prepared and available for the new normal of learning delivery, the need to ensure
that all are implemented effectively and efficiency, this implementation guide for the different learning delivery modalities is
issued for the proper guidance of all concerned.
Before finalizing the different classes, class advisers should communicate with the parents to confirm their chosen
modality. It should be clarified with the parents the requirements for the learning delivery modality they opted for their
children. It is possible that parents may have chosen for Online Distance Learning but they do not have internet
connectivity in their area; matters like this should be clarified with them.
In organizing the classes for the different grade levels, the class advisers and subject teachers must work together
to harmonize their schedule for the synchronous online learning to avoid conflict in schedule. Learners with the same
chosen modality should be placed in the same class considering the ideal number per class for every grade level. It is
advised that learners of the same grade level and modality living in closer proximity should be in the same class. This will
facilitate easy communication and follow-up with the learners and parents, and the possible learning collaboration among
learners in the Modular Distance Learning.
For small schools with only one (1) class in a grade level, learners may be grouped in a class according to modality.
Class Programming
The school may adapt class program for MDL that can be on week-long or per-day target accomplishment of
modules whicever is convenient and beneficial for the learners. As learners are working on their modules at home, it
should be clear with the learners that there is still a schedule for the accomplishment of tasks per subject.
When there is a TV or radio station that offer TV/RBI that can reach the area of the learners, the class advisers and
subject teachers should indicate this in the class program. The exact time for the on-air delivery of the lesson should be Page |
8
reflected in the class program. Aside from this, another option is to come up with a separate scheduling with specific time
and day a lesson in a learning area and grade level be aired through TV/RBI. This is done so that learners can prepare
the SLM they need for that aired lesson.
The teaching load has to reflect the teacher’s daily schedule for online learning and modular learning and other
teaching activities such as synchronous and asynchronous online teaching, monitoring of learning progress, preparing
learning activities, giving feedback, communicating and doing follow-ups, and other teaching-related activities.
A sample individual teacher loading is provided in the next page for reference.
Orientation with Learners, Families and Communities on the Learning Delivery Modalities
The school has to strategize how to orient and train the learners and their families on the learning delivery modalities
Page |
they preferred in light of the guidelines issued on health protocols in this time of COVID-19. It is suggested to have a face-
10
to-face orientation and training when allowed by the DOH, IATF and local government units. Health and social distancing
protocols shall strictly be observed to ensure the health and safety of all.
When the situation does not permit the conduct of the activity in this manner, other alternative options shall be
explored such as online videoconferencing, radio announcement, community-based public address or “rekurida”, magazines,
primers and/or brochures.
The training and orientation activity shall cover the following topics:
where learners are registered and have access. It can also be an arrangement for parents to have access to these online
platforms to have up-to-date information of their children’s learning progress and that they can provide immediate
assistance and interventions as parent-teachers. Page |
12
The subject teachers must have a complete list of learners and contact details of every class they are handling.
(Refer to the attached template, Class Master List and Contact Information). They should send information to every learner
using any means of communication on the schedule of class meetings to get to know each other, discuss teaching-learning
schedules and arrangements, subject requirements, curricular and co-curricular activities, school clubs and
organizations, and to make learners familiarize with the use of online platforms, modules, TV and Radio-Based
Instruction, video lessons and learning activity sheets. For online learners, this can be done online by sending them the
online link for the virtual meeting. However, for the modular learners, as face-to-face meeting is not allowed, teachers
may make use of a public address or “rekurida” strategy where they go to communities and do the orientation though a
sound system. All possible means of communications such as group texting, group calling or even home visitations when
possible should be maximized to connect with the learners and parents.
Homeroom Activities
As provided in DO 7, s. 2020, “School Calendar and Activities for School Year 2020 – 2021”, the school should
conduct homeroom activities that include health and psychological activities particularly psychological first aide for
learners, discussion on the characteristics and effects of the pandemic, orientation on precautionary and preventive
Curriculum and Learning Management Division
measures such as water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and other topics related to COVID-19 pandemic on August 17
– 22, 2020. It is suggested that SDO shall come up with a uniform resource package and delivery platform for this activity
that will be implemented in all schools in the division. Page |
13
Each learner should be given a printed copy of the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) and Learning Activity Sheets
(LASs) and the electronic copy of the Video Lessons (VLs) in all of his/her subjects for free together with all the available
textbooks, big books, story books and other learning resources in schools before the opening of classes. The school may
opt to give to learners the number of SLMs and LASs needed for one (1) week, two (2) weeks, or one (1) month depending
on what the school thinks is better to do.
The instruction for access to DepEd commons and the online link to learning resources in the division and region
should be provided to learners and parents. Request of learners or parents for electronic or digitized copies of the SLMs,
VLs, LASs and other learning resources available should be granted.
The current difficult situation brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic that affected our nation made DepEd
SOCCSKSARGEN Region more innovative in ensuring the continued delivery of accessible, quality and liberating basic education Page |

services for the learners. In light of this crisis where normal delivery of face to face instruction becomes limited and constrained,
the region is taking proactive action to provide learners with the most appropriate learning delivery modalities that would benefit
them the most.
DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region ensures that the learning delivery modalities that will be implemented in schools are
those that best address the needs of learners. The parents’ choice of the modalities for their children that is reflected in the
Learner Enrollment and Survey Form (LESF) shall be the basis of the modalities to be offered in schools with consideration to
access, conditions/situations, readiness, available learning resources and legal issuances.
In the context of the present situation, DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region will implement a combination of Online
Distance Learning, Modular Distance and TB/Radio-Based Instruction and will be supplemented with the use of video
lessons.
For reference, the next table presents the different learning delivery modalities that can possibly be implemented.
However, with constraint of face-to-face learning, the Region decides to implement a combination of modalities under
Distance Learning. When the health situation and legal issuances would permit the conduct of face-to-face learning, the Region
would accordingly adapt to make the implementation of different modalities responsive to the needs of learners.

IV. ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING (ODL) + MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING (MDL): Supplemented with Video Lessons
Description
Page |
Online Distance Learning is a modality that the teacher uses with the aid of a computer and internet connection 16
and the different online platforms for synchronous and asynchronous learning to deliver the content of the lesson to the
learners.
Synchronous online learning involves real-time teaching-learning engagement between the teacher and the learners
where they both go online on a specified time but at different places using the online learning platforms such as Microsoft
Teams, Google Meet and Zoom. In this modality, learners learn directly from the teacher and interaction and feedback
are in real-time.
On the other hand, asynchronous online learning involves the use of a Learning Management System (LMS) like
Google Classroom, Moodle, Edmodo and Schoology where the teacher and the learners do not necessarily access the
learning platform at the same time. The teacher provides a learning task in the LMS and learners can access and work
on them anytime. Interaction and giving of feedback are not in real time.
In the context of DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region, online distance learning also involves the use of the Modular
Distance Learning’s Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) that learners work on within a specified timeline. The lesson
presentation and discussion of the teacher during online learning is based on the SLMs however this does not limit the
teacher from providing other tasks and activities that will further enrich learning. This will also be supplemented by video

lessons that learner can watch, as many times as they can, to have a clear and deep understanding of the concepts
presented.
In this modality, there is an allowable daily screen time for synchronous online learning specified for each key Page |

and the asynchronous and modular learning. This has also to include the schedule for Homeroom/Guidance Program.
26
The schedule for Remote Cooperative Learning is also added to encourage learners to connect and collaborate
with other learners and share their learning experiences.
The time allotted for synchronous online learning shall also be flexible considering the maximum allowable screen
time for each key stage. Schools can reduce the time for synchronous online teaching-learning to one hour every
week per subject from Grades 4 - 12 as they see fit and beneficial for the learners.
The sample class programs presented for Kindergarten to Grade 3 provide enough time in the afternoon that can
be utilized for accomplishing the modules and other learning tasks.
The sample class programs provide guidance how the different subjects and the time for synchronous and
asynchronous online learning and modular learning be organized. Schools can contextualize the programs by
modifying the subject placement and the time schedule for each subject and the synchronous and asynchronous
and modular learning.
Kindergarten
The class program for Kindergarten for the online distance learning follows the Blocks of Time, however the regular
time allotment for the different learning activities/blocks is reduced to make it more suitable for distance learning. Page |
27
Flexibility for parent-led activities at home, like indoor/outdoor activities, is encouraged depending on the readiness and
interest of the learner.
The parent should always ensure that equipment and materials especially for online learning like the laptop or
desktop computer with enable web camera is set-up before the start of the online learning session. The signing-in online
shall be done by the parent.
During the online learning, the parent should assist the learner. Instruction from the teacher should be checked
by the parent if followed properly by the child.
Even for online distance learning in Kindergarten, lessons shall still be based on the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs).
The learning activities in the SLMs shall be followed by the teacher and performed and accomplished by the learner with
the guidance of the parent. Learner’s outputs and performance shall be evaluated to determine the learning progress.
This shall also be used as basis for the provision of remediation or enrichment activities that may be given to the learner
to ensure that the target knowledge, skills and attitudes are acquired.

Description
Page |
Modular Distance Learning is a modality that the teacher uses with the aid of the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) to 46
deliver the content of the lesson to the learners at their homes with the active participation of parents or other people who
act as learning facilitators, para-teachers, tutors, learning partners, assistants, advisers, counselors or guides to ensure
that the learners focus, study and accomplish the activities in the SLM and on the different learning tasks given by the
teacher.
This modality provides the learners a great opportunity to develop independence and a sense of responsibility in
accomplishing the tasks at their own pace, and acquire better self-study learning skills as they engage themselves in the
learning concepts presented in the SLM.
In this modality, there is a uniform class program given to learners that guides them every day what SLMs to work on.
As the class program presents the target SLMs to be accomplished every day, this does not limit the learners from working
on other SLMs. Work progress on different SLMs generally depends on the learners’ pace and readiness. While the class
program provides a clear direction what SLM to work on a particular time, it also facilitates easy monitoring and follow-up
of learning activities and progress in accomplishing the SLM.
The MDL modality is also be supplemented with the use of video lessons that provide learners better understanding
of the lessons and concepts presented in the SLMs.

The success of modular distance learning lies on the engagement of learners and parents in learning as there is
less direct interaction and supervisions from the teacher; with greater autonomy for learning, greater responsibility and
commitment to learning is expected. The engagement of parents in learners’ education is essential to ensure learning
success. With this, teachers need to make sure that learners and parents are equip with the proper mindset, attitude and
understanding how independent study and self-learning work to better prepare them for modular learning. They should
continuously provide guidance to the learners as they progress through different learning tasks in the module. They
should regularly communicate with learners and parents to keep track of their learning progress.
The next figure shows the process flow of learning in modular distance learning and the specific tasks of the teacher,
learners and parents/para-teachers need to perform.

There are two sample class programs from Grade 1 to Grade 12 presented here for the Modular Distance
Learning. The first involves a week-long accomplishment of the SLMs; that is, there is a time or period every day
from Monday to Friday that learners will work on all the SLMs. The second design involves a per day
accomplishment of 1 or 2 subject SLMs.
The class program for Kindergarten still follows the Blocks of Time with the inclusion of Homeroom/Guidance
Program to provide teachers more structured and ample time to monitor learning progress and provide appropriate
intervention.
For Modular Distance Learning, the idea of allowing learners to come up with an individual learning
plan (similar to a class program) that reflects what modules each of them wants to accomplish on a particular
day and time was considered. However, after a thorough study of the matter, it was found out that with the
big number of learners in a class, the subject teachers will have difficulty monitoring the learners, that is
why there are uniform class program designs prepared that learners will have to adopt for working on the
different subjects’ SLMs.
For any additional subjects under Special Interest Programs (STE, SPJ, SPFL, SPS and SPA) and ALIVE Page |
57
Program, the time in the class program can be extended, and the time allotted for remote cooperative learning
can be fully utilized for the subjects.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten learners, to have a good grasp of the concepts and skills they are taught, need somebody to
guide and assist them. Hence, for the modular distance learning, the role of the parents or somebody is imperative.
The next table provides guidance to parent-teachers of the specific activities and tasks to do for each Block
of Time. They need to familiarize them to be able to help the learners and ensure that they learn the skills and
concepts presented.
Following this table is a class program for Kindergarten under the Modular Distance Learning that still follows
the Block of Time with reduced time allocation per block or activity.
Note:
The phone call time spent by the teacher with the learner depends on the
completeness and sufficiency of information the teacher obtained from the learner
needed to determine what knowledge, skills and attitudes he/she already
acquired. This has to take around 3 – 5 minutes

TV/Radio-Based Instruction
Lesson Episode Scheduling
The Lesson Episode Scheduling presented here provides guidance on what grade level and subject area shall be aired
on a particular time and day. This will serve as guide when partnering with TV or radio stations that offer a time slot for
TV/RBI; for example, Radio X offers the time slot 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM daily to DepEd, then that time slot will be utilized for
airing lesson episodes for Grade 4 subjects from Monday to Friday, one (1) or two (2) SHS Core subjects on Saturday, and
another one (1) or two (2) SHS Applied/Specialized subjects on Sunday.
As reflected in the schedule, SHS subjects are scheduled on Saturdays, Sundays and from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. It is to
be noted that some SHS subjects can either be offered in Grade 11 or Grade 12, or in first semester or second semester, so
the scheduling of subjects in Grade 11 and Grade 12 is not uniform in all schools. This has to be considered in choosing what
particular SHS subject shall be aired when there is limited airtime slot for TV/RBI.
In the TV/RBI Lesson Episode Scheduling, each subject area per grade level is allotted either 30 or 60 minutes per
week. The time allocation for each subject area shall be used as basis for determining the length and coverage of the video
lessons or radio script that is based on the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs). Page |
88
The schedule for accomplishing the SLMs under this modality should follow the class program presented per
grade level in the Modular Distance Learning, however, schools are encouraged to make adjustments with the time
and subject placement to consider the schedule of TV/RBI lesson episode, provided it is convenient to the learners.
VII. IMPLEMENTING SPECIAL EDUCATION (SPED) IN THE NEW NORMAL: TRANSITION PROGRAM AND NON-GRADED
The class programs for Transition Program and Non-Graded learners are designed based on the combination of online
learning and modular learning. As strongly recommended, teachers will coordinate with the parents on the schedule of online
sessions as well as on the necessary arrangements of the appropriate class scheduling suitable for the distance learning.
Learner’s outputs and performance shall be evaluated to determine the learning progress. This shall also be used as basis for
the provision of remediation that may be given to the learner to ensure that the target knowledge, skills and attitudes are
acquired therefore, the parent’s assistance, attention and commitment to teach his own child is greatly encouraged.
