NAME: SOLEDAD S. CRISOSTOMO SCHOOL: CANIOGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
DESIGNATION: TEACHER III SCHOOL HEAD: ROMELIE C. RAMOS

LESSON 1: COURSE OVERVIEW

ACTIVITY 1
Read the LDM Course Overview. Reflect on the overview by answering the following questions. Write down
your insights in your Study Notebook.
1. What is the main delivery of this course?
The main delivery of this course is the learning delivery modality for teachers, to serve as
a guide in preparation for the new learning delivery modality (LDM) in coping with the
new normal.
Development of teachers in using the new learning delivery modality, as well as the
learners.

2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the “new
normal”?
We will ensure the quality instruction delivery in the new normal by adopting and
practicing all the learning teaching-processes in the modalities.
By supporting the teachers in the teaching profession through organization of
professional learning community that will help them in giving educational instruction
in the “new normal” using the LDM.

3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this course?
My dedication to work and a harmonious working relationship with my colleagues are
the two support mechanisms that will help me with my learning in this course.

ACTIVITY 2
Answer the following questions by copying and filling out the table in your Study Notebook.
1. How will my personal characteristics and circumstances affect (positively or negatively) my
participation in this course?
2. How can I ensure that I am able to sustain my strengths and address the obstacles that will hinder me
from completing this course?

ACTIVITY 3
Look for a colleague with whom you would like to discuss your answers and reflections with to the
questions in Activities 1 and 2.

Based from the two activities I have answered, I will discuss to my colleague that dedication
and hardship is very important to attain the goal of Department of Education to continuously
give the quality of learning that learners must achieve. At this moment, teachers must have an
improvement on his/her performance in the construction of new knowledge about the learning
instructions to cater the present needs of learners in the new normal education. “Work from
home” is not as easy as we think but this is the best option in this new normal educational set-
up. Adopting and practicing all the learning teaching-processes in the modalities helps us to
ensure the quality of education to our learners.

LESSON 2: ORGANIZING YOUR LEARNING ACTION CELL (LAC)

ACTIVITY 1
Begin by refreshing your memory on the Learning Action Cell. Read DepEd Order No. 35, s. 2016 titled “The
Learning Action Cell as the K to 12 Basic Education Program School Based Continuing Professional
Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning.”
Once you’re done, answer the following questions. Write your responses and any other ideas and reflections in
your Study Notebook.
1. Reflect on the objectives for conducting LAC sessions as listed in DO 35, s. 2016. Rank the following
objectives from easiest to the most difficult to achieve:
Rank 1 - To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students.
Rank 2 - To nurture successful teachers
Rank 3 - To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and
pedagogical
knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
Rank 4 - To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School Heads, teachers, and the
community as
a whole.

2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate.
To have a successful LAC, there are challenges we might encounter as we conduct the
Learning
Action Cell.
a. LAC Implementation Process - Before the LAC Session. In order to plan for LACs, the LAC
members guided by the LAC Leader and LAC Facilitator, are expected to identify
professional development needs and prioritise issues to be discussed or addressed in the
LAC session. These can be recorded in a LAC Plan, which will also require details on how
the LAC process will be monitored. Schools can construct their own template to suit their
own needs and contexts.
b. Identification of Appropriate Intervention - The LAC could agree on exploring
interventions to address the identified need. Interventions could be in the form of

3|LDM2 MODULE 1
 learning materials, instructional materials, equipment, facilities, strategies in
teaching, modality in teaching, program, etc.
c. Preparing Line-item Budget - The budget shall come from the school’s respective MOOE
and other external grants, provided that only expenses allowed under the school MOOE
may be included, subject to existing accounting rules and regulations.
School has its own budget to provide the best possible educational opportunities for every
pupil. It is clearly stated in SIP and AIP of the school, however there are times that we
need support from other stakeholders to pacify the needs of a particular project or
intervention we are conducting in order to achieve the learners’ development.

ACTIVITY 2
According to DO 35, s. 2016, a LAC should have no less than 2 but not more than 15 members each. Get in
touch with your designated Coach or LAC Leader in forming your LACs.

Every teacher must be part of a LAC. LACs could be formed based on the prioritized need(s) and
depending on the number of teachers in every school or cluster of schools. However, these groupings are flexible
according to need and context.

One LAC could be composed of five (5) to 15 members. A school may organize as many LACs as may
be deemed necessary depending on the identified needs of the school. In all schools, teachers may convene in
groups that are strategically decided. These may be by key stage, grade level, learning area, or programs offered
by the school

1. Agree on a date and time to meet and discuss forming your LACs. Follow LAC Session 1 Guide for
the conduct of your LAC.
The LAC members can decide on the schedule, length, and frequency of meetings. One to two
hours a week is strongly recommended but the diversity of teaching conditions may not always allow
this. LAC sessions, however, should be conducted at least once a month. Interactions may also be done
through ICT when it is difficult to have face-toface sessions, particularly when involving clustered
schools.

2. During this meeting, decide on your groupings and designate one LAC Facilitator and one LAC
Leader per LAC.
Each LAC should have a leader, a facilitator, a documenter, and members as shown in Figure 2.
External resource persons may be invited when necessary though the preference is for the LAC resource
persons to be from among the LAC members. The terms of reference (ToR) for LAC participants are
found

3. Note the following in forming your LACs:

• LACs should be composed of teachers. Discuss your preferred LAC composition
with your assigned Instructional Coach (this will be a district or division supervisor
assigned to your LAC).
• After forming your respective LACs, there should a LAC Leader assigned to you from
among the following school members:
➢ Master Teacher
➢ Head Teacher/Department Head
➢ Other senior teachers who have proven competence, potential to lead, or
➢ subject expertise to lead the LAC.
• Teacher LACs can connect with their Instructional Coach through the LAC Leader.
This Instructional Coach will also be handling multiple LACs through a network of
LAC Leaders.
