Coaches should ensure that all resources are available and ready for
use by the participants before they begin studying the Module.
Do a quick check of your knowledge of the four modalities prescribed in the LCP—face-
to-face (F2F) learning, DL, blended learning (BL), and homeschooling. In your own words,
define each modality. Write your own definitions in your Study Notebook. When you are
done, check Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 1 to see how well you did.
Now, answer this question: Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component?
Write down your answer in your Study Notebook, then check it against Lesson 1, Activity 1
Answer Key 2.
ACTIVITY 2.
Note that when a vaccine is already available and F2F will be allowed by the Inter-Agency
Task Force (IATF) and by the local government unit (LGU) concerned, any of the DL
modalities may be combined with F2F learning to come up with a BL. Learn more about BL in
the Supplementary Handout on Blended Learning Delivery Modalities.
18 Module 3A: Designing Instruction in the Different Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs)
Coaches should emphasize to the participants that BL is only
applicable when a vaccine is already available. F2F sessions in this
modality, then, has to be carefully planned such that the activities
during those sessions observe physical distancing.
ACTIVITY 3.
Then rank the DL types—MDL, ODL, TVBI, RBI, and BL—from easiest to most difficult to
implement. Give the reasons for your ranking of each. Replicate the following table and write
your answers in your Study Notebook.

ACTIVITY 4.
The LCP assures that all possible measures will be taken to ensure that no child will be
excluded from learning during the COVID-19 crisis. Think about groups of learners in your
School/Division who might require special consideration to be able to participate in DL.
Describe what targeted interventions you would develop to include them. Listed below are
some examples which may be relevant to your context. Add others as appropriate. Write
down your answers in your Study Notebook and share your ideas at your next LAC Session.

Coaches should make sure that the participants understand that the
first part of Lesson 2 is a review of concepts on lesson design that is
applicable for all LDMs.
ACTIVITY 1.
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As you go through the
document, write down your answers to the following questions in your Study Notebook:
1. What is Lesson Designing or Lesson Planning?
2. Why is lesson designing important?
3. What are the three elements or components of a well-designed lesson?
22 Module 3A: Designing Instruction in the Different Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs)
ACTIVITY 2.
The second component of a well-designed lesson asks teachers to select and sequence
teaching and learning activities that would help learners meet the learning objectives. These
learning tasks can be presented (1) before the lesson, (2) during the lesson proper, and (3)
after the lesson.
Refer to the list of learning tasks below, and identify which section of the lesson these
learning activities can be presented by placing each task under the appropriate column.
1. Wrap up activities
2. Review previous lesson
3. Clarify concepts from previous lesson
4. State lesson objectives as guide for learners
5. Provide learners with feedback
6. Present connection between old and new lesson and establish purpose for new
lesson
7. Emphasize key information and concepts discussed
8. Assess whether lesson has been mastered
9. Check for learners’ understanding
10. Explain, model, demonstrate, and illustrate the concepts, ideas, skills, or processes
that students will eventually internalize
11. Help learners understand and master new information
12. Ask learners to recall key activities and concepts discussed
13. Reinforce what teacher has taught
14. Transfer ideas and concepts to new situations
15. Present warm-up activities to establish interest in new lesson
16. Check learner’s prior knowledge about the new lesson
Lesson design does not end after implementing the lesson. After the delivery of the lesson,
teachers should take time to reflect on what worked well and why, and what could have been
done differently. Identifying successful and less successful activities and strategies would
make it easier to adjust and revise the lesson plan as needed.
In your Study Notebook, copy the components of the Daily Lesson Log (DLL) or Detailed
Lesson Plan (DLP) listed below, then highlight which part/s is/are accomplished after the
lesson is delivered.
I. Objectives
II. Content
III. Learning Materials and Resources
IV. Procedures
V. Remarks
VI. Reflection
The learning tasks listed in Activity 2 all form part of the Lesson Procedures of the DLL and
DLP. To find out the instructional principles behind these learning tasks, you may refer to the
article Principles of Instruction by Barak Rosenshine (https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/
periodicals/Rosenshine.pdf).
ACTIVITY 4.
Coaches should emphasize the need for careful lesson planning for
DL. This is because of limited opportunities to get real-time feedback
from learners in DL, unlike the opportunities for the same in F2F
learning. Teachers also need to be reminded to anticipate challenges
that may be faced by the learners and/or household partners, and
provide remote support as needed.
Read the handout Designing Lessons in DL. In your Study Notebook, recreate and accomplish
the following table. Then choose one lesson from a Self Learning Module (SLM) for students
that you have on hand. Imagine that you will deliver this lesson to your learners through
24 Module 3A: Designing Instruction in the Different Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs)
DL. In the second column, identify which of these tasks are already present in the SLM. In
the third column, identify which has to be presented via technology-mediated resources,
supplementary learning materials, or other means.
Additional Remarks:
(ex. can be done via voice
calls, can be facilitated
by a household partner,
Check if already can be done via a learning
Part of Lesson / Learning Tasks present in the activity sheet, can be
SLM presented via an internet-
based resource, can
be facilitated during a
synchronous learning
session, etc.)
Lesson Proper
1. Wrap up activities
2. Emphasize key information and concepts
discussed
3. Ask learners to recall key activities and
concepts discussed
4. Reinforce what teacher has taught
5. Assess whether lesson has been mastered
6. Transfer ideas and concepts to new
situations
1. For learning tasks not found in the SLM you examined, what materials or resources
can you create or curate to supplement the SLM?
2. What kind of additional support can you give: a) the learner, and/or b) the household
partner so that they are guided throughout the lesson?
3. How can the teacher gather feedback on the different learning tasks, in order to refine
or modify current and future lessons?
Be ready to share your answers for Activity 4 when you meet with your LAC group after
completing this module.
• You can check the MELCs for topics that may be integrated into other learning areas.
• You can team up to integrate lessons across learning areas. Integration of content
across learning areas maximizes time and helps learners make connections for better
understanding.
26 Module 3A: Designing Instruction in the Different Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs)
• You can use content topics as themes, motivation, springboards, or initial topics for
lessons across subjects. You can also try merging selected learning area performance
tasks and assessments and create separate rubrics for scoring per learning area. This
can make it easier for you to check student work, and saves time for you and the
learners.
Can you think of other ways of designing and implementing lessons that can enhance student
learning and maximize teacher preparation time? Don’t forget to check back with your Coach
and share them with your peers.
ACTIVITY 5.
In the policy, you will find out about the two types of assessment: formative and summative.
Take note of the similarities and differences between the two. Write your answers in a Venn
diagram in your Study Notebook. Follow the example below.
Formative Summative
Assessment Assessment
After completing the Venn diagram, look at Lesson 2, Activity 5 Answer Key to see the other
similarities and differences between the two types of assessments.
ACTIVITY 6.
There are various methods of assessment. Read Table 2 of DO 8, s2015 on Policy Guidelines
on Classroom Assessment to see examples such as games, quizzes, and interviews. These
methods that are commonly used in the classroom may be modified to be suitable for DL.
Which assessment methods can you adapt in DL considering the content area that you are
teaching? In your study notebook, recreate the following table and list five methods that you
would like to try. For each one, write how you plan to use it in DL.
Coaches should let the teachers know that they may develop/use
assessment methods that are not included on Table 2 of DO 8, s2015.
It should be emphasized that there are many ways to assess learning,
and this opportunity for flexibility in assessment is maximized in DL.

ACTIVITY 7.
Sample learning outputs obtained from different assessment methods may be collected to
build a learner’s portfolio. Read Guidelines on the Preparation of Portfolio and e-Portfolio to
find out how to construct and use it.
After reading the references, answer the following quiz to check your understanding about
using a portfolio to assess the learner.
6. The learners may submit, store, and manage their portfolio via
file sharing programs or they may submit the actual softcopies of
their work saved on a CD/DVD/USB flash drive.
Check out the Lesson 2, Activity 7 Answer Key to see how well you did.
Learners are different and have different abilities. For some topics, you can give students
some options or alternatives on how they will be assessed. Just make sure that these would
show how much they have learned.
Good job! You are done with Lesson 2. You may now proceed to Lesson 3.

ACTIVITY 1.
Answer the simple check-up quiz below. Read and match the descriptions in column A with
the terms in column B. Write your answers in your Study Notebook.
Column A Column B
The learning tasks may be as detailed like those in the SLMs as shown in the Sample Weekly
Home Learning Plan for Blended Distance Learning or may just refer learners to the lesson
number and/or activity number in the SLM as shown in the Sample Weekly Home Learning
Plan for Modular Distance Learning and for Online Distance Learning.
The WHLP also trains learners to take responsibility for their own learning as they follow
the prescribed schedule in the plan. Remember also that part of guiding learners is to give
enhancement or remediation activities when needed and when possible.
ACTIVITY 2.
Now, based on what you have read, create a WHLP for your class. Take note of the following
when creating your WHLP:
• For grade levels where learning areas are taught by different teachers, coordinate,
plan, and discuss the WHLP with the learning area teachers.
• Adjustments should be made on the timeframe for accomplishing the learning tasks if
there are any suspensions of classes due to calamities (DepEd, 2020).
32 Module 3A: Designing Instruction in the Different Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs)
• Enjoyable learning activities scheduled on Saturdays such as designing portfolios,
should also be reflected in the WHLP.
• Be guided by the recommended screen time for learners set by the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) which are as
follows:
»» Key Stage 1 (K to 3) – at most one hour daily for Kindergarten and one hour to 1.5
hours for Grades 1 to 3
»» Key Stage 2 (Grades 4 to 6) – up to two hours
»» Key Stage 3 (Grade 7 to 10) – up to two hours for Grades 7 and 8 and up to four
hours (two in the morning and the other two in the afternoon) for Grades 9 and 10
»» Key Stage 4 (Grades 11 to 12) – at most four hours (2 hours in the morning and
the other 2 hours in the afternoon)

Check the Lesson 3, Activity 3 Answer Key to find out how well you did.
Remember also that in monitoring the progress of your learners, it is important to get in touch
with the household partner who provides assistance as needed while the learner is doing the
learning tasks at home.
ACTIVITY 4.
Assume that after going through the outputs submitted by your learners, one of them has
problems completing the learning tasks for the first two weeks. Think of a possible difficulty
the learner may have encountered in accomplishing the learning tasks. Apply what you
have learned about ILMPs in Activity 3 and create an ILMP for that particular learner who
lags behind. Read and use the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan Template. Consider the
components of the ILMP that were described in Activity 3.
Share the ILMP that you made for that specific learner during your next LAC Session.
34 Module 3A: Designing Instruction in the Different Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs)
Before leaving this Module, take note of the following key messages:
• There are no perfect lessons, but with careful planning, reflection, and continuous
adaptation before, during, and after lesson delivery, you will be able to design
lessons with your best efforts, and maximize learning in this new context.
• It is important for teachers to keep track of how the students are doing, get feedback
from the learners (learners’ self-assessment), and from the learning facilitators or
household partners, in order to continuously improve lessons and provide support for
learners as they learn.
• One way of getting feedback from learners is by communicating regularly with them
and their families. As teachers, you need to make your presence felt, and send the
message to the learners that they are not alone in this situation. This will greatly help
them stay motivated.
• As teachers, you are part of a larger community of learners, and would need support
from your Coaches, School Heads, and fellow teachers as you adapt to the new
normal.
Here are some general coaching strategies you can also try.
• Discuss activities that teachers did that worked and ask them how else they can
improve those.
• Ask teachers to share what opportunities made them proud of their work. You can
also ask them what areas of teaching they can still improve on and how they can work
on these.
• Have conversations to understand how they feel they are doing personally and
professionally.
• Encourage teachers to keep simple notes/pictures/journals to document their
progress.
Congratulations for completing Module 3A! You are now ready for Module 3B.
