Distance Learning, Blended Learning and Homeschooling.

3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your
learning in this course?

intended for school and division leaders. LDM2, is
intended for the teachers and focused on the
instructional implications of using these alternative
LDMs. And you can also adapt the coping and creative

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:
_ To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning
among students
_ To nurture successful teachers
_ To enable teachers to support each other to continuously
improve their content and pedagogical knowledge, practice,
skills, and attitudes
_ To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School
Heads, teachers, and the community as a whole

1. To improve the teaching-learning process to improve

learning among students
2. To enable teachers to support each other to continuously
improve their content and pedagogical knowledge,
practice, skills, and attitudes
3. To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School
Heads, teachers, and the community as a whole
4. To nurture successful teachers

2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List
down and elaborate.
1. Verify if the expected learning outcomes are reached, identify
disadvantaged groups, diagnose gaps and strengths.
2. Instruments used are usually complex, in order to be able to
measure a set of skills and abilities.
3. Distance and lack of communication between technical bodies
that administer assessments and decision makers.
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.

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.
2. During this meeting, decide on your groupings and designate one LAC Facilitator
and one LAC Leader per LAC.
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.
