Learning Delivery Modalities Course for Teachers

LDM1 – GETTING STARTED

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 Learning Delivery Modalities (LDM) Course 2 is intended for teachers and is focused
on the instructional implications of using these alternative LDMs. It is a task-oriented course
that combines guided study using self-learning modules and co-learning and collaboration
through the Learning Action Cell (LAC).

2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the “new
normal”?

Since the DepEd formulated the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan to ensure that
learning continues while guaranteeing the wellbeing of all learners and teachers the DepEd
adopt alternative modes of delivering learning to reach all learners regardless of who and where
they are. With the three learning delivery modalities (LDMs) that schools may implement:
Distance Learning, Blended Learning, and Homeschooling there will be no more reason that we
cannot reach out to our students and provide the quality of education they need.

In addition, LDM2 provides opportunities for the teachers to learn and understand the
technicalities of the modalities, availability of resources and learning materials to be used in
delivering quality instruction in the new normal in education. This course will equip teachers with
knowledge and skills that would be vital for the new normal in education.

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

The self-learning modules and the co-learning and collaboration through LAC are the
two support mechanisms that will help me in learning this course. With the proper guidance
and support from our School Head, from my Group Head, our Lac Leader and Lac Facilitator,
I will be able to learn all the things I need to learn 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?

Use the table below to guide your reflection.

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

Other Reflection Notes:

LESSON 2: ORGANIZING YOUR LEARNING ACTION CELL (LAC)

ACTIVITY 1.

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 3_ To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students

Rank 1_ To nurture successful teachers
Rank 4_ To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and
pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
Rank 2_ 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.
a. To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students because I
believe that the quality of learning my students gain will depend on the quality of the teaching-learning
process they experience.

b. To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School Heads, teachers, and the
community as a whole because for me, professional collaborative spirit will fuel their desires to continue
serving our learners with quality instruction.

c. To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and
pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes because working as a team will yield better
outputs than working individually.

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.
