2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the “new normal”?
This course is a task-oriented one and thus, combines guided study using self-learning modules and
co-learning and/or collaboration. Through these guided practices, there will be an assurance of quality
instruction in the face of new normal in education. Improved readiness and informed decision-making in
appropriate learning modality, and improved pedagogical content, knowledge, and assessment are the
ingredients to complete a meal of new normal.
3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this course?
The two support mechanisms which help learning this course are as follows:
design and implementation principles and guidelines
internal and external learning service providers

LESSON 2: ORGANIZING YOUR LEARNING ACTION CELL (LAC)
ACTIVITY 1
1. Rank the following objectives from easiest to the most difficult to achieve:
3 To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students
1 To nurture successful teachers
2 To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and pedagogical
knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
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.
Listed below are the challenges that may happen in the event of LAC implementation.
Poor Internet Connection - Since LAC will be held online, there must be a stable Internet
connection on your place.
Inappropriate/ Misleading Content - The session proper must have a comprehensive and
relevant content/ theme that would be beneficial to teachers.
Inadequate Support from the Members - Any event will not be successful if members of the
group are non-participative and are not well-versed on what’s going on.

ACTIVITY 2
1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
Generally speaking, MELCS development is a long-term response to the call in developing resilient
education systems, most especially in these trying times or emergencies.
Specifically, this serves as one of the guides for teachers as they address the instructional need of
learners while ensuring that curriculum standards are maintained and achieved.
2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning competencies?
The review focused on articulation within and across learning areas and grade levels, which led to
the identification of gaps, issues, and concerns. Moreover, areas for improvement that would enhance
the learning engagement, experience, and outcomes were identified and consequent solutions were
recommended. These procedures provided an ease in the identification of essential learning
competencies.
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable learning competencies?
Essential learning competencies were defined as what the students need in the teaching-learning
process to build skills to equip learners for subsequent grade levels and consequently, for lifelong
learning. Desirable learning competencies, on the other hand, are what may enhance education but
may not be necessary in building foundational skills.
4. How were the most essential learning competencies identified? What were the decisions made in order
to trim down the number of the essential learning competencies further?
The MELCS are identified using its endurance as the primary determining factor. Necessary in this
process is the decision whether a learning competency is to be retained, merged, dropped, or rephrased.
retained - satisfies the endurance and contributes to lifelong learning
merged - same objective
dropped - too specific or can be introduced in an earlier quarter or grade level or moved to a later
quarter or grade level, recurring, subsumed in another learning competency
rephrased - more concise learning competency
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction?
The contextualization of MELCS can accommodate the varying contexts of learners, teachers,
learning environment and support structures considering both the content and performance standards.
Through MELCS, the students can learn the concepts and skills through meaningful activities and
scenarios, thus producing lifelong learning.
ACTIVITY 3

ACTIVITY 4
In your LAC Session, discuss and share your answers to Activities 1-3 in this lesson. Discuss any questions
about the MELCs that need clarification as well. Share your thoughts and let your co-teachers articulate
their insights regarding your questions. Jot down all the insights shared in the discussion, including your
own.
Based from my discussion with Sir Christian Paul D. Naive, we didn’t have any clarifications
regarding the identification and development of Most Essential Learning Competencies since the
schedule or allotted time frame on each LC was discussed and presented in Budget of Work (BOW). We
found out that MELCS development is a good response in this pandemic period. Time and effort of the
teaching staff will be maximized as well.

LESSON 2: DESIGNING LESSONS AND ASSESSMENTS IN THE DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As you go through the Document:
1. What is Lesson Designing or Lesson Planning?
Lesson designing or lesson planning is one of the fundamental tools of teachers. They can organize
and plan the lesson properly based on their desired targets and teaching approaches as a whole. Lesson
planning includes the use of varied instructional and formative assessment strategies, including the use
of information and communication technologies (ICTs).

VI. Reflection
Answer the following questions.
1. For learning tasks not found in the SLM you examined, what materials or resources can you create or
curate to supplement the SLM?
Better to navigate or browse both DepEd - and non-DepEd-sanctioned learning resources in order
to supplement those learning tasks which are not found in the self-learning modules.
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?
To be able to guide the learner and/or the household member throughout the lesson, the teacher
may prepare activity sheets and slide deck presentation (printable) or handout for a more precise
understanding of the topic. Teacher may also teach them through a video presentation.
3. How can the teacher gather feedback on the different learning tasks, in order to refine or modify
current and future lessons?
Through phone call, chat message on FB messenger, and SMS, the teacher can gather feedback on
the different learning tasks. It is really necessary to monitor student’s progress.
ACTIVITY 5
Take note of the similarities and differences between the two.

2. Do you have the complete resources for the Distance LDM needed in class? If the LRs are not complete
or not available, what steps will you take to make these available? What are your options to substitute
these missing LRs?
Yes, we have complete resources for the distance learning modality; however, we’re still waiting for
copies of the learning modules from our region. But then, we’re notified that these will be available
soon.
3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR Portals? From whom
can you get this support?
10
A stable Internet connection must be present in order to use LRMDS portal and DepEd Commons
since these two are both online-based platforms. Once you’re already registered in these portals, the
technical working group in your school may assist you.
4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level and characteristics of
learners? Are there learners who might be disadvantaged by the materials (based on reading ability, level
of learning independence, level of household support, distance)? What adjustments will you make in
terms of LRs?
As I evaluated the learning materials in both DepEd-sanctioned LR portals, I found out that these
are appropriate to learners’ level and characteristics. But, teachers must also use other learning
resources since some of the subject areas do not have enough supporting reading materials.
ACTIVITY 2
In your LAC Session, share and discuss your answers from the previous activity. What support can you
provide to your colleagues and what support can you get from them in terms of LRs? Take note of the
insights that you can gather from your colleagues.
In this session, I learned how to become a member officially in the LRMDS Portal and access the site
of DepEd Commons. Since I have already this know-how, I can easily teach my co-worker to do the
same. Sir Christian and I concluded that teachers must be resourceful enough in order to navigate more
learning materials which can be applied in the teaching-learning process. We also suggest having a
capacity building activity for teachers regarding this matter.
2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your learners? How will you
overcome these challenges?
Challenges Solutions
Slow Internet connection especially if you’re too Additional routers; look for a more stable Internet
many accessing the Net service provider
Technical difficulty in the portal itself Open a designed DepEd Commons in Facebook
Limited learning resources Browse non-DepEd-sanctioned portals
3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From whom can you get
this support?
There must be a technical working group in a school.
ACTIVITY 2
Jot down the insights and helpful information regarding the use of the LR portals
Generally, there must have a stable source of Internet to be able to access the LR Portals without
any hassle. These LR Portals are DepEd-sanctioned namely the DepEd Commons and the Learning
Resources Management and Development System (LRMDS). One must be qualified in order to access
11
them, mainly a professional teacher with DepEd e-mail. You are then free to browse the different LRs
available. There are downloadable learning materials in the portals.
2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or “Cannot Be
Determined”? What decision will you make on the LR material? Why?
Frankly saying, yes, there were. Some parts of the learning material can be retained, especially the
latter part by which activities are present; others can be modified or altered since lessons should be
student-centered. Appropriate time frame and references must also be identified.
2. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be assessed? Specify
which aspect/s.
I guess everything was already covered by the LR Rapid Assessment Tool. No other aspects are
needed to be assessed.
3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your
learners?
LR Rapid Assessment Tool is really a big help in choosing the right and appropriate LR for your
lesson and learners since the teacher will be able to assess the learning material based on the
requirements set on it. The level of learner’s capability and diversity was given emphasis.
ACTIVITY 2
Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find online. Take note of the portals in your Study
Notebook. Download at least one LR from each portal. Assess the materials using the same tool and
answer the following questions
1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a non-DepEd Portal compare with the LR
from the DepEd Portal?
The non-DepEd LR portal I found online is Quexbook, an application designed to provide students
helpful information on the subject. The information and the data are provided by the PERCDC Learnhub.
This app has the same purpose with the LR form the DepEd portal. Both LR can be downloaded.
However, the Quexbook, itself, on a particular subject area can be fully downloaded and studied offline.
2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials — both from DepEd
and Non-DepEd portals — still need?
I noticed that there are some information which came on the ideas of others; they were sourced
and cited from related and reliable books and sites and yet, there’s no reference section in the
Quexbook LR. There’s lack of information, e.g. graphics, tables, scenarios, that may support the data
contained and make these more helpful to the students.
3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your
learners?
12
It is good that we can still use and find other LR portals online aside from LRMDS and DepEd
Commons. We may address some misconceptions from one source to another learning material. We can
easily select the best LR material that’s suitable to the diversity of our learners.
ACTIVITY 3
Choose one of the LR materials that you have developed. Assess this material using the same tool. Answer
the following questions in Your Study Notebook:
1. How does your material compare with the ones that are obtained from the online portals?
I prepared a slide deck presentation in Media and Information Literacy. This was partly with the
same format I obtained from the online portal, DepEd Commons. Objectives and lesson title are
identified. Different learning tasks are infused though I used both individual and cooperative learning
activities. References were also found on the material I made.
ACTIVITY 4
Share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activities 1, 2, and 3 in your next LAC Session. Jot down
insights and information that can be useful to you in choosing the appropriate LRs.
As we shared our answers in Activities 1, 2, and 3, we learned that LRMDS and DepEd Commons are
the only DepEd-sanctioned learning portals which are direct solutions to access online learning
materials and Open Educational Resources. There are non-DepEd-sanctioned LRs but we must know
the validity and credibility of the sources. The learning materials should address the arising needs and
capability levels of each learner.
ACTIVITY 2
Reflect on your self-assessment from Activity
1. What particular professional standards in the PPST do you need to focus on to effectively use the LDMs
in relation to the content and pedagogy of the learning area/s you are teaching?
I’ll be focusing on the Content Knowledge and Pedagogy domain. I’ll give emphasis on the
strategies for promoting literacy and numeracy because as I have observed, there are still struggling
students in these areas. I will also deal with the positive use of ICT and communication strategies in
teaching my subjects.

ACTIVITY 2
Study the Reading on Portfolios from the Glossary of Education Reform. Based on your reading, reflect on
the following questions and jot down your answers
1. How will your Portfolio help you in tracking the progress of your teaching practice in your School’s LDM?
Portfolio can be a big help to me since I can monitor and evaluate learning progress over time. It
can aid me in deciding whether I retain, change, or make modifications on the teaching approaches I
implemented in our schools’ LDM. I can evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the teaching-
learning strategies.
2. What evidence from the previous modules will help capture the progress of your teaching practice?
Portfolio assessment will help in capturing the progress of my teaching practice.
ACTIVITY 3
14
Familiarize yourself with the List of Suggested Evidence Form. Is the list of evidence enough to capture the
progress of your teaching practice? What other evidence can you think of that is relevant to the LDM
adopted by your School?
The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be added as evidence in
capturing the progress of teaching practices.
ACTIVITY 5

ACTIVITY 2
Discuss and share your thoughts on the Rubric in your LAC Session. Present your steps to make your
outputs and Portfolio responsive to the evaluation criteria and indicators. Take note of your colleagues’
other insights as well.
From my previous answer and my colleague’s response as well, we will organize our outputs based
on the categories namely sources of learning, learning demonstration and evidences, mastered
knowledge and skills, and learning reflections. We will gear up our Portfolios with artifacts that are
relevant and satisfying.
