MODULE 1: COURSE ORIENTATION

ACTIVITY 1. LESSON 1: COURSE OVERVIEW

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 Basic Education Learning
Continuity Plan (LCP) to put into motion the marching orders of the
Secretary: ensure that learning continues while guaranteeing the
health, safety, and well-being of all learners, teachers, and other
DepEd employees.

2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality
instruction in the “new normal”?
⮚ This course will help us to deliver the quality of education to our learners in
the “New Normal” situation by adopting different alternative modes of
delivering learning such as Distance Learning, Blended Learning and
Homeschooling.

3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your
learning in this course?
⮚ The two support mechanisms that I will used to learn more about
this course are the LDM 1 and LDM2. The first stream (LDM 1) is
focused on the implementation and management of the alternative
learning delivery system at all levels of the education system, and
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 mechanism.

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 the questions in Activities 1 and 2.

We discuss our answers virtually by sharing our answers to other

participants. We learned a lot from the collaborative discussion that we had.

Well done! You have completed Lesson 1. You may now proceed to Lesson 2.
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.
