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:

__2__ To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students

__4__ To nurture successful teachers
__1__ 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

2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate.
1. Internet Connection – Unstable connection that adds burden that may affect the performance and the momentum in participating the session.
 2. Proper Schedule of LAC - It will be best if the schedule for the session do not conflict with the other tasks and schedules of the teachers. Often
times, teachers are attending so much task resulting to give less focus to the LAC session.

3. Overload – too much to do that causes stress which eventually leads to poor performance and diminished productivity.

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.

See LDM Module 1 – page 5
