1QUESTION NUMBER 1 QUESTION NUMBER 1.

From your own understanding, what is

2LAC? And what is LAC session? How is it different from your usual administrative and/or
3faculty meetings?
4
5Response: In my own understanding LAC is a program where people talk with one another kung
6may mga problema sila sa subject na tinuturo nila or may mga problema sila sa mga bata. Ang
7LAC session naman is ito ito ung nangyayari every 16th of every month kung saan nagkakaroon
8kami ng workshop about sa topic na naka-a lot don. Mayroon pa nga kaming mga ginagawa don
9na outputs na ipinapagawa ng speaker namin. Pero di kami nakakapag-LAC lagi kasi andaming
10paper works na ginagawa. Sa faculty meetings, ang ginagawa namin don tintanong lang naman
11kami qg ano ang mga problema namin. Anong kailangan namin ganun. Tapos ina-announce
12yung mga importanteng details galling sa division office. Sa LAC session kasi may output
13kaming ginagawa, tulad ng sabi ko kanina. Kaming mga teachers ay may tasks na magparticipate
14ng maayos sa session. At may sinusunod kaming program. (Translated Answer: In my own
15understanding LAC is a program where people talk to one another if they have problems with
16the subject they are teaching or they have problems with children. The LAC session is this one
17that happens every 16th of every month where we have a workshop on the topic allotted. We
18even have the outputs that our speaker produces. But we can't always LAC because many paper
19works are done. At faculty meetings, we do not just ask ourselves what our problems are. What
20we need. The important details are then announced at the division office. LAC session because
21we have output, as I said earlier. We teachers have the task of successfully organizing the
22session. And we have a program to follow.)
23
24QUESTION NUMBER 2 QUESTION NUMBER 2. How do you select the topics in your
25school for your LAC sessions? What are your practices in conducting needs assessments?
26
27Response: Ay awan sa ti kasta ditoy school mi. hehe. Iti malagip ko nga aaramidin da ket
28damagen da kami lng no anya problema ti klase mi or anya ti kailangan mi kasjay met lng. Hehe.
29Tapos magugulat na lang kami nay un na ang ginagawan nila ng solution duting LAC session
30namin. Ah okay. Yun nga sir, nagtatanong ang mga nakain-charge sa LAC namin for the month
31kasi dito samin ang ginagawa is departmentalized ang pago-organize ng LAC. Kung sino ang
32nakatuka para sa LAC sa month na to sila ang working committee ng Lac session namin.
33(Translated Answer: I don’t think that there is such in our school. All I can say is they ask us
34what our class is or what we need, just in case. Then we were just surprised that they were doing
35our solution during our LAC session. Ah okay. So sir, those who are in-charge of our LAC
36session for the month is asking what we need or problem because what we are doing is
37departmentalized facilitation of LAC. If your department has been designated for the LAC this
38month your department will be the working committee of the Lac session.)
39
40QUESTION NUMBER 3 How do you conduct planning activities that lead to the
41identification of your professional development needs prior to the conduct of your LAC
42sessions? How are you using various data-based documents (e.g., self-assessment tools,
43classroom observation results, critical reflections, surveys, research-based teacher
44development needs, and students’ assessment results) to guide your selection of teacher
45development needs?
46
47Response: Hahaha. Nasabi ko na din kanina to sir. Ngem ulitik lattan ah niya sir. Hehe.
48Departmentalized ang pagkakaroon namin ng LAC session sir. Kumbaga sa buwan na to sinong
49nakatuka ditto sila ang gagawa ng lahat. Program, resource speaker, topics na idi-dicussed at
50higit sa lahat yung mga dapat gamitin sa session. Okay po ba sir? Yan yung mga basis kadalasan
51ng mga organizers kung ano magiging topic namin bukod sa tinatanong kami ng department
52head namin kung may mga problema kami sa klase or kung paano ituro tong lesson. Tulad na
53lang COT namin. Kung saan kami mababa doon don nila kami tinutulungan at ino-open nila ito
54sa LAC session kasi di lang naman kami ang mag problema na department sa bagay na iyon
55kundi pati na mga ibang department. (Translated Answer: I answered you earlier about this sir
56but I will repeat my answer again. Our LAC session sir is departmentalized. It's a month since
57anyone woke up here and they will do everything. Programs, resource speakers, topics to be
58considered and most of all should be used in the session. Is that okay sir? Those are the basics
59most often organizers have about our topic other than our department head asking us if we have
60class problems or how to teach a lesson. It's just like we COT. Where we are down there they
61help us and they open it in LAC session because not only do we have a problem department in
62that but also other departments.)
63
64QUESTION NUMBER 4. How do you form your LACs in school? What is the seating
65arrangement of your LACs during LAC sessions?
66
67
68Response: By department kami na humaharap lagi sa speaker. Nasa isang table ang isang
69department at ganun din sa iba. Kapag pupunta na kami sa hall tulad ng sabi ko kanina by
70department kami. Bawat subject area mayroon na silang naka-assigned na table kung saan sila
71pupuwesto para di kami kung san saan umuupo. Kasama namin ang Head namin or sometimes
72nakaupo sila sa harap. Lalo na kung EPS ang magiging speaker namin. (Translated Answer:
73We always face the speaker by department. One department is sitted in one table and so on
74together with our department head. Each subject area has a designated table where they can sit.
75We're with our Head or sometimes they are sitting in the front. Especially if EPS is our speaker.)
76
77QUESTION NUMBER 5. QUESTION NUMBER 5. How often do you conduct LAC
78sessions? How long do they meet? How do you meet or communicate (i.e., face to face or
79virtual)?
80
81Response: Once a month lang naman. Mahaba na yung 5 hours. Mga 1:00 in the afternoon kami
82nagi-start then magi-end kami ng 5 or past 5 ganun. Siyempre may mga announcement pa sila
83after ng session. Nagtitipon tipon kami sa hall tapos yun na meeting na namin. Harapan kami
84pagdating sa session dahil may mga ikaklaro kami after kasi ng session. Translated Answer:
85Just once a month. It's 5 hours. About 1:00 in the afternoon we start then we end 5 or past 5 like
86that. Of course they still have announcements after the session. We meet in the hall after our
87meeting. We have to come to the session because we have something to clear after the session.)
88
89QUESTION NUMBER 6. How do you select the resource persons for your LAC sessions?
90How do you obtain material resources for the LAC sessions (e.g., supplies, worksheets,
91videos, equipment, budget, food, and venues)?
92
 93
94Response: Depende sa topic. Kung may expert sa topic na un sa aming school idi siya ang
95magiging speaker. Pero kung walang expert sa field na un kumukuha kami ng speaker sa ibang
96school. Sa supplies, galing sa MOOE. Sa pagkain naman, nagbabayad kami ng 20 pesos para sa
97meryenda namin. Sa venue don kami sa hall lagi. (Translated Answer: Depending on the topic.
98If there is an expert on the topic that is not at our school then he or she will be the speaker. But
99if there is no expert in the field we can take a speaker to another school. With supplies, coming
100from the MOOE. At meal, we pay 20 pesos for our snacks. At the venue we always conduct our
101LAC in the hall.
102
103QUESTION NUMBER 7. How well do teachers aware of their roles during LAC sessions?
104Can you describe the coordination among your LAC members, leaders, facilitators, and
105resource persons throughout the LAC process?
106
107Response: Participative kami dahil alam namin na sa bawat session may ginagawa kaming mga
108activities para i-present sa harap. Kaya kailangan naming making at maging attentive sa sinasabi
109ng speaker samin. They are always ready parang boy scout. Kasi kapag sila ang naka-designate
110sa LAC session nagkakaroon sila ng meeting para planuhin lahat lahat para maging maayos ang
111takbo ng LAC session. (Translated Answer: We are participative because we know that in each
112session we have activities to present in front. So we have to make and be attentive to what the
113speaker says. They are always ready like boy scouts. Because when they are designing the LAC
114session they have a meeting to plan everything to make the LAC session run smoothly.)
115
116QUESTION NUMBER 8 QUESTION NUMBER 8. What are your established group
117norms for LAC sessions? How conducive is the learning environment for your LACs? How
118teachers in your school feel safe whenever they engage to LAC activities? How do teachers
119in your school respect one another during LAC activities?
120
121Response: Norms, Ah okay. Lagi naming pina-follow kung ano yung nasa program like kung
122ala-una ang start ng session, ala-una talaga, tapos yung mga preliminary activities like prayer
123singing of the National Anthem ganun at higit sa lahat open furom. Hindi yun nawawala may
124mga nag-aaway kasi andami nilang ideas pero at the end of the day naman magkakasundo kami
125Hehe. Minsan nakakatakot kasi may mga bangayan pero masaya dahil marami din kaming
126natututunan dahil may mga new ideas kaming natututunan. Sometimes nagkakapikunan or
127nagpapakiramdaman kami kasi may mga aktibista kaming mga co-teachers. I mean kapag may
128nag recite at hindi nila nagustuhan. Sasalungatin nila. Pero tulad ng sabi ko kanina. Marami
129kaming natutunan pag nangyayari ang LAC session kasi dito lumalabas ang mga ibat ibang ideas
130kung paano i-solve yung problema namin sa strategies kung paano ituro yung subject nay un.
131Hallah, parang nasagot ko na to kanina hehe. Okay sige. Aminin ko minsan talaga nakakairita
132kasi may mga sagutan na nangyayari. Lagi yan every LAC session pero ayos lang naman kasi
133after ng session wala naman nag-aaway kasi mayroon naman kani professional ethics ei. Kung sa
134session lang nangyari don lang sasession yun kapag nagkasalubong kami sa klase parang walang
135nangyari.
136(Translated Answer: Norms, Ah okay. We always follow what the program is like from the start
137of the session, first of all, then the preliminary activities like prayer singing of the National
138Anthem and most of all open forum. It's not like there are some who argue over their ideas but at
139the end of the day we will agree. Sometimes it's scary because there are arguments that oppose
140each other’s ideas but it's fun because we also learn a lot because we have new ideas.
141Sometimes we have lunch or we feel like we have co-teachers. I mean when someone recites and
142they don't like it. They will oppose it. But as I said before. We learned a lot when the LAC
143session was happening because it brought out different ideas on how to solve our problem with
144strategies on how to teach the subject. Hallah, I feel like I've answered this before. Okay then. I
145admit sometimes it's really frustrating because there are answers that happen. It's always every
146LAC session but it's okay because after the session there is no conflict because they have
147professional ethics. If the session just happened then it wasn't just a session when we met in
148class as if nothing had happened.)
149
150QUESTION NUMBER 9. What sources are you usually using during the
151operationalization of your LACs?
152
153
154Response: MOOE ang ginagamit namin pagdating sa mga materials. Pagdating sa meryenda at
155gamit para sa session galling a Canteen fund at personal expenses namin kasi nagbabayad kami
156ng 20 pesos. (Translated Answer: We use MOOE when it comes to materials. When it comes to
157snacks and supplies for the session it is shouldered by Canteen fund and our personal expenses
158we pay 20 pesos.)
159
160QUESTION NUMBER 10. How do you prepare LAC plans? Who writes the LAC Plan?
161How are these plans being integrated or linked in your School Improvement Plan (SIP) or
162the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP)?
163
164Response: Ang ginagawa kasi namin para sa LAC plan kung sino ang naka-in-charge sila ang
165magde-designate kung sino ang gagawa ng LAC plan. Ah kadalasan ang gumagawa ng LAC
166plan pala is ang Master Teacher namin per department after magawa non ipapa-approve nila un
167sa Principal. Dito kasi sa AIP at SIP naka-based si LAC plan kung ano ang kailangan ng mga
168teachers para ma-improved iya-align nila iyun sa AIP at SIP kung saan nakalagay yung need nay
169un ng mga teachers. (Translated Answer: What we do for the LAC plan is who is in charge they
170will designate who will make the LAC plan. Ah usually the one who is in-charge in making the
171LAC plan is our Master Teacher per department after they do not approve the Principal. This is
172because the SIP plan is based on AIP and SIP on what teachers need to improve so they can
173align it with AIP and SIP where the needs of teachers are unmatched.)
174
175QUESTION NUMBER 11. Usually, what are the forms of your LAC activities?
176
177Response: Seminar type kami pagdating sa LAC session don kami lagi sa Hall nagsi-seminar
178pag dating ng LAC session. Para kaming nasa classroom din lang kasi kami ang student tapos
179ung mga heads namin ang mga teachers. (Translated Answer: When it comes to LAC sessions
180we always do a seminar type session and we are always holding LAC sessions in the hall of
181school. We were just in the classroom because we were students and our heads were the
182teachers.)
183
184QUESTION NUMBER 12. In what ways do teachers in your school collaborate during
185LAC sessions?
186
187Response: Nagtutulungan kami kapag may ipinagawa ang speaker namin nagse-select kami ng
188representative para ipresent yung gawa namin. Tapos siyempre kapag may aktibista kailangan
189naming sumagot kapag sila ang nagtanong or tutulungan namin ung representative namin na
190sumagot. (Translated Answer: We work together when a speaker is assigned. We select a
191representative to represent our work. Then of course when there is an activist we need to
192respond when they ask or we will help our representative answer.)
193
194QUESTION NUMBER 13. Is there an individual or group action plan for the
195implementation of agreed activities as an outcome of your LAC session that would be
196implemented or applied in the classroom? How do the teachers in your school report the
197implementation of agreed activities in the classroom? How do the LAC facilitators and
198LAC leaders in your school monitor and evaluate the implementation of agreed activities in
199the classroom?
200Response: Wala naman, basta kung saan nila dapat makita ang mga napag usapan namin na
201dapat gawin don dapat namin magawa yung mga pinag-usapan namin sa LAC session. Ang
202sinasabi naman ng Head namin kailangan nilang makita yun kapag in-observe kami sa klase.
203Pero before yun nagsa-submit kami ng lesson plan para evaluate nila yung performance namin at
204nakalagay don yung mga napag usapan namin sa LAC na kailangang i-apply sa pagtuturo namin
205sa klase. Sa COT, dahil every quarter period may classroom observation kami. Kailangang
206nakalagay don yung mga napag-usapan namin nong LAC session na dapat naming i-apply.
207(Translated Answer: Nothing, they just want to see and they want us to apply what we have
208agreed upon during the LAC session. What our Head is saying is that they need to see that when
209they observe us in class. But before that we submitted a lesson plan so they could evaluate our
210performance and put in place those that we discussed at LAC that needed to be applied in our
211classroom teaching. At COT, because every quarter period we have classroom observation. We
212just need to put in the things we discussed during the LAC session that we should apply.)
