The assembly was called to engage in the conduct of a series of sessions regarding the learning delivery
modality that would be chosen for the school to perform the teaching-learning process in the period of the
“new normal”.
The body tackled about the Course Orientation pertaining to Learning Delivery Modality for
Teachers which was emphasized with its important aim which is to support teachers in the
preparation for the new learning delivery (LDM) in the school. The course was identified to have
five (5) modules such as Module 1 Course Orientation, which required no output; Module 2
MELC, which required the teacher-participants to produce an Individualized unpacking of a
MELC or Most Essential Learning Competencies; Module 3 Lesson Design and Assessment &
Learning Resources, which required a few expected outputs (learner intervention, assessment
methods, etc..); and Module 4 Personal Development and Learning Action Cell or LAC , which
required a finalized LDM individual development plan. The course was initiated and developed
by the Department of Education in cooperation with the National Academy of the Philippines
(NEAP) and the support & assistance of the Education Forum Partners.
The session was directed to take an overview of the entire course followed by the process of
organizing a LAC or learning action cell enough for four (4) hours, as estimated time period. The
teacher-participants were required to maintain a study notebook with a reference guide through a
series of written activities in each lesson embedded in the module.
The session has a targeted outputs such as the organization of a LAC, enumeration of roles &
responsibilities of the different LAC members, set of protocols & norms in the conduct of LAC
sessions, and to accomplish the LAC forms.
The assembly was adjourned with the hope to be ready for the succeeding modules.
The session started at exactly 8:00 in the morning with the teacher-participants already
present armed with the previous knowledge they were able to absorb from the orientation
conducted. Each participant has brought with him/her a copy of the MELC or Most Essential
Learning Competencies as reference for them to produce the expected output, a sample of
an unpacked MELC.
A short briefing was initiated by the LAC leader, Enrica V. Felices who also provided the
participants with a guide of Module 2. The Unpacking of MELC. The participants were, then,
divided into subject-clusters. Each cluster was comprised with the teachers handling the
same subject areas (e,g, AP, English, Science, etc,,,).Together they were able to decide on
what grade level were they going to choose in order for them to decide on what particular
competency a sample unpacked MELC has to focus. Each LAC group was required to
present their respective sample of unpacked MELC as their expected output. The session
clusters were successful in the presentation of the required output and each individual
member of the cluster was able to accomplish the series of activities in the lesson content of
the entire module.
The session was focused on designing instruction in the different learning delivery modalities
and the process of gathering the learning resources in order to deliver the lesson. The body was
still divided into subject clusters. The tasks are quite challenging to the participants as they
ventured to differentiate the learning delivery modalities as prescribed by the LCP and between
the different types of distance learning modalities. Other task to accomplish were the application
of the lesson design and assessment consideration for distance learning in light of the COVID-19
crisis; the creation of a weekly home learning plan to guide the learners as they undergo
independent study at home; and, the creation of an individual learning monitoring plan to keep
tract the progress of learners who lag behind in completing the prescribed learning tasks. The
module allotted 18 to 24 hours for the accomplishment of the expected outputs of the course.
This was just the first part of Module 3. Each of the subject cluster was provided with a module
guide.
Module 3B was the second part comprised with three lessons. This part primarily focused on the
learning resources maps for distance learning, accessing learning resources from DepEd portals,
and assessing the LR materials. Each these tasks required the body to produce the expected
output within four (4) hours. Each participant, who was also a member of a subject cluster,
needed to create his/her output for each of the tasks mentioned.
The session ended at 5:15 in the afternoon with all outputs accumulated.
The session started with a very familiar line “Learning is a continuous process.” Which was being
understood by the participants that there are a lot of things every educator can improve in line with the
job of being a teacher, especially at this point in time as everyone goes through with the pandemic. The
module is an instrument through which the teacher-participants will be able to plan for their continuous
professional development (PD) considering the new LDM that the school has adopted.
The assembly was able to carry-out their plan for a continuing professional development; discussed the
different PD initiative or programs related to the LDMs that are available, either provided by the
Department of Education or by non-DepEd Learning Service Providers (LSPs); developed a PD plan
including the Learning Action Plan; and had expressed their commitment to professional growth and
development.
The module was only comprised with two (2) lessons with estimated time allotment of two (2) hours.

MINUTES OF THE BUILDING THE TEACHING PORTFOLIO RELATED TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MODALITIES (MODULE 5)
Friday, September 18, 2020
The session was called for the intention of ensuring the continuity of the learning journey
of the teacher-participants in the effective implementation of the LDM in their
respective classes. The school head, Mrs. Iderlina B. Fernandez, together with the course
facilitator, Mrs. Enrica V. Felices, made sure that each subject cluster will be as
productive as they were to be expected, and that each participant must his/her individual
output as required and expected in this five-day LDM2 course orientation/workshop.
The participants were reminded to accomplish the series of activities contained in each of
the modules. They were to maintain their individual study notebook as their personal self-
made hand-out and notes regarding the entire LDM2 course.
The attendance of each cluster member was closely monitored and recorded from the very
start of the workshop. Individual outputs were submitted to the person-in-charge, both in
soft and hard copies. All participants were able to create and submitted the expected
outputs of the LDM course.
Session was adjourned at 5:30 in the afternoon with the body completely submitted the
expected outputs on time.
It was mentioned that the Child Safeguarding consideration is a provision under the Learning
Continuity Plan or the LCP. It emphasized that teachers must be vigilant enough regarding child
abuses at home or even in the school and in the community, in general. The participants were
reminded that the barriers for child’s access for help, in case of rampant domestic violence
against child’s welfare, might increase due to the fact that face-to-face teaching-learning
platform will be suspended during the opening of class. The speaker mentioned, as a serious
warning to the participants, that personal messages between a teacher and a learner is
prohibited if the learner is under the age of 13 (12 years old below). If in some instances it will be
necessary, the teacher must ask a written and signed permission from the child’s parent or
guardian. A ‘wholesome’ online screen background must be considered in talking with a learner
via an online video conversation.
The session was adjourned at 12:10 in the afternoon with a closing prayer led by Mrs. Irineta
Algones.
