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. 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 2 or more trainings
all at the same time resulting to give less focus to the LAC session.

2. Relevance of the Topics - To make sure that teachers are gaining knowledge and skills that are
useful to the current situation or in the future, the topics in the LAC sessions should be relevant,
timely, and benefial to all parties concerned especially in these trying times.

3. Stable communication lines - As many of us are leveraging the power of modern technology in
conducting LAC sessions, it will be best if we can find a place with stable internet connection.

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.

REFLECTION:

Upon discussing with my CO-teacher regarding how I Will respond to the

completion Of this LD/M2 modules, I had gained optimistic spirit Of enlightenment.
Subjecting myself to undergo through this process will not only benefit me a lot but it Will
also benefit my learners under the new normal school setting wherein learning is
prohibited because Of the health risks brought about by COVid 19. Learning must
continue no matter what the situation is. Learning is possible because there are other
learning modalities that can be used to make learning to happen.
