Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Health 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module Health Trends,
Issues, and Concern in the National Level!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators
from public schools. The teacher or facilitator helps the learners to meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and
economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Health 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Health

Trends, Issues, and Concerns in the National Level.

This module will help you recognize and understand how the government
works with various institutions and sectors to address issues and concerns.
It is important to know these policies because they embody your rights as a
citizen of the country. Be aware. Be knowledgeable. Practice your rights

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You

v
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

For the Parents:

Education starts at home. This line extends to the premise that the education
of our children is the responsibility of parents and teachers.
The new normal way of schooling calls for the strong partnership between the
teacher and the parents. If the teaching and learning process is inaccessible in
school due to unavoidable circumstances, children may still continue schooling
unhampered at home.
To you, parents, the school is so grateful for your positive response in working
with the teachers through this module. It is expected that you will supervise the
pacing of your children as they go through the varied activities expected to be
accomplished at indicated time frame.
The school cannot carry on with teaching our children by relying on a regular
class schedule because of the fear of risking everybody’s life. Thus, parent’s
commitment is a potent tool in responding to the demand of the current situation- to
protect life while aiming to sustain the educational system in the mainstream.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:
