Look for a colleague with whom you would like to discuss your answers and reflections
with to the questions in Activities 1 and 2.

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:
___3___ To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among
students
___2___ To nurture successful teachers
___1___ To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their
content and pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
___4___ 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.
Answer:
1. The first challenge we faced is insufficient time for proper planning. The
conduct of LAC is sometimes conducted haphazardly” lack of plan, order or direction
due to time constraints and urgency of required reports

2. The second challenge is overlapping of schedules. Different subject areas

have their schedules that overlap with schedule of LAC such as district meeting,
webinars, workshops, trainings, etc.

3. Third one lacks sufficient resources on the conduct of LAC
