LEARNING MODALITIES AND COPING

WITH CHALLENGES IN NEW NORMAL EDUCATION

This school year has proven to be challenging in the education sector of our
country due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The education system is greatly affected by the
COVID-19 outbreak. But despite this, the Department of Education (DepEd) is still
adamant to continue delivering basic education to all.

This institution is doing its best to distinguish the effective modality to be

implemented in every school. These include different learning delivery modalities that
the department will look into such as Online Learning, Modular Distance Learning,
Blended Learning, Radio-Based Instruction, and TV-Based Instruction. 

Undoubtedly, the shift of the teaching-learning delivery in schools to modular

distance learning made more challenging, on the part of the school personnel, the
delivery of basic quality education. That is why DepEd leaders are always finding
avenues to solve the problems and capacitating its teachers and school heads to
become more effective in their field for the modular distance learning.

As frontliners in the educational system, they have undergone various trainings

and seminars to be more equipped in delivering better education amid the COVID-19
pandemic as it is a norm of the department to train teachers not just for professional
growth but to become ready for unexpected circumstances. 

All this means it’s a challenging time to be an educator, and it’s natural to feel
stressed about what this school year will bring. But supporting students is what you do
best, and we’re here to help you in any way we can. That’s why we’ve compiled some
tips and resources, as well as best practices recommended by experts in the field, to
help you prepare for any eventuality and ensure your students (and their parents) feel
safe and supported, no matter what.
