Methodology of Implementation:

This is a distance learning strategy where students and teachers are physically at a distance
with each other while the teaching and learning process is going on. The teacher shall meet
students thru different modes of communication (social network, online class, text messaging,
email, messenger, etc.) to provide an orientation of the program and instructions for the
students to follow throughout the duration of the course.

Guidelines are prepared by the teachers based on the institutional policies to ensure that
students will be able to follow through the different activities set for the course. There is no
face to face activity which means students are not required to report to school to attend
classes, rather they shall interact with their teachers in different technology based
communication strategies set by the teachers for the course.
Topics shall be assigned according to the syllabus of the subject. Activities are given at pre-
determined time to be completed by the students. At the completion of each topic, students are
required to take the evaluation examinations which shall be given by the teachers which
determine applicability of the lessons learned.

During the duration of the course, students can consult their teachers from time to time to
address their difficulties or challenges they may encounter along the way.
The subjects are structured in sequential order. Course materials and references shall be
provided by the teachers in advance to facilitate teaching and learning process.

Topics are presented in an order in which many students would like to learn them- starting with
a basic component and then gradually moving on to those that are more complex. Each chapter
follows a time tested formula that explains topics in an easy-to-read- style. The students can
then compare their knowledge with what they are expected to know by taking chapter test and
the final examination.
