MODULE 1: COURSE ORIENTATION
ACTIVITY 1
Read the LDM Course Overview. Reflect on the overview by answering the following
questions. Write down your insights:
2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction
in the “new normal”?
Answer:
This course will help and guide the teachers to make sure what learning modality will be
used in the coming school year. This will make sure that teachers will be able to ready on how
to deliver these modalities through remote and multi-modal learning delivery. This will be the
challenge to us teachers in dealing with the new normal education for us to deliver excellent
and quality education for our learners whether if what learning modalities among the three will
be push through.
3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this
course?
Answer:
The LCP recognizes that DepEd must adopt alternative modes of delivering learning if it
is to reach all learners regardless of who and where they are. A critical component of the LCP
is enabling teachers and school leaders to use these learning delivery modalities effectively.
LCP capacity building has two streams. The first stream (LDM1) is focused on the
implementation and management of the alternative learning delivery system at all levels of the
education system, and intended for school and division leaders. This course you are taking
now, which is LDM2, is intended for teachers and is focused on the instructional implications of
using these alternative LDMs.
ACTIVITY 2
Answer the following questions by copying and filling out the table.
2. How can I ensure that I am able to sustain my strengths and address the
obstacles that will hinder me from completing this course?
Answer:
Maybe, from the help and collaboration of our colleagues in our department we can
supervise each other on how to solve the problems that we may face in this time of crisis.
ACTIVITY 3
Look for a colleague with whom you would like to discuss your answers and reflections
with the questions in Activities 1 and 2.
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.
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 (1-4, 1 being the
easiest) to achieve:
1
To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students
4 To nurture successful teachers
2 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. Collaboration- it helps to finish the work with members on time
2. Competence- by helping each other’s needs
3. Cooperation- by focusing and sharing ideas to the member
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 informing
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.

REFLECTION
In this trying times, teachers have a big role in pursuing the continuity of
education amidst the different crisis we are suffering. We must stand through this
instances for us to nurture our learners mind even in the time of pandemic. We must
have different teaching modalities that will suits our students needs where ever and
whom they are. We must light their way for them to have a bright future and they can
help our country soon. This course gives the teachers learning on how to prepare in the
new normal education. Thus, it must sustain the teacher’s capability in dealing
challenges that may be happen when the school year starts. Having this course has an
ACTIVITY 1
1. The closure of schools around the world due to the global pandemic posed
serious challenges on the delivery of quality basic education. As a teacher, what do you
think are the fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum standards that need to be
addressed in order to ensure learning continuity? Cite a specific example. Do you think
these concerns could be solved by teachers alone? Why or why not?
Answer:
The education sector have been affected by the covid-19 Pandemic, for this the
officials of department should implement a different platform in order to achieve the
basic and required competencies in the curriculum. This must be analyze and
decided by the experts because it will lessen the time that the students will use in
studying. Health is the concern of everybody this time, so this will be solution of the
problem we are facing. The teachers can implement this curriculum because we
know how to teach and what to teach, thus, the department leaders must provide a
lot of support and materials for us to do our duty. The officials have an essential
role to execute for they were the one we are holding on in the lower department.
2. Even prior to the spread of COVID-19 that eventually led to the closure of
schools nationwide, the congested curriculum has been a perennial problem of teachers
(Andaya, 2018). This is perceived to be one of the hindering factors on the poor
performance of Filipino learners. Do you agree with this observation? Why or why not?
Answer:
Yes, because the curriculum have a lot of competencies to be done in just a year
which is one of the problem why students lag in the mid of the year. Teachers can
still manage to handle it, but the students cannot. Maybe, they have a lot to practice
and to remember when they are studying. Unlike in the other country they have
ample of competencies which are only required and they apply it globally. Revision
must be done in the curriculum to upgrade students learning at a time. Also, one
hindrance that affects students learning is the lot of school activities that we
executed. In the part of teacher, the paper works which are somewhat unrealistic.
Maybe, we should be focus in teaching the students, preparing materials for them
and lessen in paper works, because in the real scenario even we have lesson
planned for the day this is not always follows the flow of teaching rather it is the
reason why the teachers cannot teach well the lesson because a lot of paper works
to be done, this is just my opinion.
ACTIVITY 2
Familiarize yourself with the course reading on the Development and Design of the
MELCs. After going through the document, provide a brief and concise response to the
following guide questions.
1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
Answer:
To lessen the face to face time for the teachers and students, as well as to
focus on the competencies which are essential in the learning of the students in
this time of pandemic.
4. How were the most essential learning competencies identified? What were the
decisions made in order to trim down the number of the essential learning
competencies further?
Answer:
Through reviewing the curriculum guides and mapping the competencies
which are to be done by the students in the year. Getting the most qualified
competency and essential for life-long learning while they are at home.
ACTIVITY 3
Prepare a copy of your learning area’s original K-12 Curriculum Guide and
corresponding list of MELCs.
Go to the sections of the curriculum guide and MELCs that are relevant to your
instructional needs. Copy and accomplish the following table and compare the two
documents to determine which learning competencies were retained, dropped, or
merged.
K to 12 Learning MELCs
Competencies
Retained install wire ways and cable tray install wire ways and cable tray
ACTIVITY 4
In your LAC Session, discuss and share your answers to Activities 1-3 in this lesson.
Discuss any questions about the MELCs that need clarification as well. Share your
thoughts and let your co-teachers articulate their insights regarding your questions. Jot
down all the insights shared in the discussion, including your own.
Insights:
The teachers ask what if the subject doesn’t have MELC specially in TVL Senior High
School so the remedy is that they may use the existing curriculum guide in their specialization.
Unpacking of MELC’s is very easy because you just have to look at the learning objectives which
are under that competency.
LESSON 2: UNPACKING AND COMBINING MELCS INTO LEARNING OBJECTIVES
ACTIVITY 1
Familiarize yourself with the course reading on Unpacking and Combining the MELCs.
After reading the document, provide a brief and concise response to the following guide
questions:
ACTIVITY 2
1. Form a group of four members within your LAC, preferably with fellow teachers in
your respective learning area.
2. Using the curriculum guide and a list of the MELCs, choose MELCs in the first
quarter and unpack these into learning objectives.
3. Each team will present their unpacked learning objectives. Discussion and
processing will follow each presentation. Suggestions and insights from each group
will be considered in enhancing the learning objectives.
Repeat the above process but instead of unpacking, each team will now combine at least
two MELCs of their choice. Group deliberation will be observed in order to arrive at a
consensus. Discuss and jot down the synthesis of the presentations.
Attach presentation:

ACTIVITY 3
Submit your Activity 2 Outputs to your LAC Leader. Make sure to keep a copy of your
outputs.
REFLECTION
As one of the basic technique in delivering the lesson in the new normal, it is
recommended that all teachers must know how to unpack learning competencies which
are broad in nature. Chunk the lessons which are too general and make it into simpler
format for them to follow chronologically the lesson. Most essential learning competencies
serves as guide to teachers for them to focus in a very specific area wherein they will only
apply and teach the life-long skills to the students in this time of pandemic. We are hoping
that when we return to the normal situation in the basic education, the educational system
should have implemented the best curriculum standards for the learners to jive the best
among the best in globalized world of learning. Perhaps, the education sector and its
officials have a direction in improving the educational system in the Philippines.
MODULE 3A: DESIGNING INSTRUCTION IN THE DIFFERENT
LEARNING DELIVERY MODALITIES
LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1
Do a quick check of your knowledge of the four modalities prescribed in the LCP—face-
to-face (F2F) learning, DL, blended learning (BL), and homeschooling. In your own
words, define each modality. Write your own definitions. When you are done, check
Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 1 to see how well you did.
Answers:
Face-to-face (F2F) learning refers to a learning delivery modality where the teacher and
learner/s are physically in one venue. There are opportunities for active engagement, immediate
feedback and socioemotional development of learners. It may be conducted in any available
physical learning space.
Distance learning refers to a learning delivery modality where a learner is given materials or
access to resources and he/she undertakes self-directed study at home or in another venue.
Learners engage in independent learning at home or in any physical learning space applicable,
by using learning materials that are accessible either online, stored on CD/DVD/USB Flash
drive, or in printed form, or by viewing TV lessons or listening to radio-based instruction while
being geographically distant from the teacher. The teacher supervises and monitors the learner’s
progress and provides remediation and enhancement when needed and possible. Assistance
may be provided by a learning facilitator who may be a parent or any member of the family, or a
community stakeholder.
Blended learning refers to a learning delivery modality using a combination of the features of
F2F learning and distance learning. It can be (1) F2F and modular distance learning; (2) F2F
and online distance learning; (3) F2F and TV-based instruction/Radio-based instruction; or (4)
F2F and any combination of the other types of distance learning.
Home schooling refers to an alternative learning delivery mode (ADM) that provides learners
with access to formal education while staying in an out-of-school environment, with parents,
guardians, or tutors as authorized facilitators instead of classroom teachers. This does not
preclude going to a school on specific periods to develop learning competencies that require the
use of laboratory, equipment, and others. It uses any or a combination of the various learning
delivery modalities.
Now, answer this question: Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component?
Check it against Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 2.
ACTIVITY 2
Note that when a vaccine is already available and F2F will be allowed by the Inter-
Agency Task Force (IATF) and by the local government unit (LGU) concerned, any of
the DL modalities may be combined with F2F learning to come up with a BL. Learn more
about BL in the Supplementary Handout on Blended Learning Delivery Modalities.
ACTIVITY 3
Then rank the DL types—MDL, ODL, TVBI, RBI, and BL—from easiest to most difficult
to implement. Give the reasons for your ranking of each.
Ranking
(1 to 5, from easiest Type of DL Why?
to hardest to
implement)
Learning is based on modules which will be self-learned by the
1 MDL students. This avoids the face-to-face interaction between learner
and teacher.
For the areas which are low risk in CoVid-19 Pandemic, so
2 BL
students learn through face-to-face and modular.
For the students who were auditory smart and have access to
3 RBI
radio stations in the community.
Still guidance of teachers, parents and school is done through
4 TVBI
viewing. A lot of things to be done.
Internet is the number one issue here, a lot of areas in the
5 ODL
community have low internet connection.
The LCP assures that all possible measures will be taken to ensure that no child will be
excluded from learning during the COVID-19 crisis. Think about groups of learners in
your School/Division who might require special consideration to be able to participate in
DL. Describe what targeted interventions you would develop to include them. Listed
below are some examples which may be relevant to your context. Add others as
appropriate. Write down your answers and share your ideas at your next LAC Session.
ACTIVITY 1
ACTIVITY 2
The second component of a well-designed lesson asks teachers to select and sequence
teaching and learning activities that would help learners meet the learning objectives.
These learning tasks can be presented (1) before the lesson, (2) during the lesson
proper, and (3) after the lesson.
Refer to the list of learning tasks below, and identify which section of the lesson these
learning activities can be presented by placing each task under the appropriate
column.
1. Wrap up activities
2. Review previous lesson
3. Clarify concepts from previous lesson
4. State lesson objectives as guide for learners
5. Provide learners with feedback
6. Present connection between old and new lesson and establish purpose for
new lesson
7. Emphasize key information and concepts discussed
8. Assess whether lesson has been mastered
9. Check for learners’ understanding
10. Explain, model, demonstrate, and illustrate the concepts, ideas, skills, or
processes that students will eventually internalize
11. Help learners understand and master new information
12. Ask learners to recall key activities and concepts discussed
13. Reinforce what teacher has taught
14. Transfer ideas and concepts to new situations
15. Present warm-up activities to establish interest in new lesson
Check learner’s prior knowledge about the new lesson Compare your answers to Lesson
2, Activity 2 Answer Key.
ACTIVITY 3
Lesson design does not end after implementing the lesson. After the delivery of the
lesson, teachers should take time to reflect on what worked well and why, and what
could have been done differently. Identifying successful and less successful activities
and strategies would make it easier to adjust and revise the lesson plan as needed.
I. Objectives
II. Content
III.Learning Materials and Resources
IV.Procedures
V. Remarks
VI.Reflection
Answer:
According to DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016: The reflection part of the DLL and
DLP should be filled up after the lesson is delivered. Teachers are encouraged to think
about their lessons, particularly the parts that went well and the parts that were weak
and write about those briefly. In the reflection, teachers can share their thoughts and
feelings about their lessons including things about the lesson that were successfully
implemented and which ones need improvement or could be adjusted in the future.
Teachers can also take note of the number of learners who earned 80% in the
evaluation, the number of learners who require additional activities for remediation, and
the difficulties teachers encountered that their principal or supervisor can help solve.
The learning tasks listed in Activity 2 all form part of the Lesson Procedures of the DLL
and DLP. To find out the instructional principles behind these learning tasks, you may
refer to the article Principles of Instruction by Barak Rosenshine
(https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/ periodicals/Rosenshine.pdf).
Read the handout Designing Lessons in DL. Recreate and accomplish the following
table. Then choose one lesson from a Self Learning Module (SLM) for students that you
have on hand. Imagine that you will deliver this lesson to your learners through DL. In
the second column, identify which of these tasks are already present in the SLM. In the
third column, identify which has to be presented via technology-mediated resources,
supplementary learning materials, or other means.
Additional Remarks:
(ex. can be done via voice
calls, can be facilitated by a
household partner,
Check if already can be done via a learning

session
1. For learning tasks not found in the SLM you examined, what materials or
resources can you create or curate to supplement the SLM?
Answer:
Materials which can be adapted to other resources like online, libraries and
other means.
2. What kind of additional support can you give: a) the learner, and/or b) the
household partner so that they are guided throughout the lesson?
Answer:
To the learners, if they already have some information of the competencies they
will be studying try them to read further to supplement their knowledge on their
area of specialization. To the family members, the teacher should give a copy of
curriculum guide, melcs, and other offline resources such as soft copy of modules
and offiline mobile applications to guide their child at home.
3. How can the teacher gather feedback on the different learning tasks, in order to
refine or modify current and future lessons?
Answer:
By contacting the learner itself through sms, messenger or facebook, phone calls
if they have phone or contacting the parents. Otherwise, if the learner still not be
contacted maybe the classmate of the learner or nearest to their location must
update the teacher. The best idea is to get the contact number of the parents of
students to get daily/weekly feedback.
Be ready to share your answers for Activity 4 when you meet with your LAC group after
completing this module.
• You can check the MELCs for topics that may be integrated into other learning
areas.
• You can team up to integrate lessons across learning areas. Integration of
content across learning areas maximizes time and helps learners make
connections for better understanding.
• You can use content topics as themes, motivation, springboards, or initial topics
for lessons across subjects. You can also try merging selected learning area
performance tasks and assessments and create separate rubrics for scoring
per learning area. This can make it easier for you to check student work, and
saves time for you and the learners.
Can you think of other ways of designing and implementing lessons that can enhance
student learning and maximize teacher preparation time? Don’t forget to check back with
your Coach and share them with your peers.
ACTIVITY 5
In the policy, you will find out about the two types of assessment: formative and
summative. Take note of the similarities and differences between the two. Write your
answers in a Venn diagram. Follow the example below.

ACTIVITY 6 (Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)
Which assessment methods can you adapt in DL considering the content area that you
are teaching? Recreate the following table and list five methods that you would like to
try. For each one, write how you plan to use it in DL.
Example: Short I will send a three-item quiz via text message before the lesson. Based on the
quiz responses, I will take note of the common misconceptions and clarify them to the
learners during our online session or via text message.
I will send mechanics of the game on messenger and each of the students must answer the

Be ready to share your output when you meet with your LAC group after completing this
module. Try to answer these questions with your colleagues:
ACTIVITY 7
Sample learning outputs obtained from different assessment methods may be collected to
build a learner’s portfolio. Read Guidelines on the Preparation of Portfolio and e-Portfolio to
find out how to construct and use it.
After reading the references, answer the following quiz to check your understanding about
using a portfolio to assess the learner.
√
1. A portfolio mainly displays the academic achievements of the learner.
√
3. There is a fixed list of items that should be included in a portfolio.
6. The learners may submit, store, and manage their portfolio via file sharing
programs or they may submit the actual softcopies of their work saved on √
a CD/DVD/USB flash drive.
Check out the Lesson 2, Activity 7 Answer Key to see how well you did.
Learners are different and have different abilities. For some topics, you can give
students some options or alternatives on how they will be assessed. Just make sure that
these would show how much they have learned.
LESSON 3: GUIDING AND MONITORING LEARNERS IN THE DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1
Answer the simple check-up quiz below. Read and match the descriptions in column A
with the terms in column B.
Column A Column B
C
1. These are the knowledge, a. learning area
understanding, skills, and attitudes that
learners need to demonstrate in every b. mode of delivery

A understanding of the content.
3. This refers to the prescribed subject
that learners take.
B
4. This refers to the method of
submission of learning outputs
preferred by the learner/parent based
on their context.
Now, based on what you have read, create a WHLP for your class. Take note of the
following when creating your WHLP:
• For grade levels where learning areas are taught by different teachers,
coordinate, plan, and discuss the WHLP with the learning area teachers.
• Adjustments should be made on the timeframe for accomplishing the learning
tasks if there are any suspensions of classes due to calamities (DepEd, 2020).
• Enjoyable learning activities scheduled on Saturdays such as designing
portfolios, should also be reflected in the WHLP.
• Be guided by the recommended screen time for learners set by the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) which
are as follows:
» Key Stage 1 (K to 3) – at most one hour daily for Kindergarten and one hour
to 1.5 hours for Grades 1 to 3
» Key Stage 2 (Grades 4 to 6) – up to two hours
» Key Stage 3 (Grade 7 to 10) – up to two hours for Grades 7 and 8 and up to
four hours (two in the morning and the other two in the afternoon) for Grades 9
and 10
» Key Stage 4 (Grades 11 to 12) – at most four hours (2 hours in the morning
and the other 2 hours in the afternoon)
ACTIVITY 3
Assume that after going through the outputs submitted by your learners, one of them has
problems completing the learning tasks for the first two weeks. Think of a possible
difficulty the learner may have encountered in accomplishing the learning tasks. Apply
what you have learned about ILMPs in Activity 3 and create an ILMP for that particular
learner who lags behind. Read and use the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan
Template. Consider the components of the ILMP that were described in Activity 3.
Share the ILMP that you made for that specific learner during your next LAC Session.
Check the Lesson 3, Activity 3 Answer Key to find out how well you did.
Remember also that in monitoring the progress of your learners, it is important to get in
touch with the household partner who provides assistance as needed while the learner is
doing the learning tasks at home.
Before leaving this Module, take note of the following key messages:
• There are no perfect lessons, but with careful planning, reflection, and
continuous adaptation before, during, and after lesson delivery, you will be
able to design lessons with your best efforts, and maximize learning in this
new context.
• It is important for teachers to keep track of how the students are doing, get
feedback from the learners (learners’ self-assessment), and from the learning
facilitators or household partners, in order to continuously improve lessons and
provide support for learners as they learn.
• One way of getting feedback from learners is by communicating regularly with
them and their families. As teachers, you need to make your presence felt, and
send the message to the learners that they are not alone in this situation. This
will greatly help them stay motivated.
• As teachers, you are part of a larger community of learners, and would need
support from your Coaches, School Heads, and fellow teachers as you adapt to
the new normal.
Now, coordinate with your LAC Leader regarding your LAC Session schedule for this
module. Be sure that you have your Module 3A outputs, Study Notebook, and LAC
Session 3A Guide ready when you participate in the LAC Session for this Module.
REFLECTION
This module gives me an idea on how to plan for the designing of instruction in the new
normal. It emphasizes on the different plans that we need to do for us to know the procedures that
we will do on this year. A challenge to all of us is to manage our time in dealing with this plans and
implement them for the best. As teachers we need to familiarize ourselves in this plans for as to
achieve our learning goals for our students. Perhaps, we need to establish further and know more
about these plans to apply in the teaching pedagogy.
ACTIVITY 1
1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the
LDM adopted by your School/Division?
Answer:
Our school will implement Modular Distance Learning (MDL) so in order
to achieve this LDM we need to have printed Self Learning Modules (SLM).
This SLM will be distributed to the learners.
2. Do you have the complete resources for the Distance LDM needed in class? If the
LRs are not complete or not available, what steps will you take to make these
available? What are your options to substitute these missing LRs?
Answer:
Yes
3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned
LR Portals? From whom can you get this support?
Answer:
Using the Deped LR we can easily find and obtain our need SLM. But
before we can open the portal we need to have an internet access and
permission of the administrator.
From our ICT coordinator designated as the admin of the portal.
Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level and
characteristics of learners? Are there learners who might be disadvantaged by the
materials (based on reading ability, level of learning independence, level of household
support, distance)? What adjustments will you make in terms of the LRs?
Answer:
Yes, they are appropriate to the level and characteristics of the learners
and so on. Maybe, by modifying the content of it and make it in a simplified way
for the students to cope up.
ACTIVITY 2
In your LAC Session, share and discuss your answers from the previous activity. What
support can you provide to your colleagues and what support can you get from them in
terms of LRs? Take note of the insights that you can gather from your colleagues.
Answer:
After the discussions and exchanging of ideas we come up with the different
ideas regarding LR. Learning Resources and SLM are now ready to our portal given by
the national for our modular Distant learning so the only help that my colleagues can
offer is to print the SLM for distribution to our learners.
LESSON 2: ACCESSING LEARNING RESOURCES FROM DepEd
PORTALS
1. LRMDS Portal. Ensure that you have an LRMDS Portal Account. If you have not
registered yet, follow the LR Portal User Guide to guide you in your registration
process. Alternatively, seek assistance from any of your colleagues or your IT
personnel in your school, district, or division. You may also coordinate with your
LAC Leader and/or Coach. To understand the portal better, you may watch the LR
Portal Video Tutorial located in the resources of this Course.
2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and
your learners? How will you overcome these challenges?
Answer:
Internet connection is the main concern in accessing the portal but some
students and teacher has a slow internet speed. The other concern is it needs a
cellular phone or laptop to enter the portal so as an adviser, I downloaded first
the specific LR and I personally distribute it to my learner to ensure that
everyone can get their copy.
3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals?
From whom can you get this support?
Answer:
What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-
sanctioned LR Portals? From whom can you get this support? Using the Deped
LR we can easily find and obtain our need SLM. But before we can open the
portal we need to have an interne access and permission of the administrator.
From our ICI coordinator designated as the admin of the portal.
ACTIVITY 2
In your next LAC Session, share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activity
1.
1. Explore how you can help and support each other in using the LR portals. Jot down
the insights and helpful information regarding the use of the LR portals.
ACTIVITY 1
Study the LR Rapid Assessment Tool. Download an LR from either DepEd Commons or
LRMDS Portal and assess the material using the tool. Answer the following questions:
ACTIVITY 2
Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find online. Download at least
one LR from each portal. Assess the materials using the same tool and answer the
following questions:
1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a non-DepEd
Portal compare with the LR from the DepEd Portal?
Answer:
Deped prescribe LRs are reliable and aligned in the basic requirement
needed for choosing LR's while non deped LR's sometimes deviate from the
requirements of standard LR's. But basically for specialized subjects like
Electrical Installation and Maintenance there were no files found in the Deped
LR portal that’s why I needed to fing a resource outside the portal.
2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials
— both from DepEd and Non-DepEd portals — still need?
Answer:
Deped materials before posting to the deped portal were being
examined by the deped personnel so I think there's no revisions for that but non
deped materials of course need to be examined first and must be aligned to the
assessment tool given by deped.
3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for
your lesson and your learners?
Answer:
Because of this exercise and assessment tool I can now choose better
Learning Resources for my subject matter.
ACTIVITY 3
Choose one of the LR materials that you have developed. Assess this material using the
same tool. Answer the following questions:
1. How does your material compare with the ones that are obtained from the
online portals?
Answer:
I had made a learning resources for my grade 12 students with the Title
Activity sheet The Multimedia. When I saw the assessment tool I had knew that I
am lacking and didn't meet some requirement prescribe by deped.
Share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activities 1, 2, and 3 in your next
LAC Session. Jot down insights and information that can be useful to you in choosing
the appropriate LRs.
Submit your LR assessments with your reflection on the exercises to your LAC
Leader. Ensure that you keep a copy for yourself.
Reflection Questions:
1. Was the material able to meet all the requirements?
Answer: Yes
2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or
“Cannot Be Determined”? What decision will you make on the LR material? Why?
Answer: None
3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be
assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
Answer: None
4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your
lesson and your learners?
Answer: It gives me an idea on where to find reliable source of information on the LR to
be used.

REFLECTION
After the LAC session we had seen a clearer view in making our own LR's and in
choosing and downloading LR's in our deped portal. A member of the group suggested that we must
adapt this tool and use it every time we make our own LR’s.
MODULE 4: PLANNING FOR CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AND LAC PLANNING

Revisit the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) found in the LDM2
Course Overview. Reflect on your self-assessment from Activity 1. What particular
professional standards in the PPST do you need to focus on to effectively use the LDMs
in relation to the content and pedagogy of the learning area/s you are teaching? Write
your answer and other insights:
Answer:
I need to develop and give more focus on the Domain number one, the content
knowledge and Pedagogy. As my self-assessment where I got only the agree level so
there's a room for my improvement. Also, I want to enhance the domain number six the
community linkages and professional engagement. I need to build strong relationship
with the guardians/parents of my students to deliver the quality supervisory among them
as well as with my co mentors in schools.

Applying the assessment tool in choosing learning Learning Resources, using LRMDS, Deped
resources for the module. Commons, and Non-DepEd Portals.
REFLECTION
I believe that every teacher has a plan which is important for us to be
guided and equipped with information which is essential for delivering the quality and
excellent education even in the new normal education. A challenge for everyone’s sake
and for our learners to access the new situation in learning is to provide differentiated
modalities that will suit their needs in pursuing education.
MODULE 5: BUILDING THE TEACHING PORTFOLIO
RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
MODALITIES
ACTIVITY 1
Before you begin to prepare building your Portfolio, you need to make sure that you have
completed all the outputs for this course. Go over the list found in LDM2 Guide for
Expected Outputs and find out whether you have completed all the outputs required for
Modules 1-4 of this course.
Submit the completed outputs to your designated Coach for final evaluation. Keep a copy of
all your outputs for your own records.
ACTIVITY 2
Study the Reading on Portfolios from the Glossary of Education Reform. Based on your
reading, reflect on the following questions.
1. How will your Portfolio help you in tracking the progress of your teaching practice
in your School’s LDM?
Answer:
Portfolios are intended to evaluate learning progress and achievement in a
specific course, by completing my portfolio in LAC sessions about LDMs I can now
be ready for the challenge of the new normal way of teaching. First if I will make
my lessons I can scan my finished portfolio and go to the topic about preparing
MELCs. Then if I will choose what learning resources to be used in my topic I can
refer to Learning Resources topics and how to download it in DepEd portals.
My portfolio will serve as evidences of my teaching and it will clearly show
my improvements as well as the problems I will meet and it will guide me to keep
on the right track.
2. What evidence from the previous modules will help capture the progress of
your teaching practice?
Answer:
In the previous module which is module 4, I had learned about making
individual development plan by this I can now asses my weakness and strength in
terms of my teaching practices. One of the best example is analyzing to what
domain do I need to focus more and make a development plan for that.
From the previous modules, the following evidences will help monitor my
teaching practice :
1. Unpacking of MELC
2. Learning task for DL
3. Weekly Home Learning Plan
4. Individual Learner’s Monitoring Plan
ACTIVITY 3
Researching and Incorporating August to November Lesson Plans (at least 2 per month)

Other Types of Evidence relevant to your modalities (as discussed in your LAC):
Is the list of evidence enough to capture the progress of your teaching practice?
Answer: Yes
What other evidence can you think of that is relevant to the LDM adopted by your
School?
Answer: None
ACTIVITY 4
In your LAC Session, discuss your answers and thoughts on the questions from
Activities 2 and 3 with your colleagues.
Other Types of Evidences relevant to your modalities (as discussed in your LAC):
ACTIVITY 1
Study the criteria and indicators found in the Evaluation Rubric. What steps will you take
to ensure that you are able to hit the criteria in the Rubric? Write down your answers and
any other thoughts about the Rubric.
Answer:
In order to be successful in making the portfolio I must consider first the
Demonstration progress of the LDM Implementation which 30% in the rubrics. Ensuring
the quality of my reflections in every topic or lesson that I tackled. Lastly, my output will
be based on the professional standard given by Deped.
ACTIVITY 2
Discuss and share your thoughts on the Rubric in your LAC Session. Present your steps
to make your outputs and Portfolio responsive to the evaluation criteria and indicators.
Take note of your colleagues’ other insights as well.
As a final reminder, make sure that you are able to collect the evidence of your teaching
practice as you have listed, and organize these into a Portfolio. At the end of the year,
you will submit your Portfolio to your LAC Leader, who will announce the specific date
and manner of submission.
