2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the “new
normal”?
Given the current situation of our country due to the pandemic and as our educational system is doing
its best to adjust in providing alternative ways for learners to access quality education, this course
shall engage us to become more knowledgeable and skillful in terms of the implementation of the
most suitable learning delivery modality in their respective areas. This will also urge us to understand
better the needs of our learners and the most effective ways to provide instructional assistance
considering their health and welfare. This will also guide the teachers on how to implement LDM’s
the learners that fits on their skills and ability that leads into a meaningful learning despite of
pandemic.
3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this course?
The support mechanisms that will surely help me in learning this course are as follow:
1. My prior knowledge gains from the webinars/trainings I attended that are all connected to
this course. I research in the internet and watch collect some ideas from the internet
related to this course.
2. Discussion with the co-teachers, and gained by collecting their ideas
3. The expertise of the LAC sessions’ facilitators together with the collaborations of our teaching force
in giving insights, enlightenments, and support to each other in learning each module of this course.
ACTIVITY 2
Answer the following questions by copying and filling out the table in your Study Notebook.
needed to my learners and it led me to prepare my mindset in the new normal letting of
education nowadays. Although it gives burden, since the teachers are the one who deliver the
learning materials home to home but it gives a fulfillment through the effort and successful
education for the learners.
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?
It helps me a lot and gives me bigger picture that prepares me on what will happen in the future,
and because of this I will be able to sustain my strength that address every obstacle that hinder
my way to ensure the learnings of the of the students even in this time of pandemic. This will gives
much bigger help to the teachers as well as the learners. Take courage and willingness to sustain
interest to this course to be able to achieve a meaningful learning despite of pandemic.
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:
-To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and pedagogical
knowledge, practice, skills and attitudes.
-To poster a professional collaborating spirit among school heads, teachers and the community as a
whole.
-To nurture successful teachers.
-To improve the teaching- learning process to improve learning among students.
2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate.
1. Proper Schedule of LAC - It will be best if the schedule for the session do not conflict with the
other tasks and schedules of the teachers. Often times, teachers are attending 2 or more trainings
all at the same time resulting to give less focus to the LAC session.
2. Relevance of the Topics - To make sure that teachers are gaining knowledge and skills that are
useful to the current situation or in the future, the topics in the LAC sessions should be relevant,
timely, and beneficial to all parties concerned especially in these trying times.
3. Stable communication lines - As many of us are leveraging the power of modern technology in
conducting LAC sessions, it will be best if we can find a place with stable internet connection.
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 in forming your LACs.

LESSON 1: BACKGROUND, RATIONALE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF MELCS
ACTIVITY 1.
Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:
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?
The crisis brought about by the COVID-19 has posted a lot of challenges for the Department of
Education especially to the teachers who are standing in the front line to provide the continuity
in education. As a teacher, I believe that narrowing down the learning competencies has
become a huge factor in order to deliver the only the most essential in this time of pandemic.
However, one of the major concerns to ensure that learning continues is the implementation
process itself. Given the shortage of resources, schools, teachers, and the community itself are
finding means to bridge the gap. This also brings a big challenge to the department of
education to conduct education in this new normal situation. The best way to address the
problem is adopt this new normal learning by shifting to distance or modular learning. With this
strategy, we can ensure learning continuity. This collaboration of all the DepEd forces teaching
and non-teaching staff and of course through parent’s learners and stake holders support.
Learning must continue. Save the Children. Department of Education urges support for parents
and guardians in delivering new adaptive learning methods to ensure children continue to learn,
and remain protected from COVID-19.
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?
Congestion means overcrowding. A congested curriculum happens when too many subjects are
squeezed into a short period of time. Yes, I agree, In the Department of education several curriculums had
been laid and adapt for the purpose of achieving higher standard education and can produce a globally
competitive learner. But due to the congested curriculum with the content standard sometimes it takes
time to finish a quarter subject with a limited time allotment.
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.
Write
your answers in your Study Notebook.
1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
The Department of Education, through the Bureau of Curriculum Development has developed the
most essential learning competencies (MELCs) to address the challenges brought about by the global
pandemic. The MELCs is part of the department’s response to develop resilient education systems,
especially during emergencies and will enable DepEd to
focus instruction on the “most essential and indispensable” competencies. Its’ purpose is to address the
challenges brought about by the global pandemic; to develop resilient education systems during
emergencies. The MELCs intended to assist schools in navigating the limited number of school days as
they employ multiple delivery schemes by providing them ample instructional space.
2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning competencies?
Essential learning competencies are defined as what the students need, considered indispensable,
in the teaching-learning process to building skills to equip learners for subsequent grade levels and
subsequently, for lifelong learning. On the other hand, desirable learning competencies were defined as
what may enhance education but may not necessary in building foundational skills.
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable learning
competencies?
Most Essential Learning Competencies or MELC, according to DepEd, “are defined as what
the students need, considered indispensable, in the teaching-learning process to building skills to
equip learners for subsequent grade levels and subsequently, for lifelong learning. On the other
hand, desirable learning competencies were defined as what may enhance education but may not
be necessary in building foundational skills.”
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?
For me MELCS were identified by the concepts of each lesson and by looking if there were
similar competencies in the curriculum. And I think they used rubrics and many deliberations were
made about on what competencies to retain or to drop until they came up with one decision. And
determining the criteria for the selection of the MELCs, the Department collaborated with
stakeholders from ACTRC, during which the descriptor – ENDURANCE – was considered the
primary determining factor. A learning competency is considered enduring if it remains with learners
long after a test or unit of study is completed or if it is useful beyond a single test or unit of study.
Examples of such learning competencies include research skills, reading comprehension, writing, map
reading, and hypothesis testing, which are essential in many professions and in everyday life (Reeves,
2002; Many & Horrell, 2014). The Department then identified the MELCs across all learning areas
through the application of these understandings. A list of the characteristics of essential learning
competencies was provided to help participants decide which among the learning competencies are
deemed most important.
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction?
For me the importance of MELC in ensuring the delivery of quality instructions is it targets what matters
in each lesson. And it also ensure that all learners can easily understand the lesson since it is well
identified. The MELCs are made aligned with the national/local standards, applicable to real-life and are
the most essential competencies that students are expected to

learn despite this pandemic. The Department of Education has made sure that with limited resources, time,
and the absence of face-to-face instructions, learners would still get the the necessary competencies the
need to acquire through these MELCs
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 in your Study Notebook and compare the two
documents to determine which learning competencies were retained, dropped, or merged.
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, in your Study Notebook.
-After the discussions and exchanging of ideas we come up with the different ides
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: 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 in your Study Notebook:
2. What considerations must be taken in unpacking and combining the MELCs? Explain each.
School calendar – we must see or understand that MELC were formed because of the shorter
school year.
Curriculum Standards – Both content and performance standard must be seen and take into
considerations because we need to make it sure that we are not compromising the curriculum.
BOW – We need to unpack the MELC base on the number of days that each lesson will be taught
Logical sequence of learning objectives - We can’t give a better learning idea to our students if
our objective is not logical sequence. Planning what are the most important objective is key frame
in achieving better understanding of our learners.
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 in your Study Notebook.

LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1
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 in your Study Notebook.
Face-to-Face Learning - A traditional way of teaching and learning process where learners usually to go
schools in order for them to acquire the learning competencies designed for them. This refers to a learning
delivery modality where the students and the teacher are both physically present in the classroom, and there
are opportunities for active engagement, immediate feedback, and socio-emotional development of learners. It
also requires the presence of a
teacher with aids for teaching and providing learning resources to the class for better outcomes.
Distance Learning - Refers to a learning method where learners are provided with materials or tools that they
can study at the comfort of their home. A learning delivery modality where
learning takes place between the teacher and the learners who are geographically remote from each other
during instruction. This modality has three types: Modular Distance Learning (MDL), Online Distance
Learning (ODL), and TV/Radio-Based Instruction.
Blended Learning - This refers to a learning delivery that combines face-to-face with any or a mix of
online distance learning, modular distance learning, and TV/Radio-based Instruction. Blended learning will
enable the schools to limit face-to-face learning, ensure social distancing, and decrease the volume of people
outside the home at any given time.
Homeschooling - This is an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) that aims to provide learners with access to
quality basic education through a home-based environment to be facilitated by qualified parents, guardians
or tutors who have undergone relevant training. It allows families to educate according to their personal faith,
philosophy, and values, and to adjust learning schedules around family schedules and circumstances. It does
not require learners to go to
school.
2. Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component? Write down your answer in your
Study Notebook
Home schooling and distance learning do not require face to face learning. Blended learning refers to a
learning delivery modality using a combination of the features of F2F and modular distance learning,

Disabilities
Persons with disabilities experience a variety of barriers to education. In
health crises such as COVID-19, persons with disabilities are often
provided with less help and inadequately trained teachers.
ACTIVITY 1
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As you go through the
document,
write down your answers to the following questions in your Study Notebook:
Creating a lesson is an important aspect of instructional design. Lesson plans allow teachers to create
learning objectives, organize and deliver course content and plan and prepare learning activities and
materials. It also outlines the type of informal or formal assessment methods that teachers will use in their
classrooms. Lesson designing or lesson planning is the process of determining what learning opportunities
students in school will have by planning "the content of instruction, selecting teaching materials, designing
the learning activities and grouping methods
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. In your Study Notebook, copy the
following
table:

3. How can the teacher gather feedback on the different learning tasks,
in order to refine or modify current and future lessons?
Teachers can gather feedbacks from the learners and guardians thru phone call, text messaging, and
messenger chat.
The activities or answer sheet should always be pupil – centered to enhance student learning skills and
more on real life situations to develop critical thinking and for the student to easily understand the
lesson. In terms of maximizing teacher preparation time we should provide

Assessment is always a part of designing instruction. Read the DO 8, s2015 on Policy Guidelines on
Classroom
Assessment to learn about assessment. 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 in your Study Notebook.
Formative Assessment Summative Assessment
ACTIVITY 6
Which assessment methods can you adapt in DL considering the content area that you are
teaching?
In your study notebook, 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.
Portfolio Making
Learners will be instructed to compile all their
outputs per learning area. Every learner should
have to submit a learning output portfolio
wherein learner’s reflection is attached to it for
the teacher to determine an authentic response
towards what the pupils learned. In assessing the
portfolio of every learner, the teacher should use
rubrics to further assess and evaluate learner’s
understanding on the lessons given.
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.
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.
For me the biggest challenge is how to contact all your students to inform them that you have your assessment
for the reason that not all of them have an access in the internet.
3. Despite the challenges, what opportunities can you and your colleagues explore to make
assessment doable in DL?
We can collaborate well and choose among our all method of assessment listed in our
notebook. We come up the best method to use in the distant learning. By attending
webinars/trainings in connection to the implementation of distance learning, we are able
to learn various ways in communicating to the learners/parents/guardians to provide
instructional assistance especially in providing assessments that may be confusing to
them.

LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAPS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING
ACTIVITY 1
1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the LDM adopted by your
School/Division?
Modular distance learning is the adopted modality in our school. Hence, printed self-learning
materials and activity sheets are the resources that we are going to utilize. 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?
-If we have no complete LR , I will use the internet to search for another resources to be used in my
lessons. I will also use DEPED PORTAL, DEPED COMMONS, offline videos and maximize the use
of Learners Materials. The school is now in the process of reproduction and reviewing the SLMs
provided to us. But teachers are already utilizing the use of LR Portals like LRMDS and DepEd
Commons to find useful and effective LRs to supplement the SLMs if needed.
3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR Portals? From
whom can you get this
- A stable and good internet connection is a primary need in accessing these online portals. A support
group to ensure the quality and appropriateness of the LRs should be established. I will get the
support from my fellow educators and the technical support from out ICT coordinator.
4. 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?
-For me it will be appropriate if we will use the correct assessment tools because we are the one who
knows our learners. The resources are appropriate to the different levels of our learners. These
resources are in editable formats so improving or adjusting it to meet the needs of all learners should
be easy.
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 and write them in your Study Notebook.
-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. We have agreed to provide immediate technical assistance to
each other when we encounter problems in accessing online portals for LRs. We also came up
to a consensus to share updates and useful tools and knowledge about more sources whether
offline or online sources of LRs to suffice the needs for additional useful LRs.
LESSON 2: ACCESSING LEARNING RESOURCES FROM DepEd PORTALS
ACTIVITY 1
Explore the Portals.In your Study Notebook, answer the following questions:
1. Given the LDM adopted in your School, how can the two DepEd portals respond to your LR needs and
those of your learners’? How do they complement the LRs that you already have?
For me these two portals respond by meeting the needs of the teachers and the learners and
also the two portals are aligned according to the learning competencies that is why it is flexible
and ready to use. Hence, In our school we adapted a Modular Distant Learning, by the help of
the two DepEd portals we can easily access of Learning resources and SLM. We can obtain our
l earning modules online so it eases the burden for us, teachers. Paperless LR fast and well-ordered process in
giving LRs. The LRMDS and DepEd Common portals provide supplementary materials to our SLMs that we
can download, improve and adjust to meet the needs of all our learners. It gives variety of learning activities
to complement the existing LRs I have prepared.
2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your learners? How will
you overcome these challenges?
In my experience, Internet connection is the main concern in accessing the portal and 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. The problem is that we are
in a mountain areas in which most of my learners don’t have a cellphone, laptop or internet
connection.
3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From whom can you
get this support?
I think we need to ask for the support of our schools to promote the use and importance of these portals.
But before we can open the portal, we need to have an internet access and
permission from the administrator who is our ICT coordinator which is designated as the admin of the
portal. And a good and stable internet connection is a primary need in accessing these online portals. A
support group to ensure the quality and appropriateness of the LRs should be
established. I will get the support from my fellow educators and the technical support from out ICT
coordinator.
ACTIVITY 2
In your next LAC Session, share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activity 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 in your Study Notebook.
-During LAC session we knew that one in our group is an admin of the said portal in our school.
We had shared our personal experience in using the learning Portals and after the session we
agreed to use the portal frequently in addressing need in teaching and regarding LRs. We
agreed to provide technical assistance in case problems occur while accessing the said
portals. We also decided to include the updates of these portals to our future LAC sessions.
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 in your Study Notebook:

1. Connected and relevant to the MELCs?
2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or “Cannot Be

Yes, I will study first before I am going to give it to my learners so that if there is something to
be change I can change it directly or if there is any error I can correct it.
3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be assessed? Specify
which aspect/s.
- The learning material covered the lesson but require some description and terminology to achieve
the best understanding of the concepts.
4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your
learners?
It makes me pick the right LR by looking at the data of the checklist. Understanding the
management of this LR Portals, this gives me the confidence and motivation to look for the
most appropriate learning resources to my learners.
ACTIVITY 2
Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find online. Take note of the portals in your Study
Notebook.
Download at least one LR from each portal. Assess the materials using the same tool and answer the
following
questions in your Study Notebook:
1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a non-DepEd Portal compare with the LR
from the DepEd Portal?
-For me it will be appropriate if we will use the correct assessment tools because we are the one
who knows our learners. The resources from non DepEd portal are not quality assured and only
provide minimal support to attain the learning objectives for the students. While most of the
learning resources from DepEd portal are quality provide support.
2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials — both from
DepEd and Non DepEd portals — still need?
A more precise and easier to follow instructions can be developed. Upload more additional
resources to meet all the learners’ needs and levels of understanding - DepEd materials,
before posting to the DepEd portal were being examined by the DepEd personnel so I
think there’s no need for revisions for that, but non DepEd materials of course need to
be examined first and must be aligned to the assessment tool and your learners.
3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your
learners?
-Because of this exercise and assessment tool I can now choose better Learning Resources for
my subject matter. Understanding the management of this LR Portals, this gives me the
confidence and motivation to look for the most appropriate learning resources to my learners.
ACTIVITY 3
Choose one of the LR materials that you have developed. Assess this material using the same tool. Answer
the following questions in Your Study Notebook:
1. How does your material compare with the ones that are obtained from the online portals?
The material needs more precision and quality assurance .
Need to improve the sources of the activity and the type of font. I should make it readable to
my students. Also, I must consider the culture and gender fair next time. And the complexity of
contents to meet the learning needs of my students.

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 in your Study Notebook.
I will have to work on assessment and reporting that will ensure the credibility of learning in this distance
learning. It will help me optimize the ways to monitor and evaluate learners’ progress and minimize possible
distance cheating.
The following domain of the PPST that I need to focus more are the following
a. Domain #3 Diversity of Learners
Since the modality choose of our school is a self-learning material modality/ modular, teacher
check the content of the SL, it should be gender and culture friendly to the learners. SLM content
must also modify the multi-intelligence of the learners. Provide a SLM that tends to uplift the multi-
intelligence of every learners.
Planning is the best way to do to come with better outcomes. As a teacher, planning of
intervention, strategies and innovation are required especially learners learn independently. In
order to be more productive in planning the curriculum, teacher must undergo different
webinars and SLAC session to be more equipped with knowledge. Decides and prepare tools
that best for the needs of learners even if they are learning at their homes. Teacher needs to
embrace more ICT matters for easily way in reproducing learning materials. In other hand, the
printed material given to learners are valid and reliable which aligned in the given learning
competencies.
School can’t stand alone without the help and cooperation of the community, stakeholders
and other clienteles. The same as the teacher, you can’t give a quality education to the
learner without the parent’s cooperation especially these crises. How could the teacher
deliver the education without knowing the parents as well as the learner’s? In this kind of
modality in the new normal setting most t important is the cooperation of parents,
community, and stakeholders. Stakeholders, parents and teachers communication are the
fundamental in supporting learner’s learning. Teacher should help learner’s family get
connected in order to deliver in instruction successfully. Moreover, professional development
of a teacher also needed to uplift and improve, not only build a good rapport to co-teacher
but also build efficient, effective, and productive teachers

LESSON 1: THE TEACHING PORTFOLIO AND ITS CONTENTS
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 and jot down your answers in your Study Notebook:
1. How will your Portfolio help you in tracking the progress of your teaching practice in your School’s
LDM?
- My portfolio will help me in tracking the progress of my teaching practice in my school’s LDM by
simple looking at it every time I am confuse on what to do and by checking my answers here in the
portfolio if I execute it well. Or by assessing myself if I am still aligned on my portfolio. Portfolios
are intended to evaluate learning progress and achievement in a specific course, by completing my
portfolio in LAC sessions about LDMs I am now ready for the challenge of the new normal in
education. I am now fully capable of preparing my lesson plans and in choosing the appropriate LRs
to supplement the SLMs.
2. What evidence from the previous modules will help capture the progress of your teaching practice?
- The WHLP and IMLP will help me capture the progress of my teaching practice. Learning to create
an individual development plan can help my assess my weaknesses and strengths in terms of my
teaching practices.
- Through the act of collecting learning artifacts and compiling them into portfolios, teachers should
have an opportunity to reflect upon their experiences and see their own growth. Reflection is an
integral part of the learning process. It allows us to learn more about ourselves and how we learn, but
it also aids us in improving skills. And writing down my reflections and insights can help me
navigate my intent to improve in aspects that I needed to. It also serves as my review points
whenever I feel lost in performing my duties. Most importantly, it serves as a gauge on how well I
understand the topics discussed from this course.
ACTIVITY 3
Familiarize yourself with the List of Suggested Evidence Form. Is the list of evidence enough to capture
the progress
of your teaching practice? What other evidence can you think of that is relevant to the LDM adopted by
your School?
Write down your answers and other insights in your Study Notebook.
Documentation of Lesson Delivery

The list of evidence in the learning delivery modality is enough at the moment. Although of course
there might be something else that need to be included as we go on to the implementation of
the DL through the MDL. In the future LACs, surely our group will suggest of other strategies to use
and henceforth the evidences to prepare.

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 in your Study Notebook.
I will make sure that I have access to the things I need before, during and after the
implementation phases of the school LCP. Making sure that I am well aware of every step
and in documenting every single thing that’s happening along the way. I shall also be
guided with the rubrics at hand to ensure that I am on track and that the Professional
Standards are met. And in order to be successful in making the portfolio I must consider first
the Demonstration progress of the LDM implementation which is 30% in the rubrics. The
outputs that I produce should be aligned with the professional standards of 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.

INSIGHTS:
Levels of Performance Rubric in our LAC Session is responsive to the evaluation criteria
and indicators .Criteria are identified in (rows), one must then decide on how many levels of
performance will be described (columns). Keep in mind that the levels of performance is
designed as EXCELLENT(5) VERY SATISFACTORY(4) SATISFACTORY(3) MARGINAL(2)
UNSATISFACTORY(1). To indicate each level of performance, one could simply identify
scores such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Although you might understand what level of performance
occurred by assigning a score of a “1” or a “5,” no one else would, and this approach would
not be fair to the teachers or enhance their professional growth.
Introduction:
In line with the implementation of Republic Act No. 10533, or the Enhanced Basic
Education Act of 2013, the Department of Education (DepEd) issues the enclosed policy on
The Learning Action Cell (LAC) as a K to 12 Basic Education Program Schol-Based
Continuing Professional Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and
Learning.
When the first COVID-19 case was recorded in March this year, the country was
placed under a state of national emergency. COVID-19 ushered in a new normal in the way
people conduct business and deal with each other. In the face of this continuing health threat,
the Department of Education (DepEd) formulated the Basic Education Learning Continuity
Plan (LCP) to put into motion the marching orders of the Secretary: ensure that learning
continues while guaranteeing the health, safety, and wellbeing of all learners, teachers, and
other DepEd employees.
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. Where school-based, Face-
to-Face Learning is not possible, the LCP identifies three learning delivery modalities
(LDMs) that schools may implement: Distance Learning, Blended Learning, and
Homeschooling.
Going through deep, teachers attending under this course will not only follow what
has been set to be the requirements by the department but teachers who have the passion to
do the responsibilities yolked is far beyond measure.
