2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality
instruction in the “new normal”?
Answer : The LDM 2 will prepare teachers with knowledge, skills and
mindsets that would be necessary for the new school year in ensuring the
delivery of quality instructions in the new normal.
3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in
this course?
Answer : The two support mechanisms are the following :
- The LDM2 course since it will enable me to plan for the
implementation of the school adopted LDMs, prepare learning
materials and resources.
- The collaboration with my co-teachers since we still need to
convene for a LAC session to discuss a particular lesson and to
collaborate on the task on hand.

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, I agree. The purpose for the curriculum is solely to achieve a
higher standard education and to produce a competitive learner but due to its
congested nature, students cannot cope up with it and most often that not,
teachers will have a hard time finishing the topic at the end of the quarter
with such limited time allotted for the teaching-learning process.
Activity 2
1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
Answer : The MELC made to allow students to advance based on their ability
to master a skill or competency at their own pace regardless of environment.
This method is tailored to meet different learning abilities and can lead to
more efficient student outcomes.
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable learning
competencies?

4. How were the essential learning competencies identified? What were the
decisions made in order to trim down the number of the essential learning
competencies further?
Answer : The competencies were identified according to the gaps, issues and
concerns across learning areas and grade levels. the decisions were made due
to the limited number of school days allotment at this time of pandemic and
should be based solely on the application to real-life situation.A key partner in
the review, which remains ongoing and will still be refined and finalized
beyond the COVID-19 period, is the Assessment Curriculum and Technology
Research Centre (ACTRC).
The characteristics of the MELCs are:
a. It is aligned with national standards or frameworks, such as, for
example, “holistic Filipino learners with 21st Century skills.”
b. They connect the content to higher concepts across content areas.
c. They are applicable to real-life situations.
d. They are important for students to acquire, even if a student drops out
from
school.
e. They cannot be expected to be ordinarily learned by students if not
taught in
school.
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality
instruction?
Answer : MELCs are made aligned with the national and/or local standards,
applicable to real-life and are the most essential competency that the students
are expected to learn in the setting of pandemic other than through formal
education that is why this is very important in delivering the quality
education.
The release of the MELCs is not just a response to addressing the challenges
of the current pandemic but is also part of the Department’s long-term
response to the call of SDG4 to develop resilient education systems, most
especially during emergencies. The MELCs can be used under similar
circumstances as a mechanism to ensure education continuity (curriculum
dimension). However, releasing the MELCs does not downplay the standards
set by the K to 12 curriculum guides. Rather, they serve as one of the guides
for teachers as they address the instructional needs of learners while ensuring
that curriculum standards are maintained and achieved. Furthermore, the

Schools/Divisions. Study this map and answer the following questions in your
Study Notebook:
1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to
implement the LDM adopted by your School/Division?
Answer : Our school implements Modular Distance Learning (MDL) so in
order to achieve this LDM we need to have printed Self Learning Modules(SLM)
which 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 : The school is not yet complete with these LRs, but we can work
hand in hand in order to make and accomplish the needed task like making
teacher-made activity sheets or propose a video resources to guide the
children in the safety of their homes.
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 needed LSM.
But we need to have an internet access so we can open the portal. We can het
this support from our IT Coordinator designated as the admin of the portal.
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?
Answer : Guided by the parents and if the learner would do his/her own
tasks, the LRs would be appropriate. Yes, those who are disadvantaged would
indeed encounter difficulty even with these LRs provided so I would suggest
constant guidance from stakeholders and constant monitoring progress from
teachers.

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?
Answer : Learning Resources and SLM are now ready in our portal from the
Central Office and Division Office for Modular Distant Learning so the only
help we can give to each other is to print the SLM for distribution to our
learners.
Activity 2
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.
Answer : During the 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 regarding LRs.

4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for
your lesson and your learners?
Answer :This exercise has helped a lot in thinking of my individual students’
welfare and how it would help them greatly in their learning process specially
if the lesson and material is right for them.
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?
Answer : DepEd prescribe LRs are reliable and aligned in the basic
requirement needed for choosing LRs while non DepEd LRs sometimes deviate
from the requirements of standard LRs.
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 no revisions for that but non DepEd
materials 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 : This exercise has helped a lot in thinking of my individual students’

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?
Answer : I made a learning resource in my Grade 10 students and found out
I did not meet some of the requirements prescribed by DepEd based on the
assessment tool.
2. What improvements do you still need to make in your developed ma
terial?
