1. On hybrid learning
With the recent developments and with the responsibility of looking at school
stakeholders’ health and safety, it appears that physically going back to school will
have to take the backseat. Thus, making the hybrid plan the best approach since it
pliably allows reconfiguration to answer the call of times.

a. ECE
All the ECE classes will be assigned an online circle time. A circle time is a fixed time for
social interactions among children, and it is facilitated by their teachers. Circle time
develops positive relationships, respect, and unity among children. It also promotes
engagement, as well as speaking and listening skills. The Circle Time for each class
belonging to the first half of the batch (Batch 1) will take place at 9:00 AM daily for 30
minutes and at 10:00 AM for the classes belonging to the other half of the batch (Batch
2). The children will work on one integrated Learning Playlist per day every week. Each
Learning Playlist may be accomplished any time within the day, for approximately two
hours.

b. Elementary
All classes in the GS department will be asynchronous. However, the teachers may
schedule synchronous classes for small group consultation periods or follow-up
lessons. While holding mostly asynchronous classes, the department will follow a
weekly schedule to help the grade schoolers observe daily routines. The parents and
their children may follow this set schedule, or do the school work at their own
preferred time. During Homeroom, the advisers will meet the classes via video
conference. Attendance during this session will not be checked and is not compulsory;
the students through their parents or guardians may opt to communicate with the
advisers at another time depending on their availability.
All classes will be able to meet their subjects and teachers semimonthly, every two
consecutive weeks. This is called a cycle. For example, Grades 1, 2, and 3 will be able
to meet all their subjects and teachers on Weeks 1 and 2 (first cycle) and Weeks 3 and 4
(second cycle). All in all, there will be typically two cycles in a month.
Grades 1,2, and 3 will follow almost the same schedule. This holds true for Grades 4, 5,
and 6. Samples of these schedules are shown below:
c. High School
To ensure that no student will be left behind, the preferred mode of remote teaching is
asynchronous. This approach removes the constraint of time and place in learning. We
recognize that all households, therefore all students, have varying conditions of
connectivity. True to its desire to be inclusive, the methods that will be used by teachers
will be able to efficiently accommodate all kinds of learners based on their status of
connectivity. Generally, online and offline learning packets will be made available
depending on the need of the learners. If the connectivity of students will allow,
synchronous classes may be held. However, this is not the primary mode of learning
delivery.
The department also recognizes the ideal length of engagement time appropriate for a
high school learner, which is 270 minutes per day (UPCED, 2020). All Learning Playlists,
both tasks and outputs, are designed to be accomplishable within the said length of
time.
All high school classes will be able to meet their subjects and teachers semimonthly,
every two consecutive weeks. This is called a cycle. Typically, there will be two cycles in
a month. Every day, students shall be accomplishing a series of tasks based on the
curricular targets through the Learning Playlist and other learning materials that will
either be online or offline depending on the connectivity status of the learner. Every day,
there will be assessments of learning, deliverables, and opportunities to check in with
their advisers, subject teachers, and guidance counselors. Examples of Junior High and
Senior High schedules are shown below:

7. On pre-opening activities
In the same week, the class advisers shall be profiling the students in terms of their
connectivity status. The goal is to come up with a database to help us further in the
design of instruction for each class. At the same time, this will be used in the
preparation of offline learning packets.
The orientation by the Rector/DAA, the Principal through the Assistant Principals, the
Student Activity Coordinator, and the Advisers will also take place during the pre-
opening week.

Conversely, an asynchronous approach is not constrained by place and time. Here, the
learner is afforded more time to engage with content at his own pace. This approach
also allows for offline engagement. Both online and offline resources are available; thus,
meeting learners where they are in terms of their status of connectivity. The HLP
ecosystem embeds a learning community that provides all learners an opportunity to
check in with their teachers, advisers, librarians, and guidance counselors. A
consultation time is made available daily. These are reflected in all learning packets,
whether online or offline. Offline learners can capitalize on what we call micro-content
delivery systems to communicate with the adults in the HLP ecosystem using SMS and
common, simple messaging applications such as FB Messenger and Viber.
Schools policies on discipline will still apply even remotely. Now more than ever, the
development of digital citizenship among students will be emphasized.
All learning packets will be sent to students a week prior to the start of the learning
cycle.
