SEPTEMBER 23, 2022

NARRATIVE REPORT

“Learning experiences are like journeys. The journey starts where the learning is now and ends where
the learner is more successful. The end of the journey isn't knowing more, it's doing more.” - Julie Dirksen
Teachers need to grow and develop. No matter how old you are in your teaching profession, there is
always more to learn and there are ways to continue to grow and improve. However, getting better is not that
easy. Instead, it takes hard work, dedication and commitment.

After the preliminary activities the LAC Session Proper started. Our brilliant school principal, Ma’am
Maribel L. Bugnosen, was our first speaker. Her topic was about Lesson Plan / DLL. She started her talked by
asking the participants on the difference of lesson plan and DLL. Participants shared their thoughts, and all
agreed that Lesson Plan and DLL differ on the structure but not on its purpose, both serve as the framework,
road map or guide in the teaching and learning process. A lesson plan or DLL is a teacher's description of the
course of instruction or "learning trajectory" for a lesson. She also introduced the Terminal and Enabling
Objectives of her topic. She also asked for whom we make the lesson plan and DLL and its for our learners, our
clientele in the teaching and learning process. After which, she discussed the Three-step process in Planning for
Instruction (Wiggins and McTighe ,1998) and the Importance of Lesson Planning. She also talked on the parts

to appear spontaneous.”- Mark Caine

from their own.” - Katherine Paterson
