SUBSYSTEM 4:

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM DESIGNING

FOR TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (TPD)
A. Definition

L&D Program Designing (LDPD) for TPD is the subsystem for

conceptualizing and mapping out the elements of the specific
program or intervention1 that will address a set of identified
enabling objectives in the L&D plan in response to unique and
common learning and non-learning needs of teachers.
B. Purpose

The subsystem provides processes for formulating and

ensuring comprehensiveness and coherence of various
design elements: target learners, enabling objectives,
outputs, content, methodologies, and resources needed for
implementation. The subsystem also ensures accessibility
and participation of teachers in various programs or
interventions that are responsive to their context regardless
of age, gender, civil status, ability, interest, difficulty,
disability, ethnicity, religion, civil status, work assignment or
other diverse needs, and personal, family, and work-related
circumstances.
The subsystem’s outputs are:

 Intervention design which serves as the blueprint for

developing learning resource packages, implementing the
intervention, and establishing follow-through
mechanisms to ensure learning application.
1
A program can be composed of a single intervention or a series of interventions. A separate design is prepared for each
L&D intervention. For brevity, “intervention” will be used throughout the chapter, instead of “program or intervention,”
except when referring to the title of the subsystem (L&D Program Designing) and to the Program Management Team
(PMT).

1|P a g e
  Reviewed M&E Plan that was initially formulated during
the annual L&D planning.

C. General Guidelines

1. LDPD standards and processes apply to all L&D

modalities (JEL, RDL, LAC, formal training).

2. Intervention design in all L&D modalities shall contain

the following key elements:

 Performance Objectives/Enabling Objectives

 Task Activities

 Inclusive Dates

 Output
 Support Needed

3. Formal Learning and LAC designs shall contain the

following elements:
 Title of the Program / Intervention
 Background and Rationale Objective/s / Outcome/s
 Program / Intervention Description
 Professional Development Priorities
 Professional Standards Covered (PPST, PPSSH or PPSS
domain/s, strand/s, learning domains or indicator/s)
 Target Participant Profile (Career Stage, Grade Level,
Learning Area, Assignments or Designations in the
School

2|P a g e
  Number of Hours (Face-to-Face Instruction and/or
Online/Blended Learning, and
 Classroom Application (if applicable)
 Detailed Program or Course Matrix
 List of Resource Persons/Learning Facilitators
Supported by CVs
 Modules and Learning Resources to be Used

- Budgetary Requirements
- Delivery Platform (Online, Face-to-Face and
Blended Delivery)
- Indicative Date of Implementation
- Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)
Program Accreditation No. if Applicable
- Assessment Plan ( or Expected Outputs)
- Support Needed

4. LDPD processes are collaborative, involving the school

head, the PDC, and the assigned LDPD PMT (or Design
Team), subject matter experts, and where feasible and
practicable, a sampling of target learners and/or their
leaders. At the minimum, design should be validated
with offices where target learners are coming from.

5. Intervention design ensures equal access of female and

male teachers to context -responsive learning and
development opportunities, resources, and benefits.

3|P a g e
6. LDPD ensures women empowerment by actively
involving female teachers, making them equal with
male teachers, in the L&D program designing process for
TPD.

7. L&D designs may build on existing designs and may be

applied if these are fully aligned to the enabling
objectives of the unique and common learning needs of
the target teachers.

8. Designs of L&D interventions that are rolled out by

higher governance level to the field may be
contextualized and aligned to the enabling objectives of
the target teachers.

9. LDPD ensures inclusive and active participation through

the provision of reasonable accommodation (e.g.
learning platform, equipment) and/or elimination of
constraints, barriers and various forms of difficulty or
disability and gender-based discrimination with respect
to women’s access and their other context-related
considerations.

10. L&D design is competency-based:

4|P a g e
  L&D design is based on the result of competency-
based L&D needs assessment and planning to
address unique and common learning needs.
 Competencies for development are used as basis
for determining the design elements, particularly
learning objectives, outputs, content areas, and
methodologies.

11. Intervention learning objectives are relevant and

responsive to the competencies for development.

 All learning objectives are stated in behavioral

terms, and aligned with the behavioral indicators of
the competencies for development.
 All learning objectives (terminal, enabling, and
session) are stated from the learners’ point of
view.
 Terminal objective is directly aligned with
competency identified in the Workplace
Development Objectives (WDO).
 Session objectives are small enough to be covered
in a learning unit, relevant, sufficient to contribute
towards achieving the enabling and terminal
objectives and specify what learners can
realistically do by the end of a learning unit or
session.

5|P a g e
  Terminal and session outputs are relevant to the
competencies for development, and can be
realistically produced by learners within available
time.

12. Content areas support achievement of learning

objectives.

13. Content areas are prioritized and organized in a logical

sequence, using most appropriate structure.

14. All needed learning resource materials, supplies, and

equipment to support delivery of learning sessions are
identified and appropriate for the requirements of
diverse learners.

15. The JEL, WAP, RDL or LAC can be realistically completed

within six months using available resources in the
workplace.

16. Funding support, if needed, is available to implement

the WAP.

17. The JEL, WAP, RDL or LAC is approved by the immediate

supervisor/s where learners are based.

D. LDP Key Processes

6|P a g e
Designing L&D interventions takes inputs from the L&D
planning subsystem and follows the following process:

1.The school head/PMT takes the list of unique and common

learning and development interventions for individuals
and groups.

2.School head/PMT works with teachers/department heads

in designing the intervention to respond to unique
needs/learning objectives.

2.1. Job-embedded Learning

 School Head/ PMT identifies the doable activity

that can meet the learning objective of the
teacher following the description and program
structure in (Annex A)
 School Head/PMT uses form proposed in Annex A
to document the agreed on activity.

2.2. Relationship- and Discussion-based Learning

 School head/PMT identifies a coach for the

teacher (if SH is not the coach).
 School head discusses the teacher’s learning
objective with the coach.
 School head/PMT and coach uses form in Annex
A to document the details of the coaching
activity.

7|P a g e
3.School Head works with PMT on the interventions
addressing common needs:

I.1.Formal Training

3.1.1. Review and finalize detailed L&D intervention

design.

 Check if the elements of the Detailed L&D

Intervention Design Template are complete,
specifically: Time, Session Objectives, Outputs,
Content Areas, Methodology, Learning Team,
and Resources.
 Review detailed intervention design for
coherence and completeness.
 Identify and/or finalize follow-through JEL,
WAP, RDL, and LAC and ensure that either of
these will:
- contribute to the achievement of
Workplace Development Objectives; and
- contribute to learners’ IPCRF targets and
their unit’s OPCRF objectives
 Provide adequate opportunities for learners to
demonstrate new behaviors and generate
sufficient data for assessing the acquisition of
competencies and learning transfer.

3.1.2. Prepare and review Intervention Design and

Proposal Package (see Annex B)

8|P a g e
  Determine the proposed budget based on
resource requirement
 Determine proposed Continuing Professional
Development credits
 Prepare full write-up of the intervention
design following the quality standards
 Submit Intervention Design and Proposal
Package to approving authority for review and
approval.
(Please refer to L&D Manual Appendix V-E for
Intervention Design and Proposal Package
Template.)

I.2. Learning Action Cell

3.2.1. School Head meets with PMT and members of

the group that will undergo the LAC to achieve
their learning need.
3.2.2. School Head/ PMT and LAC members
representative plan out the LAC activity and
documents this using a LAC planning form (See
Annex C and D)

Below is a simplified process to guide program designing.

Learning Modalities, Templates and Structures

Learning and Development Modalities

An integral part of the L&D/TPD program designing

subsystem is selecting the most appropriate blend of
modalities to address the unique and common learning
needs of teachers. L&D/TPD planning and designing sub
systems ensure that teachers regardless of age, gender,
civil status, ability, interest, difficulty, disability, ethnicity,
religion, civil status, work assignment or other diverse
needs or work-related, personal or family circumstances
are able to fully access and participate in the selected
interventions.

The structure and template for each modality are also

presented below. The structure illustrates the school
personnel involved in each modality and the reporting and
working relationships among them. The template, on the

10 | P a g e
other hand, outlines the learning objectives, tasks, and
outputs, among others, of each learning modality a teacher
or teachers will engage in and will serve to document the
agreement between teacher and school head to undertake
the learning and development activity when signatures are
affixed.

A. Job-Embedded Learning (JEL)

Job-embedded learning (JEL) includes activities that

support teachers’ learning and development while they
are in their schools or learning centers. JEL can be used
when the delivery mode can be integrated into the
teacher’s instructional practices, either as distinct or
supplementary intervention after a Learning Action Cell
(LAC) or a formal training. The use of JEL is more
effective when supplemented by coaching, reflective
thinking, and processing of teacher’s learning.

The teacher’s direct supervisor, i.e., department

head/chair/coordinator, has the primary responsibility
for planning and designing, developing learning resource
materials (including job aids), implementing, monitoring,
and evaluating the intervention and the teachers’
learning progress. The supervisor collaborates with the
school head for the review and approval of the
intervention design, provides feedback on progress, and
submits completion report at the end of the
intervention. (See Box 1 below.)

Box 1. Typical Program Structure for

JEL

Common delivery Modes for JEL are the following:

1. Committee work

Committees are small groups usually organized in the

school to perform specific functions or service, for
example, Enrolment Committee, Recognition Rites
Committee, Brigada Eskwela Committee. Assignment
in committees can develop competencies such as
self-management, team work, professional ethics,
results-based orientation, customer service
orientation, leadership, management, problem
solving, decision making, and communication skills.
For Committee Work, the school head coordinates
with the committee chair for a briefing on the
objective of the teacher’s assignment to the
committee, and to get feedback on the teacher’s
performance. The committee chair supervises and
coaches the teacher on matters related to committee
work. The school head also coaches the teacher, as
necessary, and facilitates processing of the teacher’s

12 | P a g e
 experience during and after the assignment. (See Box
2.)

2. Job Expansion (Vertical or Horizontal)

Job expansion, either vertical or horizontal expansion,

provides additional challenge to teachers. This can
be used to develop the teacher’s potential to perform
higher positions. Vertical job expansion or job
enrichment is giving a teacher additional duties and
responsibilities that can develop leadership,
management skills and teacher’s competencies
depending on the nature of added duties and
responsibilities. Horizontal expansion or job
enlargement is adding tasks that are at the same level
of skill and responsibility of the teacher. Assigning a
teacher as Officer-in-Charge of a department or a

13 | P a g e
 Teacher-in-Charge of a school is an example of a
vertical job expansion or job enrichment while
assigning a teacher to be a demonstration teacher in
LAC sessions or in formal training programs is an
example of a horizontal expansion.

the activity design with appropriate signatories.

1. Job Shadowing

Job shadowing is partnering a teacher with a more

proficient teacher to enable the former to observe
and learn how the partner performs functions related
to instruction. In the process, the teacher also gets
insights into the organizational context and
challenges related to the teacher-partner’s job. This
may be used to develop leadership, management,
interaction, functional or job-related competencies
depending on the partner’s job or role in the school.
An example of this mode is assigning a beginning
teacher to partner with a highly proficient or
distinguished teacher or a master teacher.

2. Job Rotation

Job rotation or cross-training provides opportunities

for teachers to be assigned to different areas in the
school on a temporary basis to gain deeper
understanding of the core business and operations of
the school. The teachers maintain their job titles but
are designated to perform functions and
responsibilities of other positions. Depending on its
design, job rotation can be effective in broadening
organizational perspectives and developing
organizational sensitivity, functional and personal
effectiveness competencies, such as adaptability and
flexibility. This is done by giving teachers temporary
assignments to enhance their competencies. For
instance, a grade 2 teacher may be assigned as a
grade 3 teacher or a teacher-adviser of the Students
Publication may be assigned to be the teacher-
adviser of the Students Organization for Community
Extension.

designations of teachers as acting as officer-in-charge
of a department, in-charge of the school canteen or
wellness center, school supply officer, school
librarian, or leading the planning, organizing, and
execution of a school event such as Recognition Rites
of education partners, hosting a District or Division

5. Informal JEL Activities

Informal job-embedded learning activities are other

school activities that provide opportunities for
learning and development. These are usually
embedded in the performance of the teachers’
functions. School heads, department heads or master
teachers just need to be aware that these activities
can contribute to honing teacher’s proficiency in
specific competency areas, as follows:

a.Developing material displays or organizing

bulletin boards
b.Writing articles for posting or publication
c. Observing conduct of lessons
d.Analyzing students’ performance

B. Relationship and Discussion-Based Learning

This L&D modality is also sometimes referred to as social

or exposure learning. This provides opportunities for
teachers to interact with their school head, department
heads, supervisors, peers, and colleagues in education.
The discussion that happens become the springboard
for learning.

18 | P a g e
The typical JEL program management structure applies if
the immediate supervisor is the coach or the mentor. In
cases when another person is identified as the coach or
mentor, the supervisor collaborates with this person to
ensure that the purpose of the intervention is clear and
to get feedback on the learning progress of the teacher
as the coachee or mentee. (See Box 5.)

Common Delivery Modes

1. Coaching

Coaching is an L&D modality that helps coaches gain

clarity about what they want to achieve and how to
achieve it. It is a solution-focused and an action-
oriented intervention that aims to enhance the
coachees’ performance. The essence of coaching is
to inspire awareness, responsibility, and independent
thinking. Thus, the effectiveness of coaching hinges
on the coaches’ belief on the capability of the
coachees to find the best solutions for themselves as
well as the coaches’ competence in listening and
asking powerful questions. Supervisors, school
heads, department heads, co-teachers and even
external stakeholders can be coaches of teachers,
provided that there is a coaching contract or

19 | P a g e
agreement (either formal or informal) between the
coach and the coachee approved by the school head.

the activity design with appropriate signatories.

2. Mentoring

Mentoring is an L&D approach that is applied for both

the personal and professional development of
teachers. It is a collaborative learning relationship
between two or more individuals who share mutual
responsibility and accountability for helping the
mentee work towards achievement of clearly defined
learning goals. Mentoring often involves skillful
coaching, as well as the use of other L&D
opportunities like job shadowing, attendance to
meetings, etc. Mentoring is highly process-oriented

21 | P a g e
 and can focus on broader and intangible learning
goals (e.g., understanding organizational culture) as
well as on more tangible goals (e.g., developing
teachers’ competencies). Unlike coaching where
coaches may come from outside the organization,
mentors usually come from within the organization.3

3. Peer-Assisted Learning

As an L&D modality, peer-assisted learning (PAL) is

characterized by reciprocity of learning among
teachers with equal status, such as co-grade 1
teachers, co-science teachers and others in a school.
In this modality, two teachers agree to help each
other achieve their common learning objectives. It
may involve regularly scheduled sessions focusing on
collaborative discussion and sharing, rather than
teaching.4

4. Communities of Practice (CoP)

A community of practice is a group of people within

the teaching community who share a common
passion, a common concern, a set of problems, or an
interest in a topic for the purpose of creating better
solutions, sharing or advancing their professional
practice and fulfilling the individual and group goals.
CoPs often focus on sharing best practices and
creating new knowledge to advance a domain of
professional practice. Interaction on an ongoing basis
is an important part of a CoP.

A Community of Practice (COP) that is exclusive to a

school will also have the supervisor or a designated
program manager. However, since teachers may join
COPs that are outside of the school, the supervisor or
a designated person may perform the role of a
learning facilitator who will process, monitor, and
evaluate the teachers’ learning as a result of their

23 | P a g e
 participation in COPs.

C. Formal Learning Activities

Formal learning interventions like training courses,

conferences, seminars, etc. have a more defined program
management structure, owing to the multiple tasks that
need to be accomplished especially if these are to be
implemented in-house in a face-to-face setting.

Box 7 shows a typical program management structure for

training courses, seminars and conferences. The team
composition may be adjusted depending on the coverage
of the intervention and number of learners. (For example,
the roles of Logistics Officer and Welfare Officer may be

24 | P a g e
 performed by one person; the Project Manager may also
take on the role of a Learning Manager; or the
documentation may be performed by the secretariat, if
the intervention has a short duration and small number of
learners.)

and Conferences

D. Learning Action Cell (LAC)

LAC aims to develop and support successful teachers by

nurturing their knowledge, attitudes, and competencies
in terms of curriculum, instruction, and assessment in
their work stations. In the LAC, a group of teachers
engages in collaborative learning sessions to address
common learning needs or solve shared challenges
encountered in the school facilitated by the school head
or a designated LAC leader. LAC will become the school-
based COPs that are positive, caring, and safe spaces.

There are four delivery modes for LAC: group learning,

one-on-one learning, supported self-managed learning,
and multi-school learning activities.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
RESOURCE PACKAGE DEVELOPMENT FOR
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (TPD)
A. Definition

Learning and Development Resource Package Development

(LDRPD) for TPD is the subsystem for preparing gender-
sensitive and teacher context-responsive iinstructional
delivery5 and TPD materials6 that will support the
implementation of L&D interventions to facilitate teachers’
acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and
application back on the job.

B. Purpose

The subsystem provides processes for identifying,

conceptualizing, producing, and evaluating quality and
responsive learning resource packages based on the L&D
intervention design.

Outputs of this subsystem are resource packages for the

different learning modalities.

C. LDRPD General Guidelines

1. Process
5
Instructional delivery materials refer to facilitator’s session guide and related references, presentation materials, non-
print materials (e.g., video and other multi-media materials), activity materials, monitoring and evaluation tools (pre and
post-test questionnaire and post-intervention evaluation form). These may vary depending on the L&D modality.
6
TPD materials are handouts and brochures, worksheets and templates, manuals or tool kits, activity materials (e.g., case
studies, structured learning exercises, etc.), learning journal or diary, and job aids. These also vary based on the L&D
modality that will be used.

D. LDRPD Key Processes

Developing learning resource packages is initiated and
managed by the PMT and supported by internal and/or
external subject matter or technical experts.12

The following processes guide the learning resource package

development:

1. Prepare the resource package for unique needs with support from the PMT.
2. Identify available learning resource materials and make a decision to adopt, customize, or develop a
new resource package.
3. Based on the review process, make a decision to:
3.1. adopt the existing resource package,
3.2. adapt the existing resource package and align it to current intervention requirements, or
3.3. develop a new resource package.
4. If existing resource package will be adopted, evaluate and validate the package.
5. If existing resource package will be adapted or modified, evaluate and validate the package, and
finalize based on evaluation results.
6. Submit for final review and approval of the school head.

Below is the simplified process flow of resource package development.

 Annex A
Commonly Used Learning Resource Materials

1. Handouts

Handouts are printed materials usually given to learners

during or after a lecture or presentation. Following are
common types of handouts:13

a. Full lecture or presentation notes – provides full

copy of the lecture or presentation, including
images, graphs, etc. This is the most complete form
of a handout, and is intended as a takeaway
reference for the learner.
b. Summarized notes of lecture – provides bullet
points of the main topics. This is useful for
emphasizing a few critical points. This may be given
during the lecture so learners can use it for taking
notes while listening to the lecture.
c. Copies of slides and diagrams – provides a
framework for learners to follow a presentation.
Usually prepared with blank spaces for note taking of
learners during the presentation.

2. Templates

Templates are formatted learning tools provided to

learners to guide and facilitate accomplishment of tasks
or preparation of outputs. Common types of templates
are:

13
Mikits, J. (n.d.). The Use of Classroom Handouts. https://www.usma.edu/cfe/Literature/Mikits_09.pdf (accessed
19March2018)

42
 a. Form – ready to fill up material where learners
supply data to questions or headings. Examples:
Participant Information Form and Post Training
Program Evaluation Form
b. Worksheet – usually contains questions or headings
to guide learners in performing a task and record
work progress. Examples: Problem Analysis
Worksheet and Training Activity Plan Template
c. Checklist – contains a comprehensive list of
important items to be considered (e.g., when
assessing something) or actions to be taken when
completing a task. Examples: L&D Design Quality
Checklist and Training Logistics Checklist

3. Activity Materials

These are usually developed to support the

administration of learning activities. Common types:

a. Structured learning exercise materials – contain

activity scenarios and instructions for learners
b. Case study materials – contain narrative or
description of scenarios and problems designed to
trigger critical analysis and identification of problem
causes and proposed solutions

4. Manuals
Sometimes referred to as handbook or toolkit, these
contain guidelines and instructions on how to carry out a
particular function or task. Usually given for learners’ use
during the actual conduct of the L&D activity, as well as a
43
 job aid to facilitate learning transfer on the job. Example:
Learning Action Cell Management Toolkit
5. Electronic media
Common electronic media learning resources include
video recordings, audio recordings, multimedia
presentations, slide presentation, CD-ROM and online
content. Although electronic media can be in either
analog or digital format, most new media are now
digital.14
6. Session Guide
A session guide outlines the detailed process and
content that the learning facilitator will follow to achieve
each learning session objective. It also contains time
allocation and learning resource materials needed to
deliver each session. The session guide is developed
based on the detailed L&D activity plan.
(Please refer to Appendix VI-C for Session Guide
Template, Main L&D System Manual.)
