RATIONALE

As an institution of learning, the Department of Education

(DepEd) works to protect and promote the right of Filipinos to
quality basic education that is equitable, culture-based, and
complete, and allows them to realize their potential and
contribute meaningfully to building the nation.
RATIONALE

The investment of the DepEd in the development of human potential is

a commitment it makes not only to its learners but also its teachers.
Towards this end, the DepEd fully supports the continuing professional
development of its teaching personnel based on the principle of lifelong
learning and the view of the teaching profession as one that “requires
teachers expert knowledge and specialized skills, acquired and
maintained through rigorous and continuing study” (UNESCO 1966).
RATIONALE

Organizing professional learning communities will aid

teachers in the construction of new knowledge about
instruction as well as in revising traditional beliefs and
assumptions about education, community, teaching,
and learning (Little 2003) to suit the present needs of
learners.
POLICY STATEMENT

Ensure teachers’ continuing professional

development (CPD) within the framework of
School-Based Management (SBM) and
embodied in the School Improvement Plans
(SIPs)
POLICY STATEMENT

In the DepEd, a Learning Action Cell is a group of

teachers who engage in collaborative learning sessions
to solve shared challenges encountered in the school
facilitated by the school head or a designated LAC
Leader. LACs will become the school-based
communities of practice that are positive, caring, and
safe spaces.

• LACs should be composed of teachers. Discuss your preferred LAC composition with your
assigned Instructional Coach (this will be a district or division supervisor assigned to your LAC).
• After forming your respective LACs, there should a LAC Leader assigned to you from among
the following school members:
» Master Teacher
» Head Teacher/Department Head
» Other senior teachers who have proven competence, potential to lead, or subject
expertise to lead the LAC.
• Teacher LACs can connect with their Instructional Coach through the LAC Leader. This
