1st Division Learning Action Cell

Bicol Regional Science High School
“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is

success.” This quote from Henry Ford bespeaks a million worth of gold in learning. This was once
again made evident as the Division of Ligao City commenced its 1st Division Learning Action Cell
(DLAC), where the Science and Mathematics teachers of DepEd Ligao City reunited as they
attended the said session at the Bicol Regional Science High School (BRSHS) on November 23,
2018.
This year’s DLAC session started with a simple opening program at 8:00 AM with Mrs. Joy
Navera, and Mrs. Lilli – Ann Hermogenes, the EPS in Science and EPS in Mathematics,
respectively, who warmly welcomed each participant for the whole – day session/workshop
together with the head of the host school, Mrs. Cristina B. Relleve.
The breakout session began with an election of officers that will constitute the entire body
of Math teachers in the division. “It was actually one of my old dreams to form a formal set of
officers that will represent the group of Mathematics teachers in Ligao City because ever since, I
find it hard to appoint personnel who would facilitate a particular event in Math,” said Mrs.
Hermogenes before she opened the room for the formal election of officers.
Mr. Ryan Casulang, teacher of Ligao National High School presided the said election with
Ms. Diane Requiza, faculty member of BRSHS, who acted as the secretary. After the election,
the group had the consensus to name the organization as MATALI which stands for MAthematics
Teachers’ Association of Ligao. The following names comprise the set of MATALI officers:
President: Ryan Casulang

Vice President: Cherryl Lita
Secretary: Jeric Dino
Treasurer: Mergar Pomuceno
Auditor: Honorio Obiasca Jr.
P.I.O: Raymond Cipriano

G8: Annie Rose Lucinisio

G10: Larry Orcio
In order to orient the teachers of the conduct of this year’s LAC session, Mrs. Hermogenes
discussed to the group, during the breakout session, the foundation of learning action cell through
the DepEd Order No. 35 s.2016. Here, it was also stressed that LAC sessions are avenues for a
continuing professional development so as to improve the teaching – learning process as a whole.
It was also emphasized by the Math Education Program Supervisor the importance of
collaboration in teaching since one of the aims of the LAC session is for the Math teachers of the
division to engage in collaborative learning and to solve shared challenges being encountered in
their respective classroom settings. And according to the supervisor, there was really a need for
a LAC session since it was what she found out after assessing the needs of the community (needs
assessment) together with her team in the SDO.
After this, Ms. Requiza discussed to the group the different teaching strategies that will
lead to collaboration in learning including collaborative teaching, Inquiry – based teaching, 5Es
(Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) and Explicit Teaching. She also emphasized how
important in the teaching – learning process to engage the students in problem – based learning
by contextualizing, localizing, and indigenizing certain mathematical competencies because
students cannot only seize the abstract means of the subject matter but they can also solve real
– life problems because they actually experience and understand how these processes work. But
prior to this discussion, the teachers were grouped according to what grade level they’re teaching
in.
In the afternoon, each group was given time to have a small group discussion and
brainstorm ideas on how to craft a lesson exemplar focusing on certain mathematical learning
competencies. But in order to give the teachers a background, Ms. Requiza provided template
and examples that will serve as a guide for each group along the process. The task for each group
was to select at least one learning competency per quarter for each Grade Level and design/craft
a lesson plan following the matrix given by the facilitator.
At 3:30 PM, each group was asked to select a lesson exemplar to be presented in front of
the group. The Grade 10 teachers presented first with Mr. Ryan Casulang sharing a localized
lesson setting featuring the picture of the Last Supper statue found in Kawa – Kawa Hill as a
springboard for Quartiles as a measure of position. This was followed by the presentation of Grade
9 teachers with Ms. Elena Renegado sharing a contextualized lesson setting focusing on the fare
as reflected over the distance travelled per kilometer – a representation for the topic Variation.
This was then followed by the presentation of Grade 8 teachers with Mr. Mergar Pomuceno
sharing a lesson exemplar featuring the different topographies found in Maonon and neighboring
coastal barangays as a way to highlight the Probability of simple event. Lastly, Mr. Honorio
Obiasco shared with the group the lesson exemplar crafted by the Grade 7 teachers a localized
lesson highlighting the concept of Sets. Each of these presentations were given points for
improvement by the (KO’s) knowledgeable others.
Awarding of certificates of participation and appearance for each participating school was
held thereafter.
