ACTIVITY 1. Read the LDM Course Overview. Reflect on the overview by answering the
following questions. Write down your insights in your Study Notebook.
1. What is the main delivery of this course?
 The Learning Delivery Modalities Course 2 is a task-oriented course. The delivery of
this course is an urgent action of Deped to this ongoing pandemic as also part of
Deped’s Learning Continuity Plan. The main concern of this course is to deliver
education to learners in this new normal settings by using Self Learning Modules
prepared by selected teachers which are designed for self study.
2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the
“new normal”?
 This course will be a great help to teachers to prepared for this distant learning in this
new normal situation so that they can ensure the delivery of quality instruction. It also
helps teachers to gain knowledge, skills, and mindset that are necessary for this new
teaching and learning way.

3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this course?
 The two support mechanisms that can help me with this course are the seminars that
I’ve attended and the learnings that I will gain from the facilitators and my co-
teachers. Through this insight sharing with the group, I know that I will get new
knowledge and skills that I can I apply in a new way of teaching.

ACTIVITY 2. Answer the following questions by copying and filling out the table in your Study
Notebook.
1. How will my personal characteristics and circumstances affect (positively or negatively) my
participation in this course?
 I think my willingness and eagerness to learn will have a big part in my participation in
this course. I am willing to learn new knowledge and skills that I can apply in this new
way of teaching. On the other hand, I can’t also deny that due to overload of paer
works and other tasks, I got easily tired and pressured.
2. How can I ensure that I am able to sustain my strengths and address the obstacles that will
hinder me from completing this course?
 By having a positive outlook and willingness to learn, I think I can overcome whatever
challenges I may face in completing this course. And also, with the help of my co-
teachers and superiors.

LESSON 2: ORGANIZING YOUR LEARNING ACTION CELL (LAC)

ACTIVITY 1. Begin by refreshing your memory on the Learning Action Cell. Read DepEd Order
No. 35 s. 2016 titled “The Learning Action Cell as the K to 12 Basic Education Program
SchoolBased Continuing Professional Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching
and Learning.” Once you’re done, answer the following questions. Write your responses and
any other ideas and reflections in your Study Notebook.

1. Reflect on the objectives for conducting LAC sessions as listed in DO 35, s. 2016. Rank the
following objectives from easiest to the most difficult to achieve:
 1- To nurture successful teachers
 2- To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students
  3- To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content
and pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
 4- To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School Heads, teachers, and the
community as a whole

2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate.
 Bulk Reports – It is really hard to focus on the LDM 2 Course when there are other
paper work or duties that we teachers, should accomplish
 Poor Internet Connection – Unstable internet connection affects the performance and
participation of the members.
 Lack of computer knowledge – Some teachers are still coping up with the changes in
our technology right now that makes it hard for them to participate actively in the
discussion.

MODULE 2: MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES (MELCs)

LESSON 1: BACKGROUND, RATIONALE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF MELCS

ACTIVITY 1. Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:

1. The closure of schools around the world due to the global pandemic posed serious challenges
on the delivery of quality basic education. As a teacher, what do you think are the fundamental
concerns in terms of curriculum standards that need to be addressed in order to ensure
learning continuity? Cite a specific example. Do you think these concerns could be solved by
teachers alone? Why or why not?
 The fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum standards is how can the
competencies be mastered by the learners since there is no face to face learning.
Teachers cannot do it alone because there should be partnership between the
teachers and the parents who assist the learnings of their children

2. Even prior to the spread of COVID-19 that eventually led to the closure of schools
nationwide, the congested curriculum has been a perennial problem of teachers (Andaya,
2018). This is perceived to be one of the hindering factors on the poor performance of Filipino
learners. Do you agree with this observation? Why or why not?
 The congested curriculum is not only the problem that affects learner’s performance
in school. Some of our learners did master the fundamental skills that are being
stressed out before in teaching process.

ACTIVITY 2. Familiarize yourself with the course reading on the Development and Design of the
MELCs. After going through the document, provide a brief and concise response to the
following guide questions. Write your answers in your Study Notebook.

1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
 MELCs general aim is to concentrate on the most essential competencies a learner
required to learn and to uphold the quality of the curriculum.

2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning competencies?
 It will inform us to determine the most essential and attainable competencies that can
be reached both the learners and the teachers and can be conveyed by the parents.

3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable learning
competencies?
 Most Essential Learning Competencies or MELC, according to DepEd, “are defined as
what the students need, considered indispensable, in the teaching-learning process to
building skills to equip learners for subsequent grade levels and subsequently, for
lifelong learning. On the other hand, desirable learning competencies were defined as
what may enhance education but may not be necessary in building foundational skills.
4. How were the most essential learning competencies identified? What were the decisions
made in order to trim down the number of the essential learning competencies further?
 The most essential learning skills listed provided the participants with different
characteristics to help them select which of the most important learning skills. It could
have retained, dropped, or merged the learning competency.

5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction?
 MELCs servers as teacher’s guides in preparing our lesson and instructional materials.
It ensures delivery of quality instruction as it becomes the primary reference in
determining and implementing learning delivery approaches that are suited to the
local context and diversity of learners while adapting to the challenges posed by
COVID-19.
ACTIVITY 4. In your LAC Session, discuss and share your answers to Activities 1-3 in this lesson.
Discuss any questions about the MELCs that need clarification as well. Share your thoughts and
let your co-teachers articulate their insights regarding your questions. Jot down all the insights
shared in the discussion, including your own, in your Study Notebook.
 Identification of whether the competency is to be maintained, dropped, or merged is
important. It helps us to identify the essential skills need to be taught to the learners.
Thus, determining the MELCs helps teachers to clearly identify the competencies
needed in the learning delivery during this new normal education.

LESSON 2: UNPACKING AND COMBINING MELCS INTO LEARNING OBJECTIVES

ACTIVITY 1. Familiarize yourself with the course reading on Unpacking and Combining the
MELCs. After reading the document, provide a brief and concise response to the following guide
questions in your Study Notebook:
1. What is the importance of unpacking and combining the MELCs?
 It is important to unpacked MELCs for us to systemized the learning activities and
effectively address the varying needs of learners and the challenges of the
instructional delivery.

2. What considerations must be taken in unpacking and combining the MELCs? Explain each.
 Retained – Meets the criterion of strength, contributes to the life long learning
process and is a pre-requisite skill.
 Merged – Two or more learning skills which have the same goals or objectives are
combined into one comprehensive learning skill.
 Dropped – The learning competency is too specific.

3. Do all the MELCs need to be unpacked or combined? Why or why not?

 The teacher may unpacked or combined the MELCS depends on sequence of the
lesson, the progress and needs of learners as long as the content and standard will be
achieved.

MODULE 3A: DESIGNING INSTRUCTION IN THE DIFFERENT LEARNING
DELIVERY MODALITIES

LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT LDMs

ACTIVITY 1. Do a quick check of your knowledge of the four modalities prescribed in the LCP—
faceto-face (F2F) learning, DL, blended learning (BL), and homeschooling. In your own words,
define each modality. Write your own definitions in your Study Notebook. When you are done,
check Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 1 to see how well you did. Now, answer this question:
Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component? Write down your answer in your
Study Notebook, then check it against Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 2.
 Face-to-face (F2F) learning refers to a learning delivery modality where the teacher and
learner/s are physically in one venue. There are opportunities for active engagement,
immediate feedback and socioemotional development of learners. It may be conducted
in any available physical learning space.

 Distance learning refers to a learning delivery modality where a learner is given

materials or access to resources and he/she undertakes self-directed study at home or
in another venue. Learners engage in independent learning at home or in any physical
learning space applicable, by using learning materials that are accessible either online,
stored on CD/DVD/USB Flash drive, or in printed form, or by viewing TV lessons or
listening to radio-based instruction while being geographically distant from the teacher.
The teacher supervises and monitors the learner’s progress and provides remediation
and enhancement when needed and possible. Assistance may be provided by a learning
facilitator who may be a parent or any member of the family, or a community
stakeholder.

 Blended learning refers to a learning delivery modality using a combination of the

features of F2F learning and distance learning. It can be (1) F2F and modular distance
learning; (2) F2F and online distance learning; (3) F2F and TV-based instruction/Radio-
based instruction; or (4) F2F and any combination of the other types of distance
learning.

 Home schooling refers to an alternative learning delivery mode (ADM) that provides
learners with access to formal education while staying in an out-of-school environment,
with parents, guardians, or tutors as authorized facilitators instead of classroom
teachers. This does not preclude going to a school on specific periods to develop
learning competencies that require the use of laboratory, equipment, and others. It uses
any or a combination of the various learning delivery modalities.

ACTIVITY 3. Consider the situation in your School/Division—your organizational capabilities,

your level of resources (infrastructure, financial, human), level of experience in DL, health and
safety status, context and capacities of your learners and their households, etc.
Then rank the DL types—MDL, ODL, TVBI, RBI, and BL—from easiest to most difficult to
implement. Give the reasons for your ranking of each. Replicate the following table and write
your answers in your Study Notebook.
Be prepared to discuss your ranking at your next LAC Session.

Ranking (1 to 5, from easiest

to hardest to implement) Type of DL Why?

1 Modular For me this one is the easiest because it

does not require internet connections
although giving feedback and mastering
the lesson are considered as
disadvantages in this modality.
2 Online Learning Not all students have internet
connections that is why this modality is a
bit challenging on the part of the
learners who does not have any access
to the internet.
3 RBI This is third to the easiest because
students can access learning through
radio.
4 TVBI This beneficial for the learners but there
are also some students who does not
have television.
5 Blended Learning Due to the pandemic, it is still uncertain
if face to face learning is allowed so
blended learning is the hardest to
implement

LESSON 2: DESIGNING LESSONS AND ASSESSMENTS IN THE DIFFERENT LDMs

ACTIVITY 1.
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As you go through the
document, write down your answers to the following questions in your Study Notebook:

1. What is Lesson Designing or Lesson Planning?

 Lesson designing or Lesson planning is the process of determining what learning
opportunities students will have by planning the content of the instruction, selecting
teaching materials, and designing the learning activities.

2. Why is lesson designing important?

 It provide teachers with an opportunity for reflection on what learners need to learn,
how learners learn, and how best to facilitate the learning process

3. What are the three elements or components of a well-designed lesson?

 Clearly articulated lesson objectives (What should be taught?)

 Well-selected and logically sequenced presentation of learning resources and actities

to help learners meet the objectives. (How should it be taught?)

 Appropriate and timely assessment activities that provide relevant information and
feedback for both teacher and learners. (How should learning be assessed?)
ACTIVITY 2. The second component of a well-designed lesson asks teachers to select and
sequence teaching and learning activities that would help learners meet the learning objectives.
These learning tasks can be presented

(1) before the lesson, 2) during the lesson proper, 3) after the lesson.
1. Review previous lesson 1. Demonstrate, and illustrate 1. Wrap up activities
2. Clarify concepts from the concepts, ideas, skills, or 2. Emphasize key information
previous lesson processes that students will and concepts discussed
3. Present warm-up activities to eventually internalize 3. Ask learners to recall key

5. Present connection between 4. Check for learners’ 5. Assess whether lesson has
old and new lesson and understanding been mastered
establish purpose for new 6. Transfer ideas and concepts
lesson to new situations
6. State lesson objectives as
guide for learners

ACTIVITY 5. Assessment is always a part of designing instruction. Read the DO 8, s2015 on

Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment to learn about assessment.
In the policy, you will find out about the two types of assessment: formative and summative.
Take note of the similarities and differences between the two. Write your answers in a Venn
diagram in your Study Notebook. Follow the example below.

ACTIVITY 7. Sample learning outputs obtained

from different assessment methods may be collected to build
a learner’s portfolio. Read Guidelines on the Preparation of Portfolio and e-Portfolio to find out
how to construct and use it.
After reading the references, answer the following quiz to check your understanding
about using a portfolio to assess the learner.

 MODULE 3B: LEARNING RESOURCES

LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAPS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

ACTIVITY 1. The DepEd Memorandum on Suggested Strategies in Implementing LDMs for SY

2020-2021 included the Learning Resources (LR) Map as a guide in selecting the appropriate
Distance LDM to be implemented in Schools/Divisions. Study this map and answer the following
questions in your Study Notebook:
1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the LDM adopted
by your School/Division?
 Due to the location of the school where it does not have an established internet
connection, our school implements modular learning where in printed self learning
modules were distributed to each learner.

2. Do you have the complete resources for the Distance LDM needed in class? If the LRs are not
complete or not available, what steps will you take to make these available? What are your
options to substitute these missing LRs?
 Before the opening of classes, our division has started to prepare different learning
resources for modular learning. Teachers made Learning Activity Sheets as an
additional learning resources for modular learning. Teachers also made some
innovations in order to deliver learning through modular approach.

3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR Portals?
From whom can you get this support?
 Using the SDOIN link of ready to print learning resources help us to easily find and
obtain our needed SLMs.

4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level and
characteristics of learners? Are there learners who might be disadvantaged by the materials
(based on reading ability, level of learning independence, level of household support, distance)?
What adjustments will you make in terms of the LRs?
 For me it will be appropriate if we will use the correct assessment tools because we
are the ones who knows our learners.

ACTIVITY 2. In your LAC Session, share and discuss your answers from the previous activity.
What support can you provide to your colleagues and what support can you get from them in
terms of LRs? Take note of the insights that you can gather from your colleagues and write
them in your Study Notebook.

LESSON 2: ACCESSING LEARNING RESOURCES FROM DepEd PORTALS

Activity 1. Explore the Portals. In your Study Notebook, answer the following questions:

1. Given the LDM adopted in your School, how can the two DepEd portals respond to your LR
needs and those of your learners’? How do they complement the LRs that you already have?
  For me, these two portals respond by meeting the needs of the teachers and learners.
Also, these portals aligned their activities according to the competencies that is why it
is flexible and ready to use.

2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your learners?
How will you overcome these challenges?
 You must have a strong internet connection access this portals.

3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From whom
can you get this support?
 We need the support from ICT Coordinator to help us implement the use of LR Portals
not only for the teachers but as well as also for the learners.

LESSON 3: ASSESSING THE LR MATERIALS

ACTIVITY 1. Study the LR Rapid Assessment Tool. Download an LR from either DepEd Commons
or LRMDS Portal and assess the material using the tool. Answer the following questions in your
Study Notebook:
1. Was the material able to meet all the requirements?
 Yes, the material was able to meet all the requirements.

2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or “Cannot Be
Determined”? What decision will you make on the LR material? Why?
 Yes, I will study it first before giving it to my learners.

3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be assessed?
Specify which aspect/s.
 None
4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and
your learners?
 It makes me pick the right LR by looking at the data of the checklist.

ACTIVITY 4. Share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activities 1, 2, and 3 in your
next LAC Session. Jot down insights and information that can be useful to you in choosing the
appropriate LRs.
 In choosing the appropriate LRs we must consider the following:
- Most essential Learning Competencies
- Appropriateness of every material used including the content and the language
- Accessibility, if it is easy to reproduce
- The author or the uploader
- Layout, graphics, design, and infographics

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MODALITIES

LESSON 1 - THE TEACHING PORTFOLIO AND ITS CONTENTS

ACTIVITY 1. Before you begin to prepare building your Portfolio, you need to make sure that
you have completed all the outputs for this course. Go over the list found in LDM2 Guide for
Expected
Outputs and find out whether you have completed all the outputs required for Modules 1-4 of
this course.

Submit the completed outputs to your designated Coach for final evaluation. Keep a copy of
all your outputs for your own records.

NOTE: OUTPUTS SUBMITTED ALREADY

ACTIVITY 2.
Study the Reading on Portfolios from the Glossary of Education Reform. Based on your reading,
reflect on the following questions and jot down your answers in your Study Notebook:

1. How will your Portfolio help you in tracking the progress of your teaching practice in your
School’s LDM?

 Portfolios are intended to evaluate learning progress and achievement in a specific

course, by completing my portfolio in LAC sessions about LDMs I am now ready for the
challenge of the new normal in education. I am now fully capable of preparing my
lesson plans/weekly home learning plans and in choosing the appropriate LRs to
supplement the SLMs. Moreover, my portfolio will contain the portfolios also of my
learners for me to keep track of the learning progress of my learners so that I know
WHAT AND HOW TO IMPROVE in my teaching strategies in line with PMDL.

2. What evidence from the previous modules will help capture the progress of your teaching
practice?
 I learned how to make an individual development plan where I can assess my
weakness and strength in terms of my teaching practices. One example is
analyzing to what domain do I need to focus more and make a development plan
on that. From the previous module, the following evidences will help monitor my
teaching practice:
- Unpacking of Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)
- Learning Task for DL
- Weekly Home Learning Plan
- Individual Learning Monitoring Plan

3. Why is writing down your reflections an integral part of your Portfolio?

 Reflection is an integral part of my portfolio because it serves as the soul of what I’ve
learned towards the activity or course. Through writing a reflection, I can tell my ideas
or thoughts that I have gained from the topic or session.
ACTIVITY 3. Familiarize yourself with the List of Suggested Evidence Form. Is the list of evidence
enough to capture the progress of your teaching practice? What other evidence can you think
of that is relevant to the LDM adopted by your School? Write down your answers and other
insights in your Study Notebook.

 The list of evidence in the learning delivery modality is enough at the moment.
Although of course there might be something else that need to be included as we go
on to the implementation of the DL through the MDL. In the future LACs, surely our
group will suggest of other strategies to use and henceforth the evidences to prepare.

LESSON 2: THE EVALUATION RUBRIC

ACTIVITY 1. Study the criteria and indicators found in the Evaluation Rubric. What steps will you
take to ensure that you are able to hit the criteria in the Rubric? Write down your answers and
any other thoughts about the Rubric in your Study Notebook.
 I will make sure that I have access to the things I need before, during and after the
implementation phases of the school LCP. Making sure that I am well aware of every
step and in documenting every single thing that’s happening along the way. I shall
also be guided with the rubrics at hand to ensure that I am on track and that the
Professional Standards are met.

ACTIVITY 2. Discuss and share your thoughts on the Rubric in your LAC Session. Present your
steps to make your outputs and Portfolio responsive to the evaluation criteria and indicators.
Take note of your colleagues’ other insights as well.

MY REFLECTION
 “Learning in the New Normal”
by: Ma. Kristell Ann P. Encarnacion

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live. Our lives have been
affected in so many ways. Following public policy toward mitigation of this
dreaded illness has turned our lives upside down. Our stress and anxieties are
peaked by the fear of contracting coronavirus as we see each day the numbers of
confirmed positive cases and deaths from COVID-19. Above all, learning process
of a learner was being compromised due to this pandemic. The pandemic posed
serious challenges on the delivery of quality education. The Department of
Education made a lot adjustments so that learning still continues amidst this
pandemic. The Department of Education does its aid best to aid the different
problems that may encounter for the new normal education. Thus, DepEd
released the Learning Continuity Plan that aims to focus on what the students
really need to learn and accomplish. And as part of this LCP, is the Learning
Delivery Modalities Course for teachers that would help and equip them to be
more effective on this new kind of teaching-learning process.

The pandemic posed serious challenges not only on the delivery of quality
education but for the teachers as well. In the implementation of the learning
delivery modalities, issues and concerns were raised among the students, parents,
and the teachers. In our school where modular learning is being implemented as
the learning modality, issues and concerns in the Self-Learning Modules was seen
as a problem to the learners. They were hard up to accomplished the activities
the activities in the SLMs that is why learners opted to choose only to answer
activities they want. Thus, attaining the learning competencies is compromised.
Moreover, slow learners tend not be able to cope up with the modules provided.

They have difficulty in understanding the lessons and as a result, they got
low scores in the assessment. In the implementation of modular learning, it was
also shown that students have poor study habit. They do not know how to
manage their time properly and this led them to the late submission of works and
incomplete activity sheets. Class schedules and even a weekly guide was given to
each student, but some do not follow it.

With these issues and concerns were being raised, we teachers made some
interventions to address these. One is establishing an active group chat for each
class to monitor students’ progress in their modules. The learners are constantly
reminded to accomplish the activities in the module. As well as to inform them of
their additional activities through this social media platform. A help desk was also
established to cater the queries and concerns of the learners. In addition, a follow
up activity/lesson was also given to the learner/s who lag behind in their modules.

To sum it up, the implementation of the Learning Delivery Modalities is a

challenging one at the start of this new normal education. I learned a lot in in the
implementation of this. I learned to be patient and understanding towards my
learners, parents, and even co-teachers. This is a life learned lessons that we
teachers can use to achieved our goals in this next quarter of this new normal
education.
