LESSON 1 – 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 the course?

The Learning Delivery Modalities Course 2. (LDM2) for teachers is a task-

oriented course that combines guided study using self-learning modules and
co- learning and collaboration through the Learning Action Cell (LAC). The
modules are designed for self study, without a trainer or instructor to assist
the learner participant. Lessons are self-contained and include readings or
video tutorials, activities, quizzes and reflection points.

2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction
in the “new normal”?

Learners and teachers are entering an unprecedented time of distance

learning due to COVID19 Pandemic. This LDM2 Course will prepare teachers
with knowledge, skills and mindsets that would be necessary for the new
school year in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction in the “new
normal”. Lessons on how to adapt to teaching through alternative modes
were included to effectively reach and teach our learners.

3. What are the two support mechanism that will help you with your learning in this
course?

The two support mechanism that will help me with my learning in this course
are the following:
 a. The course itself, for art the end of this, I will be able to know the
different learning delivery modalities and platforms. It will also enable
me to plan for the implementation of the school adopted LDMs, prepare
learning materials and resources needed for the LDM and be confident
enough in executing lessons in the new LDM.
b. The Collaboration with my Co-teachers and coaches for at various points
in the modules we will need convene for a LAC session to discuss a
particular lesson and/or to collaborate on specific task.

LESSON 2 – ACTIVITY 1

Begin by refreshing your memory on the learning actions cell. Read DepED Order No. 35
s. 2016 titled “ The Learning Action Cell as the K to 12 Basic Education Program School-
Based 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:

To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students

To nurture successful teachers

To enable teachers support each other to continuously improve their content and
pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes

To foster a professional collaborative spirit among school heads, teachers, and the
community as a whole.

Therefore, Teachers should apply appropriate teaching strategies that best suit
specific objectives and level exit outcomes to facilitate the process of knowledge
transmission. In the traditional epoch, many teaching practitioners widely applied
 teacher-centered to impact knowledge to learner’s comparative to student-
centered. By these teachers play a significant role in the intellectual development of
the pupils using various assessments and teaching strategies to improve pupil’s
performance in school’s subject. The position of teachers shows the invaluable
importance to effective teaching and learning. It is therefore certain that pupils
would not benefit much from learning, where teachers are not competent.

2. What are the top 3 challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate.

1. Schedulling
● Falls on a busy schedule
● Overlap with teacher’s other activities
● Sometime NO prior notice on the timing of LAC
● Time exceeded beyond time allotment
● Time constraints
● Coincide with the submission of reports
● Missed the session due to the busy schedule

2. Communication-Barrier (during these times if pandemic)

● Unavailability and unstable internet access to remote areas
● Lack of knowledge in using online platforms for online conferencing
● Stressful environment
3. LAC Activities
● Topics are not universal, other teachers can’t apply topics
● Common and familiar content

Less preparation for the materials and resources

LESSON 2 – ACTIVITY 2

According to DO 35, s, 2016, a LAC should have no less than 2 but not more than
15 members each. Get in touch with your designated Coach or LAC leader in forming
your LACs.

1. Agree on a date and time to meet and discuss forming your LACs. Follow LAC
Session 1 Guide for the conduct of your LAC.
2. During this meeting , decide on your groupings and designate one LAC facilitator and
one LAC Leader per LAC.
3. Note the following in forming your LACs.
 ● 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 teacher 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 Instructional Coach will also be handling multiple LACs through a network of LAC Leaders.
