1.Communication. It is necessary to make all things clear for a session to be successful.

2.Time Management. There were instances that the members’ schedule do not fit with each other.
 3.Continuity. The plan must be carried out all the way to achieve the desired outcome.

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 informing 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 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

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—face- to-face
(F2F) learning, DL, blended learning (BL), and homeschooling. In your own words, define each
modality. Write your own definitions. When you are done, check Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer
Key 1 to see how well you did.

Answers:

Now, answer this question: Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component?
Check it against Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 2.

Answer:

ACTIVITY 2

Read two documents: Guidance on Distance Learning and Non-Negotiable Minimum

Requirements for Distance Learning. As you go through the readings, complete the Distance
Learning Matrix. Share your completed matrix at your next LAC Session. Your goal is to come
to a shared understanding with your peers on the different DL modalities and their defining
features and requirements.

Note that when a vaccine is already available and F2F will be allowed by the Inter-Agency Task
Force (IATF) and by the local government unit (LGU) concerned, any of the DL modalities may
be combined with F2F learning to come up with a BL. Learn more about BL in the
Supplementary Handout on Blended 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.

ACTIVITY 4(Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)

The LCP assures that all possible measures will be taken to ensure that no child will be
excluded from learning during the COVID-19 crisis. Think about groups of learners in your
School/Division who might require special consideration to be able to participate in DL.
Describe what targeted interventions you would develop to include them. Listed below are
some examples which may be relevant to your context. Add others as appropriate. Write down
your answers and share your ideas at your next LAC Session.

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:
1. What is Lesson Designing or Lesson Planning?
Answer:
2. Why is lesson designing important?
Answer:
3. What are the three elements or components of a well-designed lesson?
Answer:

Compare your answers to those found in Lesson 2, Activity 1 Answer Key.

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, and (3)
after the lesson.

Before the Lesson Lesson Proper After the Lesson

Refer to the list of learning tasks below, and identify which section of the lesson these
learning activities can be presented by placing each task under the appropriate column.

List of Learning Tasks

1. Wrap up activities
2. Review previous lesson
3. Clarify concepts from previous lesson
4. State lesson objectives as guide for learners
5. Provide learners with feedback
6. Present connection between old and new lesson and establish purpose for new
lesson
7. Emphasize key information and concepts discussed
8. Assess whether lesson has been mastered
9. Check for learners’ understanding
 10. Explain, model, demonstrate, and illustrate the concepts, ideas, skills, or processes
that students will eventually internalize
11. Help learners understand and master new information
12. Ask learners to recall key activities and concepts discussed
13. Reinforce what teacher has taught
14. Transfer ideas and concepts to new situations
15. Present warm-up activities to establish interest in new lesson
Check learner’s prior knowledge about the new lesson Compare your answers to Lesson 2,
Activity 2 Answer Key.

ACTIVITY 3

Lesson design does not end after implementing the lesson. After the delivery of the lesson,
teachers should take time to reflect on what worked well and why, and what could have been
done differently. Identifying successful and less successful activities and strategies would make
it easier to adjust and revise the lesson plan as needed.

Highlight which part/s is/are accomplished after the lesson is delivered.

Integrating Content Across Learning Areas/Team Teaching

• You can check the MELCs for topics that may be integrated into other learning areas.
• You can team up to integrate lessons across learning areas. Integration of content
across learning areas maximizes time and helps learners make connections for better
understanding.
• You can use content topics as themes, motivation, springboards, or initial topics for
lessons across subjects. You can also try merging selected learning area performance
tasks and assessments and create separate rubrics for scoring per learning area. This
can make it easier for you to check student work, and saves time for you and the
learners.

Can you think of other ways of designing and implementing lessons that can enhance student
learning and maximize teacher preparation time? Don’t forget to check back with your Coach
and share them with your peers.
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. Follow the example below.

Summative
Formative

After completing the Venn diagram, look at Lesson 2, Activity 5 Answer Key to see the other
similarities and differences between the two types of assessments.

ACTIVITY 6(Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)

There are various methods of assessment. Read Table 2 of DO 8, s2015 on Policy Guidelines
on Classroom Assessment to see examples such as games, quizzes, and interviews. These
methods that are commonly used in the classroom may be modified to be suitable for DL.

Which assessment methods can you adapt in DL considering the content area that you are
teaching? Recreate the following table and list five methods that you would like to try. For each
one, write how you plan to use it in DL.

ACTIVITY 2(Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)

Read items 1 to 6 of the Appendix D of the DepEd Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00162which

discusses what WHLPs and Individual Learning Monitoring Plans (ILMPs) are. After that, view
the three Sample Weekly Home Learning Plans.

Now, based on what you have read, create a WHLP for your class. Take note of the following
when creating your WHLP:

• For grade levels where learning areas are taught by different teachers, coordinate,
plan, and discuss the WHLP with the learning area teachers.
• Adjustments should be made on the timeframe for accomplishing the learning tasks if
there are any suspensions of classes due to calamities (DepEd, 2020).
• Enjoyable learning activities scheduled on Saturdays such as designing portfolios,
should also be reflected in the WHLP.
• Be guided by the recommended screen time for learners set by the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) which are as
follows:
» Key Stage 1 (K to 3) – at most one hour daily for Kindergarten and one hour to 1.5
hours for Grades 1 to 3
 » Key Stage 2 (Grades 4 to 6) – up to two hours
» Key Stage 3 (Grade 7 to 10) – up to two hours for Grades 7 and 8 and up to four
hours (two in the morning and the other two in the afternoon) for Grades 9 and 10
» Key Stage 4 (Grades 11 to 12) – at most four hours (2 hours in the morning and
the other 2 hours in the afternoon)

Attach Weekly Home Learning Plan (WHLP)

Share your prepared WHLP during your LAC Session.

ACTIVITY 3

Read items 7 to 11 of the Appendix D of DepEd Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00162. After you

read the guidelines on creating an ILMP, fill out the table below to see how the ILMP differs
from the WHLP.

ACTIVITY 4(Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)

Assume that after going through the outputs submitted by your learners, one of them has
problems completing the learning tasks for the first two weeks. Think of a possible difficulty the
learner may have encountered in accomplishing the learning tasks. Apply what you have
learned about ILMPs in Activity 3 and create an ILMP for that particular learner who lags
behind. Read and use the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan Template. Consider the
components of the ILMP that were described in Activity 3.

Source: DepEd Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00162

Share the ILMP that you made for that specific learner during your next LAC Session.

Check the Lesson 3, Activity 3 Answer Key to find out how well you did.

Remember also that in monitoring the progress of your learners, it is important to get in touch
with the household partner who provides assistance as needed while the learner is doing the
learning tasks at home.

Before leaving this Module, take note of the following key messages:

• There are no perfect lessons, but with careful planning, reflection, and continuous
adaptation before, during, and after lesson delivery, you will be able to design
lessons with your best efforts, and maximize learning in this new context.
• It is important for teachers to keep track of how the students are doing, get feedback
from the learners (learners’ self-assessment), and from the learning facilitators or
household partners, in order to continuously improve lessons and provide support for
learners as they learn.
• One way of getting feedback from learners is by communicating regularly with them
and their families. As teachers, you need to make your presence felt, and send the
message to the learners that they are not alone in this situation. This will greatly help
them stay motivated.
• As teachers, you are part of a larger community of learners, and would need support
from your Coaches, School Heads, and fellow teachers as you adapt to the new normal.

Now, coordinate with your LAC Leader regarding your LAC Session schedule for this module. Be
sure that you have your Module 3A outputs, Study Notebook, and LAC Session 3A Guide ready
when you participate in the LAC Session for this Module.

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:

1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the LDM
adopted by your School/Division?
Answer:
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?
Answer:
3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR
Portals? From whom can you get this support?
Answer:

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?

Answer:

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.
