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?

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?

2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning
competencies?
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable
learning competencies?
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?
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality
instruction?
ACTIVITY 3
Prepare a copy of your learning area’s original K-12 Curriculum Guide and corresponding

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 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.
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. Replicate the
following table and write your answers in your Study Notebook.

Be prepared to discuss your ranking at your next LAC Session.

ACTIVITY 3
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 in your Study
Notebook and share your ideas at your next LAC Session.
Well done! You have completed Lesson 1. You may now proceed to Lesson 2.

Answer the following questions in your Study Notebook:
1. For learning tasks not found in the SLM you examined, what materials or
resources can you create or curate to supplement the SLM?
2. What kind of additional support can you give: a) the learner, and/or b) the
household partner so that they are guided throughout the lesson?
3. How can the teacher gather feedback on the different learning tasks, in order to
refine or modify current and future lessons?

Be ready to share your answers for Activity 4 when you meet with your LAC
group after completing this module.
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 in your Study Notebook. Follow the example below.
ACTIVITY 6
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? In your study notebook, 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.
Be ready to share your output when you meet with your LAC group after
completing this module. Try to answer these questions with your colleagues:

1. What assessment methods are common among the group members?

2. What are the challenges in doing assessment in DL?
3. Despite the challenges, what opportunities can you and your colleagues explore
to make assessment doable in DL?.
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.
Check out the Lesson 2, Activity 7 Answer Key to see how well
you did.

Learners are different and have different abilities. For some

topics, you can give students some options or alternatives on how
they will be assessed. Just make sure that these would
show how much they have learned.

Good job! You are done with Lesson 2.

You may now proceed to Lesson 3.
LESSON 3:
GUIDING AND MONITORING
LEARNERS IN THE
DIFFERENT LDMs
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. differentiate a weekly home learning plan from an individual
learning monitoring plan
2. create a weekly home learning plan
3. create an individual learning monitoring plan
Key Topics/Concepts
individual learning monitoring plan; insignificant progress; intervention strategies;
learning area; learning task; learner’s needs; learner’s status; mastery; MELCs;

 Individual Learning Monitoring Plan Template
 Sample Weekly Home Learning Plans
 Lesson 3 Activity 1 Answer Key
 Lesson 3 Activity 3 Answer Key
 Study Notebook
ACTIVITY 1
The check-up activity introduced you to the key components of a Weekly Home Learning
Plan (WHLP), namely, the learning area, learning tasks, learning competencies, and the mode
of delivery. The WHLP serves as a guide for your learners on what they need to accomplish
each week when they do independent study at home (DepEd, 2020). It outlines the learning
tasks that learners need to do, using the SLM, in order for them to attain the most essential
learning competencies (MELCs).

The learning tasks may be as detailed like those in the SLMs as shown in the Sample Weekly
Home Learning Plan for Blended Distance Learning or may just refer learners to the lesson
number and/or activity number in the SLM as shown in the Sample Weekly Home Learning
Plan for Modular Distance Learning and for Online Distance Learning.

The WHLP also trains learners to take responsibility for their own learning as they follow
the prescribed schedule in the plan. Remember also that part of guiding learners is to give
enhancement or remediation activities when needed and when possible.
ACTIVITY 2
Read items 1 to 6 of the Appendix D of the DepEd Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00162
which 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)

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, copy and fill out the table below in
your Study Notebook to see how the ILMP differs from the WHLP.

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.
ACTIVITY 4
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.

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