. LAC Implementation Process
Before the LAC Session. In order to plan for LACs, the LAC members guided by the
LAC Leader and LAC Facilitator, are expected to identify professional development
needs and prioritized issues to be discussed or addressed in the LAC session.
These can be recorded in a LAC Plan, which will also require details on how the
LAC process will be monitored. A template for the LAC Plan can be found in Annex
1. Schools can revise the template to suit their own needs and contexts

1. Assessment of Needs
Needs are identified with reference to the professional teacher
standards set for one’s career stage. These needs could be
captured through different forms like self-assessment tools,
classroom observation results, critical reflections, surveys,
research-based teacher development needs, students’ assessment
results, and other forms.

whatever way agreed upon by the members of the group.
3.Formation of LAC
4. Identification of Appropriate Intervention.
The LAC could agree on exploring interventions to address
the identified need. Interventions could be in the form of
learning materials, instructional materials, equipment,
facilities, strategies in teaching, modality in teaching,
program, etc.

5. Scheduling of Meetings.
LAC sessions, however, should be conducted at least once a
month. Interactions may also be done through ICT when it is
difficult to have face-to face sessions, particularly when
involving clustered schools.
6. Setting Up of Resources
Resources could be human or material that
should be prepared or set up before the
implementation of the sessions. The human
resources could be individuals who are tapped
as resource persons of the LAC sessions.
Material resources could be the supplies,
worksheets, videos, equipment, budget, food,
venues and other things needed in the conduct
of a LAC session

7. Assignment of Work.
The LAC members could be given specific roles
to perform during LAC sessions. These roles
could be rotated among the members of the
8. LAC Implementation Norms. Norms are the framework from which
team members commit to conduct business. Developing norms and
adhering to them ensure the success of the group, and facilitate the
members’ ability to deal with critical issues. Norms have several
components that clarify team dynamics. These are some elements to
address:
Time and Venue: Where and when will we meet? Will we start on time?
Listening: How will we listen to our peers? How will we discourage
interruptions when someone is speaking?
Confidentiality: What content is to be held in confidence? What can be
shared after the meeting?
Decision Making: How will we arrive at a decision? What if everyone
doesn’t agree with the group decision?
Participation: Is participation optional? Will we have an attendance
policy? What will we do if a member constantly misses meetings?
9. Preparing Line-item Budget.
The budget shall come from the school’s respective MOOE and
other external grants, provided that only expenses allowed
under the school MOOE may be included, subject to existing
accounting rules and regulations.

10. Writing of LAC Plan.


For a guided implementation of LAC plans, they should be
written and documented following the template in Annex 1.
Schools are allowed to modify the template based on their
needs. This plan should be integrated or linked with the School
Improvement Plan (SIP) or Annual Implementation Plan (AIP).
a. During the LAC
The priorities set out in the LAC plan are implemented through a variety of
activities, which can include stimulus followed by collaborative discussion of
possible ways forward. The final activity of the session will involve individual and
group action planning in order to implement agreed activities in the classrooms

b. After the LAC Session


LAC members are expected to implement the proposed strategies in
their classroom or school or community as appropriate and evaluate
their success. They should report back on the success of the activities
and evaluate to improved outcomes for learners at school.
Roles and Responsibilities of various DepEd
Offices
School level (School Head)
 School head should lead in organizing the LAC and in ensuring that
the practice of holding regular LAC session is established,
maintained and sustained.
 Monitor school LAC activities and in evaluating their impact on the
total school improvement as well as the active participation of
teachers and involvement in various LAC activities as an objective
in the IPCRF
 Facilitate and implement effective LAC within their school
 Provide administrative support and academic leadership to the
LACs will strengthen the school’s development of professional
learning communities in favor of student learning and holistic
development.
Progress Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E )
Monitoring and feedback should be ongoing throughout the
LAC planning and implementation phases using a variety of
forms including both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
When evaluating the LAC, evaluators should remain focused
on the way in which the LAC is raising levels of teacher quality
and contributing to improved outcomes for learners..
LAC members are expected to assess:
a. Development in teacher quality
b. Impact on student performance
c. Effectiveness of the implemented strategies
