MODULE 3: CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE LEARNING

DELIVERY MODALITIES FOR YOUR DIVISION

AND SCHOOLS
In this Module, your Division Team will be taken through a process of validating
your choice of learning delivery modalities (LDMs) to implement in your
Division/School. Unlike Module 2, which focused on conceptual understanding
of the LDMs, Module 3 is structured as a workshop in which you will be asked
to work in your LAC to apply what you learned in Module 2 and make data-
driven decisions about and plan for the LDMs you will use in your Division/
Schools.

MODULE OBJECTIVE 

By the end of this Module, you will be able to finalize your choice of LDMs and develop an
action plan for being 100% ready to implement your chosen LDMs in your Division/School by
the opening of classes in August.

 points, as needed. LAC Members are encouraged to share reflections on the tool
they recorded in their Study Notebook.
b) Organize yourselves to accomplish the tool in an efficient and timely way.
»» Step 1: Discuss what data Schools will need to accomplish the Decision Tree,
and if all necessary data are already at hand. Plan how to secure any missing
data. Use the table below to help you assess your data needs. Document in
your Study Notebook.

If NOT complete,
Available? Person/s
Data Needed how will you get the Deadline
(Complete/Partial/No) Responsible
data?

What data do you

need to complete
the Decision
Tree?

»» Step 2: Schools accomplish the Decision Tree using school-level data.

»» Step 3: Schools submit their completed School Decision Tree to the Division.
Set a deadline for submission.
»» Step 4: Division consolidates all School Decision Trees to generate a Division
Decision Tree. Set a deadline for completion and set a date and time for LAC
Session 4. Steps 2-4 must be completed before LAC Session 4.

ACTIVITY 2. Conduct LAC Session 4 as scheduled. Accomplish the following in your LAC
Session:

1. Discuss the results of the Decision Tree activity. Use your Study Notebook to record
personal reflections.
2. Check the results against your original choice of modalities.
3. Revise your list of chosen modalities accordingly.
4. Set a time and date for LAC Session 5. Everyone must complete Lesson 2, Activity 1.1
and Activity 1.2 before LAC Session 5.

Excellent! You are done with Lesson 1. Now it’s time for Lesson 2.

LESSON 2: ASSESSING YOUR READINESS TO IMPLEMENT YOUR CHOSEN LDMs
AND ACTION PLANNING FOR FULL READINESS

In this lesson, you will assess the readiness of your Division and your Schools to
implement your chosen LDMs. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. explain how to use the Learning Delivery Modality Readiness Assessment Tool
2. assess your readiness to implement your chosen LDMs using the Readiness
Assessment Tool
3. formulate a set of actions and a timeline for reaching 100% readiness on all
readiness items for each of your chosen LDMs
4. assess the risks that might hinder you from reaching your targets, and devise
strategies to mitigate these risks
5. plan for how you will track your readiness progress

Key Topics/Concepts
LDM readiness, LDM readiness data, Learning Delivery Modality Readiness Tool,
LDM Readiness Action Plan, LDM readiness risk assessment and mitigation, LDM
readiness progress tracking

Resources Required
33 Data on available resources in the Division and Schools required for each chosen
LDM
33 Learning Delivery Modality Readiness Assessment Tool
33 Video tutorial on the Learning Delivery Modality Readiness Assessment Tool
33 Map of Learning Resources for Distance Learning
33 Study Notebook

ACTIVITY 1.

1. Watch the video tutorial on the Learning Delivery Modality Readiness Assessment
Tool. This Readiness Assessment Tool is based on the non-negotiable minimum
requirements discussed in Module 2. Write down your reflections on the tool in your
Study Notebook.
2. After watching the video tutorial, open the Learning Delivery Modality Readiness
Assessment Tool file. Familiarize yourself with the tool. Once you start inputting data,
make sure to save your file from time to time.

NOTE TO DIVISION LEADERS: The Readiness Assessment Tool is an electronic

spreadsheet with embedded formulas. If some of your School Leaders do not have
access to a computer and can only work on a print out of the tool, assign persons to

LDM1: Learning Delivery Modalities Course for Division and School Leaders 17
 assist each of those School Leaders to create an electronic version of their hard copy
School Readiness Assessment. Take this into account when setting deadlines.

3. Conduct LAC Session 5 as scheduled. Accomplish the following in your LAC:

a) Discuss the Readiness Assessment Tool. Check that everyone understands how
the Readiness Assessment works and how to accomplish the tool. Re-watch the
video tutorial to clarify points, as needed. LAC Members are encouraged to share
reflections on the tool they recorded in their Study Notebook.
b) Organize yourselves to accomplish the tool in an efficient and timely way.
»» Step 1: Discuss what data Schools will need to accomplish the Readiness
Assessment Tool, and if all necessary data are already at hand. Plan how to
secure any missing data. Use the table below to help you assess your data
needs. Document in your Study Notebook.

If NOT complete,
Available? Person/s

What data do you

need to complete
the Readiness
Assessment Tool?

»» Step 2: Schools accomplish the Basic Data Section and Section 1 (Baseline) of
the Readiness Assessment Tool using school-level data for the chosen LDMs.
Note that the initial scope of the readiness assessment of learning resources is
Quarter 1 only. Refer to the Map of Learning Resources for Distance Learning.
»» Step 3: Schools submit their completed Basic Data Section and Section 1
(Baseline) School Readiness Assessment to the Division. Set a deadline for
submission.
»» Step 4: Division consolidates all School Readiness Assessments (Baseline) to
generate a Division Readiness Assessment (Baseline) for the chosen LDMs.
Set a deadline for completion and set a date and time for LAC Session 6. Steps
2-4 must be completed before LAC Session 6.

ACTIVITY 2. Conduct LAC Session 6 as scheduled. Accomplish the following in your LAC
Session:

1. Discuss the results of the Readiness Assessment (Baseline) for the chosen LDMs. Use
your Study Notebook to record personal reflections.
2. Check the results against your revised list of LDMs (your output from Lesson 1).

 3. Revise your list of LDMs again if necessary.
4. Go to Section 3 of the Division Readiness Assessment Tool and your own School
Readiness Assessment Tool. Discuss and agree on what actions to take to reach 100%
readiness, and answer Section 3.
5. Discuss what risks you need to consider when executing your action plan. Plan how
you will address these risks so as to achieve your targets. Accomplish the table below.

What risks do you face in

What is the level of that risk? What actions will you take to

plan?

6. Discuss how you will track your readiness progress and agree on rules and
guidelines. Address the following questions:
a) Who will be in charge of tracking readiness progress?
b) How often will you report to each other on progress?
c) How will you ensure that problems encountered in preparing for readiness are
solved in a timely way?
d) What will happen if you are already nearing the opening of classes and you
are still not 100% ready to implement an LDM? Will you stop implementing that
modality until you are ready? Will you stagger the roll-out of that modality? What
will happen to the students and teachers affected? What actions will you take to
hasten your preparation for full readiness?
7. Discuss and plan how you will conduct the Pre-Implementation Readiness
Assessment (Section 2 of the Tool) to determine how much progress you’ve made
getting reading to use your chosen LDMs by the opening of classes. Set a deadline for
completing Section 2. This deadline must be before classes open on August 24.

NOTE: Since the scope of this initial readiness assessment of learning resources is
Quarter 1 only, you will need to do assessments for Quarters 2, 3 and 4 as well.
Use the same Readiness Assessment Tool and go through the same process for
succeeding quarters (both baseline and pre-implementation). Make sure that you
change the Quarter number and indicate the dates of assessment in the appropriate
spreadsheet cells.

Congratulations! You have completed Module 3. Proceed to Module 4.
