MODULE 1: COURSE ORIENTATION

LESSON 1: Course Overview

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 this course?
Answer: The LDM2 for teachers is a course that combines guided study using self-learning
modules and co-learning and collaboration. The module is designed for self-study of the
learners AT HOME. Lessons and activities are learned through readings or surfing the
internet, watching videos etc.

2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the
“new normal”?
Answer: The course provides different options for the teachers and for the learners, this
course introduces us to the different educational platform/modalities such as online, modular,
blended learning. By learning the process, different pedagogies, by improving our skills and
knowledge, by being properly guided and equipped in the ways of teaching in the new normal
setting we can deliver quality instructions to the learners that despite our situation now,
learning is still possible.

3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this course?
Answer: LCP capacity building has two streams. The first stream (LDM1) is focused on the
implementation and management of the alternative learning delivery system at all levels of
education system, and intended for school and division leaders. This course we are taking
now, which is the LDM2, is intended for teachers and is focused on the instructional
implications of using these alternative LDMs.

help me in my teaching in the new normal setting.

LESSON 2: Organizing Your Learning Action Cell (LAC)

Activity 1
Begin by refreshing your memory on the Learning Action 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:
3 To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students
4 To nurture successful teachers
1 To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and pedagogical
knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
2 To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School Heads, teachers, and the community
as a whole

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

LDM2 MODULE 1-Xyla Joy A. Perez

  SCHEDULES: missed the session due to busy schedule, unexpected matters to
attend.
 ON TIME SESSION: delayed sessions due to power interruptions and other
technical issues.
 OUTPUTS/ACTIVITIES: sometimes there are activities that are time consuming
and difficult to answer on the part of the teachers. Though we are given enough time
to answer, I think It can also be a challenge.

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 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
Instructional Coach will also be handling multiple LACs through a network of LAC Leaders.
