The Learning Action Cell as a K to 12 Basic Education Program School-Based
Continuing Professional Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning
I. RATIONALE
In line with the implementation of Republic Act No. 10533, or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, the Department of Education (DepEd) issues the policy on The Learning Action Cell (LAC) as a K to 12 Basic Education Program School-Based Continuing Professional Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning( DepEd Order No. 35, s. 2016.
This advocacy of the Department of Education implies that every teacher should be properly guided and equipped with the know-how of teaching and learning process through revisiting and reviewing some areas or concerned in performing the duties and responsibilities of an effective and efficient teacher.
School Learning Action Cell, commonly known as LAC is an activity held in every school to facilitate learning from the resource speakers from the community, school head or from peer to peer mentoring. It is a holistic mission of today that through trainings and seminars, teachers craft as facilitators of learning in school becomes more prolific to improve every leaner’s knowledge, skills and attitudes for them to be globally competitive.
There are so many topics to be discussed that is worth interesting. Revisiting of the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers in the Philippines is really in time to review ourselves on the proper conduct of the teachers. It also emphasizes the teacher’s relationship with the state, with the community, learners, higher authorities, parents and business.
A discussion on Learning Disabilities and Its Causes is very vital for every teacher. In this topic, teachers can identify the learning difficulties in every student and know the causes of learning difficulties. So much so, teachers can gain knowledge through understanding and helping the pupils with learning difficulties.
The student is said to be the center in the educational process. They are our main concern in delivering effective instruction for quality outcomes. It is therefore, the main task of the school agents to protect the youth from any form of discrimination and take positive action to promote their rights. Ensuring responsibilities of parents and the extended family to provide guidance for the child which appropriate to her or his evolving capacities should also be ensured by the teacher. Ensuring the young people are respected, given the chance to develop and enjoy security, and allowed them to participate would also be a good idea to discuss during a LAC session.
Including different Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligence is very important during SLAC. Teachers were given the chance to identify and describe different learning styles and know more about multiple intelligence. Likewise, they must ensure that pupils possess different kinds of minds and learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways. Moreover, challenging an educational system that assumes that everyone can learn the same materials in the same way that a uniform, universal measure suffices to test students’ learning.
These LAC will eventually prepare us, teachers for the age of globalization. Our attendance to these sessions will help create an effective learning environment, improve teaching-learning situations, keep updated on modern instructional devices and inspire us to become better teachers in the modern world. Since the department is offering free training’s and seminars, we teachers must grab this opportunity for self- improvement.
