 LESSON 1
COURSE OUTLINE
Activity 1

1. What is the main delivery of this course?

The main delivery modality of this course is

independent study through self-learning modules
made available through downloaded electronic
copies and printed copies.

2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to
deliver quality instruction in the “new normal?”

This LDM course helps ensure that I will be able

to deliver quality instruction in the new normal
through better understanding of the whats, hows, and
whys of learning continuity platforms to make
learning effective to happen in the new normal school
setting wherein blended learning modalities are
significant concerns to this current time.

3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you
with your learning in this course?

The two support mechanisms that will help me

with my learning in this LDM course are (1) self-
learning modules and (2) collaboration through the
Learning Action Cells (LACs).
 Activity 2

Answer the following questions by copying and filling out

the table in your Study Notebook.

1. How will my personal characteristics and circumstances

affect (positively or negatively) my participation in this
course?

My professional attitude towards answering the

LDM modules will affect positively my participation
in this course. Though I have other essential school
related works aside from answering these modules,
still I am optimistic that gradually I can finish all of
these on time.

2. How can I ensure that I am able to sustain my strengths

and address the obstacles that will hinder me from
completing this course?

I can ensure that I will be able to sustain my

strengths and address the obstacles that will hinder
me from completing this course through effective
time management, efficient collaboration among the
members of LAC members of group 2, and constant
communication t our LAC Coach together with the
Division LAC team.

Activity 3

Look for a colleague with whom you would like to discuss

your answers and reflections with the questions in Activities 1
and 2.

Upon discussing with my co-teacher regarding how I will

respond to the completion of this LDM2 modules, I had gained

optimistic spirit of enlightenment. Subjecting myself to

undergo through this process will not only benefit me a lot but

it will also benefit my learners under the new normal school

setting wherein face-to-face learning is prohibited because of

the health risks brought about by CoVid 19. Learning must

continue no matter what the situation is. Learning is possible

because there are other learning modalities that can be used to

make learning effective to happen.

 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 are 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 session as

listed in DO 35, s. 2016. Rank the following objectives from
easiest to the most difficult to achieve:

__1__ To improve the teaching-learning process to improve

learning among students

__4__ To nurture successful teachers

__2__ To enable teachers to support each other to

continuously improve their content and the
pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes

__3__ 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.
 In my own opinion, the three challenges that ensure
successful LAC are the following:

1. LAC Scheduling of Meeting

The selection of date and time is significant
indicators to ensure successful LAC session. This
means that the date and time is favorable to all the
LAC team members. All should be present so that
everyone should be able to share their own
understanding, interventions to be adopted, and
productively generate solutions to issues that concern
the school, the learners, and among themselves. In
this manner, LAC session will become successful and
productive.

2. Setting Up of Resources
Before the LAC session be scheduled before hand,
the LAC leader should ensure that all resources
(human and material) are ready. Because if not,
success will not be possible if both human and
material resources are not complete nor ready.

3. Prioritization of Topics or Agenda

Prioritization of LAC topic to be tackled is an
essential indicator of success because if done so,
problems will be addressed immediately. Careful
selection of LAC topic should surface the present
problems of the school, of the learners, or among the
teachers themselves.

Activity 2
 According to DP 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 be 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 LAC through a network of LAC
Leaders.

MODULE 2: MOST ESSENTIAL

LEARNING COMPETENCIES
(MELCs)
LESSON 1: BACKGROUND, RATIONALE, AND
DEVELOPMENT OF MELCS
 ACTIVITY 1

Answer the following reflective questions.

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?

Answer:
One of the major concerns that needs to be addressed is the
proper dissemination of content knowledge to the students.
Although the DepEd made a solution to this by formulating
MELC’s, there are still some issues need to be resolved like the
medium of instruction. DepEd shows different alternative delivery
modes but to me, this would not work without the cooperation of
everyone

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?

Answer:
I don’t think the curriculum is the problem. It is the
implementation. The curriculum had undergone different researches
before was being implemented. Maybe the reason is that, the
 curriculum is slightly ideal

ACTIVITY 2

Familiarize yourself with the course reading on the Development and Design of the
MELCs. After going through the document, provide a brief and concise response to
the following guide questions.

1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of

MELCs?

Answer:
The general purpose of the MELC’s is to ensure
quality, relevant and liberating education by reviewing
the competencies in K to 12 Curriculum. Before the
pandemic, there is already reviews done in the
competencies and there are plans to compress learning
competencies. The specific purpose is to map the
essential and desirable learning competencies and to
identify

2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning

competencies?
Answer:
The review covered the following:

● Mapping of the essential and desirable learning

competencies within the curriculum;

● Identification of prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to

prepare students for essential learning competencies

● Analysis of the interconnectedness of prerequisite

knowledge and skills among the learning competencies for
each subject area.
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and
desirable learning competencies?

Answer:
Essential learning competencies were defined as what
the students need, considered indispensable, in the teaching-
learning process to build skills to equip learners for subsequent
grade levels and consequently, for lifelong learning. On the
other hand, desirable learning competencies were defined as
what may enhance education but may not be necessary in
building foundational skills.
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?

Answer:
It started in identification of essential and desirable
learning competencies. Then, essential learning
competencies to most essential learning competencies. As a
rule, a learning competency is retained if it satisfies the
endurance criterion which greatly contributes to life-long
learning and is a prerequisite skill to the next grade level.
Two or more learning competencies are merged or clustered
if they have the same objective or learning intention and can
therefore be combined into one comprehensive learning
competency. However, learning competencies are
removed/dropped due to the following reasons:

● These are too specific (and the articulation is similar to that

of a learning objective).
● These are deemed appropriate to be introduced in an earlier
quarter or grade level or moved to a later quarter or grade
level.
● These are recurring.
● These are subsumed in another learning competency.
 5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality
instruction?

Answer:
The creation of most essential learning competencies is
a very long and comprehensive process. It undergone
different processes to ensure that learners will be educated
properly.

ACTIVITY 3

Prepare a copy of your learning area’s original K-12 Curriculum Guide and
corresponding list of MELCs.
Go to the sections of the curriculum guide and MELCs that are relevant to
your instructional needs. Copy and accomplish the following table and
compare the two documents to determine which learning competencies
were retained, dropped, or merged.

ACTIVITY 4

In your LAC Session, discuss and share your answers to Activities 1-3 in
this lesson. Discuss any questions about the MELCs that need clarification
as well. Share your thoughts and let your co-teachers articulate their
insights regarding your questions. Jot down all the insights shared in the
discussion, including your own.

Insights:

 MELC’s are a long-term response to the call of SDG4. It is already

been planned even before the COVID-19 pandemic.
 There is a big difference between online learning and digital
modular distance learning.
 Strong internet connection is a big problem in online learning.
 MELC’s are comprehensively compresses

LESSON 2: UNPACKING AND

COMBINING MELCS INTO
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
ACTIVITY 1
Familiarize yourself with the course reading on Unpacking and Combining the
MELCs. After reading the document, provide a brief and concise response to the
following guide questions:

1. What is the importance of unpacking and combining the MELCs?

Answer:
In order to systematize learning activities and
effectively address the varying needs of learners and the
 challenges of instructional deliveries. It is also essential to
prevent redundancy that are visible to repetition of the lesson
which does not show spiral progression.

2. What considerations must be taken in unpacking and combining the MELCs?

Explain each.

Answer:
Prerequisite knowledge and skills must be taken
consideration. It is worth noting that the identified MELCS
cater to higher order cognitive demands. As such, lower
cognitive demands may be considered first in creating
learning objectives. This ensures that prerequisite
knowledge and skills that would enable the achievements of
MELCS and eventually the content and performance
standards are address.
Logical sequence of learning objectives – since the intention
of unpacking the MELCS is to provide systematic learning
experiences for learners. It is incumbent that the unpacked
learning objectives follow a logical sequence.

3. Do all the MELCs need to be unpacked or combined? Why or why not?

Answer:
Yes, in order for the department to focus and prioritize
those that are essentials and can be used in the learner’s daily
lives.

ACTIVITY 2

1. Form a group of four members within your LAC, preferably with fellow
teachers in your respective learning area.
2. Using the curriculum guide and a list of the MELCs, choose MELCs in the
first quarter and unpack these into learning objectives.
3. Each team will present their unpacked learning objectives. Discussion and
processing will follow each presentation. Suggestions and insights from each
group will be considered in enhancing the learning objectives.

Repeat the above process but instead of unpacking, each team will now
combine at least two MELCs of their choice. Group deliberation will be
observed in order to arrive at a consensus. Discuss and jot down the synthesis
of the presentations.

Attach presentation:

ACTIVITY 3

Submit your Activity 2 Outputs to your LAC Leader. Make sure to keep a
copy of your outputs.

LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING
THE DIFFERENT LDMs
 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. When you are done, check Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 1 to
see how well you did.

Answers:

1. A. Face-to-face (F2F) learning - refers to a learning delivery modality where

the teacher and learner/s are physically in one venue.

B. Distance learning - refers to a learning delivery modality where a learner

is given materials or access to resources and he/she undertakes self-directed study
at home or in another venue. Learners engage in independent learning at home or
in any physical learning space applicable, by using learning materials that are
accessible either online, stored on CD/DVD/USB Flash drive, or in printed form, or
by viewing TV lessons or listening to
radio-based instruction while being geographically distant from the teacher.

C. Blended learning - refers to a learning delivery modality using a combination

of the features of F2F learning and distance learning. It can be

(1) F2F and modular distance learning;

(2) F2F and online distance learning;
(3) F2F and TV-based instruction/Radio-based instruction;
(4) F2F and any combination of the other types of distance learning.

D. Home schooling refers to an alternative learning delivery mode (ADM) that

provides learners with access to formal education while staying in an out-of-school
environment, with parents,
guardians, or tutors as authorized facilitators instead of classroom teachers.

2. Question: Which of the LDMs do not have a face-to-face learning

component?
Answer:

Distance learning
Home schooling if done via distance learning
 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.

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.

(Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)

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 and share your ideas at your next
LAC Session.

 LESSON 2:
DESIGNING LESSONS AND
ASSESSMENTS IN THE
DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As
you go through the document, write down your answers to the following
questions:
1. What is Lesson Designing or Lesson Planning?
Answer:
Lesson designing or lesson planning is the process of determining what
learning opportunities students in school will have by planning “the content of
instruction, selecting teaching materials, designing the learning activities and
grouping methods, and deciding on the pacing and allocation of instructional
time” (Virginia Department of
Education, as cited in DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016). Well-prepared and well-
planned lessons are fundamental to ensuring the delivery of quality teaching and
learning in schools.
In order for the design to be effective, teachers need to consider the learners’
characteristics
and be responsive to the needs of the learners.

2. Why is lesson designing important?

Answer:
Lesson designing helps ensure that:
a. time is maximized for instruction and learning
b. lessons are responsive to learner’s needs
c. teachers set learning targets for learners
d. teachers carry out a lesson successfully
e. teachers master their learning area content
f. teachers become more reflective about their teaching
g. learners successfully reach the set learning goals

3. What are the three elements or components of a well-designed lesson?

Answer:
 a. Clearly articulated lesson objectives
b. Well-selected and logically sequenced presentation of learning resources
and
activities to help learners meet the objectives
c. Appropriate and timely assessment activities that provide relevant
information and
feedback for both teachers and learners

Compare your answers to those found in Lesson 2, Activity 1 Answer Key.

ACTIVITY 2
The second component of a well-designed lesson asks teachers to select
and sequence teaching and learning activities that would help learners
meet the learning objectives. These learning tasks can be presented (1)
before the lesson, (2) during the lesson proper, and (3) after the lesson.

14. Transfer ideas and concepts to new situations
15. Present warm-up activities to establish interest in new lesson
Check learner’s prior knowledge about the new lesson Compare your
answers to Lesson 2, Activity 2 Answer Key.

ACTIVITY 3
Lesson design does not end after implementing the lesson. After the
delivery of the lesson, teachers should take time to reflect on what worked
well and why, and what could have been done differently. Identifying
successful and less successful activities and strategies would make it
easier to adjust and revise the lesson plan as needed.

Highlight which part/s is/are accomplished after the lesson is delivered.

Components of the DLL/DLP

I. Objectives
II. Content
III. Learning Materials and Resources
 IV. Procedures
V. Remarks
VI. Reflection

According to DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016: The reflection part of

the DLL and
DLP should be filled up after the lesson is delivered. Teachers are
encouraged to think
about their lessons, particularly the parts that went well and the parts that
were weak
and write about those briefly. In the reflection, teachers can share their
thoughts and
feelings about their lessons including things about the lesson that were
successfully implemented and which ones need improvement or could be
adjusted
in the future. Teachers can also take note of the number of learners who
earned
80% in the evaluation, the number of learners who require additional
activities for
remediation, and the difficulties teachers encountered that their principal
or
supervisor can help solve.

Compare your answer to Lesson 2, Activity 3 Answer Key.

The learning tasks listed in Activity 2 all form part of the Lesson Procedures
of the DLL and DLP. To find out the instructional principles behind these
learning tasks, you may refer to the article Principles of Instruction by Barak
Rosenshine (https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/
periodicals/Rosenshine.pdf).

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. Follow the example below.

After completing the Venn diagram, look at Lesson 2, Activity 5 Answer Key
 to see the other similarities and differences between the two types of
assessments.

ACTIVITY 6
(Submit a copy of your Output to your LAC Leader)

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? 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.

retrieval of pupil’s output thru parents.

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?

Answer:
Written works and formative test are common
among the group because it can be included right away
with the activity sheets.

2. What are the challenges in doing assessment in DL?

Answer:
The differences of the learners which will be visible to
differentiated learning and the learner’s access to mode of
delivery.

3. Despite the challenges, what opportunities can you and your

colleagues explore to make assessment doable in DL?
Answer:
More LAC regarding assessment to attend so we will
have more chances and choices of the different assessment we can
give.

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.

Questions True False

1. A portfolio mainly displays the academic achievements of
the learner. √

2. Testimonies of parents/guardians and learning facilitators

regarding the learner’s progress may be included in a √
portfolio.

3. There is a fixed list of items that should be included

in a portfolio. √

4. The teacher can only comment on a learner’s

√
portfolio.
5. For asynchronous learning, teachers allow learners to
work on their outputs during their own time. The latter will √
submit the portfolio within the schedule that the teachers
set.
6. The learners may submit, store, and manage their portfolio
via file sharing programs or they may submit the actual √
softcopies of their work saved on a CD/DVD/USB flash
drive.
7. Portfolios of DL learners with outputs in hard copies or √
physical forms may be handed over to the teacher by the
parents or learning facilitators.

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.

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)

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.

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 module. Be sure that you have your Module 3A outputs, Study
Notebook, and LAC Session 3A Guide ready when you participate in the LAC
Session for this Module.

 LESSON 1
LEARNING RESOURCE MAP FOR
DISTANCE LEARNING
ACTIVITY 1.
The DepEd Memorandum on Suggested Strategies in
Implementing LDMs for SY 2020-2021 included the Learning
Resources (LR) Map as a guide in selecting the appropriate Distance
LDM to be implemented in Schools/Divisions. Study this map and
answer the following questions in your Study Notebook:

1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to

implement the LDM adopted by your School/Division?
 Our school had opted the modular distance learning which needs
the following learning resource materials:
a. Printed SLMs
b. Activity sheets
c. Supplementary textbooks/LM

2. Do you have the complete resources for the Distance LDM

needed in class? If the LRs are not complete or not available,
what steps will you take to make these available? What are
your options to substitute these missing LRs?

As of now, we do not have a complete LRMs for Distance LDM,

however, our school had already initiated creation of supplementary
activity sheets for subjects which are not yet available.
I had already led my co-teachers that in the absence of the
learning materials in their respective grade level, they may use the
compiled learning activities, their Diagnostic, and formative assessment
in their DLLs.

3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two
DepEd-sanctioned LR Portals? From whom can you get this
support?

I will join electronically in the DepEd LR Portals. Upon approval

of my request to join, I will start to download LRMs that are essential to
my teaching using the MDL modality.
I can gain support from the Division LRM of LUSDO.

4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate

to the level and characteristics of learners? Are there learners
who might be disadvantaged by the materials (based on reading
ability, level of learning independence, level of household
support, distance)? What adjustments will you make in terms of
the LRs?

Yes, they are appropriate because these were developed by the

Department of Education which is the primary learning resource
materials to be utilized by Grade 1 learners across the country in the new
 normal. These SLMs is K to 12 compliant, based from the MELCs and
passed the ADM Learning Resources Standards. However, completeness
of SLMs to be downloaded is still a problem.
In case that there are disadvantage learners, teachers can simplify
the learning activities in the SLMs. Contextualizing and localizing the
SLMs will be a great help to address the learning styles and pacing of
disadvantage learners.

ACTIVITY 2.

In your LAC Session, share and discuss your answers from the
previous activity. What support can you provide to your colleagues
and what support can you get from them in terms of LRs? Take
note of the insights that you can gather from your colleagues and
write them in your Study Notebook.

Support that I can provide to my colleagues:

1. Guide and help them download the SLMs using the DepEd
LR Portals.

2. Assist them in conducting review and assessment of all the

downloaded SLMs to address the completeness and
appropriateness of all the SLMs to be used this school year.
 3. To address the disadvantage learners, maybe I can assist
them in simplifying the activities in the SLMs.

Support that I can get from them in terms of LRs:

1. Cooperation

2. Perseverance and diligence in the honest assessment of the

LRs

3. Their feedbacks matter in addressing possible issues that

may arise during the school year in terms of the use and
contents of the SLMs

LESSON 2
ASSESING LEARNING RESOURCES
FROM DEPED

ACTIVITY 1.

Establish access to the following portals:

1. LRMDS Portal. Ensure that you have an LRMDS Portal Account.

If you have not registered yet, follow the LR Portal User Guide to
guide you in your registration process. Alternatively, seek
assistance from any of your colleagues or your IT personnel in your
school, district, or division. You may also coordinate with your LAC
Leader and/or Coach. To understand the portal better, you may
watch the LR Portal Video Tutorial located in the resources of this
Course.

2. DepEd Commons. Ensure that you have access to DepEd

Commons. Refer to Memorandum on DepEd Commons dated March
17, 2020.

Explore the Portals. In your Study Notebook, answer the

following questions:
1. Given the LDM adopted in your School, how can the two DepEd
portals respond to your LR needs and those of your learners’?
How do they complement the LRs that you already have?
The two Deped Portals are positively responding to the needs of
our school and learners because these portals provide learning resource
materials that we need today. These SLMs, activity sheets, interactive
platforms are very essential to address the needs of our teachers and
learners. The access to these learning portals also provide authentic
learning platform because these were developed by the Department of
Education which are the primary learning resource materials to be
utilized by learners across the country in the new normal. This SLMs is
K to 12 compliant, based from the MELCs and passed the ADM
Learning Resources Standards.
2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both
for you and your learners? How will you overcome these
challenges?
The challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals are the following.
a. poor internet connection that hinders the downloading and
accessing the LRs in the Deped portals
b. not all learners and teachers have internet connection to access
the online digital platforms especially the DepEd Commons.
 d. not all learners have learning gadgets to access the DepEd
Commons.
e. lack of fund to finance the massive reproduction of SLMs, the
MOOE of the school is not enough
3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the
LR Portals? From whom can you get this support?
As teachers in our school, we can maximize the use of the LR
portals through info-drive and simulation on how to access and use the
LRMs in the DepEd portals.
We can get these supports though the strong sponsorship of the ff.
a. Teachers
b. Parents
c. Community Leaders
d. Trained learning facilitators & para-teachers
e. Division LDRMs
f. LGUs
g. Other government agencies
h. NGOs
i. School Alumni Association
ACTIVITY 2.
In your next LAC Session, share and discuss your answers to
the questions in Activity 1. Explore how you can help and support
each other in using the LR portals. Jot down the insights and
helpful information regarding the use of the LR portals in your
Study Notebook.

LESSON 3
 ASSESING THE LEARNING
RESOURCES
ACTIVITY 1.

Study the LR Rapid Assessment Tool. Download an LR from

either DepEd Commons or LRMDS Portal and assess the material
using the tool. Answer the following questions in your Study
Notebook:
1. Was the material able to meet all the requirements?
2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you
answered “No” or “Cannot Be Determined”? What decision will you
make on the LR material? Why?
3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool
but still need to be assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and
appropriate LRs for your lesson and your learners?

REFLECTIONS
SELF-LEARNING MODULE IN MTB 1

The Self-Learning Module in MTB 1 that I downloaded was developed by

the Department of Education which is the primary learning resource materials
to be utilized by Grade 1 learners across the country in the new normal. This
SLM in MTB 1 is K to 12 compliant, based from the MELCs and passed the
ADM Learning Resources Standards. This means that this SLM in MTB 1 was
designed to cater the needs of our learners on what they should essentially
need to learn now that face-to-face learning is not possible because of the
health risks brought about by Covid 19.

As I go through the indicators and as I answered the Rapid Assessment

of Learning Resources that in this case, the SLM in MTB 1 was evaluated. I
have two indicators that I think brought some minor issues. First is “easy to
reproduce and/or disseminate.” We cannot deny the fact that no matter how
complete the SLMs, still we are challenged on the mass production of SLMs
because this requires huge budget allocation. Scarcity fund is a problem in
order to reproduce these self-learning modules. Second is “free from red flags
on possible copyright and plagiarism issues.” The development of SLMs
includes the use of suited references; however SLMs writers might not be able
to properly cite the references they used. So, the issue of copyright
infringement is a great challenge for the SLMs writers.

The procedure in selecting appropriate SLMs is fundamental in securing

better learning outcomes and teachers have big significant roles in the
selection of appropriate learning resource materials to be used in their
teaching. Relatively, this process had helped me a lot.

As I go through this SLM review in MTB 1, I was enlightened that one of

the essential roles of a teacher is to look and study carefully the most
appropriate learning resource materials he will be using. It is his responsibility
to scrutinize carefully the learning resource materials he will be using because
if he does, there will be significant learning outcomes for our children despite
this global health pandemic.

ACIVITY 2.

Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find

online. Take note of the portals in your Study Notebook. Download
at least one LR from each portal. Assess the materials using the
same tool and answer the following questions in your Study
Notebook:

1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a

non-DepEd Portal compare with the LR from the DepEd Portal?
The differences are as follow:
a. they are not contextualized and localized
b. they are not K – 12 compliant
c. they are not MELCs-based
d. they are not simplified

2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what

improvements do the materials —both from DepEd and Non-
DepEd portals — still need?
a. the lay-out
b. free from red flags on possible copyright and plagiarism issues
c. parallelism and congruity of learning competencies between the
LRs found in the Deped portals and Non-DepEd portals

3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and
appropriate LRs for your lesson and your learners?
The simulation of how to use the Rapid Assessment tool for LRs had
greatly helped me choose the right and appropriate learning materials
which I will be using for my grade 5 learners this school year.
 ACTIVITY 3.
Choose one of the LR materials that you have developed. Assess
this material using the same tool. Answer the following questions in
Your Study Notebook:

1. How does your material compare with the ones that are
obtained from the online portals?
Based from our final outputs, the following are noted compared to
the LRs we can access in the online LR portals:
a. it is MELC based
b. the lay-out is different
c. learning activities were contextualized and localized.
d. the level of difficulty is addressed (from easy to the most
difficult learning tasks for learners

1. What improvements do you still need to make in your

developed material?

The Activity Sheets needs the following improvements;

1. Better lay-out
2. Proper citation of used reference materials
3. The AS should be carefully validated and edited by
real experts in the fields

ACTIVITY 4.
 Share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activities
1, 2, and 3 in your next
LAC Session. Jot down insights and information that can be
useful to you in choosing the appropriate LRs.

Submit your LR assessments with your reflection on the

exercises to your LAC Leader. Ensure that you keep a copy for
yourself.

TEACHING PORTFOLIO
RELATED TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
MODALITIES
LESSON 1: THE TEACHING PORTFOLIO
AND ITS CONTENTS

ACTIVITY 1.
 Before you begin to prepare building your Portfolio, you need to make sure
that you have completed all the outputs for this course. Go over the list
found in LDM2 Guide for Expected Outputs and find out whether you have
completed all the outputs required for Modules 1-4 of this course.

Submit the completed outputs to your designated Coach for final evaluation.
Keep a copy of all your outputs for your own records.

ACTIVITY 2.
Study the Reading on Portfolios from the Glossary of Education Reform.
Based on your reading, reflect on the following questions.

1. How will your Portfolio help you in tracking the progress of your
teaching practice in your School’s LDM?

Answer:
My portfolio helps me in tracking the progress of my
teaching pratie in our hool LM in such a
way that it will serve as my guide rearing the different
LDM that takes place during pandemic season.

2. What evidence from the previous modules will help capture the
progress of your teaching practice?

Answer:

Some evidences from the previous modules help

me to capture the progress of my teaching practice
such as doing WHLP,LAS, SLM targeting some
interventions that some of the learners should have.
3. Why is writing down your reflections an integral part of your Portfolio?

Answer:

- In every work or task given it must have a reflection within.

Making of it is an integral part because it serves as a compilation of
our knowledge and understanding towards the topic. It also
measures our affectively being our consciousness and even our
judgement in a certain topic.
- In every work or task given, one must have a reflection. It is an
integral part because in the reflection we can pour out our ideas,
analysis, comments/suggestions about the particular task which can
be a road to change or improvement.
