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.
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.
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 session
and constant communication t our LAC Coach together with the Division LAC
team.
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:
- To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students
- To nurture successful teachers
- To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and
pedagogical knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
- To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School Heads, teachers, and the
community as a whole
3. 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.
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.
Master Teacher
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
ACTIVITY 3
List down the members of your LAC and their respective roles in your Study Notebook.
