STUDY NOTEBOOK LEARNING DELIVERY MODALITIES 2 COURSE MODULE 1: COURSE ORIENTATION MODULE OBJECTIVE: By the end of this Module, you will be able to describe what this course is about and how it will help you manage the teaching-learning process in the modalities. MODULE CONTENT: Lesson 1: Course Overview Lesson 2: Organizing your Learning Action Cell (LAC) LAC Session 1 JUAN DELA CRUZ Teacher I 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? The Learning Delivery Modalities 2 Course (LDM2) delivers self-directed modules which do not require thorough discussion in deepening the teachers’ understanding on the different learning modalities that we are about to use come October 5. This course is also output-oriented as teacher participants are tasked to provide outputs and reflect on each activity in every module. 2. How can this course help ensure that you will be able to deliver quality instruction in the “new normal”? Given the current situation of our country due to the pandemic and as our educational system is doing its best to adjust in providing alternative ways for learners to access quality education, this course shall engage us to become more knowledgeable and skillful in terms of the implementation of the most suitable learning delivery modality in their respective areas. This will also urge us to understand better the needs of our learners and the most effective ways to provide instructional assistance considering their health and welfare. 3. What are the two support mechanisms that will help you with your learning in this course? The support mechanisms that will surely help me in learning this course are as follow: 1. My prior knowledge gain from the webinars/trainings I attended that are all connected to this course. 2. The expertise of the LAC sessions’ facilitators together with the collaborations of our teaching force in giving insights, enlightenments, and support to each other in learning each module of this course. 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? 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? HABITS (What is it that I repeatedly do that may affect my participation in the course in a positive or negative way?) OBSTACLES (What will prevent me from participating fully in this course?) MOTIVATION (What will push me to participate in this course?) ENVIRONMENT (Where will I accomplish the requirements of this course? Describe this environment.) I always study the lessons given to me ahead of time and more than willing to search for answers and solutions to problems that may occur along the way. This for me is somehow positive that may result to providing better outputs. The on-going preparations for the opening of classes, the queries from parents through phone calls/SMS/messenger, and other tasks being given simultaneously from different offices. Not to mention the difficulty in internet connection since our LAC sessions may be conducted virtually. My primary motivation has always been the learners. Seeing them confined in their homes and learning less to nothing makes me bothered. Amidst this pandemic, I guess the least we can do is to provide them with the best resources we can give them in order for them continue their dreams of becoming someone useful and efficient someday. Since we are doing the LAC sessions virtually, I will have to accomplish the requirements of this course from my home. Rest assured that I keep constant communication with my colleagues in getting their insights and support for better understanding of this course. 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: ____ 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 2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate. 1. Proper Schedule of LAC - It will be best if the schedule for the session do not conflict with the other tasks and schedules of the teachers. Often times, teachers are attending 2 or more trainings all at the same time resulting to give less focus to the LAC session. 2. Relevance of the Topics - To make sure that teachers are gaining knowledge and skills that are useful to the current situation or in the future, the topics in the LAC sessions should be relevant, timely, and benefial to all parties concerned especially in these trying times. 3. Stable communication lines - As many of us are leveraging the power of modern technology in conducting LAC sessions, it will be best if we can find a place with stable internet connection. 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. See LDM Module 1 – page 5 ACTIVITY 3 List down the members of your LAC and their respective roles in your Study Notebook. FORM 1: LAC PROFILE This form should be accomplished by the LAC Facilitator and its members at the first LAC session.
