LDM2__ Learning Delivery Modalities Course for Teachers PRACTICUM PORTFOLIO LAC GUIDE Note: This LAC Session Guide serves only as a guide for LAC Leaders in conducting LAC sessions on the LDM courses. LACs are still free to merge or modify content of these session guides according to your context, schedules, and capacity. LAC Components Activity Suggested Duration Getting Started The LAC Facilitator can use this time to remind the LAC group on norms, do a short icebreaker, or conduct a “Kumustahan” session with the members. 10 minutes. Set the scope and objective of the session. Specify that this LAC will only focus on their ongoing LDM practicum portfolio building. The LAC Facilitator should set that this session will build on the last pre-implementation module which is about portfolio-building. Specifically, it will help them clarify concerns on what to include in their practicum portfolio and how it will be evaluated. To save time, each member will be provided with a copy of the supplemental guide for them to study in advance. They will be asked to identify the MOVs in the list that they already have. Small Group Sharing (SGS) LAC Facilitator will divide the group into groups with 3-5 10-15 minutes members. Only if possible, group the members based on learning areas or grade levels taught (i.e. science teachers, math teachers, primary level teachers, etc.) Give them at least 5 minutes to discuss within the small group, and another 5-10 minutes for sharing with the big group. Question for SGS: 1. Have you started gathering MOVs in your practicum portfolio? 2. What artefacts/ MOVs you have gathered show your progress in applying what you have learned in the LDM course? 3. What artefacts/ MOVs for your LDM practicum portfolio do you have in common? Groups will assign one speaker to share their answers with the big group. *Small groups can be held as break-outs on platforms that allow this, such as Zoom, Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, or others, if face-to-face LAC sessions are still prohibited. Small Group Report Assigned speakers will share their answers with the big 10 minutes group Each small group will be given 2 minutes to present their answers with the big group. Guides on Building Your LDM Practicum Portfolio 1 LAC facilitator notes down and consolidates the responses and presents them in a table to identify similar and different answers. Big Group/Plenary sharing LAC Facilitator asks members if these MOVs satisfactorily 15 minutes document their learning, growth, and development on LDM implementation over time. LAC Facilitator starts the conversation on the pre-work reading material supplemental guide in building a developmental/learning portfolio. To highlight key learnings of the lesson, the LAC Facilitator may use the following synthesis questions: 1. Why do we need to have pre-determined and self-selected MOVs? 2. How does aligning the MOVs with the professional standards help? 3. How can practicum portfolio building be stress-free? 4. What MOVs from the 2020-2021 RPMS portfolio can be used in my LDM Portfolio? Vice versa? 5. What other questions do you have that might need clarification? Note: These questions may be taken note of by the LAC Leader and brought up to your respective LDM Coach for further clarification Big Group/Plenary Synthesis and Action Planning The LAC Facilitator synthesizes insights shared and understanding gained from reading the supplemental guide. 5-10 minutes The LAC Facilitator asks members to identify the help they can give or would need in building their own practicum portfolio and those of others. LAC Facilitator sets a schedule for coaching/peer coaching sessions. Completion of reports The LAC members complete the Teachers Engagement Report 2 minutes The LAC Facilitator completes the Leaders LAC Session Report TOTAL 50-60 minutes Guides on Building Your LDM Practicum Portfolio 2 LDM2__ Learning Delivery Modalities Course for Teachers Supplemental Guide in Building Your LDM Practicum Portfolio In the last LDM pre-implementation module, you have learned that a portfolio is a tool that can be used to record and reflect on one’s learning progress. In the LDM course, the practicum portfolio you have been building enables you to make connections between the module-based learning experiences and how these help you in doing your actual tasks. Artifacts or what we commonly refer to as means of verification (MOV) capture this progress and provide evidence that you have been applying in the workplace what you have learned in the modules.This kind of integrative learning contributes to having a more personalized, relevant, and meaningful professional development experience. This supplemental guide aims to help you identify the essential artifacts in your LDM practicum portfolio. LDM Portfolio Guidelines Table Guide ★ The first column lists the artifacts that are aligned to the daily outputs that you create during the course of the year. ★ Second column describes the artifact to be collected. ★ Third column indicates the professional standards that are met by the respective output. Note that: ○ This provides information into how LDM outputs align with the SY 2020-2021 RPMS portfolio, which can guide you in determining which outputs you can include in your IPCRF. ○ There could be other strands in which the artifacts may contribute to their attainment but are not indicated in the table. Types of Portfolio Artifacts ★ The LDM Practicum Portfolio artifacts fall into two categories, required and self-selected: ○ Required artifacts are artifacts that you have to include in the portfolio, as this covers the standard work that you do in the LDMs. ○ Self-selected artifacts are those that you might consider having in your portfolio to satisfy the criteria used in assessing it. ★ This is not an exhaustive list. You may add artifacts from your work that better illustrates your learning and application of the course. Use the Practicum Portfolio Rubric to guide your artifact selection. Guides on Building Your LDM Practicum Portfolio 3 Formatting Guidelines ★ The LDM practicum portfolio can be submitted in either printed or digital form. ○ Digital submissions may be collated in a slide deck (Google Slides or Powerpoint), stored in a folder, or other digital forms that your SDO may provide. A digital or electronic submission is encouraged to reduce physical contact during the pandemic and ease portfolio management. ○ Printed submissions may be compiled in a folder or envelope. ★ The following elements also have to be included in your portfolio: ○ Cover/title page ○ Table of contents included after the title page/cover to help readers navigate the portfolio ○ Short annotations that highlight the demonstration of progress in the implementation of the LDM and the information on the relevant strand/s in which the artifacts contribute to. Figure 1. Sample Portfolio Page Layout. Submission ★ Submission schedule: April-July 2021. Coordinate with your RO/SDO LDM Program Management Team for the specific dates. ★ Artifacts can be gathered throughout the school year. ★ Practicum portfolio raters and evaluation form managers shall follow the same system used in the submission of pre-implementation outputs. They may use the same drives, focal persons, and procedures in the collection and consolidation of outputs and evaluation forms. Guides on Building Your LDM Practicum Portfolio 4 Evaluation ★ Evaluation forms shall follow a similar consolidation structure as pre-implementation. Evaluators shall record portfolio scores using Individual Reports, while Form Managers shall consolidate results into a List of Completers. The evaluation forms for specific job groups are as follows: ○ Individual Reports (accomplished by the respective Evaluators) ■ LDM Form 1P - LDM Portfolio Evaluation of School Heads ■ LDM Form 2P - LDM Portfolio Evaluation of Supervisors ■ LDM Form 3.1P - LDM Portfolio Evaluation of LAC Leaders (MTs, HTs, Senior Ts) ■ LDM Form 3.2P - LDM Portfolio Evaluation of Teachers ○ List of Completers (accomplished by Form Managers) ■ LDM Form 4P - List of LDM Portfolio Completers ★ Download Evaluation Forms at bit.ly/ldmportfolioeval. Presentation (optional) ★ Evaluators may hold a practicum portfolio conference with each LDM participant where he/she presents his/her outputs and reflection. Evaluators are also encouraged to facilitate a conversation on what the presenter has just shared. This individual portfolio presentation conference may take 20-30 minutes. It could be done virtually or in-person, subject to the guidelines issued by the local government unit.
