BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines is part of the worldwide pandemic of Coronavirus disease. During this time, the country is devastated by the global health crises not only affecting the economy but most of all the Educational system. Since the disruption of Covid-19 in educational system, pivotal decisions were made to bridge education without compromising health and safety by shifting to remote learning modalities. Mabuhay National High School crafted the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BELCP) to guide schools in the delivery of education in times of pandemic featuring the streamlined Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCS). However, learning loses were noted during the implementation of Modular Distance Learning. As stated in the Division LRCP, UNICEF reported that majority (84%) of Filipino adults believed that children are learning less in the remote learning. Early research points to the disruptions to in-person learning experienced in school year 2020–21 could result in students losing between 3 and 11 months of learning (Dorn et. al. 2020; Kuhfeld and Tarasawa, 2021). In order to address the arising problem of learning lose with consideration of equitable resources of the school. Mabuhay National High School crafted TAMDANAN sa Hiniusang Pagbangon og PagPADAJUN alang sa Mabuhayong Edukasyon . This serves as a blue print of recovery and learning strategies of the school that will guide in transcending against learning pitfalls and get learners back to learning trajectory.

Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan Framework Mabuhay NHS LRCP framework is anchored with the Learning on the three pillars of the Enhanced Learning Continuity of the Division of Agusan del SUr. PA for Paving Access which aims to ensure complete access of learners to learning opportunities, DA for Delving Actions on empowering programs and projects towards providing quality education for better learning outcomes and JUN for Joint Undertakings toward best Normal that promotes the AGSUR (Achieving Goals through Strengthened Unity and Responsibility) thrust of the division, PADAJUN ang Edukasyon sa DepEd Agusan del Sur will always be its battle cry as it is now gearing on creating key strategies to help learners back to their pre-pandemic learning path. With the keyword PADAJUN, an Agsurnon word which literally means to continue and now infused with healing strategies for learning, this Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan is designed to enable AgSurnon learners to recover their learning trajectories. This is also based on the Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan Framework of DepEd Caraga, which summarizes the key elements of the RAPID Framework of the World Bank into three key dimensions for Learning Recovery and Acceleration, DepEd Agsur LRCP envisioned a learner that recovers from all the learning deficits during the period of learning loss through its intervening strategies. The three dimensions adapted from DepEd-Caraga LRCP are enlivened by DepEd AgSur’s pillars PADAJUN. Each key dimension has been strengthened to ensure that every learner in the province will be reached. PADAJUN for Learning Acceleration, Remediation, and Intervention PADAJUN on cultivating Health, Well-being, and Resilience D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 PADAJUN on providing Professional Development Considering the first key stage of the recovery plan of the RAPID framework as the most crucial part to realizing this LRCP, reaching every child and keeping them in school will be given great emphasis. Establishing this facet of the learning recovery process is vital in realizing each element of the framework as the objectives of each pillar will focus on opening the gateways of every school and delving into actions that will ensure all children are returning to and remaining in school. SDO Agusan del Sur’s goal of recovering learning loss through magnifying classroom learning by giving emphasis to bringing foundational concepts of learners from a curve due to the pandemic into its normal trajectory. DepEd AgSur’s LRCP framework shows no boundaries among its components as it signifies interconnectedness among its thrusts thereby creating key strategies to realize its goal for the learner of this school year. Encompassing all the key elements of the framework are the joint undertakings of stakeholders and education financing, which play a great role in serving as the backbone and the support system to realize learners’ learning recovery. D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 Figure 5: Adopted Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan Framework of Mabuhay National High School B. Key Dimensions LRCP KEY DIMENSION 1: Learning Acceleration, Remediation, and Intervention PADAJUN MABUHAY NHS BOOSTING LEARNING ACCELERATION, REMEDIATION, AND INTERVENTION The COVID-19 virus has created the greatest disruption to educational systems in history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion students in more than 190 countries on all continents and sparking global fear. Closing of schools and other learning places has had an influence on 94% of the world’s student population (United Nations, 2020). Closures are frequently associated with significant “learning losses”, which have been recorded in North America, Western Europe, and Africa, among other places (Alexander et al., 2007; Andrabi et al., 2021; Angrist et al., 2020b; Cooper et al., 1996; Davies & D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 Aurini, 2013; Jaume & Willén, 2019; Slade et al., 2017). According to The Glossary of Education Reform (2013): the term learning loss refers to any specific or general loss of knowledge and skills or to reversals in academic progress, most commonly due to extended gaps or discontinuities in a student’s education.” Formal education—whether in-person or online— provides students with critical information and skills for growth and development. As a result, discontinuing formal schooling may have a detrimental effect on children’s learning results (Bao et al., 2020). The study conducted by Kuhfed Megan, 2022 on the impacts of COVID-19 on the learning of students showed a great leap in the degradation of academic performance of learners in major subjects. Similarly, the School Monitoring, Evaluation, and Adjustments (SMEA) results of Mabuhay NHS on the Mean Percentile Scores (MPS) on summative exams of the learners showed a percent decrease in most of its subjects. Dimension 1 of the Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan of the school directs its response to the most important aspect of deliverables of the department. Strengthening Learning Acceleration, Remediation and Intervention aim to help struggling learners to attain academic success. Learning Acceleration is an instructional process that aims to improve learners access to and mastery of grade level competencies. It enables students who are lagging to meet or surpass the specified grade level standards. On the other hand, reteaching the material to students who have previously struggled to understand is referred as Learning Remediation. It is designed to close the gap between what students know and what they’re expected to know. Interventions, in the context of the school LRCP are tools in plugging learning gaps. It is a process that uses inquiry-based educational approach to address specific skill deficiencies to regain learning progress. D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 Figure 6: Algorithm for Learning Acceleration, Remediation, and Intervention Figure 6 depicts an algorithm on the differences of the three learning strategies adapted from the division and regional LRCP. Mabuhay National High School aim of recovering learning from the periods of learning loss give rise to various drives of the school directing towards learning recovery. Revolving on the critical priorities identified by UNESCO on its COVID19 Education Response, this dimension come up with the following key strategic objectives: (1) Ensure all children return to and stay in school, (2) Ensure the conduct of learning assessment and analysis of needs and gaps, (3) Formulate intervention projects/activities on the different subject areas (4) Ensure the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of intervention projects/activities (5) Analyze learning gains, (6) Prioritize teaching the fundamentals, and (7) Increase the efficiency of instruction through learning recovery programs. KEY DIMENSION 2: Health, Wellbeing and Resilience D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 PADAJUN MABUHAY NHS ON STRENGTHENING HEALTH AND WELL BEING AND RESILIENCE World Vision (2022) underscores the paramount importance of an optimum health and holistic wellbeing among learners for a maximum acquisition of learning to take place- the ultimate goal of the educative process. Despite of its viewed significance the recent report of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) posits 70% of learners and teachers experience deprivation of basic mental health services, nutrition, sanitation, hygiene during the pandemic which had inadvertently resulted to poor nutrition, declining mental health and deteriorating wellbeing. The impacts of disrupted services are compounded by students and school personnel missing out on peer support and vital school programs and activities to school closures, cancelled events (Craig, S., Ames, M. E., Bondi, B. C., Pepler, D. 2020). The aforesaid findings align with the situation of the school in terms of health and wellbeing as reflected in the School Monitoring and Evaluation SY 2021-2022 (SMEA) and the reports coming from the office of the Medical Officer. Recently updated database of the school shows that only 90% completely vaccinated school personnel against the 100% target. 10 % or 2 teaching staff are in the 1st dose only. In addition, only 92% of the learners were already vaccinated against the projected of 100% vaccination before the opening of the class. Mabuhay national High School has identified five (5) key strategies to realize it’s rally towards promoting Health, Wellbeing and Resilience among its learners, teachers and personnel anchored on its contextualized “PADAJUN” LRCP Framework conjoined with key elements of the RAPID Framework for Learning Recovery and Acceleration. The school believes that these key strategies aim to bring the learners back to their learning D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 trajectories and be resilient for the forthcoming pandemic like blows by strengthening programs projects and activities that promote health, wellbeing and resilience. The Second dimension focuses on the following key strategic objectives (1) Develop psychological health and well-being among K-12 Learners, Teaching and Non-Teaching; (2) School Personnel and Student Resilience; 3) Bolster school-based nutrition services and feeding program; (4) Safeguard Student Safety ; and 5) Implement school-based water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Responses. Promoting psychosocial health and wellbeing among learners and personnel through strengthening of the implementation of school’s wide projects and the conduct of various health related remediation activities assure focus of learning among learners. This entails effective implementation of School Based Feeding Programs, Dental Care, activities propelled by National Drug Education Program (NDEP) , Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD), Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH), Department of Health (DOH) and many other programs which support psychosocial health and wellbeing among learners and personnel. Building teacher resilience is another top priority of the second dimension which mainly focuses on giving access among teachers and learners on MHPPS or the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, Physical Fitness Related Programs, Spiritual Upliftment Activities and the Development of Adversity Quotient which will make teachers future proof and adaptive to the possible recurrence of pandemic like disasters. Intensifying implementation of Health and Nutrition Program such as GPP (Gulayan sa Paaralan) SBFP (School Based Feeding Program), Deworming Activities and Wash in Schools (WinS) also assures bringing D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 back learners from their learning trajectories after the pandemic by making them healthy and ready for new meaningful learning. Ensuring safety of learners and the implementation of school-based water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are also included in this dimension, where learners are given access to clean potable water and functional toilets. Key Dimension 3: Professional Development PADAJUN MABUHAY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL ON STRENTHENING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Research shows demonstrating the effectiveness of professional development programs, has significant implications for any organizations, (Alam et.al.,2010). Due to COVID-19 pandemic, education proved to be difficult due to lack of training, resources, and funding to adequately provide what every student and teacher needed (World Bank Organization, 2022) Professional development for teachers is more than training or classes as it is an agent to change classroom practice. It is essential and beneficial for experienced teachers to go through continuous and regular chances to learn from one another. Teachers remain up to date on new research on how children learn, new tools & resources, emerging technology so on through continuous professional development (San, 2017). Ongoing professional development such as support for teachers, mentoring, and technical support from experienced digital technology professionals are critical to implementing educational recovery strategies. Teachers need support from education systems and school leaders so that they can support their students and accelerate learning while gaining learning losses during the pandemic. D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 Based on SMEA report for the S.Y 2021-2022, 5 out of 18 teachers or 27% of teachers are not trained with content, pedagogy/instruction, localization/contextualization, assessment, and learning resource materials. This implies the pressing need for additional training opportunities for teachers to be equipped with the necessary Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, and Values to promote effective learning. In response, Mabuhay NHS has identified 4 key strategies to bridge the gap of the losses on the Professional Development Dimension with the guidance of the division contextualized framework dubbed as “PADAJUN”. PADAJUN framework supports key objectives such as (1) Support teacher's resilience, (2) Support teacher's instructionally (3) Support teachers technologically, and (4) Support school heads and supervisors instructionally and administratively. The professional development dimension aims to support the teacher’s essential knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values in adapting to the learning recovery program of the school. These KSAVs will help close the gaps, catchup learning deficit, and promote psychosocial support imperative to the challenge of time.

The in-depth analysis of the previous and current situation and status of teaching-learning delivery, participated by key personnel of the school such as the school heads, teachers, and stakeholders revealed a bigger picture of both the challenges and best practices, as well as promising solutions and executable targets for recovering learning losses and learning continuity in the best normal. At the center of the school’s learning recovery plan is Dimension 1 which focuses on learning acceleration, remediation, and intervention. Three (3) major strategies under the first dimension emerged to be crucial and priority for hitting the overall target of the BELRCP of the school. As the pandemic situation becomes less and less restricting, the school seems to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Back-to-school campaigns are expected to inform the public of the mechanisms and important dates for sending all types of learners across curricular levels back to school. Enhanced with warning systems for DRRM such as weather forecasts, health and safety protocols, the school shall exhibit its readiness or preparedness to accommodate and secure incoming learners. Having identified financial and economic challenges among learners and their families, boosting the no collection policy, feeding programs and facilitation of 4Ps benefits shall serve as strong support for them to pursue their education despite the hindrances identified. The services of the school transcend across varying geographical boundaries and diverse characteristics of learners. Child mapping, tracking, and profiling allows the schools in the division to identify and adjust services to cater diverse learners, thereby ensuring easy and convenient access to schools and education. Parents-school partnership shall be vital in for the learners to connect and sustain their educational goals and engagement. Moreover, D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 other external stakeholders shall bridge further the learners' connection to schools and hope to continue education. Analysis of current physical situations of schools also reveals possible hindrances for learners to pursue education. The pandemic and calamities that significantly caused facilities and equipment damages could hamper the smooth opening of classes. The school shall ensure the preparation of school facilities and equipment for conducive learning environment and continuous school operation through programs, projects, and activities such as the conduct of Oplan Balik Eskwela and Brigada Eskwela. The second strategy of the school is to formulate and implement a catch-up education program to realize the targets of the school’s recovery plan to ensure an increase in the efficiency of instruction and improve students learning. Essential to facilitate the low-performing learners' "catching-up on lessons" mechanism is a more focused remediation approach. Special feature of the strategy of grouping learners according to their level of proficiency, not on their age or grade level for a dedicated time of the day shall also address the emerging concern of schools on extending school-time and teachers' load. Through this strategy, the special grouping of students based on diagnostic assessment shall introduce reading and numeracy sessions for 1-2 hours in a day to accelerate their learning progress until they are ready or achieve the level of competency suitable to their age and/or grade level. In the regular delivery of day-to-day lessons, as well as that of special classes and remediation, quality-assured teaching and learning materials shall be made accessible. Ensuring the utilization of printed and digitized learning materials such as e-book references, modules, video lessons and radio-based lessons using the tablets shall be part of the priority action to ensure various modalities, preference and suitable platforms are taken into consideration for learners' easy access. While the group catching-up lesson sessions are in place, the school shall also ascertain the conduct of individualized instruction to identified learners that need support on specific learning areas. Diverse learners' needs presented to D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 be of concern as these may greatly vary in learning area, focus, interest, and learners' personality. Thus, an individualized approach shall address further the learning gaps experienced by the unique needs of students. Independent learners shall not be neglected throughout the recovery process. They too, together with the low-performing learners must be given attention and continued learning interventions. Maximizing the utilization of self-learning modules for independent learners shall sustain and even improve more their academic performance as the recovery actions are in place. Finally, every moment or time of the day can be an opportunity for learners to learn and improve especially during the recovery phases. To ensure maximization of learning time among learners, the utilization of other formats of learning materials such as SLMs (printed and digitized) during learners' free time, weekends, and absence from classes (if applicable) shall supplement their learning whether they are at school or outside of the school. The teachers shall first assess and analyze learning needs and gaps. Essential to the identification of the current learning status or knowledge of the learners shall be the conduct of diagnostic assessments. Thus, the school shall develop and utilize learning assessment or diagnostic tools with its results to be the bases of identifying important learning gaps. Crucial to the process is the actual assessment administration for both diagnostic and achievement tests. The administration shall be standardized, and mechanisms must be established. Diagnostic assessment results are baseline data for deciding more specific interventions to bridge learning gaps among learners and achievement tests/ assessments are measures of the degree of our target accomplishments. The school formulates contextualized catch-up learning program that caters essential learning gaps of the students. Learning recovery targets may be new to some or many school personnel and therefore capacitating teachers in formulating and implementing customized needs-based learning recovery strategies is crucial. The capacity-building activities shall also D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 include designing and implementing in-school and after-school learning support mechanisms and development of various formative assessment tools. Important also in the catch-up plan is ensuring analysis of learning gains. This important strategy will serve as basis for evaluation of the effectiveness of the implemented interventions. In this strategy, achievement/summative assessment tools shall be developed, administered, analyzed, and validated as to its result. The cyclical process shall ensure the learners are gaining what is intended to be gained throughout the learning activities. The third strategy focuses on ensuring the prioritization of the foundational skills and conceptual pre-requisites in teaching plans. Foundation skills were noted to be neglected during the implementation of distance learning because of the absence of a More Knowledgeable Person (MKP) in many households. By including and honing the skills of learners in reading, math, critical digital skills, and socioemotional competencies through lesson planning, hitting the targets and filling up the specific learning gaps and losses shall be dealt with accurately and holistically. Furthermore, some pre-requisite contents in many learning areas were also noted to have been neglected because of less control and loose monitoring among teachers handling distance learning. This shall be addressed and recovered through assessment of status and ensuring coverage of content that must be learned as prerequisites.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), children learn best when they are safe, healthy, and adequately nourished. Children's involvement and retention are increased, attendance and participation are likewise augmented, especially to the most vulnerable students who are the most affected sector of the society in this pandemic. Strategy/Objective 1: Strengthening psychosocial health and well- being among learners, teaching and non-teaching personnel, several activities are laid: School-Based Feeding Program. Ensure that the school religiously implement this program of the Department of Education, assuring that the identified learners under this program shall achieve the desired weight and nourishment.. Dental Care Program. The school will invite partners to achieve the implementation of this program National Drug Education Program (NDEP) /Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD). The school shall see to it that the BKD is fully functional, and that focal person shall suggest activities and other school level plans in reiterating to our learners the importance of a drug-free school and community, therefore creating a conducive learning environment. Mental Health. The conduct of this activity is timely for the crucial transition of educational set-up in the reopening of all schools for the faceto- face classes. The school will design school level activities, seminars, symposia or even classroom maneuverings just to produce learners ready to face adversities and prepare the mental being to respond positively to whatever uncertainties may lie ahead. D.O Plaza Government Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, 8500 Agusan del Sur depedagusandelsur@deped.gov.ph (085) 839-5456 Comprehensive Sexuality Education Programs/ Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH). The school shall conduct orientation about sexual education Bakuna. In alliance with the Local Government Unit (LGU) through IATF and its Medical Team, the school will coordinate on the massive vaccination among students who are not yet fully vaccinated and booster shots for some students who completed the basic vaccination Project HIMSoG (Hiniusang Inisyatibo sa Pagbuntog sa Malnutrisyon, Sakit ug Gutom alang sa mga Agusanon).This is a division adopted program. Activities are based on the division project to fight Malnutrition among learners. We CARE (Compassion, Action, and Resource Enhancement). Another division adopted program to make sure all, including our teachers are properly assisted in their journey as a teacher and as a human being. The school will implement activities based on the project. Ensure the conduct of psycho-social support among learners from G7 to G12 learners. In this program , the school will initialize activities: symposia, classroom orientation or any other activities that are embedded in the lessons which are vital in helping the students in coping with the negative impact of the pandemic in their lives and prepare them for inperson classroom setting. All schools then must submit accomplishment report or narrative and other data for substantive documentation to the division office.

This activity entails several basic sets of physical exercise regimen for our teachers and students alike. The school will devise activities through the school Mapeh Coordinator to implement regularly for mental and body fitness. Conducting Spiritual Upliftment/Development of Adversity Quotient Seminar. This program on the spiritual upliftment must not only focus to learners but most specially for our teachers as they too have been affected with exhausting and demanding tasks in life as whole.. Conducting seminar on Preventing Financial Stress. Provident Loan as capital for start- up business. Holding seminar on preventing stress financial stress would mean that any Private Lending Institutions (PLIs) should conduct refreshing orientation on proper disposition of finances. Strategy/Objective 3: Bolster school-based nutrition services and feeding program. The school shall ensure effective implementation of Health and Nutrition Programs: Gulayan sa Paaralan Program (GPP) Deworming These potent program/activities: Gulayan sa Paaralan Program is also dubbed as self-sustaining program of the school that can be replicated in the community. While deworming is also key for ensuring healthy learners ready to learn in school. Both accomplishment reports are needed by the division focal persons respectively for monitoring and evaluation. Strategy/Objective 4: Mabuhay National High School also ensures the learners' safety on the opening of face to face classes. To do this, the school ensures strong implementation of DepEd Order 44 s. 2015 on safety and friendly environment in the school.

With the primary goal of bridging or closing the learning loss and gaps caused by the two-year distance learning brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, all teachers, together with the school heads and supervisors, must be equipped with the requisite tools to be able to implement, monitor and support the implementation of new strategies to be able to successfully provide appropriate remediation/enrichment/intervention strategies and address the need to “recover” learning loss or forgotten learning. For Key Dimension 3, Mabuhay National High School adopted the 3point strategy of the Division of Agusan del sur namely: (a.) Provision of Instructional Support; (b.) Provision of Technological Support; and (c.) Provision of Support to Program Coordinators First strategy is PD activities on instructional support for teachers who are considered as the key actors in planning and implementing academic intervention/ remediation/ enrichment. The completion of the Self-Assessment Tool for Teachers shall provide the schools, district and DepEd a more definite data on their specific needs. Teachers also should be given and oriented with the menu of learning delivery or evidence-based approaches that they may employ as bridging strategies for recovery and acceleration. In addition, they should be reskilled or upskilled on developing appropriate and reliable assessment tools as assessment for and of learning; on recording, interpreting and utilizing assessment data; and on the various reading and numeracy strategies. __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 Second strategy is on providing technological support to teachers as ICT plays as a significant tool in the learning recovery and continuity. This starts with tracking of teachers in the school with/without access to technology e.g., owned, provided by school, and issuance of a division memorandum on providing and ensuring 1:1 teacher: laptop/gadget. Since ICT is better learned when doing it hands-on and immediately applying new learned skills in the workplace (job-embedded learning), one-on-one coaching or technical support with a colleague who is ICT proficient or expert while experiencing it hands-on is the best way to learn and become ICT proficient, too. After putting up the online repository for all the developed, quality-assured, and pooled learning materials, a virtual orientation on the how’s and where to access (guidebook/instructional manual) shall also be set. Third strategy is on providing support to program coordinators – Guided by the premise that you cannot give what you do not have, designated coordinators, should be given constant technical assistance . school head will also conduct series of coaching activities to empower and improve their potentials. D. Phases of Implementation Phase 1: Immediate and short-term strategies/interventions The recovery of the educational learning process is dependent on the timely and rapid deployment of appropriate educational planning techniques and interventions. The first immediate action should be to determine the availability of resources, both manpower, and materials, to ensure that a safe and healthy learning support system is established once students __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 gradually return to their usual classroom environment. School head will conduct activities that will lead to contextualization and implementation of proposed strategies for addressing learning loss and other appropriate and quickly actionable approaches while ensuring that students and staff’s health and safety are not compromised. Strategies and activities to accelerate academic and student well-being recovery shall commence before the opening of classes and shall be implemented until the first quarter of School Year 2022-2023. Phase 2: Long-term strategies/interventions Review and analyze student data from Phase 1 strategies/ interventions. Adjust and begin long-term planning of recovery and acceleration strategies/interventions for Quarters 2 to 4 of SY 2022-2023 implementation. Phase 3: Sustainable improvements Continue the improvement cycle for strategies/interventions implemented in Phases 1 and 2 by reviewing and analyzing the collected data to inform the next steps and engage in long-term sustained strategies for SY 2023-2024 and beyond. E. Shared Responsibility 1. Roles, Functions, and Accountabilities a. Schools and School-based Learning Centers/Community Learning Centers Schools and school-based learning centers/community learning centers are the frontline of any education system. This is where the real process of teaching and learning takes place, and teachers are the ones with the direct authority to provide instructional innovations and interventions. For learners to successfully recover from the disruptions caused by the __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 COVID-19 pandemic, teachers need to be sufficiently empowered and supported. As schools reopen, teachers must address not only learners’ academic recovery but also their emotional and socio-economic well-being. b. School Head School administrator will focus on providing professional and instructional assistance to the teachers/facilitators/coordinators of schools . c. Teaching Personnel Teachers will ensure that programs of their respective areas will realized and be implemented to cater and address the learning Gaps of the learners. d. Non-Teaching Personnel – Provide support to the teaching staff in realizing each programs 2. Stakeholders’ Engagement Engaging our stakeholders is important to our undertakings, especially when we need your ‘finger on the pulse’. We want our stakeholders to work with us, and not against us. Engaging them build community relations and be responsive to them. Stakeholder and external partner engagement should be strengthened in all four phases of the Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan implementation. Plans and strategies to close learning gaps and accelerate learning will be more effective and long-term when LGUs, NGAs, NGOs, parents, alumni, and anyone else willing to help students reverse the impact of the pandemic on learning are supported. 3. Communication Plan A communications plan is a written strategy of communication actions designed to achieve certain organizational goals or objectives. You want your message to be heard by the right people, at the right time, and in the right __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 context. It assists to increase positive awareness of the goals, plan of actions of the organization and boosts positive public relations. Strategic communication helps to ensure that any messages coming from an organization are being received appropriately by your different target audiences through an appropriate communication channel. This school LRCP must be communicated to all internal and external stakeholders-an essential step to ensure shared responsibility. Communication Channel Dissemination of School LRCP (Tamdanan sa Hiniusang Pagbangon og PagPADAJUN sa Edukasyon) to the School Personnel (Face to face meeting) Orientation & Enhance ment of School LRCP (Tamdanan sa Hiniusang Pagbangon og PagPADAJUN sa Edukasyon) (Face to face meeting) Orientation & presentation of School LRCP (Tamdanan sa Hiniusang Pagbangon og PagPADAJUN sa Edukasyon) (Face to face meeting) Target Audience Teaching and Non-Teaching Personnel Responsible Person School Head Schedule Teaching and Non-Teaching Personnel School Head September 6, 2022 Parents/ Stake holders School Head September 7, 2022 September 1, 2022 III. Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanism While the current standards offer us with a good head start, it is by no means a perfect system. Monitoring and evaluation enhance the effectiveness of DepEd by establishing clear links between past, present, __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 and future interventions and results. The DepEd Order No. 29 entitled “Adoption of the Basic Education Monitoring and Evaluation Framework” (BEMEF) serves as guide to all DepEd operating units across the governance level in the conduct of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E A. Context An overarching Monitoring and Evaluation Framework is the DepEd M and E Framework as adopted per DO 29, s. 2022. In evaluating the basis for identifying key evaluation questions, it is imperative that all basic education plans shall subscribe to the agency’s Intermediate Outcomes (IOs) and Enabling Mechanisms (Ems) when applicable. This framework sets out the proposed minimum monitoring and evaluation requirements to enable effective review of the LRCP. Further, an integrated M & E system shall be operationalized to ensure that each governance level can be efficiently and effectively perform its mandated roles and responsibilities. School M&E System A school-level system for doing M&E work will be established for use by the school head, teachers, community stakeholders, and learners to manage the learning process inside the classroom and school. The school M&E system will be designed to address the school’s decisionmaking needs and information requirements and those of its stakeholders. M&E processes, tools and templates, and reports will be designed based on school needs and mandates. groups. B. STRATEGY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 The Schools M & E system shall focus on determining effectiveness and inclusiveness environment of programs in providing supplemental learning and bridging learning gaps, thus customized M and E processes, M and E tools and techniques shall be integrated (vertically) and horizontally across units. The Quarterly Program Implementation Review (QPIR) shall be conducted to assess performance progress and identify any problems that may arise, and to immediately make corrective actions on bottlenecks affecting the implementation of the programs/projects. Annual or Year-end review shall be done to verify the achievement of Intermediate Outcomes (IOs). This aims to provide feedback on the effectiveness of strategies, outputs, and activities as contained in the LRCP. Further, this will show the efficiency of the school in the delivery of all the commitments outlined in the LRCP. This will be participated in by internal and external stakeholders. C. M&E FRAMEWORK The primary objective of monitoring is the utilization of inputs (activities) and outputs, (intermediate) outcomes are also being taken into consideration. On the other hand, evaluation usually occurs during post-activity schedules and paves way for an assessment of its long-term performance and efficiency. Evaluation is output-centric. The connections between the planning cycle, inputs, outputs, and output of the assessment is presented below. __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 Focus of Monitoring Focus of Evaluation Output measurement shows the realization of activities. It is important to note here that while the outcomes may be the focus of the evaluation, we also need to consider if it’s in-line with prior strategies as denoted by the solid arrow line connecting them. The dashed line also denotes the frequent and regular repetition and review of the connected processes. Outcome measurement shows in what degree direct objectives and anticipated results are realized. Without defining clear and measurable strategies, objectives and activities at the design stage, M&E becomes an impossible endeavor. This requires the development of measurable indicators: Specific, Measurable, Achievable / Agreed upon, Relevant/Realistic, Time-bound (SMART) that permit objective verification at a reasonable cost. The purpose of this framework is to provide a consistent approach to the monitoring and evaluation of the LRCP’s Programs and Projects, so that sufficient data and information is captured to review the progress and IOs contribution of the strategies and crafted interventions. Lessons learned will also be used to inform best practice guidelines. Below is the Logic Model for the LRCP as adopted contextualized Dep Ed Agusan del Sur LCRP SY 2022-2023.

RATIONALE Since the disruption of Covid-19 in educational system, pivotal decisions were made to bridge education without compromising health and safety by shifting to remote learning modalities. The Department of Education crafted the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BELCP) to guide schools in the delivery of education in times of pandemic featuring the streamlined Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCS). However, learning loses were noted during remote learning modalities. In a UNICEF survey majority (84%) of Filipino adults believed that children are learning less in the remote learning. Early research points to the disruptions to inperson learning experienced in school year 2020–2021 could result in students losing between 3 and 11 months of learning (Dorn et. al. 2020; Kuhfeld and Tarasawa, 2021). To meet the daunting challenges of learning loss with consideration of equitable resources, Mabuhay National High School crafted TAMDANAN SA Hiniusang Pagbangon og PagPADAJUN sa Edukasyon. This serves as the blueprint of recovery and learning strategies of the school that will compass all grade levels in transcending against learning pitfalls and get learners back to learning trajectory. Program Description This Catch-Up Education Plan is an educational intervention to address the learning losses brought about by remote learning modalities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Objectives: This Catch-Up Education Program aims to provide: __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 a. alternative educational ways to learners with learning losses such as, but not limited to literacy and numeracy skills; b. foundational preparatory/grade level readiness to learners entering the new grade level but are lagging behind/have not mastered the prerequisite competencies in the learning areas, and c. learners with opportunities for their wholistic development that are created and implemented through partnership among the school, community, and stakeholders of basic education. III. TARGET PARTICIPANTS/LEARNERS Specifically, the target learners are the ff. insert the result of the table of the result of flat.. numeracy and literacy result A. Learners with Low level Reading Proficiency B. Learners fall in the ff. a. Did not meet expectation (70-74) b. Fairly Satisfactory (75-79) c. Satisfactory (80-84) IV. COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAM A. Planning Mechanics 1. The school shall take the lead in planning for the implementation of this catch-up education program. The use of school data is extremely important in reaching learners who will benefit from this program. The following activities are to be conducted: a. Conduct individual assessment of learners using the FLAT in literacy and use customized tool for numeracy assessment then consolidate the result according to their learning needs/gaps. b. The generated data will be utilized to determine viable and appropriate educational interventions that are responsive to the __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 needs and diverse types of learners. Identify suitable and available locations for implementation, potential teachers/facilitators/volunteers, instructional resources and possible partners to support the program. B. Program Implementation 1. Organize and orient all the teachers and parents of the beneficiaries and other involved stakeholders. 2. Provide clear roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in all program activities. 3. Articulate the resource-sharing arrangements, 4. The schedule of implementation should be clearly discussed. Below is the suggested timetable of activities. Responsible Members Period of Implementation August SCHOOL Conduct of PERSONNEL orientation AND OTHER Mapping of STAKEHOLDERS least learned competencies and profiling of learners SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS September Conduct of initial assessment Submission of data to the Division Office Start of the catch-up activities October November Continuation of the catch-up activities SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS Division Office December Assessment Provide strong support on activities in the school’s catch-up activities Provide technical assistance Consolidate data and submit reports to the Regional Office Conduct close monitoring and evaluation Coordinate with Regional Office in terms of technical and logistic support Document program __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 accomplishment report and submit to the Regional Office 5. The schools shall start conducting catch-up activities after the learners have been identified, assessed, and properly referred to or placed in their appropriate educational interventions. 6. The catch-up program shall be conducted after classes, or the school may opt for a shortened period of classes to give ample time for intervention activities. 7. The catch-up program can also be implemented by pull out system wherein another teacher/facilitator will be assigned to cater the learners in the catch-up program. ( CONTEXTUALIZED THE PROCESS OF THE INTERVENTION IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL.. NARRAR C. Program Delivery Mode 1. School-based catch-up classes can be done to those identified learners after regular/shortened class periods. 2. School-based classes can also be done to those who will opt for pull-out system if there are available classrooms. If there are rooms used for a half a day, these can be utilized as classrooms for pull-out classes in the catch-up program. 3. Home-based catch-up classes can be done to the learners preferably with gadgets. Their learning can be remediated and enhanced through TVBI using video lessons and digitized learning sheets through the use of tablets, RBI lessons through tablets/radios, and using the printed activity sheets and other reading materials. D. Curriculum for the Catch-Up Program The Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) were provided by DepED as the primary reference for all schools in determining and __________________________________________________________________________________________ � D.O. Plaza Gov’t Center, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur � deped.agusandelsur.gov.ph � (085) 839-5456 implementing learning delivery approaches that are suited to the local context and diversity of learners, while adapting the challenges posed by COVID-19. The MELCs enable teachers to focus instruction to the most essential competencies that all learners must acquire, thus, developing them to lifelong learners. V. GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THE CARCH-UP PROGRAM To ensure full support on the program implementation, the schools may design measures when appropriate, to wit: 1. Formulate MOA with other stakeholders or members involved in the program for continued support; 2. Explore possibilities to grant service credits to teachers willing to serve with reference to DepED Order No. 23, s. 2003, Updated Guidelines on Grant of Vacation Service Credits to teachers; and 3. Provide assistance in terms of contingency needs of the teachers, facilitators, e.g. basic supplies and instructional materials, etc. VI. PROGRAM MONITORING AND EVALUATION To ensure effectiveness of the implementation program, the Schools Division Office is expected to: 1. Conduct close monitoring as well as provide technical assistance to ascertain compliance of the catch-up program as planned; 2. Gather feedbacks from the program implementers as basis for planning, improvement, and policy formulation, and 3.
