MODULE 5
PLANNING FOR CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AND LAC PLANNING - LAC 5

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 and jot down your answers in your Study
Notebook:

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

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

3. Why is writing down your reflections an integral part of your Portfolio?

Answers:
1.Portfolios can encourage students to take more ownership and responsibility over the
learning process. In some schools, portfolios are a way for students to critique and evaluate
their own work and academic progress, often during the process of deciding what will be
included in their portfolios.

2.The evidences from the previous modules that will help capture the progress of my
teaching practices are Unpacked MELCs, WHLP. ILMP and LDMs.

3.Reflection is a process of exploring and examining ourselves, our perspectives, attributes,

experiences and actions/interactions. It helps us gain insight and see how to move forward.
Reflection is often done as writing, possibly because this allows us to probe our reflections
and develop them more thoughtfully.

ACTIVITY 3.

Familiarize yourself with the List of Suggested Evidence Form. Is the list of evidence
enough to capture the progress of your teaching practice? What other evidence can you think
of that is relevant to the LDM adopted by your School? Write down your answers and other
insights in your Study Notebook.

Answer:
Yes, the list is enough to capture the progress of teaching practice since it is a list with
evidence and on current basis.
ACTIVITY 4.

In your LAC Session, discuss your answers and thoughts on the questions from Activities 2
and 3 with your colleagues.

LESSON DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT IN THE
MODALITIES - LAC 3A

Lesson 1 Activity 1
Answers:

The four modalities prescribed in the LCP are the following:

Face-to face (F2F)- this is the old normal set-up of education. There is an actual physical contact wherein
the teacher faces the pupils in delivering instruction. Higher percentage of learning is guaranteed in this kind
of set-up because the needs of pupils are immediately answered and responded by the teachers to the best of
his/ her capabilities. Face-to face mode of learning is the oldest form of learning and perceptibly quite the
most effective.

Distance Learning- a set-up where education is delivered amidst distance between the teacher and the
pupils. This is made possible either by digital or printed modules. Parents, guardians, and older siblings are
encourage to assist the pupils in accomplishing the tasks.

Blended Learning- a combination of online and modular learning. This is an effective alternative due to
difficulty of situations.

Homeschooling- Parents act as teachers to pupils. Some well- to- do family hires tutor teach their child.

MODULE 3B
LEARNING RESOURCES - LAC 3B

Answer:
1. For Online Distance learning, we have the online SLM, online activities/ exercises, and for
the Modular distance learning we have the Printed SLM.

2. Yes, we have the complete printed SLMs.

3. We need updated LRs, seminars, and workshops about how to maximize the use of LRs.
Although webinars are already done, thorough technical assistance are always welcome to
provide clearer understanding of our present set up.

4. All the materials are appropriate to the pupils level of learning because surely, before
printing and publishing them, panels of editors were there to ensure the reliability and
accuracy of said SLMs.

We can support our colleagues in their undertaking morally and by lending them printers and other
needed materials available to us. Technical assistance may also be provided by higher ranking
teachers.

MODULE 3B
LEARNING RESOURCES - LAC 3B

Answers:

1. The LDM adopted by DESES is Modular Distance Learning. The DepEd

portals are providing great help to teachers and schools for it gives us
alternative source of information aside from what are provided to us.

2. The challenge that we anticipate is for the struggling readers and the parents
who are not that literate. How can they guide their child in studying if they can’t
understand the written text?

3. DepEd portals are enough to provide us LRs need for the new normal.
Insights and helpful information regarding the use of LR portals that
I learned from our LAC session:

Learning portals are alternative platform use for providing information

aside from printed SLMs. These portals are necessary to give additional
source of information for educators and learners alike. We should be
critical in gathering information and be sure that only verified and
approved portals are our source of data.

MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES (MELCs )
LAC 2
ACTIVITY 1. Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:

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?
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?

Answers:
1. The fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum standards is how can
the competencies be mastered by the learners since there is no face to face
learning. Teachers cannot do it alone because there should be partnership
between the teachers and parents who assists the learning of their children.
2. The congested curriculum is not the only issue that affects learners’
performance in school. Some of our learners did not master the
fundamental skills that are being stressed out before in teaching process.

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. Write your
answers in your Study Notebook.
1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning competencies?
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable learning competencies?
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?
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction?

Answers for Activity 2 (MELC s):

1. MELCS’ general aim is to concentrate on the most essential skills a child requires to
learn and to uphold the quality of the curriculum.
2. Mapping of the essential and desirable learning competencies within the curriculum.
3. 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 that may
not be necessary in building foundation skills.
4. It would be important for students to acquire the competency after she/he left that
particular grade level.
5. The importance of MELC is ensuring the delivery of the quality instruction are they
serve as one of the guide for teachers as they address the instructional needs of learners
while ensuring that curriculum standards are maintained and achieved and to assist
schools in navigating the limited numbers of school days as they employ multiple
delivery schemes by providing them ample instructional space.Academic experts
worked to retained, merged/clustered, rephrased and removed/dropped the different
learning competencies.

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 in your Study Notebook and compare the two documents to determine
which learning competencies were retained, dropped, or merged.

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, in your Study Notebook.

1. DepEd made the big move of revising LC’s just to make assure that the learners will
receive quality education despite the hindrances in the new normal.
2. Is very important to us teachers to embrace the new learning modalities to ensure
quality transfer of learning competencies.
3. Not all MELCs need to be combined if they are attainable in a certain period of time.

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 in your Study Notebook:

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

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

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

Answers :
1. The importance of unpacking and combining the MELCs is to deliver quality
instruction amidst the limited learning
modalities and shortening of the school year. This is to guide teachers to be
specific in a particular topic, specific in
objectives to be taken.

2. UNPACKING
a. Alignment on the content and performance Standards
- The performance standards to be taken should be anchored to the
content of the subject. It should be
attainable and it should be a relevant to life performances to prepare
the learners in the future.
b. Prerequisite knowledge and Skills
- It should be specific to general skills. Lets’ start first with the basic
skills and eventually go to the higher thinking
skills. Know first your learners before making your objectives or
unpacking the MELCs.
c. Logical Sequence of learning objectives
- It should be properly organized and unpacking of MELC’s should be
take it into consideration if the objectives
are really relevant and achievable.

COMBINING
a. Commonality of content, topic, or theme
- MELCs to be combined should show commonality and relatedness in content, topic,
or theme. This ensures that essential content and topic will not be watered down.
b. Alignment with the Content and Performance Standards
- Just like in the unpacking of MELCs, combining two or more should aid in the
achievement of the content and performance standards.

4. Not all MELCs need to be combined if they are attainable in a certain period of time. We
can only consider unpacking if there’s a pre requisite skills needed.

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 in your Study Notebook.
