Appendix A.

GENERAL GUIDELINES AND CONSIDERATIONS

1. Distance Learning may be implemented through the following delivery modalities:

a. Modular Distance Learning (MDL)
b.1. Digital Modular Distance Learning (DMDL)
b.2. Printed Modular Distance Learning (PMDL)
b. Online Distance Learning (ODL)
c. TV-Video/Radio-based Instruction (TV-Video/RBI)
c.1. TV-Video (SLM-based)
c.2 TV-Video (MELCs Mapped)
c.3. Radio-Based Instruction (RBI)
d. Blended Distance Learning (BDL)

2. As stipulated in DepEd Order No. 007, s. 2020 entitled “School Calendar and Activities for
School Year 2020-2021,” schools and Community Learning Centers (CLCs), under the
supervision of ROs and SDOs, are authorized to decide on the specific DLDM which may be
deemed appropriate in their context.

3. Schools shall be guided by the Omnibus Guidelines on the Implementation of Community

Quarantines, issued by the IATF for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases dated
May 15, 2020 as well as the directives of the Office of the President (OP), in deciding the
learning modality/modalities to be implemented. In addition, the learners’ context, access, and
readiness, as well as the context/situation of the area where the schools are located shall be
taken into consideration. The choice of modality/modalities of the parent and/or learner may
also be considered.

4. The DLDM adopted by the school or chosen by the learner or parent may be changed when
deemed necessary and possible based on, but not limited to, any of the following:
a. Health and physical distancing protocols and other guidelines set in their respective
areas;
b. Availability of public transport;
c. Changes in the health status of the learner;
d. The learner’s assessment results showing that the learner is not doing well in the
learning delivery modality chosen; and
e. Indications and reports of negligence and abuse validated through home visitations.

5. As much as possible, the primary learning resource that shall be used are the self-learning
modules (SLMs) developed by the regions for the implementation of the Alternative Delivery
Modes. It shall be the foundation for conversion to various content formats such as, but not
limited to, digital formats (flat PDF and e-SLM), educational video, radio and others. The
digital format of the SLMs shall be uploaded to the LR Portal and DepEd Commons.

6. Other learning resources like textbooks, learners’ materials, MELCs-aligned teacher-made

videos, audio-lessons, modules, activity sheets, interactive e-materials may supplement the
required learning resource for each learning delivery modality.

3
7. To make learning manageable for learners, they may be given a set time frame to undertake a
lesson or accomplish an activity. The setting of the time frame shall be guided by the suggested
time allotment a MELC can be mastered. Learners who are not meeting expectations shall be
provided with remediation while those who may accomplish the tasks as contained in the SLMs
shall be given enrichment activities.

8. To ensure that learners are on task and are guided on what they are expected to accomplish
within a specific week, teachers shall prepare a Weekly Home Learning Plan. Sufficient break
times shall be ensured. In cases of legal celebrations and holidays as well as
cancellations/suspensions of classes due to natural and man-made calamities, adjustments in
the time frame for accomplishing learning tasks based on the Weekly Home Learning Plan
shall be considered accordingly.

9. Schools, under the guidance and supervision of the Regional Office (RO) and Schools Division
Office (SDO), shall organize their own mechanism to ensure that all learners receive copies of
the SLMs in print or digital format as well as other learning materials like learners’ material,
textbooks, learning activity sheets and others. Local Government Units (LGUs) and
community stakeholders may be tapped by schools and field offices to assist in making sure
that SLMs are provided to every learner.

10. Additional learning materials developed by supervisors, specialists, and teachers may be used
to support the SLMs. They shall ensure that these learning materials are aligned with the
MELCs.

11. Schools shall ensure contextualization and integration of learning content. Contextualization
shall allow flexibility of learning content and the processes needed to be related to a particular
setting, situation or area of application to make competencies relevant, meaningful, and useful
to all learners.

12. It is recommended that a learning facilitator or a household partner like parent, guardian,
sibling, or other community members considered as a responsible adult should be available to
guide and support the learning process of the child at home as well as provide guidance in
accomplishing given home learning tasks.

13. The learning facilitators shall be capacitated on their roles through a capacity-building program
that shall be organized by the schools through the supervision of the ROs and SDOs. The
school-level capacity building program shall be part of the cascade model of training that shall
commence at the national level where school heads and supervisors are trained first about the
roles of the learning facilitators to be rolled out to the school level before the school year opens.
Expenses relative to the conduct of the orientation-training of learning facilitators shall be
charged against local funds or funds downloaded to ROs and SDOs in support to the
operationalization of LCP subject to the usual accounting and auditing rules and regulations.

For learners without available learning facilitators at home, subject teachers or a cluster
learning facilitator may conduct home visits following social distancing protocols or they may
communicate through text messages, phone/live chats, or through other available forms of
communication to provide assistance or remediation. Teachers/Learning facilitators may be

4
 provided with load allowance, and travelling expenses chargeable against local funds subject
to availability of funds and applicable rules and regulations.

14. The following teachers shall be exempted from home visitation during ECQ, MECQ and GCQ:
teachers who are sixty (60) years old and above; teachers with immunodeficiency,
comorbidities, or other health risks; teachers who are pregnant; and, teachers affected by their
respective local COVID severity classification in their area of residence. In which case, school
officials like school heads, public schools district supervisors, education program supervisors
and responsible community stakeholder may be assigned to attend to the organized clusters of
learners, particularly in cases where assistance of a learning facilitator is much needed by the
learners.

15. Strong school, home, and community partnerships shall be forged to ensure the effectiveness
of any DLDM chosen. In the context of the present crisis, dialogue with parents and the wider
community is a key step to ensure that the school, parents/guardians and the wider community
have reached a degree of shared accountability and responsibility for the learning delivery
modality/ies chosen. School administrators, teachers, parents/guardians, and community
partners shall provide adequate and appropriate guidance and support for the learners to ensure
that their new experience with these learning modalities shall be properly transitioned both at
home and in school. While mass gathering is not yet allowed by the IATF, schools shall initiate
online orientation program for parents, online trainings for learning facilitators, and webinars
on home-school partnership.

16. Schools shall strengthen the implementation of DepEd Order 40, s. 2012 (Policy Guidelines
on Protecting Children in School from Abuse, Violence, Exploitation, Discrimination,
Bullying and Other forms of Abuse) through their duties and responsibilities stipulated in
Sections 7 to 10. Schools shall likewise review the composition of the Child Protection
Committee (CPC) including their roles and functions in accordance with the provisions in the
same Order. The CPC shall work in coordination with the Barangay Council for the Protection
of Children (BCPC). In places where the BCPC does not exist or where it is dysfunctional,
alternative community structures need to be set in place with the assistance of recognized
people’s organizations or faith-based organizations who have experience in similar concerns.

Appendix B.

DESCRIPTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR EACH DLDM

Distance Learning may be implemented through any of the following: Modular

Distance Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning (ODL), TV-Video/RBI, or Blended
Distance Learning.

A. Modular Distance Learning

1. A learner may adopt either Digital Modular Distance Learning (DMDL) or Printed
Modular Distance Learning (PMDL). Learners with devices at home like laptop,
desktop, or tablet, may adopt DMDL. The SLMs in different digital formats such
as flat PDF, education videos, audio lessons, e-SLMs and others may be stored in
a CD/DVD/USB flash drive/pen drive while the printed SLM shall be used by
learners adopting PMDL.

2. Self-learning Modules (SLMs) which are K to 12 compliant are developed

following the ADM Learning Resources Standards. The SLMs are designed to
provide ample time for mastery and sufficient practice to ensure that the targeted
most essential learning competencies are achieved. Clearly defined goals are
attainable within the specific time frame by taking into consideration the learners’
learning capacity based on their grade level.

3. Learners shall be provided with the suggested time frame to work on their assigned
tasks. Flexibility in finishing each module is accorded to learners with respect to
their learning needs, characteristics, and level of understanding to ensure that they
have secured mastery of learning contents which is also an essential prerequisite
for success in the succeeding modules.

4. Monitoring of learner progress and setting up of a feedback mechanism shall be

ensured to help learners meet the most essential learning competencies while seeing
the connection of one lesson to the next to reinforce the coherence of the
curriculum.

5. Timely and appropriate monitoring and feedback for consultation and intervention
purposes shall be put in place through various touch points such as text messaging,
and audio/video calls, whichever is accessible to the learner. If possible and
allowed, face-to-face interaction may be utilized for this purpose.

6. Members of the family and other stakeholders within the community who are
trained as learning facilitators shall be engaged to provide learners with
instructional support as needed in the absence of a classroom teacher.

6
B. Online Distance Learning

1. A class adopting Online Distance Learning shall follow the regular planning
standards in the organization of classes set by the DepEd.

2. It shall be applicable in schools where both the teachers and learners have access
to digital devices, such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and desktop computers,
with available online resources and Internet connectivity.

3. The learning resources to be used are, but not limited to, the following: self-learning
modules (SLMs), textbooks (TXs), Primer Lessons, activity sheets, teacher-made
videos and other supplementary learning materials, and Open Educational
Resources (OERs). Self-learning modules and Primer Lessons shall be converted
into different digital content formats such as video/audio lessons,
interactive/inclusive electronic SLMs (e-SLMs) and shall be available through the
DepEd Learning Resources Portal, DepEd Commons, DepEd Learning
Management System (LMS) and/or different DepEd recognized LMS (DepEd Aide
Memoire, 2019), such as:
i. Edmodo. This learning management system constitutes tools and
resources to manage classrooms and engage students remotely,
offering a variety of languages.
ii. Google Classroom. This helps classes connect remotely, communicate,
and stay organized.
iii. Schoology. This comprises tools to support instruction, learning,
grading, collaboration, and assessment.
iv. The Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment
(Moodle) may also be an option. It is an educational platform that
provides custom learning environments for learners where teachers
create lessons and interact with learners and inform them of the class
calendar of activities, submit assignments, take quizzes, and interact
with their classmates.
v. ICTS uses Moodle as the platform for the DepEd Learning
Management System (LMS). Other available LMSs may be used as
long as there is a software that allows the school to administer,
document, track, and record the progress of the learners.

4. Where feasible, learners may also be provided with printed copies of SLMs in
consideration of the allowable screen time by key stage or as a support should there
be a power interruption.

5. Schools may adopt a combination of synchronous and asynchronous online

teaching in consideration of the Screen Time Guidelines by Age as recommended
by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and World Health Organization
(WHO) which is as follows:
i. Kindergarten – maximum of one hour daily
ii. Grade 1 to 5 – maximum of 1.5 hours daily
iii. Grade 6 to 8 – maximum of 2 hours daily

7
 For Grades 9 to 12, a maximum of 4 hours daily (2 hours in the morning and
another 2 hours in the afternoon is recommended.

6. In the preparation of the Weekly Home Learning Plan and Class Programs, schools
shall comply with the recommended screen time for learners.

7. Online activities shall be complemented with locomotion, motor-sensory, and audio

tools which will support subjects related to performing arts and clubs. Learners shall
be provided with activity sheets and be given performance-based tasks to accomplish.

8. Learning facilitators/household partners like parents, guardians or responsible

adults at home shall supervise and monitor the screen time of the learners. The
American Optometric Association recommends the 20/20/20 rule, where one needs
to look away from the screen every 20 minutes and focus on an object at least 20
feet away for at least 20 seconds. It is also recommended that children should walk
away from the screen for at least 10 minutes every hour. Schools must ensure that
learning facilitators are oriented on the recommended screen time as well as break
time from the screen.

9. Learners and parents shall be capacitated on the use of learning management system
(LMS), the DepEd Commons, and the LR portal. Before the start of classes, it shall be
ensured that schools, through their ICT coordinators and teachers with knowledge on
managing LMS and navigating the DepEd Commons and the LR portal through
supervision of school officials, shall provide orientation for learners and parents on
navigating these online platforms. Discussion of online security and protection, digital
footprint, promotion of digital honesty, and parental guidance and supervision, are
some of the topics that may also be included during the orientation.

10. Schools may organize professional development (PD) activities to enhance teachers
understanding of and skills in the use of LMS. These PD activities may include LAC,
coaching, formal training which can be done with the aid of online platforms.
Uploading documents, pre-recorded video lessons, audio lessons and self-learning
modules, typing discussion posts, moderating virtual collaboration, navigating
modules, and designing assessment in an online environment are some of the online
learning tasks that some teachers may need orientation and coaching.

11. Online materials may be designed for collaborative tasks that will engage learners to
work in real-time. Online tools may be used for virtual collaboration among peers.
These tools are capable of giving feedback, comment, rating, and even posting grades
or scores. Digital empathy is one of the important factors that should be observed in
an online learning environment to foster cooperation and teamwork, hence, it should
be part of the activity design prepared by the teacher.

12. Schools shall determine the appropriateness of learning management system or

educational platform in the delivery of instruction. Open-source LMS must be user-
friendly to be able to execute a variety of functions that work together to provide a
seamless experience for both teachers and learners. These functions include the
capability to disseminate lessons in the simplest way possible for learners, assess

8
 learner competency, organize records of learner achievement, present assignments or
enrichment activities, and provide tool for communication between the teachers and
learners and facilitate learner collaboration. These can be through, but not limited to,
the following:

Videos – in a Grade 1 class, ask students to show-and-tell (e.g. describe their pet) while
the parent video records him/her. Learners may also be asked to write and perform
plays, create, and cook recipes, conduct interview, among others, and submit these
through video. In a Kindergarten class, while the learner is doing the play-based
activities (e.g. matching, sorting, classifying, etc.), the parent/guardian video records
the activity and submits same to the teacher for proper documentation. This may also
serve as informal assessment that the teacher could use in the continuous/ongoing
assessment of the learner in the different developmental domains.

Workbooks and drawing – intentionally use workbooks and paper-based tasks instead
of laptops to reduce learner’s screen time. Learners may be asked to draw or write on
a paper, take a picture of their completed work, and upload the photo to submit and
share it with the class.

13. Teachers are expected to give assignments and learning tasks. The quantity of online
activities is not equivalent to quality. Tasks assigned to learners should include those
that require them to get up and move away from their devices.

14. Synchronous learning shall be conducted using live webinars, video conferencing, live
chat or instant messaging. Teachers are highly encouraged to use Google Meet to
record a specific activity especially for performance task-based output. Lessons shall
be recorded for students who missed the lesson to view later.

15. Synchronous learning in each subject may be done at least once to a maximum of three
times per week depending upon the age and grade level of the learners.

16. For asynchronous online platform, LMS or any educational platform shall be utilized
for self-paced learning. Learning materials may be posted online, and learners may
work through them in their own time, collaborating asynchronously with other learners
and with the teacher via online forum, email, and others.

17. Teachers shall present lessons in more than one format within the learners’ capacity;
this is to address the diverse learning profile of learners when it comes to
understanding and perceiving information. If teachers deliver lessons by text, they
need to have a video or voice recording with it, too; likewise, if they deliver lessons
via webinar and teleconference, they are advised to have a text version ready as well.
Including transcripts, slide decks, and other supplementary materials referenced in the
lecture, either in real time or uploaded, shall help maintain learning equity for students
with bandwidth challenges by giving them opportunity to review materials that they
are unable to stream on video.

9
C. Television/Radio-Based Instruction (TV/RBI)

1. TV/RBI shall be implemented in areas with access to Television Networks and/ or

radio stations with programs dedicated to deliver the DepEd TV/Radio-based
lessons.

2. TV and radio-based lessons utilized for these platforms are converted self-learning
modules where the sequence of presentation is similar with what other learners use
in online and modular distance learning. Teacher-made videos that are aligned with
the MELCS and TV-Video lessons that are MELCs-mapped may also be utilized.

3. TV/RBI should be implemented when supplemented with Learning Activity Sheets

that serve as assessment tools to determine whether learners learned the concept
presented in TV or radio-based lessons. Other supplementary learning resources
like textbooks, learning materials and others may be utilized. Making SLMs
available to the learners will also make TV/RBI more effective.

4. Materials for learning exercises, enrichment activities, and assessment may be

provided in printed form.

5. Schools shall provide the learners as well as their parents/guardians/learning

facilitators the broadcast schedule of lessons. Learners shall be directed to watch
an educational TV program or listen to a radio program facilitated by DepEd. The
duration of every lesson episode shall depend on the complexity and length of the
modules based on the targeted learning competencies and the allowable airtime
agreed upon by the DepEd and the TV/radio station.

6. Enhancement of understanding of key concepts and clarifications on possible areas

of confusion in the lesson that was viewed/listened to shall be done during home
visits by subject area teacher/learning facilitator whenever possible or through
phone calls, live chats, text messaging, among others.

7. Guidance from parents/learning facilitators during viewing/listening time shall be

required.

D. Blended Distance Learning

1. Blended distance learning is a combination of any of the sub-categories of distance

learning. The combination maybe, but not limited to, ODL and PMDL, ODL and
DMDP, ODL and TV-Video (SLM-based), ODL and TV-Video (MELCs-
Mapped), MDL and TV-Video (SLM-based), MDL and TV-Video (MELCs-
Mapped) and others. Schools which adopt any of these combinations must meet the
requirements of each type of distance learning.

2. Strategies for learners’ engagement in all types of distance learning shall be utilized
by teachers. It is advised that teachers check in often with students either by sending
them instant messages or a bullet pointed summary of what is expected of them, or
by conducting a quick survey every week to monitor learner’s difficulties and to see

10
how they have been progressing in the lesson. These should serve as significant
inputs for intervention strategies.

MAP OF THE LEARNING RESOURCES NEEDED FOR EACH SUB-CATEGORY OF
DISTANCE LEARNING DELIVERY MODALITIES (DLDM)
Presented below is the map of the learning resources needed for each sub-category of DLDM which
will serve as a guide in selecting the DLDM to be implemented in the schools. It is highly recommended
that the results of the Learner Enrollment and Survey Form be also considered in determining the DLDM
to be adopted in the school. It is possible that a school will be implementing various DLDM to ensure fit
between the learning resources available and the preferences of families/learners.

Notes:
1. While teachers are expected to manage all Distance Learning Delivery Modalities (DLDM), the
presence of a teacher who will facilitate Synchronous Online DL is vital.
2. MELCs-mapped DepEd Textbooks/LMs shall be used as learning resources for all DLDM. When
used with activity sheets and learning plans, MELCs-mapped DepEd Textbooks/LMs may substitute
printed SLMs.
3. Parent’s/Learning Facilitator’s guide will be used in all sub-categories of the DLDM.
4. Other textbooks/LMs and Teacher-made videos/modules may supplement the required learning
resources for each DLDM.
5. While all sub-categories of DLDM are appropriate for all Grade Levels when managed by a
teacher/learning facilitator, those in green colors are the priority grades to do the specific DL, in cases
where resources are limited.

Appendix D.

WEEKLY HOME LEARNING PLAN AND INDIVIDUAL MONITORING PLAN

1. DepEd Order 42, s. 2016 (Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation for the K to 12
Basic Education Program) provides the legal basis of lesson plan preparation for the basic
education. It indicates the necessity of lesson planning as a “critical part of the teaching
and learning process” (p.3) which serves as a guide for instruction and contains details of
what a teacher and learners will do in order to meet the required learning competencies.
Further, the same Order explains how the lesson plan should answer the following
questions: (a) What should be taught?; (b) How should it be taught?; and, (c) How should
learning be assessed?

2. Given the new context for learning and the unique procedures in every modality, the
Weekly Home Learning Plan shall be developed following these procedures:
a. Refer to the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in different subject areas.
b. Gather the self-learning modules and other learning materials needed for the self-paced
learning mode. i.e., Distance Learning and Blended Learning Modalities.
c. Using the SLMs as reference, accomplish the Weekly Learning Plan by taking into
consideration the learning competencies, key concepts/essential understandings, and
the learning tasks/formative assessments needed to track learner’s progress in relation
to the attainment of content standards.
d. Subject area teachers must collaborate to come up with a set of Weekly Home Learning
Plans for one entire quarter/grading period by integrating all subjects in one learning
plan.
e. When preparing the Weekly Home Learning Plan, teachers should be guided with a
long-term vision of what they want their learners to master and achieve in terms of
content and competencies at the end of the school year. Hence, they may start with an
end in mind using a backward design.
f. Teachers are advised to adopt strategies that respect the unique contexts and diversity
of learners in terms of their readiness, learning interest, and learning profile.
Differentiated instruction may be manifested by giving respectful activities –
interesting, engaging, challenging, through on-level tasks, above-level tasks, and
below-level tasks to various groups of learners. This allows routes of access at varying
levels so that every learner is appropriately challenged and comes away with pivotal
skills and understanding.
g. In plotting the learning tasks, teachers should strike a balance between academic rigor
and socio-emotional aspect of learning. Since the completion of learning tasks are done
primarily at home, learners should be given the opportunity and flexibility to manage
their own learning without sacrificing time-bound attainment of learning competencies.

3. The Weekly Home Learning Plan shall consist of the following parts:

a. Learning Area are the subjects prescribed to be taken by learners in a particular grade
level or key stage.
b. Learning Tasks are formative learning opportunities created for learners to enhance
their understanding of the content, which prompt them to engage intensively in the
subject matter.

14
 c. Learning Competencies refers to the knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes
that learners need to demonstrate in every lesson and/or learning activity (DO 8, s. 2015
Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program)
d. Mode of Delivery refers to the method of submission of learning outputs to include
written work, products, and performances, preferred by the learner/parent based on
their context/situation, e.g., online submission through email or LMS posting, personal
submission by the parent to the teacher in school, etc.

4. The Weekly Home Learning Plan shall be communicated through the parents for their
reference and guidance. Copies of the plans for the entire first quarter may be distributed
to parents during the first Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting before the start of the
school year. They shall be given comprehensive and clear orientation by the school about
the contents, purpose, and use of the learning plan by their children. Hence, it is highly
encouraged that teachers shall have prepared the Weekly Home Learning Plans for the first
quarter prior to the opening of classes. The Weekly Home Learning Plans for the
succeeding quarters may be distributed in time for the quarterly homeroom meeting. The
same process shall be followed in terms of orientation about its contents, purpose, and use.

5. The Weekly Home Learning Plan shall aid teachers and parents in keeping track of the
day-to-day in-school and off-school general learning processes as they implement the most
suitable and feasible alternative learning modality based on the context of their school. It
creates awareness among learners that they are responsible for what they learn.

6. The Weekly Home Learning Plan shall be prepared by teachers implementing Distance and
Blended Learning while the DLP or DLL which is prescribed in DepEd Order 42, s. 2016
otherwise known as the Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation for the K to 12
Basic Education Program shall be prepared by teachers implementing F2F learning.

7. The Individual Learning Monitoring Plan, on the other hand, is a more specific tool which
shall be used by teachers and learning facilitators for learners who lag behind as shown by
the results of their formative and summative assessments. By providing intervention
strategies for certain period, the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan serves as the
document that will show if the learner has shown either mastery of the learning
competencies, significant progress, or insignificant progress.

8. For learners who are given intervention activities, their Weekly Home Learning Plan shall
be adjusted to suit their comprehension level, i.e. they should be provided with tasks that
are respectful of their cognitive ability but with the right amount of challenge, until such
time that they are prepared to handle the norm learning tasks.

9. The Individual Learning Monitoring Plan shall be utilized to monitor learner progress
based on the given intervention strategies. Specifically, it shall be used to:
a. Serve as feedback data for learners who are provided with intervention activities;
b. Provide a mechanism of support to learners who are lagging behind as manifested
by the results of formative and summative assessments which may be gathered
through their portfolio or collected samples of learning outputs.
c. Make the parents/guardians aware of the academic progress of their children and
encourage them to strengthen their involvement in guiding and supervising the
learning of their children at home.
15
 d. Help decide on the effectiveness of the learning modality adopted for the learner
and the possible modifications/adjustments that should be provided to improve
learner’s performance.
e. Guide teachers in adjusting learning content and tasks based on the characteristics,
cognitive ability, readiness, interest, and profile of the learner.

10. The Individual Learning Monitoring Plan shall consist of the following parts:

a. Learner’s Needs refers to the gap between the required knowledge, skills, and attitudes
described in the learning standard and the current status of the learner as evidenced by
assessment results. These are the areas where the learners need help in a form of
interventions to help them meet the required learning competencies.
b. Intervention Strategies is a program or set of steps to help learners improve at areas
they struggle with. Intervention strategies may be any of the following form, but not
limited to, (1) extending time of completion of tasks; (2) adjusting the level of difficulty
of the learning contents/tasks; (3) providing more guided activities before proceeding
to independent activities; (4) seeking for more supervised time with learning facilitator;
(5) giving sample prototype learning outputs or models to serve as reference for his or
her own work.
c. Monitoring Date refers to the date when the teacher has evaluated the results of
learner’s assessments after a sufficient time of implementing certain intervention
strategies. Learner’s assessments may be through portfolios to include learning outputs
such as written work, products, and performances evaluated using rubrics. Testimonies
of parents/guardians and learning facilitators regarding the learner’s progress may also
be considered as a matter of holistic assessment.
d. Learner’s Status refers to how well the student learns as a result of the teaching-
learning process in the learning delivery modality that he has chosen. It is determined
after assessment of learning and completion of sufficient and appropriate intervention
strategies.
e. Insignificant Progress refers to a status where a learner “did not meet expectations” of
the learning standards and received a grade of 75 and below for the first quarter and
did not improve performance in the succeeding quarters.
f. Significant Progress refers to a status where a learner has significantly improved
performance after provision of intervention strategies by meeting learning standards as
manifested by an increase in his assessment results, e.g., from “did not make
expectations” in the previous quarter to “fairly satisfactory” with a grade scale of 75-
79 in the succeeding quarter.
g. Mastery refers to a status where a learner has reached a level of mastery after provision
of intervention strategies by meeting learning standards as manifested by an increase
in the assessment results, e.g., from “did not meet expectations” or “fairly satisfactory”
in the previous quarter to “satisfactory” with a grade scale of 80-84 or “very
satisfactory” with a grade scale of 85-89 in the succeeding quarter, respectively.

11. It should be noted that the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan is used only for learners
who are not showing progress in meeting the required learning competencies. Teachers
with these kinds of learners are advised to prepare the Individual Monitoring Plan and
communicate with their parents regularly through home visitation. Teachers may also call
the parents for a meeting to discuss the intervention strategies and what they can do to
strengthen their involvement in their child’s learning. In case a face-to-face meeting is not
16
 possible, teachers may communicate with parents through emails, phone call, social media
private messages, SMS, or any other modes of communication available.

Legend:

DL - Distance Learning - Distance Learning refers to a learning delivery modality where a learner is given materials or access to resources and he/she undertakes self-directed study at home or in another venue. (DO 21, s. 2019 pp.
96). Learners engage in independent learning at home or any physical learning space, where applicable, by using learning materials that are accessible either online, stored on CD/DVD/USB, or in printed form, while being
geographically distant from the teacher. The teacher supervises and monitors learner’s progress and provides remediation and enhancement when needed and possible. Assistance may be provided by a para-teacher/learning
facilitator who may be a parent or any member of the family, or a community stakeholder.

ODL - Online Distance Learning - Online Distance Learning refers to a learning delivery modality where the teacher facilitates learning and engages learners’ active participation using various technologies connected to the Internet
while they are geographically remote from each other. The internet is used to facilitate learner-teacher, learner-content, and peer-to-peer interaction. Online learning may be through a synchronous or asynchronous platform; it
requires both teacher and learners to have good and stable internet connection. This is practiced effectively by using a learning management system or related technologies. The use of DepEd Commons and LR Portal falls in this
category as both require internet connectivity to have access.

MDL - Modular Distance Learning - Modular Distance Learning refers to a learning delivery that is in the form of individualized instruction where learners use self -learning modules in print or digital format, whichever
is applicable in the context of the learner, with the guidance of any member of the family or other sta keholder in the community trained to serve as para-teachers or learning facilitators.

TV/RBI - Television/Radio-based Instruction - Educational TV and Radio refers to the use of television or radio programs on channels or stations dedicated to providing learning content to learners as a form of distance education.
This may not be considered as a sole learning delivery modality as it is usually combined with F2F learning or other forms of distance learning such as Modular Distance Learning or Online Distance Learning.

BDL – Blended Distance Learning – refers to any combination of the Distance Learning Delivery Modality Sub-Categories, for example: ODL + Printed/Modular DL, ODL + SLM-based TV/Video, etc.
