LESSON 2: ORGANIZING YOUR LEARNING ACTION CELL (LAC)
ACTIVITY 1
Begin by refreshing your memory on the Learning Action Cell. Read DepEd Order No. 35 s. 2016 titled “The
Learning Action Cell as the K to 12 Basic Education Program School Based Continuing Professional Development
Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning.” Once you’re done, answer the following questions. Write
your responses and any other ideas and reflections in your Study Notebook.
1. Reflect on the objectives for conducting LAC sessions as listed in DO 35, s. 2016.
Rank the following objectives from easiest to the most difficult to achieve:
____ To improve the teaching-learning process to improve learning among students
____ To nurture successful teachers
____ To enable teachers to support each other to continuously improve their content and pedagogical
knowledge, practice, skills, and attitudes
____ To foster a professional collaborative spirit among School Heads, teachers, and the community as a whole
2. What are the top three challenges to having a successful LAC? List down and elaborate.
1. Proper Schedule of LAC - It will be best if the schedule for the session do not conflict with the other tasks
and schedules of the teachers. Often times, teachers are attending 2 or more trainings all at the same time
resulting to give less focus to the LAC session.
2. Relevance of the Topics - To make sure that teachers are gaining knowledge and skills that are useful to
the current situation or in the future, the topics in the LAC sessions should be relevant, timely, and benefial
to all parties concerned especially in these trying times.
3. Stable communication lines - As many of us are leveraging the power of modern technology in conducting
LAC sessions, it will be best if we can find a place with stable internet connection.
ACTIVITY 2
According to DO 35, s. 2016, a LAC should have no less than 2 but not more than 15 members each. Get in touch
with your designated Coach or LAC Leader in forming your LACs.
ACTIVITY 3
List down the members of your LAC and their respective roles in your Study Notebook.
