prior to proceeding with the rest of the module.

In this lesson, you will prepare for the course orientation of teachers to ensure that
they are ready for LDM2. Specifically, you will:
1. be familiar with the orientation module of the course
2. develop a plan to implement the course orientation
3. gain confidence in implementing the orientation

Key Topics/Concepts

LESSON 3: ORGANIZING THE TEACHERS’ LEARNING ACTION CELLS

In this lesson, you will organize the teachers who will be assigned to you for technical
assistance (TA) and coaching into Learning Action Cells (LACs).

Specifically, you will be able to:

1. group the teachers into LACs
2. identify roles and assignments
3. plan for the LAC sessions

Key Topics/Concepts
LAC; plan for LDM2 training

Resources Required
33 List of Assigned Schools
33 LAC Roles Organizer
33 LAC Session 1 Guide for the LAC Leader

ACTIVITY 1.

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 NEAP Coach and/or your Division Team
to plan how you will organize the LAC assigned to you. Each Instructional Coach/Supervisor
should be assigned a set of schools by the SDS (See Figure 3).

Follow the steps in forming the LAC for Teachers:

1. Coordinate with the SDS and identify the schools that are assigned to you for TA and
Instructional Coaching. Record this information in your List of Assigned Schools.
2. Meet with the School Heads and organize the teachers into LACs, including their
respective roles in the group. Use the LAC Roles Organizer to assist you in this task.
LAC Leaders can be assigned to more than one LAC. Note that this position should be
filled by preferably Master Teachers or other Senior Teachers who have proven skills
and experience to lead a LAC.
3. For the LAC Leader, review the LAC Session 1 Guide for the LAC Leader.
