The development of a multigrade LAC resource guide supports the implementation of DepEd Order No. 35, s. 2016, enjoining all regions in the country to implement the Learning Action Cell (LAC) as a platform for teachers’ continuing professional development at the school level. While the Department of Education (DepEd) provided our schools with the materials for the conduct of LAC sessions, such materials were not designed for multigrade setting. The activities were geared towards teaching monograde classes and did not consider the existence and unique needs of multigrade classes.
The Multigrade LAC Resource Materials for Multigrade Teachers will provide many opportunities for multigrade teachers to become effective classroom teachers. The different session guides were designed to address several issues on the implementation of K to 12 Curriculum in multigrade schools, specifically, on instructional planning, instructional delivery such as on the use of ICT tools, and monitoring and evaluation of school performance.
This training kit for multigrade schools is designed by the Department of Education (DepEd) initiated by the Bureau of Learning Delivery (BLD) through the Teaching and Learning Division (TLD). It is specially prepared for use by multigrade teachers nationwide during the conduct of the school-based LAC session.
