Before we go deep into our discussion, I just want to confirm something about Learning Action Cells. The activity is called How’s you LAC? I’ll be flashing some questions on screen and I’ll be calling some participants to answer.

#14 Do:
Thank the participants for their participation. Affirm their responses and reactions and connect it to the review of DO no. 35, s. 2016
#15 Show: (Slides # )
Present DepEd Order 35, s. 2016
#16 Say:
LAC is a group of teachers who engage in collaborative learning sessions to solve shared challenges encountered in the school facilitated by the school head or a designated LAC Leader. LACs will become the school-based communities of practice that are positive, caring, and safe spaces.
Do:
Put emphasis when saying the words in bold text. These words will be repeated throughout the session. Observe the participants reaction and acknowledge while passing through the text.
#17 Say:
Similarly, this is the concept of how LAC is used for the CE which is evident in the implementation of the National Learning Camp.
#18 Do:
Ask one of the participants to read the text. Thank the participant.
Say:
The CE through LAC shall focus on strategies, preparing teaching materials, and discussing other teaching-related concerns. Also take note, per the policy the CE is done two days every week. Ideally, every Monday for the planning and preparation and Friday for the review of practice.
#19 Say:
For this activity, I will be randomly calling one participant. Once called, kindly stand and shout your name, region, grade level and learning area.
We will be having scenarios; the lucky participants will be asked to read what is flashed on screen. The question is, is it LAC or not considering the provisions of DepEd Order No. 35, s. 2016.
So, let’s start!
#20 Do: Read the scenario or ask a participant to read the scenario then call a random participant from the registration list. Enrich the processing by allowing the group to pitch in ideas.
#21 Do: Reveal the answer for each situation. Validate the answer with the participants and process accordingly.
#22 Do: Call a random participant from the registration list. Enrich the processing by allowing the group to pitch in ideas.
#23 Do: Reveal the answer for each situation. Validate the answer with the participants and process accordingly.
#24 Do: Call a random participant from the registration list. Enrich the processing by allowing the group to pitch in ideas.
#25 Do: Reveal the answer for each situation. Validate the answer with the participants and process accordingly.
#26 Say:
After that quick review of policies and issuances. Now lets fully immerse ourselves with the highlight of the session which is collaborative expertise.
#29 Do:
Read the slide content.
Say:
CE is a deliberate activity that teachers must organize. To better facilitate such activity, here are characteristics of a “Visible Teacher” of John Hattie.
#30 Show:
The “Visible Learning” Teacher
Say:
To become the best teacher to our learners, becoming a “visible teacher” is as simple as being active, transparent, engaging and passionate in one’s own learning and teaching the students. John Hattie believes that the visible teachers possess the following eight important mind frames.
#31 Do:
Read the text.
Say:
As teachers, we need to continuously improve ourselves, the “how’s” of teaching. We are the greatest change agents! Remember that dear teachers. All professions will not exist if not for us. That’s how important we are and by that we should take pride in what we do.
#32 Do:
Read the text.
Say:
Just like how important feedback is to the learners, the same goes for us teachers. That’s why do not be afraid of it. When you have your CO, take pride in it and look forward to the feedback and comments because it will help you improve. And knowing CE, even without a formal CO you may organize such observations. The thing is you need to be willing and open to it. No hard feelings. Reflect on your pre-and post test, your performance task, why? Because it can help you evaluate your own performance. There are even times that at the end of activities, we can also ask our learners on how we can improve the activity. Be open to that. Do you assignment, do your individual work, do your project.. Let us deviate from such expressions and be more creative in engaging our students like what we are doing now through collaboration.
#33 Do:
Read the text.
Say:
Let me just clarify, 80% of class time is in classroom talk means meaningful conversations. Group dynamics. Analysis of text, video, sounds, etc.. Engage the learners to be critical thinkers and welcome dialogue with them. But just note, be ahead of them. You need to be well versed in your specialization and must also be able to form links and connections with other learning areas or relevant social content. I think this is the most important of it all. Be someone they can trust and have confidence in. You have to be approachable and willing to extend yourself to them.
#34 Say:
The question is? Are you a Visible Learning Teacher? Do you possess the 8 mind frames?
Do:
Ask for show of hands
Say:
If you are, that’s amazing! Let’s keep on the passion for teaching alive. If you’re not, don’t worry! That’s why we have each other. That’s the reason for revisiting LAC and reforming our practice through CE. Not only for us, well it is for us and primarily for our kids, the learners.
#35 Say:
For a better structure of CE, I will now share with you a timetable that you can use to organize your CE. Please take note that this has been applied during the NLC and can be adopted.
Notes to RP:
This schedule is only suggested as applied in the NLC. There might be future issuances that will secure a legal basis of conducting CE through LAC.
#36 Do: Show the slide
Say: Ideally this CE is done every first day of the week or Monday.
Do: Ask the participants, the critiquing of the lesson exemplar in the previous session is considered as?, is it planning and preparation or review of instruction?
Practice collaborative expertise through review and improvement of a lesson exemplar.
#37 Do:
Ask one participant to read the activity column, another for time allotted column, and another for notes on focus.
Say:
Following the personal preparation is the collaboration. This can be scheduled 2 hours before or after the 8 teaching hours. Take note on the area of focus.
#38 Do: Show the slide
Say: Ideal this CE is done every last day of the week or Friday.
#39 Do:
Read the text. Remind the teachers to be open to the observations and feedback of the group.
#40 Do:
Read ask participants to read individually each column. After reading, remind the participants to be open to the observations and feedback of the group.
#41 Show:
Let’s Collaborate
Do:
Capture the participants attention and ask them to focus and listen.
Say:
Now lets have a practice.
#42 Do:
Read the instruction and provide the templates
#43 Do:
Read the instruction and provide the templates
#44 Do:
Read the instruction and provide the templates
#45 Do:
Read the instruction and provide the templates
#46 Do:
Read the instruction and provide the templates
#47 Say:
Alright, time is up. I hope everyone is ready with their lesson plans. Remember this will be used in the next session for demonstration teaching.
Do:
Ask the participants to settle down.
Say:
To formally close this session, let’s have a quick reflection with the help of emojis.
#48 Do: Read the question and call one or two participants to share their insight.
Smile
Sad
Neutral
Rolled Eyes
Angry
Ask them why they chose that emoji. Respectfully cut the conversation if it is too long.
#49 Do: Read the question and call one or two participants to share their insight.

Ask them why they chose that emoji. Respectfully cut the conversation if it is too long.
#50 Conclusion
Say:
Do you have any thoughts or insight you would like to share to the group? Any clarifications or concerns you want to discuss?
Do:
Provide 5 points to end the session.
Say:
1. Collaborative Expertise is a concept introduced by prominent educational researcher John Hattie in his book "Visible Learning". 2. CE is conducted through LAC. 3. School Leaders must lead and support the conduct of CE. 4. The CE is a safe space that allows teachers to discuss freely the challenges and issues in the delivery of lessons and to work as a group in coming up with the desired solution. 5. CE is a cycle of planning and preparation and review of instruction.
#51 Show:
Present the session objectives and confirm with the participants if all objectives were achieved.
#52 Say:
Here are the references we used. If you come across a question or concern, feel free to reach out to me or to any members of our team and we will respond accordingly.
#53 Do:
Thank the participants and close the session by reading the quote presented on the slide.
