concerns are for the benefits of our students
more than ourselves. " Even in this new normal,

students to learn, early on, to embrace and take
advantage of tools technology offers. Second, a
teacher must be flexible and adaptable. These
are two most important qualities that every
teacher must possess. Flexibility is being able to
use a variety of teaching techniques and
strategies. This skill also comes in handy in the
classroom when, for a variety of reasons, the
teacher needs to adjust his/her plans for a
particular day. A flexible teacher is able to make
modifications to the plan under specific
circumstances. While adaptability, is the ability to
adapt change. In general, it is being able to
acclimate yourself to changing roles, job
responsibilities, material, and schedule. Indeed,
these are the qualities we were having right now
because of the pandemic. We learn how to be
flexible in our strategies and techniques to jive
the competencies given to us. Likewise, we are
able to adapt the new trends in teaching from
face-to-face to modular distance learning and
from textbooks to SLMs. Third, parents and
stakeholders should join hand in hand to make
this learning modality effective. I believe if we are
helping together nothing is impossible. Due to
lack of funding by the government, it is very
important to tap the parents, community and
stakeholders in whatever projects or proposals
we have in our school. They should be involved in
whatever endeavor the school has. Anyway, they
are part and parcel of the school. The success of
the school is the success of everybody. Next,
seminars and trainings that can help address
teachers’ problem in the new platform of
teaching. We cannot deny the fact that not all
teachers are tech savvy. Many teachers are not
acquainted with new applications of the
technology. When we do our module writing we
find it hard because we are not all trained to
write modules and there are some activities that
wherein we should use the technology.
Unfortunately, since we are not capable of doing
it and we want quality SLMs to be given to our
students we are hiring videographers and we are
paying him from our own pocket. Lastly, we
should embrace the new normal in education.
We should adjust to the new normal in our own
way. The situation we have is uncertain, and it is
okay to take steps we need to, in order to gain
the focus we need on learning something new
and what we can share to our students. Instead
of clamoring of this and that, I think we need to
embrace what we are given on our tables and
make use of them. Having a positive mindset can
really help us in our new journey as teachers. Let
us remember,” We humans are resilient. We can
learn to thrive in our new normal if we have the
mindset and the resources we need to adapt.”

-Strengthen other modalities
For the Department of Education, strengthen the
computerization program or the online
skills/social media skills of the teachers because
this is very beneficial in augmenting the needs for
learning of the learners but this is only beneficial
to those who have gadgets and internet
connection. Strengthen the other modalities so
that blended learning can be applied to all
schools.

line with the objectives in the MELC. Moreover,
since we are already in the advent of technology,
we will make use other
online platforms that are accessible to learners as
online support and learning modality system. The
use of FB page and messenger intended only for
the class where they can easily access the copy of
their modules, teacher can upload videos of the
lessons, and can post updates and
announcement, do virtual activities and
orientation. On these platforms, learners can
access them anytime and asynchronously. It is
not online delivery mode but serve only as an
online support to learners since the school
practiced purely the modular learning modality
as chosen by the majority of learners, however, it
is expected that most of the learners have FB and
messenger account. I readily recommend this,
since I found it effective in my class.
Teacher #12
There could be various ways where we can -use of appropriate learning

Since it's already more than a year after the onset
of the pandemic, teachers and students alike are -access to open educational

with the skills now on the use of the LMS, -utilization of google forms
searching of information via the internet,
submission of activities through uploading to the
Google Drive, returning the results through the
Google classroom, and meeting the students with
the use of the Google Meet. However, there are
some areas which need improvement. These are
on
a) the use of appropriate learning materials
b) more advanced skills on the part of the
teachers
c) access to OERs (Open Educational Resources)
d) preparation of quizzes and written
examinations through Google Forms which would
actually require training for teachers.
e) how to minimize students' cheating online.
Hence, it is highly recommended that teachers
should be trained in the mentioned areas.
 Teacher #15 Trainings for teachers on ICT
Recommendations:
 T-eachers must undergo more trainings Use of different platforms in

 E- ffective use of different platforms in

 H-elp one another to improve the teaching-
