Learning Continuity Plan: Baloi Central Elementary School
I. INTRODUCTION
SITUATIONAL
The COVID-19 pandemic is unquestionably a public health concern. All families
have been impacted by the severe short-term interruption, which has had a significant
impact on the school system not just in our nation but across the world. The issue
crystallizes the choice we confront in deciding whether to skip opening of classrooms
this school year in order to reduce contact and save lives, or to keep schools open
within the legal opening hours and face a significant problem.
Our main focus should be education. Despite the current situation, the
Department of Education is led by the statement of our Secretary, Leonor M. Briones,

that "Education Must Continue." In fact, the signing of DepEd Order No. 007, s. The
DepEd's commitment to ensure educational continuity during the crisis is reflected in the
2020 School Calendar and Activities for School Year 2020-2021, as well as the Basic
Education Learning Continuity Plan. However, the health and safety of our students and
the entire school community are paramount and must be protected at all times.
TECHNOLOGICAL
The school's location offers access, but not all students can afford to purchase a
monthly internet service. Aside from the fact that not all learners are located in West
Poblacion, the majority of the learners came from different areas in Baloi, therefore
some of the learners are located in an area where they do not have access to internet
connectivity or the signal is weak. Learning in the new normal became more difficult for
them since, in addition to no Wi-Fi, the location lacks digital resources, indicating that
online schooling will be a difficulty for them, particularly the learners.
Furthermore, the majority of people are not financially stable, which means that
they cannot afford to purchase various digital resources, such as PCs, laptops, and
even android mobile phones. But we, the teachers of Baloi Central Elementary School
gathered to find a solution. We performed a poll on learning modalities in which we
asked parents about their own choice for sending their children to school. Furthermore,
the Barangay Officials and our Municipal Mayor have pledged to assist us on a
voluntary basis in order to make all of this feasible.
ECONOMIC
COVID-19 is first and foremost, a public health crisis but it has had significant
economic effects. At this point most of the resident of West Poblacion come
unemployed most especially those who belong to the informal sectors. Although the
Social Amelioration Program (SAP) of the government has provided them with financial
assistance but this is not enough to support their basic needs. Thus, scarcity of

resources could be felt by the people in both the middle and lower classes which also
directly affect our learners and personnel. Corona Virus showing us that we really can
unite our actions to solve global problems and do it quite quickly in spite of many
obstacles and in the face of economic difficulties.
ENVIRONMENTAL
COVID-19 is primarily a public health concern, but it has had substantial
economic consequences. At this moment, the majority of West Poblacion residents are
unemployed, particularly those in the informal sector. Although the government's Social
Amelioration Program (SAP) has provided them with cash aid, it is insufficient to meet
their basic necessities.
As a result, people in both the middle and lower classes may feel a lack of
resources, which has a direct impact on our students and employees. Corona Virus
demonstrates that we can truly join our efforts to tackle global problems and do it swiftly,
despite numerous challenges and economic constraints.
POLITICAL
The Provincial Government headed by Gov. Imelda Q. Dimaporo has subjected
the entire province to an Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) through Executive
Order (EO) No.5 s. 2020, to prevent the COVID-19 from spreading all over the province.
E.O. No. 6 (Extension of ECQ) and 7 (Mandatory Wearing of Facemask) were also
issued.
The Balo-i LGU have also worked with other National Line Agencies like the
Philippine National Police to ensure full implementation of the provisions of the ECQ
and provided their constituents financial and food assistance while DepEd is in support
to this.

Relative to this LGU and barangay officials are closely supported our schools
through the School Principals and the Public District Supervisors in action planning and
implementation specifically on DOH recommendation for disinfection of schools.
A. METHODOLOGY
The crafting of this Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) is based on the primary
mandate of the Department of Education which is to provide responsive and relevant
basic education to all learners and to continue implementing this mandate despite the
eminent threat brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, our school design an
innovative strategy that would prepare our school in the opening of classes on October
5, 2020.
Prior to the formulation of this strategy, series of conferences and consultations
were conducted. The strategy consists of three phases, namely: School Readiness,
Operationalization/Implementation and Monitoring and Evaluation. Below are the
different activities that will be conducted in each phase.

B. PRINCIPLES
The principles behind the crafting of the Re-Packaged Learning Continuity Plan
(LCP) are adopted from the LCP of the Central Office which are outlined below:
1. protect the health, safety, and well-being of learners, teachers and personnel,
and prevent the further transmission of COVID-19;
2. ensure learning continuity through K-12 curriculum adjustments, alignment of
learning materials, deployment of multiple learning delivery modalities, provision
of corresponding training for teachers and school leaders, and proper orientation
of parents or guardians of learners;
3. facilitate the safe return of teaching and non-teaching personnel and learners to
workplaces and schools, taking into consideration the scenarios projected by the
DOH and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging
Infectious Diseases in the Philippines (IATF), complemented by other credible
sources, and balanced with DepEd’s own risk assessments;
4. be sensitive to equity considerations and concerns, and endeavor to address
them the best we can; and
5. link and bridge the SDO-LCP to DepEd’s pivot to quality and into the future of
education, under the framework of Sulong EduKalidad and Futures Thinking in
Education.
needed. Hence, this Division with the strong recommendation of the DepEd-Region X,
prefers to use the ELCs as basis in the delivery of instructions for this school year.
television sets owned by teachers and students. Schools were also evaluated in terms
of DCP package availability and internet capacity. Baloi Central Elementary School
adheres to the modalities established by the Department of Education-Division of Lanao
del Norte, employing the scheme of sectioning and/or grouping of learners based on
neighboring puroks, sitios to address financial scarcity in the provision of self-learning
modules.
The school chose to have two (2) groups of learners who would be led by the
instructors and supported by the newly formed Support system task force comprised of
external stakeholders, parents, and other volunteer stakeholders. For students in
kindergarten through grade three, the school intends to use distant learning through
modular education and a blended distance learning mix of modular learning modalities
and digital audio. However, the school is hoping that it will be able to employ blended
learning whenever it is needed, which is a combination of face-to-face education and
distant learning modular training until additional permission is granted by the DepEd.

D. STRATEGIES FOR K TO 3
Given the school's budgetary limits, the school faces a significant problem in
providing for the manufacture of SLMs. The School MOOE was realigned and updated,
and a maximum budget was allowed for the acquisition of bond papers, ink, and other
materials required for the printing and fabrication of the SLMs; nevertheless, the school
budget could not cover the printing costs for the modules.
To reduce the bulk cost of module printing, the school will use a two-shift system of
home-based lessons, arranging students into puroks depending on set. Nearby learners
were tracked down and categorized according to purok, sitios in the barangay, learners
in Set A shall utilized set of modules by LAs while the other learners grouped in Set B
will utilize the other set of modules. Every Wednesday of the week, courses will be
switched and shifted. The distribution of SLMs will take place every Sunday afternoon,
based on the arrangements made by the instructors with the purok leaders or the
parents.
ASSESSMENT
The learning outcomes in the form of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and values
will be assessed using the current classroom assessment criteria (DepEd Order 8 s.
2015). Unit examinations and quarterly evaluations are used to evaluate students. The
schools, via their instructors, must have a Learning Assessment Agreement (LAA) with
Department of Education
Region X – Northern Mindanao
DIVISION OF LANAO DEL NORTE
Balo-I West District
BALOI CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
West Poblacion, Balo-I ,Lanao del Norte
the learners' parents, including the instructions, modalities, grading system, and date of
assessment.
Learners must have portfolios/e-portfolios that include activity/journal notebooks
(for formative assessment), records of their written work (unit or long quizzes), quarterly
assessments, and records of their performances/products (authentic assessment) in
hardcopy, softcopy, or a combination of these. Rubrics that capture evidence of learning
will be used to assess the performances/products. Teachers will create rubrics to
assess the learners' products/performances. Parents' and other adults', including
community leaders', testimonies, in addition to teachers', may be used in the evaluation,
if agreed upon by the school and parents or facilitators. These testimonies will be
assessed using rubrics and shall be reflected in the LAA.
Where face-to-face learning and blended learning modalities are used, written
works and quarterly examinations will be administered either through online or printed
materials. For online assessment, the teachers and learners in groups will set dates for
the assessment periods. While for the face to face learning, the teachers will set the
date of the tests by batch (set of 10 learners) based on agreed location (school or
learning centers in purok or barangay) using the printed assessment tools.
In preparing our teachers and school Leaders for multi-model learning delivery,
these are some of the preparations in facing new normal education.
1. Capacitate all Baloi Central Elementary School teachers on mobile and
blended learning modality through Tech O’clock sessions, webinar and other on-
line courses.
1. Set guidelines to ensure the privacy and data protection of Department of
Education – BPPS teachers and learners.

2. Utilize the DepEd Commons, LRMDS, PPS V-Modules and other social media
platform for teaching and learning.
3. Conduct In-Service (INSET) on handling psycho-social sessions and
strengthening hygiene initiatives in school. SLAC is intended for nourishing the
professional developmental needs of teachers.
4. Attending Webinar on LDM 2 and other related seminars for teachers.
Cleaning and disinfecting school facilities are one major activity in school through
the help of our PTA and LGU. Foot bath are installed on every entrances of the school
and classrooms for feet sanitizing. At the gate, watchman is provided with one (1)
thermal scanner for temperature check and alcohol for hand sanitizing. There is a
handwashing facility with soap near the gate so our clients can do the handwashing if
possible. The 1.5-meter social distancing is closely observed in school. Classroom so
with the school ground are with marks to sustain protocols set by IATF. Safety of
everyone is a top priority, thus we ensure that those who gets in the school will not be a
potential carrier of virus. Learners are provided with individual face mask for protection.
The wearing of facial mask is strictly observed in school. No mask, No Entry policy in
school is another policy that everybody is obliged to follow and above all, a functional
school clinic is always ready to cater learners who will manifest COVID 19 related
minimum illnesses.
B. Communication Plan
C. Means of Monitoring
To further guide the school in refining and continuously fleshing out the DES-
LCP, a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework anchored on the division LCP is
being adopted, tailored to the needs of the learners during this emergency. This
framework shall animate the planned interventions and activities and will show the
desired outcomes as we navigate through the situation. These are the following means
of monitoring:
modes to the learners and even physical preparedness of the teaching and non-teaching
personnel, disinfection of physical facilities and the regular convergence of external
stakeholders in the entire province. The LCP is collaboratively done so that everyone is
ready to face the unpredictable challenges and will survive in the New Normal.
