The outbreak of COVID- 19 challenged the education sector to continue the delivery of quality and accessible education. Most teachers in the Senior High School were concerned about the lack of motivation on the part of the learners to submit the modules given to them as well as the activity sheets during remediation resulting to poor academic performance. Hence, this study aimed to improve learners’ performance in modular learning by deepening teachers’ engagement through the OCEANS 13 Program. This program had 3 phases. The first phase was AGAK (Ang Gitinguha Atong Kab-uton) or (Reach our Dreams) which was a Parent-Teacher-Learner Consultation, the second phase was Intensified Home Visitation  (IHV) and the third phase was HBO (Hawak-kamay with the Brgy. Officials) or (hand-in-hand with community officials) which was a partnership of the school and community officials. These interventions were conducted to the 20 Grade 11 learners who were at risk of failing during the onset of COVID-19, School Year 2020-2021. The conduct of the 2 phases of this program has significantly improved the learners’ performance as it is evident in the learners’ status at the end of the semester with a 100% of the students who passed in all subject areas. The 3rd phase was not conducted anymore. Results from the Pre and Post-Intervention Surveys to the 73 learners with grades 75-79 about their teachers’ engagement revealed that the difference between the two means is significant even at the 0.01 level (p = 0.000345, p < .01).  Hence, this signifies that OCEANS 13, is very effective not just in the improvement of the learners’ performance but also it changed significantly the perception of the students on the treatment of their teachers toward them. Based from the results of this study, we recommend to continue this program.

This study dealt with the pedagogical practices of the Grade 6 & Grade 7 teachers of Digos City National High School and Rizal Central Elementary School from the Schools Division Office of Digos City, Davao del Sur in teaching reading on the blended learning modality. Participants of the study were purposively chosen. Open-ended interview questions related to pedagogical practices were formulated. A qualitative research design, using a phenomenological method on exploring the pedagogical practices of teachers teaching reading in English was utilized. Based on the result of the study, there are three basic components that describe the pedagogical practices of reading teachers which are pre-reading activities, during reading activities, and post-reading activities. Reading teachers used these activities as they worked to overcome the difficulties of teaching reading during the epidemic. Lack of support, lack of technology, and lack of motivation were the challenges that reading teachers encountered upon teaching reading to Grades 6 and 7. Finally, collaboration is the leading ingredient of the reading model that directs the actions of the three elements: the parents, teachers, and students. To make the model functional, these elements should collaboratively work. It is hereby recommended that in order to enhance teachers’ capacity to teach reading, continuous training may be conducted to supplement teachers’ knowledge and capacitate them in teaching reading, teacher-parent dialogue may be conducted to help parents fully understand their roles in the success of their children and the further enhancement of the reading model by conducting research relevant to the subject being studied.
