Module 5: Organization & Management of Learner-centered Classroom

Lesson 1 – Forms of Learner-centered Classroom Organization

Learning Outcomes

Determine the various forms and approaches of Learner-Centered Classroom


Organization.

Introduction

In the last module you have learned about the different types of learners and how to
educate them. Having the knowledge that our classroom does not have homogeneous
types of learners, you, soon to be teachers must always bear in mind that proper
structuring and organizing of our classroom is vital and important for our students to
achieve a specific learning outcome. Moreover, in structuring and organizing our
classroom you should always see to it that no child is left behind.

Analysis

1. Out of the words that you have associated with “learner-centered classroom”
which do you think best describe a learner-centered classroom? Why?
INDEPENDENT. A large part of a learner-centered classroom is helping
students become responsible for their own learning. In today's complex and
changing world, the earlier students learn to become independent, lifelong
learners, the more successful they will be. A learner-centered classroom
allows students to reflect on their learning and work, which helps them
become more thoughtful about their education.
2. When you hear the word “learner-centered classroom” what comes into your
mind? “ENGAGING” A learner-centered classroom is an engaging place for
students to be. Because it benefits the learner by enriching their knowledge
by allowing them to constantly exercise and develop their existing skills.
3. How do you classify a learner-centered classroom? It is inclusive or exclusive?
Why? Inclusive, because it is made up of a diverse group of students, it
strengthens everyone's ability to collaborate, understand and value different
points of view, think critically, and be successful learners. Furthermore, it
provides a variety of ways for students to engage; multiple ways to represent
course material, skills, and capabilities; multiple ways for students to express
what they've learned from these experiences; and assessment approaches that can
accurately assess what the students have learned.
Abstraction

In a learner-centered classroom, there is a shift in the focus of the structuring of the


classroom, from being focused on the teacher as well as on the subject, the learners
become the focus. In a learner-centered classroom, teachers become facilitators wherein
the help the learners to be responsible for their learning.

In this manner, teachers must change their leadership style on how they organize the
class. Instead of being directive, teachers must become consultative. In such manner,
students must be involved in planning, implementation, and on the assessment of their
learning.

In a learner-centered classroom, teachers must no longer consider their students as


blank slates but rather must see them as individuals who have various backgrounds,
cultures, and learning styles as factors that affect their learning. In which, if in any
circumstances that there are misconceptions and misunderstanding that they will have
about the subject or lesson it is always a product of what they bring with them based on
the aforementioned factors. As this misconceptions and misunderstanding arise, this is
where the role of the teachers being facilitators or consultants comes in.

In structuring and organizing a learner-centered classroom, teachers should ensure


that the following factors are meet (Lucas & Corpuz, 2014).

- The classroom allows the maximum interaction between teacher and student and
among students.

- The classroom allows student movement without unnecessary distraction.


- The classroom allows teacher to survey the whole class.
- The classroom is safe, clean and orderly.
- The classroom is well-ventilated, spacious, and adequately lighted and makes
possible re-arrangement of chairs as the need arises.

Furthermore, to ensure that the learner-centered classroom will be sustained,


properly managed and organized, the following are the best practices and forms of
learner-centered classroom that a teacher can adopt:

1. Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)

- RTI is a multi-tier approach that teachers can use to close the learning gap by
through series of processes, varied interventions and giving additional support to
students.
- MTSS on the other hand is defined as “MTSS, rooted in the data-informed
practices of RTI and PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support),
explicitly offers a multi-tier approach. Emphasis is on school wide, differentiated
universal core instruction at Tier 1; Tiers 2 and 3 provide intensive and
increasingly individualized interventions (Batsche et al., 2005).
- RTI and MTSS are tied together, MTSS serves as an extension to RTI, and
MTSS emphasized that intervention and support should be system wide.
Reference: http://rti.massac.org/behavior-rti

2. Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

- UDL is a design for teaching and learning where learners with their varied
learning styles and multiple intelligences are given equal opportunity to learn.
- Do not be puzzled with the term “universal”, as you might think that UDL offers
a one-way approach to teach all learners. Let us remember that there is no such
thing as one best approach in teaching and learning, what is best is what works.
This is what UDL believes.
-

Reference: https://education.ky.gov/educational/diff/Pages/UDL.aspx

3. Project Based Learning (PBL)

-  According to Edutopia, it is dynamic classroom approach in which students


actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper
knowledge.
- In PBL students work over an extended period to answer a certain problem or
question which are based on authentic, real-world situations.
- Teachers in PBL should be
guide for students, and act
as consultants for students and
should help students to study
in-depth certain problems
and questions in relation to their
subject.

Module 5 - Organization & Management of Learner-centered Classroom

Lesson 2 – Learner-centered Roles, Routines & Responsibilities


Learning Outcomes

Explain the roles, routines and responsibilities of the teachers and leaners in a learner-
centered classroom.

Introduction

The school is considered as the second home, teachers are considered as the second
parents and the learners are considered as the second children of the teachers. Teachers
teach the lessons and students learn the lessons and apply them to their daily. But, aside
from these clear roles of the teacher and the learners what other roles must they play in a
learner-centered classroom? Let us learn together in this new lesson.
Activity

their roles inside the classroom.

Analysis

1. What must a teacher do to uphold and perform the roles as you have described in
the acrostic?

When teachers act as facilitators or activators of learning, students learn more


effectively. Teachers are now designing active, engaging learning experiences that
build on students' strengths and interests, rather than giving formulaic sets of
worksheets, tasks, or practice problems. Through real-life problem solving and
perseverance, students are empowered to think more complexly while creating
and engaging with content during these learning experiences. As educators, they
are are passionate about our students, our work, and our objectives. The values
of the school community, the classroom, and the teaching profession are reflected
in our actions and efforts. Students can express their thinking without fear of
being judged if they are in a mutually respectful classroom that embraces a
diversity of thoughts and ideas.

2. What must a student do to uphold and perform the roles as you have described in
the acrostic?
To uphold and perform the roles as a student, studentS must be willing to learn
and develop in a learning environment. A student must also recognize their own
flaws as well as the educator's shortcomings in the learning process in order to
form a stronger bond in terms of providing new guidance and knowledge.
3. How are these roles important in an efficient and effective learner-centered
classroom?
Both the educator and the student have roles to play, and they are both equally
important. Both parties provide knowledge to each other in a learning process in
which neither party has a possession of knowledge.

Abstraction

Teachers and students in a learner-centered classroom tends to assume new roles and
responsibilities which are different from the roles and responsibilities that they are
accustomed to in a traditional classroom setting.

Here are the list of Roles and Responsibilities of Teachers in a Learner-centered


Classroom (Schneider, 2016):

1. Act as Facilitators and Guides

In a learner-centered model, teachers get to act more as facilitators and guides.


Teachers find this shift motivating, empowering and validating of their professionalism.

2. Provide Anytime, Anywhere & On-Demand Support

When learning is anytime, anywhere; so is teaching. In other words, expectations


aren’t high just for students in a learner-centered model; expectations are high for teachers
too. Many of the teachers we connected with described their job as “demanding” and
“challenging,” but were quick to pair that with words like “rewarding” and “worth it.”
They explained that while all teachers have a long history of working outside of school
hours, learner-centered teachers must go beyond planning and grading. Teachers also have
to make themselves available to students “anytime and anywhere.” Students and teachers
are encouraged to connect on an ongoing basis–not only when there is a problem.

3. Embody Core Values That Support Deeper Learning

It takes staff commitment to core values to ensure that a positive, learner-centered


school culture is built and maintained. For students to achieve deeper learning outcomes
like critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, communication, self-directed
learning, an “academic mindset,” and mastery of core content, adults in the system have to
develop and strengthen the same knowledge, skills and dispositions.

4. Truly Encourage Students Drive Their Own Learning

Learner-centered teachers “hand over” many traditional responsibilities. For example,


students at Harmony often set the agenda for their own meetings and teacher conferences
using their own goals, concerns and achievement data. Teachers at Harmony believe this is
a key part of helping students to reach their full potential. Giving students autonomy
develops “habits of success” and “mindsets” that researchers continue to confirm as
important components of lifelong learning and success.

5. Leverage Technology to Personalize Learning & Expand Access

Learner-centered teachers leverage technology to boost access and outcomes by


customizing student experiences based on powerful student data. Teachers in learner-
centered environments don’t just use “technology for the sake of technology,” and teachers
certainly aren’t replaced by programs and devices. In fact, teachers in these blended
learning environments are more important than ever. They use data from online programs
and assessments to get a clear sense of student learning and then differentiate instruction
accordingly. Teachers use student data to form intervention and enrichment groups, and for
flexible grouping for dynamic small-group instruction. One teacher explains, “Technology
allows me to utilize online learning tools for students. I can see the progress and needs of
each of my students via various dashboards and online reports.”
6. Commit to Professional and Personal Growth

Ultimately, learner-centered teachers must commit wholeheartedly to being learners


themselves. This means setting personal and professional goals and seeking out
opportunities to build new knowledge and skills.  All of this requires Harmony leadership
to make and keep professional learning a priority, so teachers have the support they need to
thrive. This takes many forms: lead teachers, online PD modules created in-house,
coaching and mentoring, training sessions, formal professional development days, informal
opportunities to collaborate, two weeks of summer training, workshops, etc. Even with all
these opportunities, many teachers acknowledge that they still need more.

On the other hand, here are the roles that learners must assume in a learner-centered
classroom (Retallick, n.d.):

1. Actively participate in their own learning


2. Make decisions about what and how they will learn 
3. Become capable of constructing new knowledge and skills by building on past
experiences

Application

Activity 1: Write me down.

Directions: Explain the given Chinese Proverb originally enunciated by the philosopher
Confucius by writing a 250 to 300-word essay.

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand”

When it comes to learning, this proverb makes a strong point. Hearing isn't as good as
seeing, and seeing isn't as good as experience, and true learning can only be seen when
experience leads to action. Learning isn't complete until it's put into action. We can only
learn something by doing it on our own. We may forget or remember something if we
only hear or see it.

We often forget what we hear from our parents, friends, and coworkers. We see a lot of
things in our daily lives, and we remember them easily. When we put what we've learned
into practice. We had a plan in place for what we would do if and when we were laid off,
and that plan included going it alone. We won't know what we'll do until we're in the
middle of it. It's difficult to predict what we'll do in a given situation when the stakes are
high and a large number of people rely on our judgment and motivation.

But the great lesson that passes through the hands and body is understood by the heart
that stays forever in our, soul mind and heart. And that will the starting of the change that
you wish to see in the world.

Activity 2: Face the mirror.

Directions: As a student, explain the importance of the three roles of student in a


learner-centered classroom. Write a three-paragraph essay.

Teachers are critical to the educational process. Dedicated educators do everything


they can to help their students achieve their goals. Teachers' roles are not
marginalized or diminished by student-centered learning. Instead, it aims to increase
student engagement by utilizing teachers' expertise in a variety of ways.

The importance of the student's role in the student-centered classroom stems from
the fact that the student is literally at the center of the learning process. Almost
everything that happens in the classroom involves the student as an active
participant. Students will be involved in making decisions about how a lesson will be
delivered and even what will be taught. Instead of acting out a concept, they may
decide to deliver a movie presentation. Given the other contextual factors that the
teacher must account for, the learner will have as much freedom as possible. The
student will be accountable for what they have learned and the outcomes of the
learning process. While working to achieve the established lear, the students will
help each other. While working to achieve the established learning goals, the
students will assist one another. Instead of being a sounding board for a windy
teacher, they will help each other see themselves as a result of the learning process.
This philosophy will encourage students to be more reflective and engage them on a
more regular basis.

As a result, by putting the responsibility of learning in the hands of the students,


these three roles of the students in the learner-centered classroom play an important
role in developing autonomous and independent students.

Module 5 - Organization & Management of Learner-centered Classroom

Lesson 3 – The Role of Discipline in Learner-centered Classroom


Learning Outcomes

● Describe Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in the classroom.


● Discuss the tiers in PBIS.
● Create a PBIS Matrix.
Introduction

Hooray! You are now on the last lesson of this module. I hope that you have learned a lot from
the previous lessons, and, I hope that you will learn more in this lesson. If your will recall that
in the previous lesson, we discuss about the roles of teachers and learners. Have you ever
wondered how will learners assume those roles naturally? We shall learn together in this
lesson.

of the teacher and learners in the picture. Be specific on your observation.

their roles in the classroom.
 The teacher is not efficient in
teaching.

Analysis

1. Why do students in the pictures behaves that way?


It is due to the teacher's teaching method. The first may indicate a lack of emotional
and social support from the teacher, resulting in unruly behavior in the children.
The other is concerned with the children's emotional and social well-being to the
point where they are able to learn effectively.

2. What is the main difference between the two pictures?


The main distinction is the students' attitude toward education. They exhibit
contradictory behaviors that reveal their perceptions of the education they receive.
The first depicts the disorder caused by a lack of support and understanding of
learning's hidden factors. The other illustrates what happens when these initially
unanticipated requirements are met.
3. Which students in the pictures do you think needs to be disciplined? Why?
Those in the first photo clearly need to be more disciplined. Their attitude toward
the educational process isn't what it should be; they need to feel the benefits and
comprehend the significance of education. This can also be accomplished by
educators, who must adopt theories and strategies that will help children appreciate
and comprehend the value of education.
4. If you are the teacher of those students needed to be disciplined what will you do?
I would apply the whole child approach. Children are immersed in learning
environments designed to foster a sense of community and encourage interpersonal
skills, problem solving, goal setting, creativity, autonomy, and self-accountability
through the whole-child approach to learning. Standardized tests, grading, and other
methods of assessing progress toward rigid academic success are commonly used in
education. Also students can develop a sense of belonging, self-awareness, and
awareness of their place in the world around them by applying this approach.
Abstraction

In our present education system corporal punishment is a big no. It is prohibited by the law.
Thus, the problem lies on how could learners assume properly their roles in a learner-centered
classroom if they do not behave properly and need discipline. However, we will not be wasting
our time punishing our students if we have already prevented any misbehavior in class. In a
learner-centered classroom, teachers must focus on preventing misbehavior rather than
focusing on punishing those who misbehave.

Let’s take a look on what is classroom-based Positive Behavior Interventions and


Supports. Here are the following salient features of PBIS and how to implement it as described
by the Center on Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (2019).

What Is Classroom PBIS?

In the same way PBIS operates school-wide as a multi-tiered framework, school


personnel implement a full continuum of classroom PBIS practices to meet students’ needs.
Beyond that, school and district leadership teams offer a tiered approach to training, coaching,
and feedback to educators to support their classroom PBIS implementation. By differentiating
support levels for all, some, and a few students and educators, leadership teams can effectively
support all students and staff.

Why Address PBIS Implementation in Classrooms?

Classroom PBIS is critical to students and school personnel success. When PBIS is
implemented in the classroom, individual student outcomes improve.  At the school-wide level,
schools experience overall improved outcomes and are more likely to sustain their PBIS
implementation.

Foundational Elements:

There are three foundational elements to classroom PBIS:

● Evidence-based practices
● systems to support classroom PBIS Implementation
● data to guide decision making about classroom PBIS implementation

Classroom PBIS Practices

Classroom PBIS practices are preventative and responsive. They are strategies you can
implement with all students needing support at any tier. When implemented with fidelity,
classroom PBIS practices lead to fewer disruptions, improved student behavioral and academic
outcomes, and more time spent teaching.

Positive classroom practices include:

● An effectively designed physical classroom


● Predictable classroom routines
● 3-5 posted positive classroom expectations
● Prompts and active supervision
● Varied opportunities to respond
● Acknowledgements for expected behavior
Classroom PBIS Systems

For classroom PBIS to work effectively, school personnel need school and district
leadership to put systems in place to support their effort. Specifically, leadership teams select
and implement systems based on documented needs within their district and schools.

Systems supporting classroom PBIS include:

● Classroom PBIS implementation is a school and district priority


● Available district/school resources to support classroom PBIS implementation
● Alignment and integration with other school/district initiatives.
● Clear expectations and explicit training about classroom PBIS practices.
● On-going coaching and performance feedback

Classroom PBIS Data

Classroom PBIS requires on-going attention to improve upon the systems and practices
you have in place. Data are an active, dynamic part of informing these decisions. Data are
objective, observable, and measurable pieces of information about students, school personnel,
and schools. All data should be valid, accurate, reliable, and efficient.

Data guide instruction and classroom PBIS implementation by:

● Assessing how well core features of a practice or system are implemented


● Evaluating progress toward desired goals
● Guiding a problem-solving process
● Informing an action plan for improvement
● Considering local norms and values when selecting and measuring strategies
● Ensuring strategies support all individuals

Tiers of Classroom PBIS

Just as with school-wide PBIS, school personnel implement a multi-tiered system of PBIS
practices in their classrooms. In addition, school and district leadership teams implement a full
continuum of training, coaching, and professional feedback systems to support school personnel
in their classroom efforts. By differentiating supports for all, some, and a few students and
educators, leadership teams can effectively support all students and staff.

Tier 1

Tier 1 elements of classroom PBIS apply to every student in the room, regardless of the
additional supports they receive. At this tier, school personnel should expect to meet the needs
of most (>80%) of their students.

These proactive, preventative, positive elements include:

● Designing effective classroom environments


● Developing and teaching predictable classroom routines
● Explicitly posting and teaching positively-stated classroom expectations
● Delivering engaging instruction
● Providing prompts and active supervision
● Acknowledging students with specific praise
● Responding to problem behavior with redirections and corrections

Similarly, at Tier 1 there are systems to support school personnel. At this tier, school and
district leadership teams should expect to meet the needs of most (>80%) school personnel.
Systems at this tier include, resources, effective professional development, coaching, and
feedback.

Tier 2

The goal at Tier 2 is to align a school’s Tier 2 supports with existing classroom
practices. For example, school personnel may teach all students a social skill (Tier 1) that
individual students learned during a social skills group (Tier 2). During that instruction, school
personnel highlight how that skill fits with their classroom expectations. Following instruction,
school personnel may increase prompts and specific feedback for that social skill.

Leadership teams may find some educators require more targeted professional support to
successfully implement classroom PBIS practices. For example, while all teachers may have a
professional development plan, administrators may require mentoring for newly hired teachers
as a Tier 2 strategy.
Tier 3

At Tier 3, school personnel support individual students who require intensive,


individualized, support. Student-specific teams design behavior support plans (BSP) which
include goals for school personnel to implement these strategies.

At this tier, leadership teams and administrators also support school personnel who
require intensive, individualized professional development to be successful (e.g., 1:1
consultation). School personnel needing this type of support consult with a behavior coach,
mentor, or administrator to develop his/her own individualized professional development plan.
The school leadership team’s goal is to ensure that individualized supports are coordinated
within the broader continuum of professional development supports.

Get Started with Classroom PBIS

Whether you are brand new to implementing classroom PBIS practices at your school, or
you want to improve your existing framework, there are a few concepts to work around first.

Link to school-wide expectations and systems

Classroom PBIS works best when it is implemented within a school-wide PBIS


framework. Expectations in the classroom should mirror the expectations at the building level.
Aligning classroom expectations with school-wide expectations ensures students not only
understand how the classroom works, but also gain a better understanding of what they need to
do school-wide.

● Does your Tier 1 implementation include strategies for identifying and teaching
expectations, acknowledging appropriate behavior, and responding to misbehavior in the
classroom?
● What supports are in place for staff to implement Tier 1 strategies in their context?
Examples might include: leadership teaming, supporting policy, coaching, on-going
monitoring of implementation.

Integrate with effective instructional design, curriculum, and delivery

It can be more efficient and effective for school personnel to  incorporate both academics
and the core features of classroom. They are likely to use similar components of delivering
quality instruction when they implement positive classroom systems and practices. Why not
find ways to do both at the same time?

Monitor using classroom-based data to guide decision making

To use data to drive decisions, it’s important to have a process. We recommend asking the
following set of questions in the decision-making cycle (consider questions related to equity
along the way):

1. Are core practices and systems implemented with fidelity?


2. Are all individuals achieving desired outcomes?
a.  If Yes: What is needed to sustain and improve implementation efficiency?
b. If No: continue to question 3.
3. What is the nature of the problem?
4. What action plan will enhance implementation?
5. Repeat steps 1-5 regularly.

In most schools, a PBIS matrix is used to clearly communicate the positive behavior that
students must meet and possess. It is a like a shorthand references for teachers, school
administrators as well as parents for them to consistently reinforce those key positive behaviors
of the learners constantly and consistently. Here is an example of a PBIS matrix.
