Learning Outcomes
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.

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

- 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.

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

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.

Analysis
1. What must a teacher do to uphold and perform the roles as you have described in
the acrostic?
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.
On the other hand, here are the roles that learners must assume in a learner-centered
classroom (Retallick, n.d.):
Application
Directions: Explain the given Chinese Proverb originally enunciated by the philosopher
Confucius by writing a 250 to 300-word essay.
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.
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.
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.
Activity
Analysis
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.
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:
● Evidence-based practices
● systems to support classroom PBIS Implementation
● data to guide decision making about classroom PBIS implementation
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
● 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.
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?
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):
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.
