We should learn these attitudes in the 21st century.

We can create a positive and friendly

learning environment through these so we can produce a productive member of society. We
should keep on updating ourselves technologically and mentally for us to cater the needs of
our curious learners.
The focus of a 21st century teacher is on learner by developing higher order thinking skills,
effective communication, collaboration, and other skills that they need in the 21st century. The
teachers must develop new teaching strategies that are radically different.

Teaching styles refer to a teacher's preferred way of solving problems, carrying out tasks, and
making decisions in the process of teaching”

It distinguishes critical thinking skills from low-order learning outcomes, such as those attained
by rote memorization. HOTS include synthesizing, analyzing, reasoning, comprehending,
application, and evaluation.

There are questions that requires a direct answer. The students need simple
memory recall to answer this question and there are questions require the
students to provide information beyond what was given in the story.
In the first two lessons you have learned about your emerging roles in the 21st
century as a subject matter expert, as well as a facilitator of learning. There is
yet another equally important role for you - that of a classroom manager who is
responsible for providing a conducive learning environment for 21st century
teaching and learning.
What does this role entail? What does it mean to manage the classroom? As you
will agree, classroom management is the primary task of a teacher, and a very
difficult one, too. Ask any student teacher or beginning teacher about this, and
you can be sure most of them will tell you the problems they face regarding
classroom management.
The traditional view of classroom management focused on creating and
implementing classroom rules and procedures to control students’ behavior. The
newer perspective, however, emphasizes students’ engagement in learning
through active participation and teamwork in learning tasks and activities.
Another crucial element is the importance of nurturing teacherstudent
relationships through effective communication.
In educational circles, it is commonly said that good classroom management is
always taken for granted until it is missing. When teachers manage classrooms
effectively, instruction runs smoothly and students are actively engaged in
learning. In contrast, if teachers manage their classrooms poorly, instruction
becomes chaotic and learning is compromised. In short, effective classroom
management maximizes children’s learning opportunities.
Similarly, The term “learning environment,” in our 21st century schools does not
need to be confined to a place and space, such as a school, a classroom, a
library, or a laboratory - it can be virtual, online, and remote. In our present day
terminology, “learning environments” mean contexts that promote interaction
and a sense of community that enable formal and informal learning. These
contexts do not only refer to physical spaces and technological systems, but also
to the way they support human relationships that feature significantly in enabling
the multiple and interrelated learning needs of the whole child.
This lesson will help you answer the following questions:
 What are the strategies that promote students’ participation and
collaboration in classroom activities?
 How will I evaluate my own strengths and areas of growth in
communicating at my students’ level?
 How will I create a classroom management plan toward promoting a
conducive learning environment?
As you read the scenarios described in this lesson, there is a likelihood you will
find them similar to the ones you encounter in your classroom. Do not be unduly
concerned as this similarity will help you better understand the principles
underlying the key concepts related to this topic.
1. How would you describe your coaching style?
I am a strict type of coach. House rules should be always observed. I am a friend during break time
but a coach to be respected during training.
2. How do you motivate you athletes?
Goal setting can be one of the most important skills to teach athletes in order to help them
optimize their performance. Goal setting can improve performance, influence motivation, and
help athletes reach their potential. Set the expectation from them. Mind setting is advise.

3. What is the one thing you always do after a good performance or bad performance of your athlete?
Rewards and recognition is significant especially on learners/athletes. It allows athletes to work
toward exerting more effort, learning from their mistakes, and improving their personal best
performances. Individual rewards foster a sense of personal control and persuades athletes to
bring attention to their skill development.

4. What is the most difficult part of being a youth sports coach?

I am not good in playing the sport I am coaching with. One of philosophy as coach is, “Do
not play with your athletes”. For the meantime, I am training myself on the skills need in the
sports I play with, but for now, I am developing myself in the coaching part of my field.

I always think on how I can have a positive impact on the athletes development by
mentoring them with values such as loyalty, integrity, commitment, trust, team player,
etc..

Part of this is to encourage the kids to have fun and discovering themselves
and their teammates by using their passion for Tennis.

5. How do you ensure all players feel included in the team?

Play with them during warm-up and cool down. Guide them in practicing drills to enhance their
skills. Give them goals to achieve within the day. Accompany them in the training process. Do not
leave them in the court. As I have said, house rule should be practiced and established.
