implemented. We started to have virtual classes stopping teachers to observe them physically and
be able to see them f2f. It hinders educators to see whether the rules has been followed or the
activities has been done with full of honesty. Also, it hinders teachers execute their teaching
skills inside the classroom. Moreover, educators find it hard to employ the different skills they've
learned for the improvement of students.

OBSERVE
The problems/challenges I encountered in establishing my classroom routines.
📝Knowing the idea that we're in pandemic, I wasn't able to see them physically but
routines and procedures were still set to keep them aware or accountable. With that
ACT mentioned, I encountered difficulty in managing the class discussions due to Internet
interconnectivity since not all areas have access to Internet. The students time, availability
and health should always be considered making my life way harder. For thay reason,
establishing routines was not a failure but a hard challenge for me to cope with.
I hope to achieve to address these problems and challenges by talking it out with my
students and speak out our expectations with each others to obtain a successful teaching
and learning processes. With today's episode, I realized the significance of classroom
routines and how it affects students. I learned that it helped to run the teaching and
learning process smoothly which coukd contribute to the improvement of students
performance and the Teaching practice.
