CHAPTER 2
LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Activity I
Answer the following questions briefly and concisely.

1. Having known the personal and professional qualities of a teacher, do you think you are ready to become a teacher? If
not, what are the qualities that you still have to work on?

 It has helped and amended me more to learn the teaching profession that a respected teacher should have. It has
contributed greatly to my recent situation where I am gradually recognizing my character when it comes to teaching. I can
say that somehow there has been a change and development in myself but still can’t avoid the fears I won’t be able to
uphold my profession in the future. In fact, I don’t have much confidence in myself, my voice is weak when speaking in
front of many I have stage fright, I am often more preoccupied with written outputs ever since especially now that students
are exposed to modular learning which motivates us to hide more from everyone. That's why now I'm trying my finest to
overcome all these weaknesses of mine knowing exclusively that we're close to the end where we will start training in the
field of teaching. I’m now preparing and challenging myself in the close possibility for us to face and tackle.

2. What other personal and professional qualities can you think of that are important for Teachers to possess?

 Perhaps the most remarkable character of an educator that capture the complexity is enthusiasm. Teachers must be
passionate about their particular subject. Teachers leave a lasting impression. Their capacity to get students to think and
feel productively about their education and themselves as students promotes an adaptable view of learning and
understanding that lasts beyond the classroom. This is what quality is all about. Ability to build productive, trusting
connections. The most typical response is that a great teacher cultivates student relationships. Patient, compassionate,
and considerate, Learners' knowledge, Teaching dedication, Knowledge about the subject.

3. What makes teaching a full-time job?

 A full-time teacher is one who works for one school for a full week each week of the school year. I suppose there are a lot
of factors that can go into rendering teaching a full-time job for a teacher. It makes use of one's own life; I anticipate that a
teacher is passionate about her job, finances it with her own resources, empathizes with their kids, and insists on being

CHAPTER 2, 3 and 4
second parents to their students whom they believe to be their own children. To devote practically everything into the job,
efforts, and duty for the sake of their students, it takes a whole and sincere heart though.

ACTIVITY II

Develop a web or a graphic organizer showing the roles and responsibilities of teachers
in different social institutions.

CHAPTER 4
LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
Activity I
Envision your present or future classroom of the 21st Century School. Visualize your
classroom setting. Think of appropriate management procedures that will create positive
learning conditions.

Classroom Management Techniques Procedures/Activities

 Management of Instruction
An educational procedure is a methodology that
aims, organized, and employed in this study to keep
things functioning. A lesson procedure is a detailed
description of how the lesson will be learned in the
classroom. The lesson procedure is essentially a set
of step-by-step instructions that takes you from the
moment learners join the lecture until the bell rings at
the end of the period. During the class discussion,
you might create an action plan and a chain of events
to make the most of the time. Activities that will
engage students focus and participation in the
discussion.

An example of instruction we have during our SH

days:
1. The teacher prepares her PPT presentation
in the beginning of the class
2. Students perform a prayer first
3. Then she’ll do an activity first for the
student to be ready and warmed up.
4. Such that, language drills and tongue
twisters then proceed to the classroom
proper.
5. Discussion then, activities to divide the
time accordingly.

Management as a discipline refers to a set of

 THE TEACHING PROFESSION
CHAPTER 2, 3 and 4
 Management of Discipline
 Management of Relationship
knowledge focused on the study of essential
administrative concepts and procedures. It
establishes a code of behavior for managers to
implement as well as several ways for effectively
resource management.
1. Establish Consistency.
2. A consistent approach to punishment will be
well received by students of all ages.
3. Make sure that the consequences and rewards
are clear.
4. Disruption should not be rewarded with
attention.
5. Keep it interesting.
6. Clean Up the Slate
7. Another thing for discipline is the (EOP)
English Only Policy card or rock to be passed
on to the students who were very talkative and
usually speaking the mother tongue language
after being listed for penalty the student
should repeat the discussion of the teacher in
front of the class.
A good instructional management will help teachers
avoid exhaustion by reducing the need for scolding,
shouting, and other stressful disciplining approaches
that generate teacher-student conflict. This type of
setting promotes both academic and social/emotional
growth.
1. Spend time with a student, one-on-one. 
2. Look for something to talk concerning.
3. Take an interest in their hobbies.
4. Please share your experiences.
5. Possess a good sense of humor. 
6. Attend Student Activities.

CHAPTER 2, 3 and 4
 Management of Physical
 Management of Time
The physical layout of a classroom has a significant
impact on student motivation and learning. Students'
participation in the process of constructing their
surroundings can empower them, foster community,
and boost motivation. Whatever seating arrangement
you choose, be certain that students are seated in
such a way that:
1. Everyone is visible.
2. You are visible to everyone.
The board is visible to all.
3. As much as possible, students can see each
other.
4. Keep students away from constantly
conversing next to each other.
5. Set up a system of taking turns if students are
fighting over the front or rear rows.
Because their attention is focused and they are not
wasting valuable time on interruptions (such as
social media platforms), proper planning and
effective time management allows students to
accomplish more in less time. Efficient time
management also reduces stress as students’ cross
items off their to-do list.
1. Define your goals for each lesson and strive to
stay on track with them. allowing the class to
go off topic
2. More crucial discussion or activities may be
sacrificed if you go too far or for too long.
3. 34% Get accustomed with compromise early
on. You'll rarely get everything done that you
want would wish to achieve.
4. “Moving out of the way." Recognize when it's
time to move aside and allow the pupils lead;
be flexible attentive to the dynamics of the
classroom
 THE TEACHING PROFESSION
CHAPTER 2, 3 and 4
 Management of Routines
5. Be adaptable. Be ready to adapt your lesson
plan on the fly to meet the needs of diverse
students’ groups calculating the duration.
Routines enable pupils to complete daily chores that
are expected of both the teacher and the students
swiftly. Routines also aid in the creation of smoother
transitions between activities, resulting in fewer
disruptions (Burden, 2003; Docking, 2003). Just like
teacher Kath who always have her class rules
reminded to us:
1. Observe courtesy at all times. When sending a
message in the group chat, be kind with your words.
Introduce yourselves properly and start with a simple
greeting. When sending a message privately, introduce
yourselves properly with your program, course/subject,
and schedule. Feel free to reach me out through my
cellphone number, 09670246274 during office hours
(Mondays-Fridays, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM). 2. As much as
possible, let us limit our conversation in the group chat so
announcement can be read and noticed easily. Let us
also limit our responses to emoji reactions. 3. All activities
shall be posted in the google classroom. Activities shall
be posted by coverage (Midterm and Final Coverage). 4.
There will only be two deadlines. One for the midterm
coverage and the other one is for the final coverage.
Schedules of deadline shall be posted during the
distribution of modules. 5. Submission of activity must be
done per activity. Follow instructions religiously. 6. Be
diligent. Avoid plagiarism. You are soon to be teachers
and it is a shame to have a plagiarized output.
Resourcefulness is not synonymous with plagiarism.
Despite the very challenging circumstance that this
pandemic has brought us, I hope that we will still be as
 THE TEACHING PROFESSION
CHAPTER 2, 3 and 4
hardworking as how we were during the pre-pandemic
days. Let us continue to do better and work harder. 7. Be
responsible. I hope that one of the lessons you have
gotten from this pandemic is the importance of being
responsible. Be aware of your responsibilities as
students. Your goals are your own responsibilities. 8.
Lastly, be accountable to your own self. Let us be open to
the fact that we (teachers) can no longer be as effective
as we used to be during the pre-pandemic days, we are
also struggling and adjusting to the situation. This is not a
disclaimer but a reminder that learning is a choice. As
your teacher, I committed and will always commit to do
what is obliged and necessary of me to do. However, no
matter how good or effective I can be, still the biggest
factor of success is you- your dedication, hardwork,
perseverance and above all faith. 9. Online classes will
be conducted once a month/semester depending on the
necessity. Schedules will be posted in the group chat and
in the google classroom. Online classes are not
compulsory but necessary. I am looking forward to have a
meaningful learning even despite the limitations brought
by CoViD 19. I hope for your cooperation and diligence.
Congratulations for reaching this far! May we never give
up on ourselves, for God, our family and future.

B. Give your thoughts on the question below.

1. Can teachers and students be close friends? How will it affect classroom management?
What could be the advantages and disadvantages of teachers and students becoming
close friends?

Sometimes we can’t really avoid having a close relationship between a teacher and student. For me I'm okay with the
idea like this but it is still necessary to have respect and limits regarding the student's dealings with the teacher and
likewise the teacher should not train too much or spoil the students because it can lose good manners and abuse teacher
hospitality. I also don't think it's vague and it's forbidden for the teacher and student to be too close, maybe it depends on
what kind of set up they have formed. When it comes also to classroom management it should be different during classes
hours and outside the classroom as what I have mentioned know your limits. It may bring both two opposing forces the
advantages and the disadvantage but regardless it’s always up to the teacher and the students the choice is always up to
them. Thank you po.
