To ensure that I can carry out/perform my task efficiently and effectively in

participating and assisting my cooperating teacher in establishing routines and procedures,
in the classroom I must be guided by the following questions.

1. How will I gain students attention in the classroom?

First, we must establish the students and teacher relationship because it helps in
maintaining the attention of the students to the teacher. They should know that you are
the authority in the classroom, and they should focus on what you are about to teach
and tell them. We can gain their attention by giving them catchy presentations and fun
activities. As we have observed, during their remedial classes the teachers are giving
them riddles, tongue twisters, and educational games which they enjoy doing. Another
is to keep our voice clear and well- modulated so the students can also feel energized. It
is important, too that we involve them in the discussion by asking them to recite and

give their insights in the lesson being discussed. We can also gain their attention by
connecting our topics on the relevant issues and using memes or stories that they could
relate to.

2. What are the routines and procedures that I need to establish before, during and
after my classes?

✓ Entering and exiting classroom. Students must fall in line when entering the
classroom, likewise in exiting. This routine will be beneficial to ensure that students
follow the health protocols and avoid unwanted occurrences.
✓ Greetings and classroom management. Upon the teacher enter in the classroom,
students must stand up quietly and greet the teacher. Class will be started through a
prayer, followed by the checking of attendance. Ask also whether everyone is feeling
great. If we notice that the classroom has been disorganized, we shall have a minute or
two for the students to organize their seats and pick litters in their places. Sanitary
hygiene, at least spraying of alcohol, must be given importance, too for protection of
everybody.
✓ Classroom organization and cleanliness. The whole class will be divided into 5
groups. Each group will be given a respective assignment to maintain the cleanliness
and organization both inside and the surroundings of the classroom. Students will be
advised to clean the classroom before and after their classes.
✓ Going out for necessities signals and behavior. Before the class starts, the teacher
will let first the students to go for necessities so that everyone and everything are
settled to avoid disturbances and interruptions during discussion. But when
discussion is going on, students must first raise their hands and if being recognized,
politely ask permission to go out for necessities. On the other hand, when students
are having a seatwork, the students should quietly stand from their seat and approach
the teacher if they can go out for necessities.
✓ Checking of attendance and turning in of assignments. The class secretary will check
the attendance before the class starts and note students who are not able to attend
class. Moreover, there should be a systematic and orderly procedure in passing
homework or performance task. Students should pass their works forward and the
front row should collect and pass the papers to the teacher. An alternative to this is
assigning student leaders to collect the works at the desired time in order to make
things better and systematic.
✓ Recitation and sharing of ideas. If the students want to recite, they must raise their
hands and wait for the opportunity to be recognize. When their name is called, they
must stand properly and share answers and insights. Encourage them to avoid
hesitation to answer and practice speaking in front of the class.
✓ Practice of good communication and collaboration. Student's must create a good
bond and relationship with their classmates and teachers. They should practice a
friendly and helpful attitude toward each other especially in achieving their learning
competencies.
✓ Presentation of group outputs and activities. In this situation, students must present
their group outputs and activities in a clear and well-ordered manner. Each group
will choose a representative to discuss their outputs. All members of a group must be
given the chance to explain and present the group outputs. In that manner, everyone's
confidence will be built up and get used to speaking in front of a crowd.
✓ Breaktime rules. When the bell rungs, students must wait for the teacher to dismiss
them and quietly leave the classroom. They are allowed to eat snacks inside the
classroom, considering that it is not during classes. Students must put their waste in
the proper trash bin.

3. What verbal and non-verbal communication will I use to signal those students need
help/attention in the classroom?

A simple calling of their names or pointing on them will do. But some teachers
do the silent treatment as a sign that students need to behave.

4. How must students get/secure the needed work materials and books and often in the
classroom?

As for books and learning materials, students are advised to get them from the
shelves one by one to avoid chaos and unwanted noises. The modules for the next
meeting or week are distributed by the teacher to the students after the discussion of the
module at hand. This will help them have an advance reading during weekends and
have a background or better understanding of the lesson. They will bring this module
every time they go to school. The students will be answering the activities and
assessment found in the module.

5. How will students transition to group work and other cooperative activities in the
classroom?

For the students to be able to work together efficiently and effectively, grouping
them together with their seatmate or classmate near them (e.g., by row or by column) is
the most convenient way rather than grouping them through counting because this will
consume a lot of time since there is a chance that their groupmates are far from them.
Moreover, grouping the students by row or column can be more organized as it is easier
for them to form a circle during their group discussion.

6. What procedures must be followed by students who need to attend to personal

necessities in the classroom/?

Before the class starts, the teacher will let first the students to go for necessities
so that everyone and everything are settled to avoid disturbances and interruptions
during discussion. But when discussion is going on, students must first raise their
hands and if being recognized, politely ask permission to go out for necessities. On
the other hand, when students are having a seatwork, the students should quietly stand
from their seat and approach the teacher if they can go out for necessities.

7. What rules must be set for students who finish task early and for those who cannot
complete the work on time?

⚫ The rules will depend on whether the activity is a seatwork or a take home
activity. For seatwork, those students who are done with their work earlier than
the set time, they are advised to review and proofread their work to check any
possible mistakes. As for those who cannot pass on time, there should be a
deduction in their score.
⚫ For take home activities or group projects, those who will pass earlier than the
said deadline will be given additional points in their scores. On the other hand,
students who cannot submit on time should provide a valid reason for the failure
to meet the deadline. If it is something reasonable, we should try to give
 REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
CAGAYAN STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION
www.csu.edu.ph
considerations for them. But when reasons are invalid, we should not tolerate
them and give what is due to them. If we tolerate those kinds of acts, it will be
something that they will be used to do.

8. What procedures must be observed for tardiness/ early dismissals?

We should give consequences to counter these kinds of behavior. We should

give and practice consequences so that students may avoid doing such acts.

9. What procedures must be done when submitting homework/performance tasks in

the classroom?

There should be a systematic and orderly procedure in passing homework or

performance task. Students should pass their works forward and the front row should
collect and pass the papers to the teacher. An alternative to this is assigning student
leaders to collect the works at the desired time in order to make things better and
systematic.

10. What procedures must be employed in movements into and out of the classroom?

Students should enter and exit the classroom without running and pushing to avoid
hurting and bumping each other. They should avoid crowding when going out of the
door They should make a line (if possible) in order to ensure an orderly process in
entering and exiting the the classroom. Slamming the door should also be prohibited.

Having these guide questions in mind, complete the matrix for the routines that your
resource teacher has employed before, during and after classes in the classroom to
ensure order and discipline in your classes. List down the problems which your
resource teacher has encountered while implementing these routines.

• Irresponsible students

• Inconsistency

• Hardheaded students.

• impolite students

• uninterested students

Laziness and procrastination are prone to students which result to unfinished school
works and mediocre outputs. They tend to forget or worse, they just leave their
responsibility undone. Another thing is that students are inconsistent when it comes to their
habits and behavior. Instructions are not followed although it is repeatedly given and
discussed to them. Also, some students are just behaving at first but when they get
comfortable, they become disrespectful.

Group Output

1. What factors/ conditions prompted you to establish those classroom routines and
procedures?

I will be able to control how I get my students' attention by establishing routines

and procedures in the classroom. I will also be able to show them how to get my
attention so that I am aware of their signals for help or attention, make sure they have
the required work materials and books, and control how they transition into
cooperative group work. Because they lay the groundwork for education, predictable
routines are crucial for maintaining order in the classroom. The elements or
circumstances that go into forming morning work procedures, such as daily routines.
Children are prepared to return to academics after a break by being taught to walk
directly to their seats, look at the board for assignments, or wait in silence for
directions. Putting together plans for how to organize the end of the school day, keep
track of who has been let go, and get children to remain quiet during announcements
or directions. Creating "Tips and Tricks" for challenging operations, encouraging
student organization and accountability, enhancing the efficacy of work habit
instruction, and teaching kids to be self-sufficient.

2. Was there a marked improvement in the classroom management after employing in

your classroom routines?

Yes, there is a distinct improvement in classroom management after the

implementation of the processes. You could potentially save time later when
attempting to manage a class by addressing routines, whether they are established or
new, and by outlining your expectations. Determining the purpose of your procedures
and how you will explain them is therefore important. By doing so, you may minimize
speculation and rely on students to actively participate in their own education. A
classroom with established procedures and routines is more likely to foster positive
relationships, increase daily productivity, and maintain a safe and welcoming
environment even during challenging times than an unstructured and unpredictable
classroom when it comes to establishing classroom procedures to ensure the
effectiveness of each school day.

3. Did the teaching-learning process improve? Justify your answer.

Yes, routines in the classroom helps to improve the teaching-learning process and
have a good impact on students' conduct as well as their academic performance. As a
result, adopting a predictable routine in the classroom is one proactive tactic that
teachers can use. Students have the chance to develop greater responsibility and better
self-management abilities when they are required to execute routine chores. The
foundation of everyday classroom life is routine. Both learning and teaching are
facilitated by them. Routines not only simplify the lives of instructors, but they also
help to maximize classroom time. Most importantly, effective procedures make it
simpler for kids to learn and perform better.

What insights have you gained while doing this learning episode?

Classrooms with clear systems, routines, expectations, and workflows run more
smoothly, eliminating behaviors that can derail a class. Classrooms are full of routines.
They help students feel more at ease with the daily activities of the classroom and give
them a sense of knowing what to expect when they walk to the door each morning. And if
there is no routine, a chaotic classroom is expected. Classroom procedures are steps taken
by teachers to maintain order in the classroom. They ensure students know what is
expected of them and help to ensure that the teacher's instructions are understood clearly.
Effective classroom procedures create a safe and comfortable learning environment where
students feel secure. So, teachers must be clear with their expectations for students in their
classrooms and should model appropriate behavior.

As we entered classrooms with our resource teachers, we noticed how the routines and
procedures were being implemented. It was not easy because students were chaotic
sometimes and couldn't understand simple instructions. The students' behaviors are far
from what we expected. We may say students are aware of these routines and procedures
because we see it in how they behave in class, but some do not usually practice what they
learned from the teachers. Inconsistency is there. It is hard to handle them. That's why
patience is needed.

Establishing and maintaining clear classroom routines and procedures is critical. As a

student teacher, you must carry out all these tasks in addition to teaching them because
routines and procedures play a crucial part in keeping classrooms well organized. Not only
that, but they make students well-mannered too. This will benefit both teachers and
students. Additionally, helping our resource teacher is difficult but enjoyable because of
the new environment and new experiences. It's not easy to assimilate everything since we
are new to these scenarios. We learned that the work of educators is not simply to teach
students content and skills related to the subject areas. It’s their responsibility to cultivate
independent, self-directed learners capable of sharing the responsibility for learning with
them, as their teachers.

Take some snapshots of your routines in the class and tell something about them. You may
also write down the procedures you have formulated and explain the reason for these.

Before the class begins, students make sure that the

classroom is not just organized, but also clean and ready for
the class. At the start of the session, students are reminded
of the classroom rules. Teachers discourage students to have
their necessity as they enter the classroom and instruct them
instead to do it during their break. They are also reminded
on the protocols and precautions against Covid-19 for a safe
stay inside.

CLASSROOM RULES

During class discussion, students

are encouraged to recite and participate
especially that most students are
hesitant to express themselves. Let the
students raise their hands silently and
wait for them to be called before
speaking. Dont let the student recite
only in their seats, ask them to please
stand and recite.

During group activities, explain well the

instruction and ask them if they understood it.
Let the students perform the given task
individually or as a group silently. Always
supervise your students working to ensure that
they are doing the activity right in accordance
with the instruction. Encourage them also to
present their work in the class so that they can
practice reporting and they can also gain their
confidence.

At the end of the day, don’t let the students

leave their room unclean. Supervise the students in
cleaning the room, arrange the things to be
arranged and check if all the electric fans and light
are turned off.
