I. Situation:

Classroom is a place where learning takes place. And in this place, learners need to
feel safe and protected. Learners need to know that no physical harm will come their way. In
a healthy classroom enables learners and teachers to be at their best, physically, mentally
and emotionally. Emotionally, learners need to feel accepted and know that they are
accepted for who they are.
Presence of unruly learners in the classroom cannot be denied. There are learners
who are fond of making unnecessary actions against their classmates. As
OurEverydayLife.com writes, “behavior problems in school with these elementary learners
are common as they learn to test their limits and assert independence. The site goes on to
explain that some of the behavior problems these students may exhibit are talking when
they shouldn’t be, being disruptive, and breaking rules, among others.
As a teacher, classroom control isn’t always easy. Imagine walking into the classroom
that’s out of control. Learners are running around the classroom, chatting with friends,
bullying their classmates, throwing crumpled papers, or even standing on chairs. The
dynamics of the room are unbearable and your blood pressure rises as you begin to lose
your patience.
Disruptive behavior in classrooms is a significant challenge for learning in schools
and risk teachers for the students’ academic achievement and significant source of teachers’
work-related stress. In the past two decades, the learners’ behaviors have changed a lot,
involving the teachers in educational centers in a significant behavioral challenge. Classroom
management is done by the teachers to create discipline and motivation and to attract the
learners’ cooperation in the learning process. If the teachers cannot manage their class by
various teaching techniques, the teaching process will result in failure.
 Classroom management is the process that teachers and schools use to create and
maintain appropriate students’ behavior in classroom settings. The benefits of effective
classroom management extend to academic related outcomes, including decreasing
disruptive behavior and increasing academic learning and engagement.
From this tenet, the Coticot Elementary School would like to address these pressing
problems on learners’ disruptive behaviors that leads to a poor academic outcome and
learning engagements.

II. Objectives
This project aims to decrease the disruptive behaviors and increase the learning
engagements of all learners through the student-led activities.

III. Descriptions

This initiative will utilize the E-Impact as the Alternative Delivery Mode. It will be
conducted two times per week to make way for the preparations of materials. During the
implementation of this project pupils will be given the opportunity to led all the activities
with the proper guidance of the teacher. Pupils who are considered to manifest disruptive
behaviors will be chosen to led the group.
Student-led learning is an education style that emphasizes self-directed education,
creativity, and discovery, rather than rote memorization or traditional lecture-style
education. Students are encouraged to incorporate their own interests into projects, within a
set of broad guidelines. In this process, children are being empowered to create, to choose
and to manipulate all kinds of activities that they will be engaged in. In the student- centered
classroom, the learner requires individualization, interaction, and integration.
Individualization ensures that learners are empowered to create their own activities and
select their own authentic materials. Learners interact through team learning and by
teaching each other.
Student-led learning is one of the instructional activities that can take place when
students work in small groups. During this learning activity, students will work in a small
group and a single student will lead the group through a part of the activity. Students will
often self-select to lead the group, although the teacher may choose students when
appropriate (when they know the content or can teach it in a different way). Students can
also alternate as leaders, with multiple students leading the group through components of a
single learning activity.
