Management of Time

Introduction
Time is of paramount importance
that great men compared it with
gold and many other precious
things. applied to classroom
management, the utilization of
time effectively means much more
than simply scheduling all the
tasks that brings positive change
to the learners.
Why do we need Time Management?
• To save time
• To reduce stress
• To function effectively
• To increase our work
output
• To have more control
over our job
responsibilities.
The Indispensability of time
management in the learning process
cannot be denied. It is vital that when
meaningful time is denied by the
teacher to his/her students, he/she is
shortchanging them of the needed
competencies relevant to their
development.
Insights on Time Management
•It is the responsibility of every teacher to
spend time wisely.
•The Mañana habit, which is postponing for
tomorrow what can be done for today
should not be practiced. When it becomes
a way of life, the teacher becomes the loser.
•Stress is unhealthy and at the same time
disturbing. if you do your work on time you
can avoid it and you have less time to
• Can you work with food, music or games? if
you thrive on silence while working on your
school assignment, remove all forms of
distractions from your workplace.
• Some classmates and colleagues of yours
may be your distractions because of their
chatting in the workplace. You can avoid
them by simply working silently or excusing
yourself politely in order to find a quiet
place to work in.
• Train yourself to get up on time to fulfill
your plan for the day's lesson.
Principles of Effective Time Management
1. Never be alone in managing your time. Consult your
supervisor who will guide you to work out the
timetable for all the competencies to be accomplished.
The attribute of time as a finite resource makes one
value it. A time schedule that must be adapted to
accomplish the tasks for weeks or months must be
adhered to without compromise. If it says that
performance is due on particular day, and there are no
intervening factors blocking it, then proceed with it.
2. Be open to the inflexibility of
time. Twenty-four hours of time is
given to all whether in the
administrative side or the faculty
and the students. It is distributed
equally no more, no less. Students
must be trained to work on the
allotted time given them. This is
teaching them the discipline of time.
3. Learn the art of not being
agitated by things that need your
immediate attention. Accept the
fact that no matter how time is
planned, unexpected events may
come that are beyond one's
control. So there is a felt need to
have many options so that if one
fails, there is another alternative
to push through with the activity
that is still within the time limit.
Ways on Managing Time Effectively
1. Establishing the type of tasks that cannot
be compromised
Some tasks cannot be put on hold or in
other works, they are non-negotiable.
Grades for graduating students cannot be
delayed. Learning institutions on trimestral
status should be non-compromising on
faculties who shortchange their students in
the attainment of learning competencies.
2. Discarding non-quality tasks and activities
Tasks and activities that do not produce
quality outputs should be discarded. These are
“time wasters” that interfere with the smooth
flow of the class.
3. Providing for well wasted time
Well wasted time must also be
welcomed since the proper use of time does
not entail well-spent time only. A teacher
who sits for a while to oversee his students
through his roaming eyes is rendering a
“meaningful sit” which to some observer is a
waste of time. This is his passive time to
recharge himself for other taxing activities.
The best and most highly productive teachers
know how and when to recharge themselves and
mellow down. To include “wasted time” in one's
time plan does not mean unproductive time.
When you allow your students to exhibit their
outputs and give them time to view the beauty of
their classmates' works in an unhurried manner, is
“wasted time” justified.
4. Learning to say “NO”
It takes courage to say “NO” to the
students and to oneself under limited time
allotted to a particular course. The teacher
must learn to say “no” to students'
demands that may interfere with planned
activities. This occurs when both the
teacher and the students are carried away
by the discussion that they forget also to
stick to the timetable of the lesson.
