Management of

Time
“Time lost is irretrievably lost.”
- Jose Rizal
 We have two hundred five (205)
days for the school year. If the average
teaching – learning hours is six (6) hours
per day then we have one thousand two
hundred thirty (1230) hours for the entire
school year.
 Here are some research – based effective techniques to
make wise all of time:

 Orchestrate smooth classroom transitions.

 Remain involved with the students during the entire class period
allowing for no idle time.
 Use fillers, in case you finish the lesson ahead of time. Examples
of fillers are reciting a favorite stanza then letting others explain the
meaning of conducting a short contest about the lesson.
Use planning or pacing material such as a copy of the scope and
sequence of the subject or a calendar for a long – term, weekly, and
daily planning.
 Use a common place to keep materials such as scissors,
school supplies. This saves time.
 Follow a consistent schedule and maintain the procedures
and routines established at the beginning of the year.
 Handle administrative tasks quickly and efficiently.
Prepare materials in advance.
Make clear and smooth transitions.
 Limit disruptions and interruptions through appropriate
behavioral management technique. (James H. Stronge, 2002).
 For quality output within an allotted period, here are
some suggestions:
1. Schedule all activities with corresponding time allotment way
ahead time. Early preparations could avoid haste and
confusion.
2. Provide enough time for everything you expect to happen.
3. Avoid rushing since you know you have carefully allotted
required time for every activity. Quality may suffer.
4. Anticipate difficulties or failure of some operations in order to
be able to pursue alternative actions.
5. Be flexible with time assignments. If students are
observed to be so interested and eager to continue
working, allow a little more time for them to complete
and achieve the objectives with satisfaction.
6. Set the example by following by showing that you
are time – conscious. They will develop the same
precision regarding time utilization.
