Objectives:

-Know how to use these
instructional materials
“outside” the conduct of the
lesson
Once we start teaching in
a classroom, how
effective our teaching is
will largely depend on how
well we are prepared to
handle multiple activities.
 OUR GOALS:
To create diverse
instructional strategies both
suitable to the curriculum
content and based on the
needs of our pupils. And, to
manage our classroom well
with the help of our
instructional materials.
Let’s have a
quick review of
what to
manage in our
classroom.

Managing the Physical Learning
Environment – The Classroom

It is very important to
structure our classroom
properly.
Why?
 Because, this will influence
the behavior of the children in
the class.
Managing the Physical Learning
Environment – The Classroom

In a classroom, several
simultaneous activities go on at

to arrange the classroom that
will result ………….

-Establishing Routine
Having clear rules and ways
of doing things is particularly
vital to the teacher. It can
make the difference between
drowning and surviving in the
“complex” situation.
 Managing the Use of Time
-Establishing Routine
Teacher should have and
keep daily routines in order to
be efficient. These should
include adequate preparation
time after school or in the
morning before the children
arrive.
 Managing the Use of Time
-Establishing Routine
The children will feel good
and get off to a good start,
knowing they are starting a
well-planned day of purposeful
activity under the guidance of
a properly organized teacher.
 Managing the Use of Time
-Establishing Routine

The children’s classroom

routines should cover the
following:
 Managing the Use of Time
-Establishing Children’s Classroom Routine
1. How they know what work
they should be doing at anyone
time.
The teacher needs to establish
routines with the children for
setting of work. These may be for
the whole class, for the group, or
for the individual.

2.How books and other learning
materials are distributed,
collected and stored.
Children can be given
responsibilities here as
monitors to make the
multiclass teacher’s life easier.

3. Children know what to do when
they need help but the teacher is
not available.
These are procedures that
allow children to help themselves or
each other when they’re stacked on
a piece of work or when needing
directions to begin a fresh activity.

5. Children know what to do
when they have finished their
set activity
- have stand-by activities
(This is where we can utilize
our instructional materials
previously presented to the
class during our lessons.)

6. Giving responsibility
Teachers sometimes do not
realize what a valuable human
resource they have in their own
classrooms – the children
themselves.

6. Giving responsibility
Multiclass teachers can help
themselves and at the same time
greatly help their children by
giving them real responsibility in
the classroom. They should share
with them the duties and tasks
involved in efficient classroom
management.
Responsibilities for Children

- group leaders - floors

- monitors - papers
- little teachers - erasers
- peer tutors - calendars
- librarians - boards
