My 21st Century Classroom Facilitating Skills

Aspects Observations Strengths Areas for Improvement Action Points

Facilitation Style
Learners acquire the knowledge
and skills through
demonstration by the teacher
then collaboration with other
students.
Integrating technology in the
instruction to maximize learning.
Organizing learning teams to
develop cooperation and
collaboration.
Identifying developmental level
of individual student to make
instruction responsive to
individual learning needs
Collaborate with colleagues to
identify effective ways in which
learning takes place and in
planning instruction appropriate
to the levels of the students
through LAC sessions

Accommodation of students’
learning style
Provision of Learning Environment that is conducive for:
 Active Learning
 Higher Order Thinking
Using different modalities are
employed in the classroom to
accommodate students with
different learning styles.
Learners are work together in
groups to actively engage
them to the lesson and
activities.
The activities and questions in
the lesson plan are engaged in
low and level thinking skills.
However, the emphasis are on
lower-order thinking, or simply
recall or factual response level.
Using a multitude of
instructional methods and
activities in my classroom, such
as pictures, video clips, and
“field trip”, activities may offer
students alternative pathways to
learning
Differentiated activities for
students to make them more
interested and helps them learn
in a collaborative working
environment.
HOTS questions and activities
that get students to think
critically were given as reflected
in the lesson plan.
Constructing lessons and
activities that are constantly in
directional movement from one
particular learning style to
another within a given period of
time.
-Taking into account the
physical layout and
arrangement of the classroom
to create an atmosphere that
encourages participation and
learning.
-Making appropriate demands,
giving clear signals and being
consistent with the rules and
regulations
Providing more
opportunities for students to
elaborate their answers and
talk about what they are
learning and discuss
where those ideas come from
Establish a rapport with
students in order to acquire
information about their
individual strengths and
weaknesses
- Allow various seating
arrangements and clustering
the students around focus areas
for activities, and moving back
to a more traditional seating
arrangement when they have
completed the tasks
- Anticipate problems and
have a plan of keeping students
busy to prevent misbehavior
and untoward incidents
-Incorporate the Socratic
questioning process into my
daily interactions with students
-Attend seminar-workshops on
the art of questioning
 Contextual Learning Students are given opportunities
to manipulate real objects.
Questioning and Reacting Asking too many closed
Skills questions that require only
oneword answers.
Students must also be asked
how did they learn or how did
they arrive at their answers.
Further, less opportunities are
provided for students to ask
questions.
Introducing the topics in
multitude ways and allowing
students to have deeper
understanding through realia.
Students were given sufficient
waiting time to answer before
going on or asking others to
respond. Moreover, if the
student is unable to answer, the
question is rephrased or a more
factual question is asked to
bridge the gap and help lead the
student toward the answer.
Integrating other areas of
discipline in the lesson.
Try to ask more open-ended
question and encourage
students to listen and respond to
each other.
Questioning techniques must
foster the thinking ability of the
students
Collaborate with colleagues in
designing a learning
environment, which incorporates
many different forms of
experiences that will help
students in understanding the
concepts and how these can be
used outside the classroom.
Increase own repertoire of type
questions by attending trainings
on employing divergent,
highlevel and open-ended
questions
 MY CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN

Philosophical Statement

To live life productively and meaningfully, I want my student to have a deep sense of values
in the 21st century. They are all equipped with the essential knowledge, skills, attitudes and values
for them to face the challenges to the changes of time. I want them to be able to find ways to
remain strong despite the vulnerabilities of life.

As a facilitator of learning, I want to make my learners actively engaged in the

teachinglearning process, and feel the welcoming, comfortable and friendly atmosphere in the
class. The sense of belongingness and importance of my learners is uplifted and heightened. Their
learning environment must be conducive in order to encourage learners to soar high to progress. I
want them to discover their potentials and I will help them nurture them and make use of that to
improve themselves. My classroom must be an enabling factor for learners to grow and develop.

Rules and Procedure

I believe that the classroom should be friendly where everyone respects one another in the utmost
sense of sincerity. I want to have rules in the class that everyone should be guided of and follow.
This will be done on the first day to let students understand what is expected of them in order to
prevent indiscipline. This will be a contract that the students and I make, which after will be posted
on the wall to use as a reminder of how we all agreed to behave in our classroom. I will solicit
ideas from the learners on how to go through with them which involves their participation in our
school activities. The democratic style in establishing rules and procedures is very helpful of
instilling to the learners the responsibility and leadership.

Classroom Arrangement

The set-up of my classroom has a big effect on my student learning. In my classroom, students
are hit with vibrant colors on the walls, natural lighting from the windows and an inviting sensation.
They feel safe and welcome wandering to their seats in a circle tables and see their classmates as
they face each other. They will glance from wall to wall looking at numbers, alphabets, and student
work all depicted in colorful posters around the room. There is also a portfolio area where the
learners can exhibit their works.

There should also a space for materials and technologies that can be utilized for the
teachinglearning episodes in my classroom. Modern technology like projectors, computers, TV and
audio should be present. Also present in my classroom a collection of children’s favorite books
within our reading corner and other references gathered in a nook.

Misbehavior Intervention

One of the many challenges of classroom management is dealing with behavior. If learners
quarrel, I would listen to both sides so that I will be able to have informed decision on the behavior
measure that I must take. I would talk to my learners and listen to their claims in a manner that will
make them feel still respected and valued despite any mistake. I would make the child feel at
ease, so that it would be easier for me too to analyze how to treat the situation, and find ways to
help the learners correct their wrongdoing. I would also ask help from parents and school faculty to
work with me hand-in-hand in disciplining the children in nice manner, so that they won’t get
embarrassed.
Classroom Safety

In a classroom, safety must be consistently observed in physical arrangements of furniture,

equipment and in the conduct of class and school activities. Safety measures on the use of
electrical equipment and instructional materials should be made known to the learners. Cabinets
and hanging furniture should be well-placed. There is also a need of my students as well as the
teacher to participate to hazard drills in school so that everyone knows what to do during
unwanted circumstances. I want to have a classroom that is safe not only in terms of physical
attributes but also social and emotional such as safety from bullying and maltreatment.

Student Celebration

Students’ milestones are worthy of celebration. Learners who manifest significant improvement in
their performances and behavior need to be recognized and be given special mention through
praises, acknowledgements, and encouraging gestures. Honor pupils for a quarter or school year
and winners of contests should be recognized through awards in a school assembly and during
flag ceremony.

 REFLECTION: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN

Classroom management is an important component in any educational setting. This is

because meaningful learning takes place when students are in safe environment (Kauffman et al.,
2006).In making this classroom management plan, the main goal is to have the right environment
for all learners.

There are significant insights about classroom I learned from crafting the plan and
feedbacks from school principal:

In managing the classroom, you can increase student’s success and creates a
productive and cooperative learning environment.
Careful planning contributes learning success.
As a teacher, I must be consistent in reminding my students about the
rules and regulations we have agreed.
Although misbehavior may happen anytime but being a proactive teacher will help a
lot in maintaining a positive behavior with my students.
I can work hand-in-hand with parents, faculty, and also to the community in instilling a
positive and desired behavior.
Big or small successes are occasions of motivation that would enable students to do
even better.
Teachers and learners should be made aware of their safety in terms of physical attributes as
well as their social and emotional aspect.

In conclusion, I believe that this classroom management plan is a key to a conducive learning
environment where students feel safe and are actively involved in learning activities. This will allow
me to understand how will the learner will grow and develop his/her understanding in my classroom.
I’m looking forward to use my classroom management plan to my students this school year and will
continue to improve this plan as I integrate other methods and teaching strategies into my practice.
