Learning Task 3

Managing My Classroom Structure and Routines

Performance Task 1
Being oriented on protocols for classes in the learning modality employed by the
school.
Observe/Assist your Cooperating Teacher. List down some routines that he/she has done
for classes in the learning modality employed by your Cooperating School to make sure that
the class is managed well. Include some notes of points of improvement which you think will
have worked during the classes.

 Performance Task 2
Assisting the Cooperating Teacher in the preparation and implementation of class
guidelines for holding classes through distance learning modalities.
During asynchronous or module class sessions, what routines can you suggest to the
parents so that their children will have more effective learning outcomes? Design an effective
class routine outline which parents can use at home.
 Performance Task 3
Read the different situations below and suggest a positive and non-violent way to address
the student’s behavior.
Case No.1
Jacob is a new student in your school.
He does not seem to fit well with the other
kids who have already established friendships
with other kids. This results in Jacob being
aloof and withdrawn. He does not participate
in class discussions and seems uncomfortable
during group activities. You know he is smart
because his written works are almost always
done perfectly. How will you help Jacob?
Case No.2
Mia is a smart student but is very
talkative. She is always talking out of turn and
this result in disruptions during class. She
usually tells her seatmates stories which are
irrelevant from the topic being discussed.
How will you help Mia?
In the case of Jacob, as a teacher I can help
him by modifying my curriculum. Since
Jacob is aloof and withdrawn and does not
make friends with his classmates, I must
modify my curriculum through instructional
adjustment. Meaning I must use peer
activities such as think, pair, share. This
activity is a good choice since learner who are
new in school are in adjusting phase that is
why by pairing him with his other classmates
allow him to adjust little by little. If you put
him in a group already surely, he will be left
alone since in the scenario tells those other
kids established already a friendship. If think,
pair, share succeeded then the group activities
will commence.
In this case, the positive and non-violent way
to address Mia’s behavior is by setting
classroom rules and behavioral expectations.
To address behavior like Mia, setting rules
and behavioral expectations and employing
classroom rules is important as it prevent
Mia’s attitude and disruption of class
discussion. Another one is by identifying
appropriate setting for her behavior. since she
is very talkative and usually tells her
seatmates a story is I will let her join in
campus journalism and other activities that
involve talking and telling stories. On this
way she can hone her talents and know where
and when to use it.
Writing My Reflection
Complete the statements:
Having effective class routine and sound class structure is important because
children know what’s expected of them and how to do certain things on their own. Having these
predictable patterns in place allows teachers to spend more time in meaningful instruction.
Having also a class routine and sound class structure enable learners to develop positive
behaviors towards learning and towards themselves. Class routines and sound class structure
lessen the chance of the learners to prosper or grow negative behavior inside the class. Aside
from that it is important because it can positively affect learners’ academic performance since
they know what their teachers expect from them and acceptable behavior the time, they enter
their classroom. Classroom routines also allow learners to quickly accomplish day-to-day tasks
that are required of both the teacher and students. It also helps to create smoother transitions
between activities and therefore allow fewer opportunities for disruptions to occur. In addition,
when students are expected to complete routine tasks, they can learn greater responsibility and
more self-management skills. Routines that require interaction between teacher and student (or
among students) also serve to positively reinforce interpersonal communication and social skills
and are one way for teachers to judge the quantity and quality of students’ skills in these areas.
Classroom routines and sound class structure is also important because if there is a new learner
this helps them to avoid confusion inside the classroom since they know what his/her teacher’s
style of teaching and approach would be. Another one is help students become organized and
stay on task. It also helps students get their assignments turned in on time and promotes
independence and empowerment in children who need this for their academic success and to
develop social responsibility. And for us student-teacher having a class routines and sound class
structure help us to familiarize with the class or subject matter being taught. Finally, student-
performed routines free the teacher to focus on more effective instruction and on the unexpected
events that come up throughout the school day.

implemented in face-to-face or virtual mode. Label them.
