Name: Ulyech Maryhanne N. Astillo

Directions: To ensure that I can carry out/perform my tasks efficiently and effectively in participating and assisting my RT/mentor in establishing routines and procedures in the classroom or in remote learning. I must be guided by the following questions:

1. How will I gain student attention on classroom/remote learning?

2. What are the routines and procedures that I need to establish before, during and after my classes whether on f2f or remote learning?

3. What verbal/nonverbal communication will I use to signal that students need/help/attention in the classroom/remote learning?

4. How must students get/secure the needed work materials and books and others in the classroom/remote learning?

5. How will student transition to group work and other cooperative activities in the classroom/remote learning?

6. What procedures must be followed by students who need to attend to personal necessitates in the classroom/online classes?

7. What rules must be set for students who finish task/early and for those who cannot complete work on time?

8. What procedures must be observed for tardiness/early dismissals?

9. What procedures must be done when submitting homework/performance tasks in the classrooms/remote learning?

10. What procedures must be employed in movements into and out of the classroom/remote learning?

With these questions in mind, consult with your RT on the possible assistance or participation that you can do to help him/her in doing the classroom routines. Complete the matrix for the routines before during and after classes in the classroom/remote learning to ensure order and discipline in your classes.

1. What factors/conditions prompted you to establish those classroom routines and procedures?

I have first considered the flow of the classroom as students enter, settle, and leave the classroom wherein I have identified what procedures should be observed during those times to ensure that routines will be smooth flowing and there is no traffic in the classroom. Moreover, the routines are aligned with the Omnibus Policy of DepEd as it is based on what is developmentally appropriate for young children. The routines are changing and done in short periods to sustain the attention span of students while keeping their interest high. Moreover, the procedures that would be done per routine are also identified for an organized flow of events in the classroom.

2. Was there a marked improvement in classroom management after employing your classroom?

Yes, there are improvement in classroom management as new procedures are added in the routines. Students are prepared during transitions of routines and there are less distraction during lessons

3. Did the teaching-learning process improve? Justify your answer.

Yes, there is improvement especially with self-reflection as students gained more confidence to share their ideas in class and become more participative in the discussion. Hence, they develop self-esteem as they speak in class and also critical thinking as they reflect on what they have learned. This also hones them to become self-discipline as they respect the routines in the classroom where they try their best to display good behavior in order to avoid disrupting the discussion.

4. What elements in your classroom/remote learning management plan were mostly followed/compiled with?

All of them were followed as they are similar to what they usually do in class but the procedures just expanded and improved.

5.What elements in your plan were the most difficult to implement? Why?

It is most difficult to implement the rules in the classroom when they do not want to participate. Some of them also tends to forget that they have rules to follow so they must be reminded from time to time. It takes a lot of patience and understanding to be in this process, it will take a while for students to absorb and put into practice

What were your realization after creating and implementing your classroom /remote learning management plan?

After creating the management plan and implementing it, there are many things to consider and the most important thing to all of it is that we get to plan the appropriate and conducive environment for the children. It is crucial for teacher to have this kind of plan because we get to see the bigger picture and we now have an idea on what to inculcate inside the classroom.

1. Observe.

The problems/challenges I encountered in writing my classroom Management plan

The problem that I see is the establishment of schedule and classroom routines towards children’s learning.

2. Reflect.

I hope to achieve to address these problems and challenges by

In addressing the problem, I will observe the patterns that will arise everyday and adjust what I can to meet the needs of the learners.

3. Plan.

Some strategies/ solutions/means that I can employ to improve these situations/problems

Observation of the routines that need to be implemented inside the classroom which can help in the teaching-learning process of the students. Another solution is the implementation of different kinds of routines to check if it is fit for the schedule and well-being of the children in class.

4. Act.

Based on my answers above, the possible title of my action research on this episode is
