Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to:
 Establish my classroom routines and procedures before during and after classes in a
face-to-face or in remote learning.
 Explain the classroom routines (what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and why
those need to be done).
 Reflect on the basic questions when building my classroom routines and procedures
in the classroom and in remote learning.
 List down some possible topics for action research on classroom routines and
procedures.
 Use professional reflections and learning to improve practice.

Clarify Your Task

Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures
(Face-to-Face or Remote Learning)
Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and learning.
Routines don’t just make the life of the teacher easier. They save valuable classroom time. Efficient
routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.
Establishing routines early in the school year enables you to run your daily activities run
smoothly; ensures that you manage time effectively; helps you maintain time in giving directions/
instructions; and enables you to explain to the learners what are expected of them.
 Classroom routines set the foundation for a meaningful school year with teachers and students
whether in the classroom or remotely. To teach classroom routines remotely, it is best to record videos
and to post these in the learning management system so students may watch them over and over again
for better retention and for families to view them so they can assist their children when needed.
Students can take an active role in establishing classroom routines, They can brainstorm on
ideas which they will most likely do and follow. Routines are important especially when done in
remote learning so that there will be less distractions both for synchronous and asynchronous
participation.

Participate and Assist

To ensure that I can carry out/perform my tasks efficiently and effectively in participating and assisting
my cooperating teacher 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 in the classroom /remote learning?
2. What are the routines and procedures that I need to establish before, during and after my classes
whether on a face-to-face or remote learning?
3. What verbal and non-verbal 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 students 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 necessities in the
classroom/online classes?
7. What rules must be set for students who finish task clearly/ and for those when 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 classroom /
remote learning?
10. What procedures must be employed in movements into and out of the classroom/remote learning?

Having these guide questions in mind, consult your Resource Teacher on the possible assistance or
participation that you can do to help her/him in doing the classroom routines. Complete the matrix for
the routines that you can employ before, during and after classes in the classroom/remote learning to
ensure order and discipline in your classes. List down the problems which you have encountered while
implementing these routines.

Answer: Our cooperating teacher gives us the chance to talk with her about any potential help or
participation we might provide to help her with the online class routines. She wants that we create both
the lesson plan and the PowerPoint presentation. We were able to help her lessen her load as a result.
Some pupils don't have enough MB in their data and leave the class in the middle of a meeting because
of issues encountered when implementing the routine. Despite the scheduled time, there are still a lot of
students that are late for class. The pupil cannot comprehend basic directions like turning off the
microphone when someone is speaking. Parents are guiding the pupils who are being asked to read the
phrases because the students are having trouble reading aloud owing to the internet signal.

Notice
After doing your classroom routines and formulating your procedures; state what you noticed
by answering the following questions:
 How did you feel after employing your classroom routines and establishing your procedures in
the classroom/remote learning?
 Answer: I was relieved to see that the class flow is reasonably orderly and seamless, despite the
fact that certain pupils are overly boisterous. The involvement and engrossment of the students
prevents them from turning off their mics.
 How did your students respond to your classroom routines and procedures?
Answer: Because they were engaged in the routines and processes, the students in an online
class exhibited good conduct.
 What was the feedback of your Resource Teacher on your classroom routines and procedures?
Answer: My resource teacher gave me advice on how to enhance and continue more of the
routines in the classroom. In addition, she was happy that I had completed the work.
Was there a change in the classroom environment/teaching-learning process after you have
implemented your classroom routines and procedures?
 There has been a change in the classroom environment as a result of the implementation of
classroom routines; the class flow is somewhat smoother, and I have noticed that there is
now connection with the learners.
Answer: The installation of classroom procedures has caused a change in the learning
environment; the class flow is now slightly smoother, and I have seen that there is now
connection with the students.
Analyze
1. What factors/conditions prompted you to establish those classroom routines and procedures?
Answer: One of the things that made me want to do something was the learners' lack of connection. As
we spend the next 2 days with them, I want to deepen our connection and relationship.

2. Was there a marked improvement in classroom management after employing your classroom
routines?
Answer: The management of the classroom has significantly improved, and as the lesson goes on,
everything gets more structured and the students get more engaged.

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

Answer: Yes, because of the learners' structure, participation, and order, the teaching-learning process
has improved.

Reflect
What insights have you gained while doing this learning episode?
Answer: The observations I made about classroom routines throughout this learning session came from
my Resource Teacher. The goal is to keep enhancing classroom procedures since it will prepare me for
the future. Additionally, it gives me a general idea of how to engage with my students while putting the
established routines and procedures into practice. Additionally, I discovered some methods for
grabbing students' attention both offline and online.
