Learning Episode 8
Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures in a Face-to-Face / Remote Learning

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 mange time effectively; helps you maintain order in the classroom;
makes you more focused on teaching because you spend less 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?

Fore me I will gain attention of my students by build curiosity for learning with
"teasers" that get students interested in a lesson. Second is look for ways to make lessons
relevant to students' lives. Third ask questions to engage students in learning and inquiry.
Next remember that variety is the spice of attention. A mix of learning activities helps keep
students engaged. Last is evoke emotions. Just as emotions can be distracting, they can
also be used to enhance attention by making a lesson or learning activity more interesting.

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?

The routine and procedures that I need to establish before my class is to greet my
students and pray before the lesson started. Second is ask them to arrange their chair and
put some piece of paper or trash in their table. Third is checking the attendance to know
who is absent that day. Last is give quick motivational activity. During of my classes say
your lesson objectives and begin the lesson. Next is give group work or individual work.
Then collect their activity and check it. After class give assignments and close the class by
closing prayer.

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

In verbal communication I can use by call me or tell them they feel free to ask me
question. While in non-verbal I can use by hand signal, or hand gestures. Facial expressions
also and body language or your posture.

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

The importance of Instructional Materials or Educational resources is to improve

students' knowledge, abilities, and skills, to monitor their assimilation of information, and

to contribute to their overall development and upbringing. Enhances conceptual

understanding and engages higher order thinking skills.

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

To cooperate students in their group work first you need to give clear
instruction. Give task that that are just above student ability. And allow fun during
their work so they all enjoy.

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

The students who need personal necessities can always tell me and share it to me
by talked to me personally in private or messaging me if the feeling shy.

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

Sometimes give some additional points to the students that always finish their task
early. So, all the students who cannot complete and pass the task on time will get some
lesson.

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

When a child is ill, no active learning can take place. Children who are not feeling
well, and exhibit signs of illness, or are in discomfort from an injury or accident, should
have the right to be cared for in a safe and comfortable home-like environment. We urge
you to assess your child for illness and injury, and use common sense for keeping a child
home from school. Sending an ill child to school also creates the opportunity for illnesses to
spread rapidly around our classrooms, endangering other students and staff.

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

The students submit their homework inside the classroom by put it under my table
or I made some box that they will put it inside. While in online learning they can send it to
me personally or send to the links that I make then turn it.

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

Effective classroom movement simply acknowledges that there is a direct

connection between physical movement and things like attention, memory, and learning.
One of the most effective and freeways to improve attitudes, increase retention, and
improve student focus is to lead students in simple movement activities. Same outside the
school apply the good attitudes and be responsible.

Having theses guide questions in mind, consult your Resource Teacher 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 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.

 Students have more distraction and can’t focus to the lesson

 Some student being left behind
 Students not cooperating and communicating

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?

I feel challenged after participating and assisting my cooperating teacher. After class
routines I feel overwhelmed because they really respect me the way they respect their
teacher.

 How did your students respond to your classroom routines and procedures?

They respond my classroom routines with respect and followed all the routines and
procedures that I implement. Also, they the routines and procedures will be familiar to
them because of the everyday class. When routines and procedures are carefully taught,
modeled, and established in the classroom, 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.

 What was the feedback of your Resource teacher on your classroom routines and
procedures?

My resource teacher feedback to my classroom routines and procedures are good.

He said that it’s right to have that some kind of interaction with my handling students.

 Was there a change in the classroom environment / teaching-learning process after you
have implemented your classroom routines and procedures?

Yes, the learners are very active to participating in class and during the discussion.
Student are consistent engagement of the minds of all students with that which is to be
learned.

Analyze

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

procedures?

I establish these routines and procedures to have a good classroom environment.

Rules have consequences, and routines have reminders.

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

classroom routines?

Yes, after employing my classroom routines, routines reduce pupil distractions,

make the classroom environment predictable and secure, and reduce the possibility for
misbehavior. A predictable and secure environment benefits all pupils but is particularly
valuable for pupils with special educational needs.

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

Yes, teaching-learning improve because of the classroom routine and procedures. Routines
allow students to quickly accomplish day-to-day tasks that are required of both the teacher
and students. Routines also help to create smoother transitions between activities and
therefore allow fewer opportunities for disruptions to occur.

Reflect

What insights have you gained while doing this learning episode?

While doing this episode I learned that procedures and routines inside the classroom are
very important. When routines and procedures are carefully taught, modeled, and established in

the classroom, 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. Procedures help students know what to do when the bell rings, when their pencil
breaks, when they finish their work early, or when the need to use the restroom. ... Second, they
reduce classroom interruptions and discipline problems because they tell students how things will
work.
