Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following

Why not?

 The routines that are performed in the class are effective in ensuring
discipline and order. Evidently, the students are focused, the class is
organized and the flow of instruction is smooth. The time allotted for
discussion, activities and assessment are consumed well.

2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented?

Explain your answer.

 The routines that are implemented are:

 Morning prayer

 Classroom rules

These routines were implemented regularly and orderly by the teacher

and the students. These contribute to the harmony in class during they
instruction.

1. Which of the routines will you most likely to apply in your class? Why? Why
not?

 Morning prayer – I believe that it is an important way to start the class.

 Checking of attendance – as I need to monitor my students presence and
identify those who have been tardy in the class. It is also a way to
recognize my students faces and remember.
 Assignment – for them to review their lesson and build their
independence.

 Classroom rules are essential in the class because not just it eliminates
possible misconduct of students but it shapes their behavior and
discipline and improves there learning.

Reflect

Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher. Will you
have the same rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your
answer.

 I will definitely employ the classroom rules set by my Resource Teacher

because, I saw how responsible the students are with their actions, they
are well-behaved and disciplined. They are respectful and most
importantly they don’t do the things that are not allowed in the class.
Because of this, they were able to learn the lessons effectively. In my
perspective as a teacher, using these rules will be easier for me to manage
my class and achieve the learning objectives effectively.
