OBSERVE

1. The classroom is composed of different age ranges from 13-15 years old. The characteristics that I
have observed is that they are tall both girls and boys, some are chubby, some are thin, and some
are fat, some are sleepyhead, some are active, and some are just quiet. They are respectful and kind
learners. Moreover, they also want to interact with their classmates
2. There are 23 boys and 21 girls.
3. Yes, they were able to manage their own behavior because they were old enough, independent, and
they knew how to control it. They are behave learners and know how to listen when someone tries
to reprimand them when their behavior is already too much.
4. Yes, the learners can work independently, however, sometimes, they need someone to help or assist
them, especially in their Filipino and Araling Panlipunan class.
5. They can stay for 20 minutes and after that, they will start going to the comfort rooms, lie their
heads on the chair or desk, and lose their focus but after some time, they managed to regain their
focus during the discussion.
2. ANALYZE
1. Yes, there are areas in the classroom for specific purposes such as divan, achievement table,
and storage of books and teaching materials. The divan is intended for the storage of the
cleaning tools, the achievement table on the other hand is an area to place the achievement
of the class, and the storage of books and teaching materials are where things are stored so
that learners and teachers will not be hassle to bring it every day.
2. Yes, there are rules and procedures posted in the classroom. a) Observe silence, b) Show
respect to everyone and c) Maintain cleanliness. These rules reinforce positive behavior to
the learners because they are being reminded of the routines in the classroom and later on,
they are able to adapt and make it a habit.
3. Yes, the learners participated in making the classroom rules. Since they are the ones who
are involved in the rule-making, they already know what things need to abide by when they
are inside their classroom. They also participated in the said rules and these rules helped
them to control their behaviors so that they would not violate any of the approved rules.
4. The daily routines done by the resource teacher are prayer, checking of attendance, checking
of excuse slips, announcements and reminders, monitoring and checking of assignments
and performance tasks.
5. Yes, there is a seating arrangement, and the basis of the arrangement is random. Some were
seated with their friends, some seated with the transferees, and some seated based on what
made them feel comfortable. The seating arrangement helped in managing the class because
one group would tell the others to be quiet or listen to the teacher.
6. The class mayor as one of the right hand of teacher told her classmates to minimize their
voices and her classmates listened to her and the teachers also had command and authority
over the learners which is why they were able to manage the noise in the classroom.
7. If a learner is not following instructions, the teacher will catch the attention first, then
enumerate it step-by-step. When the learner still doesn’t get it, the teacher would show it
first to the learner and let the learner synch with him.
8. The resource teacher would always remind and encourage his learners to possess positive
behaviors because this will reflect on how they are taught at home and school and what
community or environment they belong to. He also possesses positive behavior which
serves him as role model in the classroom and acts as a brother/ father to his learners.
3. REFLECT
1. There is a need to enforce positive discipline so that learners will be well-disciplined and will be
aware of the do’s and don’ts of their actions. This will change their bad behavior and become a
part of the nation that contributes to the betterment.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT MATRIX

Description Effect on the Learners
1. An intended place for every facility that can
be used for the lessons, activities, and needs
of the teachers as well as learners.
It organizes the classroom that can help
learners to focus more on what they are doing
and it will be easier for them to find the things
that they are looking for.
2. Set of boundaries and expectations that
must be followed inside the classroom.
The learners will possess positive behavior
and be aware of their do’s and don’ts in the
classroom.
3. A hierarchal or certain manner that is
followed in the classroom.
The learners will be conscious of their
behavior and the proper sequencing of the
manner in the classroom.
4. Everyday procedure in the classroom. They can make it as their habit such as praying
before anything else and after the activity or
situation.
5. Seats that consist of rows and columns and
a designated place for every individual.
They can have their own place or territory that
can help them focus during discussions and
feel comfortable while they are in school.
6. Proper discipline and procedure is imposed
to correct a negative behavior or to remove
certain behavior
Learn to possess positive behavior and be able
to reflect on their behavior.
7. Encourage, improve, and strengthen
positive behavior.
Contribute to the betterment of the room,
school, community, and nation. They will
possess good and positive behavior that can
give peace.
4. ANALYZE
1. The classroom organization and routines affect the learners’ behavior by making them conscious
of their actions, organization in the classroom, learning to follow instructions, and easily adapting
or adjusting to the environment and community they belong to.
2. The teacher should keep in mind that when designing the classroom organization and routines,
learners should be involved in the process so that they can also impose the best routines for
themselves. The theory that comes to mind is B.F Skinner's Operant Conditioning which involves
punishment and reward. This is a need to instill in the minds of the learners that they are
responsible for all their actions. The actions they made may come with either punishment or
reward.
3. In my perspective, the effective strategy for managing and motivating the behavior of the learners
is Operant Conditioning. Learners, nowadays, are really used to rewards and punishment which is
why I think it is effective. To keep them going they need to receive something as a token and treat
for their hard work and punishment will be given to manage or to change their negative behavior
to positive behavior.
REFLECT
1. I can see myself organizing a Grade 9 class. The routines and procedures that I would consider for
this level are greeting each other every morning, homeroom, cleaning every morning, lunch, and
afternoon, prayer, and caring for each other. I chose these routines and procedures because these
are some of the basic attitudes that one must possess and learn to apply in a real-world setting and
once they are used to it, it will become their habit.
2. a) Keep your phones during class hours, b) listen and participate actively, c) raise your hand if you
want to answer, and d) show respect to everyone around you. I chose these because I want to
maximize their learning and participation in school. Moreover, school is a great place to start or
practice them to be a well-disciplined learner and later on become a good citizen of this nation.
3. The learners must involve themselves in the rule-making so they will participate on the process
because they set that rules for themselves and not for the teachers. All rules were based from what
they think is applicable and needed in their class.

ANALYZE
1. Yes, the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class because it is strictly
followed and implemented thus, if cannot be tolerated or negligence of these have a corresponding
consequences.
2. The routines which are systematic and consistently implemented are checking the tardy and absent,
lining up, prayer, greetings, and cleaning the classroom. The teacher always start the day with a
prayer to ask God’s guidance, then greetings, and checking of attendance. He did these every
morning during homeroom. After the learners’ recess and lunch, he let them line up before entering
the classroom.
7. REFLECT
1. The routines I will most likely to apply is praying every morning to ask God for His guidance and
protection all throughout the day and spiritual aspect is the most important aspect that must be
filled first before anything else. I also want to instill in their minds to acknowledge God in
everything they are going to do.

Classroom Rules Importance
1. Listen attentively -to grasp every information and has something
to answer when asked or have a quiz
2. Raise your hand if you want to answer - to maintain class organization and can be
recognized by the teacher who is answering
3. State answer in complete sentence - to keep track of the question and can be
understood easily
4. Participate actively - to make the classroom interactive
5. Respect everyone - to maintain peace inside the classroom
ANALYZE
1. The circumstances that maybe led to the formulation of the rule is because it is not practiced by
the students and they are not used to it. It can be also a way for crowd control, maintain peace and
order, and organization of the classroom.
2. Yes, the classroom rules are very important to easily managed the classroom and set some
restrictions inside the class. Imposing rules would discipline and make the learners become a good
follower.
REFLECT
1. I want the same rules with my Resource Teacher however, I will add some rules from what has been
already set. The rules that I want to add, first, to be prepared at all times and second, to go to school
on or before time. These rules can really help me to make my future classroom organized and
peaceful. It will also employ proper discipline to my learners.
8. SHOW YOUR LEARNING ARTIFACTS
The learners had just their lunch and they prepared themselves to enter the classroom. They line up
first outside the classroom and wait for the signal to come inside. It can be seen in the picture that it is
already their routine and they were patiently waiting
It can be seen in the picture that they are working with their pairs. They were given illustration here
and to have an answer, they need to collaborate, help each other, and build good friendships with their
classmates to finish their task and submit on time.

ANALYZE
1. The voice of a teacher has an effect on the classroom instructions. With the use of voice, it will
depend whether the learners will listen or not, learn from the lesson, and conveys clear instructions
to the learners.
2. The punctuality of the teacher reflects the standards that he/she wanted to impose in the classroom.
The learners will view him/her as their model and try to replicate his/her behavior and attitudes.
3. The environment has an impact to the learners, that is why, checking the physical aspects are
important. The learners must be comfortable with their places to maximize their learning and keep
their focus for the whole duration of the class.
11. REFLECT
1. There will be no good instructions if there is no order and organization in the classroom, thus
everything will be useless. No matter how much you have planned and prepared for it, once there
is something wrong or problem may arise, it will just ruin everything.
2. My plans in ensuring effective classroom management are set rules at the beginning of the school
year, implement and follow the rules, and give praise and rewards to the learners.

12. ANALYZE
1. There are 12 strategies that were employed and it contribute to a better classroom management
because it made the classroom more organize and interactive as well. The time is maximized and
really used proper. Additionally, were able to gather or learn from their peers and the learning pace
is faster and easier because they were able to help each other.
2. The documentation of the rules, interview students to assess their needs, and write group contracts
are the strategies that were not used by the Resource Teacher. I think, it is important so I suggest
that it must be observed because it has something to do with the behavior or condition of the
learners. It is helpful to easily address the needs, know the limitations in and outside the classroom,
contracts used as evidence, and maximize the participation and interaction in the classroom.
REFLECT
1. The classroom management strategies that I need to employ to respond to diverse types if learners
are to consider peer teaching, be a model in the classroom, address bad behavior quickly, engage
the learners, praise and reward, let them work in groups, and establish classroom guidelines.
