(Print COT 2019)
Reflection
1. What teaching strategies did you learn from Module 4 that would help
you organize or develop teaching-learning activities for these various
groups of learners?
The teaching strategies that I’ve learned from this module is that we should
recognize that our learners our unique and learns and study in different
methods. We should never compare but what we should do is to offer a
variety of activities that will capture their interest, cater to their needs, as
well as enhance their skills and talents.
II. Were you able to adequately address the diverse needs of these learners?
Yes, our master teacher have always emphasized the importance of
incorporating activities with varied instructions during COT’s.
III. What are the needs to be improved professionally to deal with diverse
learners?
To be honest in order to create and prepare the best lessons we must
have ample time to prepare. Also the number of students within the class
should be ideal because the ambiance and learning environment should
also be ideal.
IV. What is your realization on the importance of knowing and providing
variation in learning opportunities?
I realized that if I don’t give my learners a variety when presenting my
lesson then I’m not doing much help to aid my learners in fostering a great
learning environment.
5. Share what you feel and think after finishing this lesson by completing
the following statements. (i) My knowledge in understanding diversity of
learners and their learning needs will help me to… (ii) I find the lesson…

This session helped me realized that we cater to different learners
at different stages and that my teaching strategies should be in
line to their cognitive level.
• How did the session help you in integrating a 21 st century skill in your
DLP?
It helped me realize that in order to adapt to globalization we
must inculcate the 21st century skills in our lessons for our them
to become competent and up to standard.
• How does the session help you as a newly-hired teacher manage better
the individual differences your learners?
Help them realize that each one of them are unique and that each
one of them have different learning styles and skills. This would
also help them accept learners with special needs with more
compassion.
• Which of the skills discussed are you comfortable in teaching given
your current level of professional development?
ICT skills because I think I know my ins and outs enough to apply
and incorporate them in my lessons.
• Which skill do you find challenging to teach?

the school head.
Reflection
Considering your current situation as a beginning teacher/proficient teacher,
How will you maximize the use of DLL/DLP in tracking the learning
progress of your learners?
I can look back using my assessment and compare it to the flow of my
class as well as the activities that I have created to know if the learners
we’re immersed on the lesson.
What assistance do you need to improve the teaching-learning process in
your delivery?
I really need to improve on my teaching strategies as well as classroom
management. I tend to get interrupted easily and it is hard to continue on
smoothly. Hopefully I’ll be able to improve with time.

G. Reflection
In what concrete ways does the session help me become a more
agentic/empowered teacher aligned to standard and domain)
This session helped me realize just how important EBEIS is. These forms
help centralize and monitor our learners. Oftentimes a lot of learners drop
out and gets lost in the system. It’s hard for schools to monitor them
when they get back to school so the system is easily cheated but with LIS
we can now monitor what school they’ve transferred in or they’ve been
retained in.

G. Activities and Assessment
Activity 1A:
“MY FIRST WEEK OF TEACHING”
Get a coupon bond paper, pencil and coloring pens. Think of your class
during your first week of teaching. Sketch or draw that scene or situation. Do
this in 5 minutes.
Look at your output. Describe the symbol/diagram that you have drawn.
(2 minutes)
My illustration represents the learners on the 1st week of my teaching. I was
a shadow teacher for our veteran teacher who had a stroke and I had to
handle his class for a few weeks before the end of the semester. The
learners we’re puzzled because they we’re wondering why they suddenly
have 2 teachers. The teacher and I explained the situation and the learners
understood quickly.
Activity 1B:
OUR THROW BACK BOARD
Group the teachers, then say:
Consider this group as your School Learning Action Cell (SLAC) or District
Action
Learning Cell (DLAC). Your illustration (from Activity 1A)will be a part of your
Small Group Dynamics Activity where you will be sharing experiences with
other newly hired teachers. Select a leader or group facilitator.
Once all the teachers in your group have shared consolidate the pictures
and experiences of the group using the “Throw Back Board”.
Let your group facilitator present your group’s output.
The common classroom management problems experienced by new teachers
like you are:
a) Annoying classroom distractions which may include noise inside and
outside the classroom, learners out of their seats, working on activities
by groups and others.
b) Antagonism with authority which usually happens when learners refuse
to follow teachers and fellow learners in class
c) Argumentative learners which happens when learners try to challenge or
outsmart the teacher
d) Behavior problems which are the misconduct of learners that are
beyond the set classroom rules
e) Boastful and attention-seeking learners which occurs when they
misbehave to get your attention and is mostly done by bragging or in a
conceited manner
f) Calling-out in class usually happens when students freely say their
answers or comments as answer to your questions/statements without
being acknowledged or call by teacher, or when you expect them to be
working quietly and yet learners continuously talks in their
seats/groups
g) Class clown usually is seen when your learners untimely and often
make fun of things inside the classroom
h) Demanding learners exist in the classroom when they tend to require
your constant attention
i) Failure to ask for help exist in the classroom when learners in class
refuse to ask for help even if he/she does not fully understand the task
j) Hyperactivity is encountered when learners divert their
attention/interests in class or in the task on hand, it too may be
encountered when learners inject irrelevant topic or stimuli that may
distract the class.
These are just some common problems encountered by teachers. Which
of have you experienced? What did you do? (Ask a few to answer, then proceed
to the next activity).
Using your journal, prepare two columns. On the first column, list down
all the classroom management problems you have encountered, while on the
second column, write the action/s that you have undertaken to address the
problem. (10 minutes)
Classroom Management Problems Action Taken

Annoying classroom distractions Put a stop immediately
Boastful and attention-seeking learners Ignored/redirect
Behavior problems Communicate with child.
Failure to ask for Communicate with the child
and offer remediation as well as

Class clown Ignored/redirect
Activity 2:
WATCH AND LEARN
As students yourselves before, you may have had teachers who have exhibited
excellent teaching practices that promote a positive teaching-learning
environment. Remember them and recall those practices that you love most.
Write those practices in your journal and prepare for a 5-minute sharing with
a partner. Which practices do you think you could replicate now that you have
become a teacher yourself? (Allow for around 10 minutes sharin
I remember my sophomore algebra teacher who gave us tons of assignments
and had us solve and present it to the class it was my worst nightmare because
I hate reporting but the things is years later I still remembered her lessons and I
think that her method allowed us to become more aware and up on our toes.
For you to become one of the admired seasoned teachers in school,
consider the following suggestions and apply which is appropriate to the key
stage of the learners that you handle.
When it comes to sharing effective classroom management strategies,
there are different ways of doing it. Some strategies that really work for some
teachers are the following. (Crockett, WL, 5 Classroom Management Strategies
That Really Work, July
2017)
a) Write Down the Rules. Give your learners a Student’s Handbook or
Student’s Manual. You may also conceptualize it and adapt it to your
classroom level.
b) Let Learner’s Help. Involve your learners in the creation of
guidelines/rules for they are more apt to follow them.
c) Encourage Questioning. Emphasize to your learners that they can and
should ask questions anytime of the things that they need to know or
be clarified about. Learners must also be given instruction that they
need to raise their hand if they want to ask or raise question/s.
d) Let Learners Lead. Encourage your learners to step into your shoes
and lead their classmates. Leading the class should also be in turns so
more learners will be developed as leaders.
e) Encourage Group Works/Projects. Provide for lessons and tasks that
will bring students together for building teamwork and leadership skills.
Talk points before Activity 3:
Now, do you still remember the drawing you made and the Throw Back
Board that your group made in Activity 1? Have you somehow had realizations
on how to overcome the difficulties that you went through in classroom
management during your first year of teaching?
Here are additional classroom management tips that you may want to
read and consider before you complete the next activity.
a) Every student/learner must be engaged in the lesson/activity.
b) Classroom procedures create consistency and strictly followed.
c) Always check for understanding.
d) Create a safe classroom environment using respect.
e) Use classroom consequences to correct wrong student behavior.
f) Use the tone of your voice and body language to communicate.
g) Academically challenge every student/learner.
h) Devise mechanism to easily get your students/learners attention.
i) Use a classroom seating chart.
j.) Increase participation by using collaboration.

Activity 3
DEAR ME
You are now tasked to write a letter to yourself. The title of this activity is
Dear Me! In your letter, talk to yourself and give advice on how you can be a
better teacher applying the given approaches in this module and the best
practices observed from your co-teachers. Make sure your letter will inspire
and will make you a better classroom manager
Dear ME,
Don’t pressure yourself into becoming the perfect teacher. All things take
time and all things will fall into their place. Give yourself time to grow and learn.
Life will not be all about comfort and there will be challenges along the way.
Just push through and don’t be discourage. Use it as an opportunity to learn.
-ME
How do you feel after reading your letter? Did it make you feel better and
hopeful? Keep that letter and perhaps after some years you may come across
that letter again, read it and assess how you progressed as a teacher.
I feel better. I realize that I put too much stress on myself as a teacher that
I don’t even give myself an opportunity for a learning curve.
Activity No. 4
CLASSROOM RULES
Recall all your outputs, journal and reflection in the previous activities. Have
you collated them all? Hopefully you have learned strategies and techniques
that you want to apply in your class.
One of the useful strategy that a teacher can do to ensure a positive
teachinglearning environment is orientation of the learners to classroom
rules/procedures which can be done at beginning of the school year. When
consistently adhered to and followed, this set of rules could help promote a
positive teaching-learning environment.
a) Consider the guide questions below when crafting your classroom rules
and procedures.
b) Who will be covered by the rules I am crafting?
c) What aspects of teaching-learning should be included in the
rules?
d) Are the rules aligned or consistent to standing guidelines and
department orders?
e) Are the rules supportive of learners’ well-being and academic
performance?
f) Will the rules help develop positive behavior and lifelong habits?
Reflection:
After learning strategies on classroom management in this session…
I will stop
Being inconsistent.
I will continue
Set firm rules for my learners.
I need my immediate superior/coach to help me in
Applying these rules and their guidance.

Reflection
In what concrete ways does the session help you become more
aware about child protection and anti-bullying policies?
It helped me realize just how important it is for us teachers
to not tolerate bullying. Bullying leads to so many bad
consequences not only for the victim but also the perpetrator.
Bullied learners become so distant and grow up with low self-
esteem, as a teacher we must prevent this kind of thing to happen
to our learner.
