Professional Development Plan

My 21st Century Classroom Facilitating Skills Aspects

Observations

Strengths

Facilitation Style

Learners acquire the knowledge and skills through demonstration by the teacher then collaboration with other students.

Integrating technology in the instruction to maximize learning. Organizing learning teams to develop cooperation and collaboration.

Identifying developmental level of individual student to make instruction responsive to individual learning needs

Collaborate with colleagues to identify effective ways in which learning takes place and in planning instruction appropriate to the levels of the students through LAC sessions

Accommodation of students’ learning style

Using different modalities are employed in the classroom to accommodate students with different learning styles.

Using a multitude of instructional methods and activities in my classroom, such as pictures, video clips, and “field trip”, activities may offer students alternative pathways to learning

Constructing lessons and activities that are constantly in directional movement from one particular learning style to another within a given period of time.

Establish a rapport with students in order to acquire information about their individual strengths and weaknesses

Differentiated activities for students to make them more interested and helps them learn in a collaborative working environment.

-Taking into account the physical layout and arrangement of the classroom to create an atmosphere that encourages participation and learning. -Making appropriate demands, giving clear signals and being consistent with the rules and regulations

HOTS questions and activities that get students to think critically were given as reflected in the lesson plan.

Providing more opportunities for students to elaborate their answers and talk about what they are learning and discuss where those ideas come from

- Allow various seating arrangements and clustering the students around focus areas for activities, and moving back to a more traditional seating arrangement when they have completed the tasks - Anticipate problems and have a plan of keeping students busy to prevent misbehavior and untoward incidents -Incorporate the Socratic questioning process into my daily interactions with students -Attend seminar-workshops on the art of questioning

Provision of Learning Environment that is conducive for: Learners are work together in  Active Learning groups to actively engage them to the lesson and activities.



Higher Order Thinking

The activities and questions in the lesson plan are engaged in low and level thinking skills. However, the emphasis are on lower-order thinking, or simply recall or factual response level.

Areas for Improvement

Action Points



Contextual Learning

Questioning and Reacting Skills

Students are given opportunities to manipulate real objects.

Introducing the topics in multitude ways and allowing students to have deeper understanding through realia.

Integrating other areas of discipline in the lesson.

Collaborate with colleagues in designing a learning environment, which incorporates many different forms of experiences that will help students in understanding the concepts and how these can be used outside the classroom.

Asking too many closed questions that require only oneword answers. Students must also be asked how did they learn or how did they arrive at their answers. Further, less opportunities are provided for students to ask questions.

Students were given sufficient waiting time to answer before going on or asking others to respond. Moreover, if the student is unable to answer, the question is rephrased or a more factual question is asked to bridge the gap and help lead the student toward the answer.

Try to ask more open-ended question and encourage students to listen and respond to each other. Questioning techniques must foster the thinking ability of the students

Increase own repertoire of type questions by attending trainings on employing divergent, highlevel and open-ended questions

MY CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN Philosophical Statement To live life productively and meaningfully, I want my student to have a deep sense of values in the 21st century. They are all equipped with the essential knowledge, skills, attitudes and values for them to face the challenges to the changes of time. I want them to be able to find ways to remain strong despite the vulnerabilities of life. As a facilitator of learning, I want to make my learners actively engaged in the teachinglearning process, and feel the welcoming, comfortable and friendly atmosphere in the class. The sense of belongingness and importance of my learners is uplifted and heightened. Their learning environment must be conducive in order to encourage learners to soar high to progress. I want them to discover their potentials and I will help them nurture them and make use of that to improve themselves. My classroom must be an enabling factor for learners to grow and develop. Rules and Procedure I believe that the classroom should be friendly where everyone respects one another in the utmost sense of sincerity. I want to have rules in the class that everyone should be guided of and follow. This will be done on the first day to let students understand what is expected of them in order to prevent indiscipline. This will be a contract that the students and I make, which after will be posted on the wall to use as a reminder of how we all agreed to behave in our classroom. I will solicit ideas from the learners on how to go through with them which involves their participation in our school activities. The democratic style in establishing rules and procedures is very helpful of instilling to the learners the responsibility and leadership. Classroom Arrangement The set-up of my classroom has a big effect on my student learning. In my classroom, students are hit with vibrant colors on the walls, natural lighting from the windows and an inviting sensation. They feel safe and welcome wandering to their seats in a circle tables and see their classmates as they face each other. They will glance from wall to wall looking at numbers, alphabets, and student work all depicted in colorful posters around the room. There is also a portfolio area where the learners can exhibit their works. There should also a space for materials and technologies that can be utilized for the teachinglearning episodes in my classroom. Modern technology like projectors, computers, TV and audio should be present. Also present in my classroom a collection of children’s favorite books within our reading corner and other references gathered in a nook. Misbehavior Intervention One of the many challenges of classroom management is dealing with behavior. If learners quarrel, I would listen to both sides so that I will be able to have informed decision on the behavior measure that I must take. I would talk to my learners and listen to their claims in a manner that will make them feel still respected and valued despite any mistake. I would make the child feel at ease, so that it would be easier for me too to analyze how to treat the situation, and find ways to help the learners correct their wrongdoing. I would also ask help from parents and school faculty to work with me hand-in-hand in disciplining the children in nice manner, so that they won’t get embarrassed.

Classroom Safety In a classroom, safety must be consistently observed in physical arrangements of furniture, equipment and in the conduct of class and school activities. Safety measures on the use of electrical equipment and instructional materials should be made known to the learners. Cabinets and hanging furniture should be well-placed. There is also a need of my students as well as the teacher to participate to hazard drills in school so that everyone knows what to do during unwanted circumstances. I want to have a classroom that is safe not only in terms of physical attributes but also social and emotional such as safety from bullying and maltreatment. Student Celebration Students’ milestones are worthy of celebration. Learners who manifest significant improvement in their performances and behavior need to be recognized and be given special mention through praises, acknowledgements, and encouraging gestures. Honor pupils for a quarter or school year and winners of contests should be recognized through awards in a school assembly and during flag ceremony.

REFLECTION: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN

Classroom management is an important component in any educational setting. This is because meaningful learning takes place when students are in safe environment (Kauffman et al., 2006).In making this classroom management plan, the main goal is to have the right environment for all learners. There are significant insights about classroom I learned from crafting the plan and feedbacks from school principal: In managing the classroom, you can increase student’s success and creates a productive and cooperative learning environment. Careful planning contributes learning success. As a teacher, I must be consistent in reminding my students about the rules and regulations we have agreed. Although misbehavior may happen anytime but being a proactive teacher will help a lot in maintaining a positive behavior with my students. I can work hand-in-hand with parents, faculty, and also to the community in instilling a positive and desired behavior. Big or small successes are occasions of motivation that would enable students to do even better. Teachers and learners should be made aware of their safety in terms of physical attributes as well as their social and emotional aspect. In conclusion, I believe that this classroom management plan is a key to a conducive learning environment where students feel safe and are actively involved in learning activities. This will allow me to understand how will the learner will grow and develop his/her understanding in my classroom. I’m looking forward to use my classroom management plan to my students this school year and will continue to improve this plan as I integrate other methods and teaching strategies into my practice.
