ANALYZE
Analyze the different elements of personal/physical classroom

management and answer the following questions.
1. How does the voice of the teacher affect classroom instruction?
 It is very important because the students will depend on the voice

pitch of the teacher. They do not want high pitch voice, they do not
want low pitch voice but instead they want a voice that is well
modulated that can be heard at the back. As a teacher, you should
to control the pitch of your voice for you to be able to get the
attention of your students and for them to understand what you are
talking and what you are discussing. Voice is the fundamental
aspect needed in the teaching field.
2. How does the punctuality of the teacher affect classroom discipline?
 By being punctual, the teacher would have set a very good

example to students to follow. What the student sees in the teacher
they will also follow. So it is better for teachers to set good
examples so that their students can look at them with respect, an
example of which is being punctual in class which can affect
students' discipline in the classroom.
3. Why do we need to check on the physical aspects of classroom

management?
 It is important for us to check the physical aspects of classroom

management it because it will affect the students’ comfort and their
ability to learn. It is also because it can help to prevent behavior
issues and can help to improve the learning of the students.
REFLECT
Reflect on the aspects of personal and classroom management.
1. What does this statement mean to you as a future teacher? Explain. "No
amount of good instruction will come out without effective classroom
management."
 It says that classroom management is effective because it improves

the students’ the ability to learn and increases the students’
success by creating a field wherein the student enhances their
academic skills and competencies including their social and
emotional development.
2. What are your plans in ensuring effective classroom management?
 I will make sure as a Teacher that the rules and procedures in the
classroom are being imposed properly with proper design that
involves explanation and group output to establish clear and
consistent boundaries in the class. I will be positive every time that
always encourages them toward their positive behaviors. I will give
them the freedom to express their own thoughts and opinions in the
class and I will not allow their differences to become a hindrance
that will affect their learning instead, I am going to connect each of
one of them that no one is behind for them to grow together and
become successful in the near future.

strategies like the use of non-verbal communication, establish
classroom guidelines, offer praise and rewards, let students work in

REFLECT
As a future teacher, reflect on the observations then answer the given

question.
1. What classroom management strategies do I need to employ to respond

to diverse types of learners?
 I will use the “Let the students work in groups” classroom

management strategy to respond to diverse types of learners
because through group activities the students with mixed-ability are
being group and promotes learning and are given the chance to
lead a group or teach their classmates. An extension of this is to
place students who learn in similar ways together like for example,
visual learners with visual learners, auditory with auditory, etc.
Doing so can make a huge difference during small-group
instruction.
