Participate and Assist
To ensure that I can carry out /perform my tasks efficiently and effectively in participating
and assisting my cooperating teacher in establishing routines and procedures in the classroom
or in remote learning, I must be guided by the following questions:
1. How will I gain student attention in the classroom / remote learning?
2. What are the routines and procedures that I need to establish before, during, and after
my classes whether on a facet-to-face or remote learning?
3. What verbal and non-verbal communication will I use to signal that students need
help/attention in the classroom / remote learning?
4. How must students get/secure the needed work materials and books and others in the
classroom / remote learning?
5. How will students transition to group work and other cooperative activities in the
classroom / remote learning?
6. What procedures must be followed by students who need to attend to personal
necessities in the classroom/online classes?
7. What rules must be set for students who finish task early/ and for those who cannot
complete work on time?
8. What procedures must be observed for tardiness / early dismissals?
9. What procedures must be done when submitting homework / performance tasks in the
classroom / remote learning?
10. What procedures must be employed in movements into and out of the classroom/remote
learning?
Having these guide questions in mind, consult your Resource Teacher on the possible
assistance or participation that you can do to help her/him in doing the classroom routines.
Complete that matrix for the routines that you can employ before, during, and after classes in
the classroom/remote learning to ensure order and discipline in your classes. List down the
problems which you have encountered while implementing th ese routines.
