ESTABLISHING MY OWN
CLASSROOM ROUTINES
AND PROCEDURES IN A
8 FACE-TO-FACE/REMOTE
LEARNING
To have a meaningful and successful accomplishment in this FS episode, be
sure to read through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2
Resource Teacher’s class. Note all the information you will need and tasks you will
need to do before working on this episode.
Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Learning Episode, I must able to:
Establish my classroom routines and procedures before, during, and
after classes in a face-to-face or in remote learning.
Explain the classroom routines (what to do, how to do it, when to do it,
and why those need to be done).
Reflect on the basic questions when building my classroom routines
and procedures in the classroom and in remote learning.
List down some possible topics for action research on classroom
routines and procedures.
Use professional reflections and learning to improve practice.
Clarify Your Task
Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures
(Face-to-Face or Remote Learning)
Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and
learning. Routines don’t just make the life of the teacher easier. They save valuable
classroom time. Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.
Establishing routines early in the school year enables you to run your daily
activities run smoothly; ensures that you manage time effectively; helps you maintain
order in the classroom; makes you more focused in teaching because you spend less
time in giving directions/instructions; and enables you to explain to the learners what are
expected of them.
Classroom routines set the foundation for a meaningful school year with teachers
and students whether in the classroom or remotely. To teach classroom routines
remotely, it is best to record videos and to post these in the learning management
system so students may watch them over and over again for better retention and for
families to view them so they can assist their children when needed.
Students can take an active role in establishing classroom routines. They can
brainstorm on ideas which they will most likely do and follow. Routines are important
especially when done in remote learning so that there will be less distractions both for
synchronous and asynchronous participation.

Participate and Assist
To ensure that I can carry out perform my task 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 face-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 the 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 these routines.

Work on my Artifacts
Take some snapshots of your routines in the classroom or in remote learning (put
them inside the box) and tell something about them below. You may also write down the
procedures you have formulated and explain the reasons for these.
