I am assigned at Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School and I have two resource teacher which they are teaching grade 8 and 10 students. Since I already had my observation I've seen my one resource teacher whi ch teaching grade 8 as a Progressivists and Essentialists teacher. Progressivist because she is a kind of teacher who is student centered. She gave knowledge to her student and make sure that students' understand the lesson by asking them a question.

Having said that, Discipline often comes to mind at the mention of classroom management, but the crucial component of teaching is much more. Classroom management creates a set of expectations used in an organized classroom environment. It includes routines, rules and consequences. Effective classroom management paves the way for the teacher to engage the students in learning.
