🟦 Pedagogical Module 1: Week 1 - Rules & Routines

MANAGING THE LESSON: WEEK 1

👥 ATTENDANCE: Mandatory for Full-Time Teachers Only.

📍 FOCUS: Replacing shouting with clear, non-verbal signals.

At the start of the meeting, a facilitator is chosen from among people who haven't been a facilitator recently (going around the group in-turn style).

📋 THE WORKSHOP PLAN (90 Minutes)

MATERIALS NEEDED: Sticky notes, Pens, Printout of Video Transcript (Eng/Viet).

1. SETUP & REALITY CHECK (0-15 mins)

• Facilitator: Open the "Intro to Classroom Management" Video on the TV (Intro Video)

• Activity: Facilitator writes on the board: "Why do I raise my voice in class?"

• Action: Every teacher writes 1 honest answer on a sticky note and sticks it on the board.

• Evidence: Facilitator takes a clear photo of the board with the notes.

  
  

2. INPUT & REFLECTION (15-40 mins)

• Read: Distribute the Video Transcript Printout to everyone.

• Watch: Play the video (approx 4 mins). Teachers follow along on the paper.

• Discuss: Answer as a group: "What is one non-verbal signal mentioned in the text?"

• Record: One teacher sits in front of the camera and summarizes the group's answer in a 30-second video.

  
  

3. WORKSHOP: DESIGNING RULES (40-80 mins)

• Step A (Rules): As a group, write down 3 Non-Negotiable Rules for JYS using positive language (e.g., "English First," "Listen to the Speaker"). Write them on the whiteboard.

• Step B (Signal): Design 1 Non-Verbal Signal for the center (e.g., a specific clap pattern: Clap-Clap-ClapClapClap).

• Step C (Practice): Everyone stands up.

  • One person acts as the Teacher using the signal.

  • The others act as Noisy Students.

  • Practice until the "students" stop talking immediately upon hearing the signal. Rotate roles so everyone tries.

✅ REQUIRED EVIDENCE (Zalo)

• In-Meeting: Post the video of the group showing their written rules on the board and demonstrating the signal in action.

• Homework (Before next meeting): Teach the new signal in a real class. Take a photo of the Rules written on your whiteboard. Caption: "My signal was [Name]. It worked/didn't work because..."
