Management of Time

Introduction

Time is of paramount importance that great men compared it with gold and many other precious things. applied to classroom
management, the utilization of time effectively means much more than simply scheduling all the tasks that brings positive change to
the learners.

Why do we need Time Management?

 To save time

 To reduce stress

 To function effectively

 To increase our work output

 To have more control over our job responsibilities.

The Indispensability of time management in the learning process cannot be denied. It is vital that when meaningful time is denied by
the teacher to his/her students, he/she is shortchanging them of the needed competencies relevant to their development.

Insights on Time Management

 It is the responsibility of every teacher to spend time wisely.

 The Mañana habit, which is postponing for tomorrow what can be done for today should not be practiced. When it becomes a
way of life, the teacher becomes the loser.

 Stress is unhealthy and at the same time disturbing. if you do your work on time you can avoid it and you have less time to
worry.

 Can you work with food, music or games? if you thrive on silence while working on your school assignment, remove all forms of
distractions from your workplace.

 Some classmates and colleagues of yours may be your distractions because of their chatting in the workplace. You can avoid
them by simply working silently or excusing yourself politely in order to find a quiet place to work in.

 Train yourself to get up on time to fulfill your plan for the day's lesson.

Principles of Effective Time Management

1. Never be alone in managing your time. Consult your supervisor who will guide you to work out the timetable for all the
competencies to be accomplished. The attribute of time as a finite resource makes one value it. A time schedule that must be
adapted to accomplish the tasks for weeks or months must be adhered to without compromise. If it says that performance is due on
particular day, and there are no intervening factors blocking it, then proceed with it.

2. Be open to the inflexibility of time. Twenty-four hours of time is given to all whether in the administrative side or the faculty and
the students. It is distributed equally no more, no less. Students must be trained to work on the allotted time given them. This is
teaching them the discipline of time.

3. Learn the art of not being agitated by things that need your immediate attention. Accept the fact that no matter how time is
planned, unexpected events may come that are beyond one's control. So there is a felt need to have many options so that if one fails,
there is another alternative to push through with the activity that is still within the time limit.

Ways on Managing Time Effectively

1. Establishing the type of tasks that cannot be compromised

Some tasks cannot be put on hold or in other works, they are non-negotiable. Grades for graduating students cannot be
delayed. Learning institutions on trimestral status should be non-compromising on faculties who shortchange their students in the
attainment of learning competencies.

2. Discarding non-quality tasks and activities


Tasks and activities that do not produce quality outputs should be discarded. These are “time wasters” that interfere with the
smooth flow of the class.

3. Providing for well wasted time

Well wasted time must also be welcomed since the proper use of time does not entail well-spent time only. A teacher who sits
for a while to oversee his students through his roaming eyes is rendering a “meaningful sit” which to some observer is a waste of
time. This is his passive time to recharge himself for other taxing activities. The best and most highly productive teachers know how
and when to recharge themselves and mellow down. To include “wasted time” in one's time plan does not mean unproductive time.
When you allow your students to exhibit their outputs and give them time to view the beauty of their classmates' works in an
unhurried manner, is “wasted time” justified.

4. Learning to say “NO”

It takes courage to say “NO” to the students and to oneself under limited time allotted to a particular course. The teacher must
learn to say “no” to students' demands that may interfere with planned activities. This occurs when both the teacher and the
students are carried away by the discussion that they forget also to stick to the timetable of the lesson.

Ideal time management addresses the four aforementioned ways of managing


time for the benefits of the students.
