The narratives were reflective of both problems and challenges of novice teachers on classroom management. There were eight (8) participants who are mentors or master teachers in Carmen District. The data gathering of information in this phenomenological inquiry had employed in-depth interview of participants through virtual conference and limited face-to-face subsequently observing strict compliance of standard health protocol. Using thematic analysis, the classroom management mistakes of novice teachers were as follows: poor communication, and inconsistent classroom rules. The findings indicated that the teacher-participants perceived hindrances as barriers that prevent them from taking the opportunity to mentor and coach novice teachers in the school. On the challenges of the mentors in helping novice teachers in their classroom management mistakes, the following were the themes and findings of the study: lack of time to mentor and lack of commitment. The findings showed that the problem of mentors in helping novice teachers correct classroom management mistakes was the lack of commitment to spend time for mentoring. From the problems and challenges of novice teachers, the following were the insights drawn from the findings of the study: strengthen teacher mentoring and conduct trainings in mentoring. From the start, this study endeavored to contribute insights on classroom management mistakes of novice teachers.
