Classroom+Procedures



Have a copy of your routines and procedures to hand to each of your students on the first day of school. (Keep extra copies on hand for new students who arrive later in the year.) • Explain the rationale behind the routine or procedure. • Model the routine or procedure for the students. • Give the students non-examples of compliance. • Have the students (or one student) model the procedure. Be consistent. Don't give up after a few days. The time spent teaching, monitoring and reinforcing routines and procedures during the first three weeks of school will pay tremendous dividends. If the routines and procedures are established at the beginning of the year, the entire rest of the year will be more enjoyable and productive for both you and your students. [|Education Oasis] Morning Classroom Procedures: 
 * __ Points to remember: __**
 * Do not simply hand out the list, go over it once, and expect the students to comply.
 * Teach the most important, key procedures over a period of days, one or two at a time.
 * Teach the less important routines and procedure by simply stating the routine or procedure, monitoring it, and reinforcing it when necessary.

Dismissal Procedures:

Teaching Dismissal
Just like any other routine, Four Corners teachers taught the dismissal routine by showing students what each part of the journey was supposed to look, sound, and feel like. Then students practiced, while the adults watched and named specifically what children were doing well, such as "I noticed that all of your hands stayed at your sides when you walked down the hallway today." Because the expectations for moving through the hallways were the same schoolwide, any adult could offer such reinforcement or provide reminders when students needed them. [|Responsive Classroom]

When the light is on, the students are not allowed to talk to the teacher. I would use this during any small group time (guided reading, math small groups, or reading small groups.) [|Pinterest]

This will remind students to raise their hands instead of blurting out an answer. If a student were to blurt out I would point to this in my classroom and remind them that we raise our hands first. [|Teaching Posters]



This is a good tool for students to look at if they need to be reminded what it means to respect someone. I would use this when a student was being disrespectful to another student or a teacher and have them read it as their first warning to remind them what respecting someone means. [|Pinterest]
