Procedures:
This document addresses all of the following administrative routines, routines for student
movement, house-keeping routines, use and distribution of materials and
completion/submission of assignments, routines for interacting with peers and for getting
assistance from the teach. All of the following procedures will be explained and modeled
during the first week of school
Administrative Routines:
Classroom Jobs
Each student will be given a job at some point during the semester. Students will be assigned
specific jobs. These jobs would be rotated every 3 weeks. At the beginning of the school year
we will model what you have to do for each job. The following are the jobs:
Attendance: take attendance at beginning of period.
Planner Stamper: stamp planners where they write down the homework
Paper passer: Passes out handouts
Bin organizer: tidys up the bins so the papers are in one pile
Organizing classroom buckets: Makes sure the materials are back in the buckets.
Greeter: Will welcome the guest that is in the room.
Trash cans: Put trash cans out at the end of the day (last block)
Cleaning chalkboards (Homeroom)
Attendance: The person who is in charge of attendance will go to the blackboard that has the
students names on a magnet slip. The person will call out each student. If a student is absent
the attendance person will move his or her name to the box that is labeled absent.
Recording Tardiness: When the bell rings you should be in the classroom writing down your
homework (if there is any). If you are late to class without a pass you will receive a warning
( which I talk about in my discipline plan).
Distributing School notices: Students will be given school notices during homeroom. They will
take theses home in their binders to show their guardians.
Routines for Student Movement:
Beginning of class: You are expected to enter the classroom quietly. Once you sit down, you
are to write down the homework in your planner! You should then, complete the warm-up that is
shown on the smart-board. While you are doing the warm up, the planner stamper will go
around to check that you wrote down the homework, and then give you a stamp.
End of class: Students will wait for me to indicate that class is over before packing up.
Students will stay in their seats until the bell rings. Students who have the job such as bin
organizer, or organizing classroom buckets will perform their duties.
Going to the restroom: Depending on school policy. The last school I was at gave students 3
passes for the week for all subjects. Students may not go to the bathroom during direct
instruction. (Emergencies are handled differently). The planner space at the bottom will be used
as passes.
Going to the nurse: If it is not an emergency, and you hurt yourself and or are feeling ill, let me
know at any time as long as it is not during direct instruction. If you have to go to the nurse and
it is an emergency interrupt discussion and come let me know. The planner space at the bottom
will be used as passes.

Going to the library: You are allowed to go to the library only during homeroom and not during
math class. Only time you can go to the library during math class, is if we are taking a test and
you finished early.
Participating in fire drills: You must leave all your belongings in the classroom. Students are
expected to line up single file. Once we leave the room there is SILENCE! At the beginning of
the year we will have practice fire drills once a week (depending on the school) to practice what
to do when the fire alarm goes off. Always treat the fire alarm as an emergency and not only a
drill! Once I lead you outside to our spot, I will call each of your names and when I call your
name say here. Besides, you responding to me saying here, there should be SILENCE.
Sharpening Pencils: Students are allowed to sharpen pencils during any time.
Using computers or other equipment: The number you are assigned at the beginning of the
year, is the number of the computer you are assigned. You MUST take your computer. There
will be a line behind the computer cart where students have to line up to wait to get there
computer while another student is getting theirs. Only ONE student allowed to be by the cart at
a time. The other students will be waiting behind the line in front of the cart. When taking
computers, you must pick up with both hands and DO NOT HOLD IT BY ITS BATTERY! When
putting the computer back, the same rules apply: Only one student putting away their computer
at a time, while the others are waiting patiently behind the line in a single-file. Students are to
plug the chargers back in when returning the computers. Students are expected to only be on
the site that we are working on. Students are given the privilege to use the computers, so
follow directions and be on the appropriate site we are working on.
Getting Materials: One person from each table will be asked to pass out the buckets with the
materials in it. If students need looseleaf they can go at anytime to get it in the basket.
House-keeping Routines:
Students from my homeroom will be responsible to clean the chalkboards, tighten up the carpet
area, and feed the fish.
Students are suppose to keep backpacks/ bags in their locker along with their CELL
PHONES & MP3 players. (Phone policy will be based on schools policy).
Lesson Planning Routines: These following routines specify the behaviors that are necessary in
order for teaching and learning to take place (Weinstein & Novodvorsky, 2015).
What to bring to class: As stated on my classroom policies, students are expected to bring a
their binder, pencil(s), colored pens and PLANNER to class DAILY.
Collecting homework: After we go over the homework, students will turn it into the bin for this
class block. When I tell you to turn in your homework, you are going to first make sure your
name is on it and then turn it into the bin number that matches your block NEATLY! Same
goes for collecting in-class assignments.
Recording who has done homework: There may be times that I go around to check
homework, and their might also be times that I have you turn in the homework into the
appropriate bin.
Returning homework: Homework will be returned, if turned into the bin for me to check. That
way you can use the homework to complete additional practice problems.

Distributing materials: A student who is assigned to the paper passer job will pass out
handouts for each table. One person from the table will then give each person in a group a
paper. If there is a grade on a paper, I will pass back those papers.
Indicating what to do when assignments are completed: Before I let the students go to
complete a certain activity or assignment, I will let the students know what to do when the
assignments are completed.
Interactive Routines: To make sure my students know when it is appropriate to talk and how
loud, during the first week of school I will introduce the level of noises that is expected for each
type of routine. The following are the levels of noise (Weinstein & Novodvorsky, 2015):
Level 0: No noise/talking
Level 1: Whispering
Level 2: Inside voice
Level 3: Presentation voice
Level 4: Outside voice
I will display these levels at the front of the board, and hang the card that is expected for that
activity.
When the whole- class lessons are in progress: Students are expected to raise their hands
to be called on rather than simply blurting out. This is a great way for me to control not the same
students are dominating the conversation, and I can also pick on students who do not have their
hands-raised. I will use either popsicle sticks and or classroom DOJO to call on students
randomly. This will help students to stay on task and pay attention to what we are doing
because they could be asked a question at any time(Weinstein & Novodvorsky, 2015).
-If I want to change it up and want my students to respond chorally rather than
individually, I will put my hand up and gesture give it to me signal with my hand.
When the teacher is working with a small group: Depending what the other students are
working on either individually or with a group, will depend on what level of noise is to be
expected. Either level 0, 1, or 2 depending on the situation. I will let the students know what
level to be at before I help the group.
When the teacher needs the classs attention: I will do at least these 3 things and teach,
explain, model, and practice what to do at the beginning of the year.
Ring the bell 3 times and when students hear this they are to stop talking and put
thing finger on their nose, NOT UP THEIR NOSE :)
If you can hear me clap once ( or twice, etc.)
Hush fell over the crowd and the students will stop what they are doing and reply
HUSHHHHHHHH! I will let the students know I do not what any added letters after we
say HUSHHH.
When the students need the teachers attention: A couple things will be explained and
modeled to the students. Depending on the activity, I might give the students or group, red,
yellow, and green cards to show how they are doing on the activity. Red: if they are so stuck and
have no idea what to do. Yellow, they are trying but need a little extra support and or have a
question. Green, that you are good to go and understand what we are doing. I will also have the
students raise their hand if they are working individually on an assignment.

-If I need to check the groups on a task we are completing I will give them a cup to put
on their desk. If the cup is facing up it means they are still working. If the cup is facing down it
means they need to be checked. This will help students to not get out of their seats to come tell
me they are ready. It is a quick way to check what group I need to go to next.
During independent assignments: Students will be expected to be at a LEVEL 0. If they have
a question they may raise their hand and I will come help.
Before the bell rings: Students are expected to use their inside voices outside in the hall;
however, if they step foot in my class before the bell rings they are expected to start copying
down the homework, and then completing the warm-up. Students should be at a LEVEL 0.
During transitions: Students are allowed to be at a level 1. Once they hear the teacher's voice
and she is talking they are to go back to a level 0.
During loudspeaker announcements: Whatever we are doing we are expected to stop and
be at a LEVEL 0 to listen to the announcements.
During cooperative learning activities: Students will be expected to between a level 1 and 2
voice. I will launch a site called Bouncy Balls to help students to visually monitor their voice
levels (Edutopia, 2016).
During peer conferencing: Students are expected to be between a level 0, 1, and 2 depending
on the situation. If students are working collaboratively with a group they are expected to
between a level 1 and 2. If students are working independently on a task they are at level 0.
During a time a visitor is speaking with the teacher: Students are expected to be at a level
1, whispering.
