 My Big Ideas (Learning Essentials)
Routines
These are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and learning. Routines
do not just make your life easier; they save valuable classroom time. What’s more important is
efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more. When routines and
procedures are carefully taught, modeled and established in the classroom, children know what is
expected of them and how to do certain things on their own. Having these predictable patterns in
place allows teachers to spend more time in meaningful instruction.
