 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.

MY TASK (ACTIVITIES)
A. What routines do I need to establish in order to make a better
classroom?

CLASSROOM ROUTINES AND PROCEDURES

Establishing clear classroom routines and procedures is necessary for
ensuring that your classroom runs smoothly.
BY DENISE YOUNG
Students need to know what is expected of them in your classroom. To
ensure that you have smooth transitions throughout the day, think carefully
about the routines for which you must plan. Clarify them in your mind. It may
be helpful to make a list of transitional times throughout the day (see the list
below to help you get started!). Other teachers or your mentor can serve as
resources by sharing their own classroom procedures and routines.

Before establishing specific procedures or routines, it is necessary to have a

discussion with students about their importance. During this discussion, you
should be able to talk about the rationale behind various routines. When
possible, invite students to create procedures with you. This process can
nurture a sense of ownership and community in your classroom.

In establishing procedures or routines, it is important to:

 Ensure that students understand the reason for the routine.

 Clarify the procedure through modeling.
 Allow students opportunities to practice the routine through rehearsal.
 Try not to overwhelm students by teaching too many routines at once.
The process of establishing routines and procedures may take several
days.
 Remember that it will probably be necessary to revisit this process as
you see the need.

The following list may help you get started in thinking about times during the
day for which you may want to establish procedures and routines:

 Beginning the day

 Entering and exiting the classroom
 Labeling papers
 Collection and distribution of papers
 Signaling for quiet and attention
 Appropriate times for moving around the room
 Emergency drills and procedures
 Going to the restroom
 Moving throughout the school
 Late arrival

day and he will able to prepare for it.
