Establishing Classroom Routines and Procedures

Desired Learning Outcomes

 Identify classroom structure / routines
 Discuss the importance of good classroom structure / routines in class
 Design effective classroom management routines

behavior

Essential Questions
 What is the importance of having an organized and systematic classroom structure
and routines?
 As a teaching intern, what classroom routines shall you establish to ensure a
positive and non-violent discipline way of managing learner’s behavior?

Understandings
 A classroom routine is simply a well-rehearsed response to a teacher’s directive. It
is one of the teacher’s primary labor – saving devices.
 One way to become an effective teacher is to provide a structure in the classroom. A
very structured learning environment provides many benefits for the teacher and
the learners. As structured classroom translates to positive safe and secure
classroom. Learners enjoy learning in a very safe, friendly, and non-threatening
environment.
TIPS FOR PROVIDING STRUCTURE IN THE CLASSROOM (www.thoughtco.com)
1. Rules and expectations must be set on the first day.
2. Set high expectations. Explain its importance.
3. Hold students accountable for their actions in all areas of life.
4. Keep your rules simple.
5. Be prepared to adjust. It is essential to understand that every class and every learner is
unique.
6. Be the primary model for your students when it comes to classroom structure.

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

•Grading and homework policies (including make-up work)

• Asking questions
• Finishing an assignment early
• Dismissal
 My Analysis
Establishing classroom routines is important because:
It enables the teachers to sustain a good classroom management

It enables the learners to predict what will happen to the next day and he will able to prepare for
it.

It enables the learner to establish a habit every time he arrives at the school.

It establishes harmonic rapport between the student and teachers.

It establishes a feeling of responsibility to the students.

My Reflections / My Insights
If I already have my own class, I want to do the following:

 Arriving in the morning

Cleaning the classroom

Prayer

Bringing in the ornamental plants

Checking students’ assignment

 Taking attendance

Checking excuse letters if there is

Monitoring absenteeism

 Posting reminders

Reminding students to do their assignments for the next day

Reminding students to study their lessons

 Throughout the day

Checking the papers of daily quizzes
Recording quizzes

Roaming around to check whether my students attend their classes

  Ending the day
Cleaning the classroom

Bringing out the ornamental plants

 Other episodes that need procedure(s)

Asking questions

Checking class records

My Performance Task
PERFORMANCE TASK 1: Observe your teacher. Take down some important notes on how
he/she manages his/her class. What are his/her positive and non-violent disciplinary practices
in the management of learners’ behavior?

Observation Log
Name of Cooperating Teacher Louise Jennifer Amarado Date:
Time: Subject:

Begin Class on Time

Class begins even before the bell rings. The teacher greet students at the door, the class
period gets off to a good start. Greeting students at the door with positive verbal or non-
verbal interactions can improve student engagement and motivation. A teacher who greets
students at the door can remind them of the time when learning will begin.

Collecting Work

Collecting work, particularly homework, at the door as students enter the class

Having a specific colored folder in a designated location where students are responsible for
turning in their homework before class begins.

Ending the Class Efficiently

At the end of each lesson, the room should also be reset to its original formation, especially if
the classroom is shared with another teacher. For example, if the lesson required students to
move around and desks rearranged for group work, the room should be set up for the next
period.
PERFORMANCE TASK 2: Take some photographs of classroom structure / design that creates a
positive classroom atmosphere.
PERFORMANCE TASK 3: Design your classroom routines to ensure an effective classroom
structure.

My Classroom Routines

What is the impact of these classroom routines to students’ learning?

The impact of these classroom routines to students’ learning is that These routines help
maintain order and also help the kids stay calm. If there is a set activity for every part of
the day, you will be able to focus more on your teaching and less on giving instructions
and generally controlling the class. This is just one of many reason routines are important
for teachers.
Routines are an important part of any child's life because they help children develop a
sense of stability and order as well as give children the information and experiences
necessary to complete tasks with increasing independence
 My Learning Artifacts
Conduct an interview among students. Ask them why positive and non-violent discipline
is effective in the management of learner behavior.

There are no bad kids, just bad behavior: this is the idea
behind positive discipline. Positive discipline is a discipline
model that focuses on positive aspects of behavior. ... Positive
discipline teaches children to become responsible and
respectful members of their communities.

Name of Student: Mark Anthony O. Cabillan

Children need limits: they’re growing and learning about the

world and they need to learn what is acceptable behavior at
home, at school, and in their community. But boundaries also
make children feel secure. If parents let children do whatever
they want, children don’t feel adequately protected or loved; they
have low self-control, get frustrated easily, and have difficulty
with responsibility. They need a safe space to learn and make
mistakes and learn about this world.

Name of Student: Elisha Mae S. Lleve

Research has shown that children are born with the need
to connect with others, and children that feel a connection with
their family, school, and community are less likely to
misbehave. And to be successful members of their community,
children need to learn appropriate social and life skills.
Positive discipline helps teach these skills.
