Establishing Classroom Routines and Procedures
11. Investing time in teaching discipline and procedures will be repaid multifold in the
effective use of class time.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you are establishing rules:
Rules are expectations of appropriate behavior. You can state your
expectations as rules
Rules immediately create a work-oriented atmosphere
Rules create a strong expectation about the things that are important to
you.
Include consequences – What the student chooses to accept if a rule is
broken.
Include rewards – What the student receives for appropriate behavior
Establishing a Discipline Plan
12. Parents also need to follow procedures for the school and your class:
You must be a model and follow the school’s procedures
How can you expect students and parents to follow procedures
if you don’t follow them? Allowing a parent to drop off a student
tardy without a tardy pass because you don’t want to ask them
to walk to the office and back will hurt you in the long run. That
parent will not understand when you call and explain that their
child does not follow procedures because they saw that you
didn’t follow them either.
Communicate classroom and school procedures to parents the first
week of school and expect parents to follow them.

done that worked and things that didn’t work.
What are the areas are the strongest? Weakest?
How can you help another colleague in the area where you are
strongest?

classroom management skills this year?
