Classroom routines establish clear expectations and procedures that create a conducive learning environment. Routines should be implemented early in the school year, practiced with students, and enforced consistently with consequences to avoid disruptions and maximize instructional time. Examples include routines for activities like storing belongings, using the restroom, taking attendance, handing in assignments, classroom discussions, and transitions between lessons and subjects. Well-established routines are a hallmark of expert teachers.
