The document discusses the importance of routines in the classroom for both teachers and students. It states that routines facilitate teaching and learning, save classroom time, and make it easier for students to learn and achieve. It then provides several examples of routines and feedback mechanisms that teachers can implement, such as class monitors, setting rules, seating arrangements tailored to student needs, grouping students by ability, and different desk arrangements. The desk arrangements discussed include stadium seating, modified U shape, groups, and combination layouts.

classroom life. They facilitate teaching and
learning…. Routines don’t just make your life
easier, they save valuable classroom time.
And what’s most important, efficient routines
make it easier for students to learn and
achieve more."
