Classroom+Procedures

Procedures: For a Class Tara Mullinax

Beginning of the class:
 * 1) The students need to walk in the room quietly.
 * 2) They need to hang their book bags and coats on the specified coat rack, then take out their agenda and place in the specified area.
 * 3) Once in the room they need to make their lunch order for that day and then sit down and work on their morning work.
 * 4) I will say, “1,2,3 look at me” or have a little noisemaker to get the students attention.
 * 5) If a student is tardy the will need to quickly walk in the room hang up their book bag, get out their agenda, and go sit at their desk.

Managing the classroom:
 * 1) Students will leave their desk neat and clean with the chair pushed under the desk.
 * 2) If students need to leave the room they will need permission from me and take a hall pass.
 * 3) When students need help they will need to raise their hand and wait patiently.
 * 4) Students will raise their hand to talk while I am teaching
 * 5) Instructional materials will be passed out to the students either by myself and/or other student helpers.
 * 6) Pencils will be in a divided container one side for the sharpened ones and the other for the one’s that need to be sharpened. If a student needs a sharp pencil they will go and get a sharp one and leave their dull one in the bad side. Then later that day I will sharpen them.
 * 7) Groups will be set up for the students and it will be displayed in the room so if a student gets confused they can look at their name and see which center they need to be at. I will have a timer so when it goes off they will know to rotate to a different station.
 * 8) When the students are at their desk working there shouldn’t be much noise at all. During instruction the students should be listening and not talking at all. If I ask questions or for their input, the student should talk in an inside voice. Once outside student will know it is ok to be as loud as they want.

Paper Work:
 * 1) I will have a shelf that is divided and labeled by the days of they week and once the students are finished with their work they will turn it into that location.
 * 2) If a student is absence and they have completed their make-up work, they will need to bring it to me and I will put a note on it and put the work on my desk to grade at the end of the day.
 * 3) I will have student helpers of the week and they will help me distribute hand-outs and completed papers to the class.
 * 4) If a student has missed a quiz or test then we will have to make it up either after lunch or if they finish a project early they will be allowed to go in a quiet corner and take the test.
 * 5) For the younger grades K-2nd grade late work will be noted on the paper and 1 to 2 points taken off. For the older grades 3-5th they will be told that each day the work is late 5 points will be taken off.

Dismissal from class or school:
 * 1) Students will be dismissed in an orderly manner. They will be calm and quiet while walking down and through the halls. The students will need to line up by numbers, each student will be assigned a number at the beginning of the year. This makes lining up easier and quicker than A, B, C order.
 * 2) The student’s dismissal will be determined by the end of class, lunch, or by the end of the day. Students will have to get packed up and ready to leave an about 5 minutes earlier than scheduled.
 * 3) For emergency drills I would have explained each one and what we do to the students prior to the drill. At that time the students will need to be calm and line up quickly and be accounted for before we leave. We will have practiced this at the beginning of school so we will be ready to go quickly.
 * 4) If a student is staying in class after school, they will have to have parent permission and a ride home before they are allowed to stay. If the student has the correct documentation, the student will have: work, make-up work, or something to keep them focused during the after school time.

Course work:
 * 1) Students will know ahead of time when a project or assignments are due. Also if I send any work home with the students I will attach a note stating when the work needs to be turned in so the parents are able to see the due date too.
 * 2) Students will know that each assignment will be graded and or checked for completion and accuracy.

Teachers must..
 * 1) Review procedures with students.
 * 2) Practice procedures with the class.
 * 3) Post the procedures on the bulletin board or wall where they are visible.
 * 4) Re-teach and rehearse procedures regularly until they become habits.
