Activity One: Observing Classroom Routines and Procedures

Though there are many routines and procedures all over the school such as
returning from assembly or walking in the hallways, this task focuses on what
happens inside of your classroom only.
During the first week of your teaching practice observe your MST and her/his
classroom. Make a note of five (5) routines that you see her/him use every day
inside of the classroom. Fill in the table below to describe EACH routine; when
and where it is used; and what is the aim of the routine or the student behavior
that it hopes to achieve.
