Establishing classroom routines and procedures is necessary for answering that
your classroom runs smoothly.
By: Dense Young
Students need to know what is expected of them in your classroom to ensure
that you have smooth transition throughout the day, think carefully about the
routines for which you must plan. Clarify them in your mind. It may be helpful to
make a list of transitional times. Throughout the day (see the list below to help
you get started) other teachers of your mentor can serve as resources by sharing
their own classroom procedures and routines. Before establishing specific
procedures or routines it is necessary to have a discussion with students about
their importance. During the discussion, you should be able to talk about the
rationale behind various routines. When possible this process can nurture a
sense of ownership and community in your classroom.
In establishing classroom routines it is important to:

 Ensure that students understand the reason for the routine.

 Clarify the procedure through modeling.
 Allow students opportunities to practice the routine through rehearsal.
 Try not to overwhelm students by teaching too many routines at once.
The process of establishing routines and procedures may take several
days.
 Remember that it will probably be necessary to revisit this process as
you see the need of your students.
The following list my help you get started in thinking about time during the day
which you may want to establish procedures and routines:

 Beginning the day

 Entering and exiting the classroom
 Labeling papers
 Collection and distribution of papers
 Signaling for quiet and attention
 Appropriate times for around the room
 Emerging drills and procedures
 Going to restrooms
 Moving through the school
 Late arrival

Grading homework policies (including make-up work)

 Asking questions
 Finishing an assignment early
 Dismissal
My Analysis
Establishing classroom routines is important because:
 It enables to establish harmonious rapport between the student and teacher.
 It enables the learners to establish a habit every time he/she arrives at the
school.
 It enables the learners to predict what will happen to the next day he/she will
be able to prepare for it.
 It establishes a feeling of responsibility to the students
 It enables the teachers to sustain a good classroom management.
