Teaching Routines
by Alejandra Daza
1. Teaching Procedures and Routines
2. Making the Investment: Over the long run the investment in training pays for itself many times over.
3. A Sample Procedure: Forming students in lines when they leave the classroom is a difficult task, but the rules that are already structured must be taken into account so that they can follow them. So the teacher's function will be to have a good control of the group and to give clear instructions.
4. Communicating Your Standars to Parents
5. A Self-Contained Classroom: Some teachers have a level of help and cooperation from parents. For example, create a conversation bettween parents and students in order to interact and know how to react each one in the following:
6. Introduce yourself
7. Discuss the classroom standars that are sent to home
8. Say some positive about the child
9. Ongoing Communication with parents
10. Sending Work Home: Send regularly with a provision for parental feedback.
11. Commendations: When the student do a good job or effective process.
12. Preventative Conferences: Dealing with problems proactively when they are small can save you angry confrontation later on.
