Planning for Procedures

10:08 PM | Posted by Fran Richardson |

At my school, we are required to plan lessons to teach students procedures at the beginning of the year. I adapted this plan from Angela Powell ( of mspowell.com) and her book, The Cornerstone. I recommend her book and website to anyone setting up a classroom and most especially for new teachers.

Fran Richardson said...: Some other ideas I thought of after this posting:

We team teach so we use the traveling clipboard that follows each homeroom and to activity so that we can keep track of behavior overall. It's easy to make up a class sheet to keep tally marks. This works well in all grades and gives a document for conferences if needed.

I've used bracelets ( usually red, yellow, and green)for behavior in the cafeteria or hallway. The goal is for the class not to lose all three bracelets and to earn game time or recess ( The teacher just moves the bracelet from one wrist to the other as the visual). This works well for younger grades, too.

Finally, in the upper grades- the timer does wonders. I set it for 15 minutes ( our recess), and if it's noisy I turn it on, and the class owes me that time. It works very well for positive peer pressure. Classes seldom lose more than a minute or two. It helps with transitions that sometimes waste time.
