The first week of school is behind us. What does this mean in your classroom? Are students aware of the policies, procedures, and expectations? Would your students know how to answer these questions?
- How is homework collected?
- How do I find out what I missed when I'm absent?
- Am I allowed to chew gum?
- What should I do if I need extra help?
Don't assume students will know what to do. According to Harry Wong in The First Days of School, "A well-managed classroom is a task-oriented and predictable environment...Both teacher and students know what to do and what is supposed to happen in the classroom."
Is your classroom a task-oriented and predictable environment? Please post your best practices for establishing classroom routines with colleagues....
Have a great week!
