How it works

The lines of this classroom procedures checklist follow an elementary day from the door in the morning to dismissal. A class that brings lunch from home or has no morning work loses a line; a class pet, a reading corner or tablets add one.

Three boxes, three different days

Tick Taught on the day you explain a procedure and show it. Tick Practiced once the class has done it without you and you have corrected what went wrong. Reviewed is for later: after a long weekend, a break, or the week a procedure starts to slip. A row with an empty box still needs time.

Write the steps down before you teach them

A procedure holds when every student can say its steps. One planning sheet asks what a procedure looks like and sounds like when it goes well; the other is a card of numbered steps to post where the procedure happens, by the sharpener or the door.

A few a day is enough. The day-by-day sheet spreads a first week from Monday to Friday.
A substitute needs the same procedures in writing, in the folder with the substitute lesson plan.

Questions and answers

What are classroom procedures?

On this page, the set ways a class does everyday things: coming in, turning in work, lining up, asking for help, packing up. A rule says how to behave; a procedure says how a thing is done.

What classroom procedures should I teach first?

The ones the first hour needs: entering the room, the quiet signal, lining up and using the bathroom. Dismissal has to be taught before the first afternoon ends. The rest can wait for the days that follow.

Is there a procedures checklist for middle school or high school?

Yes. It lists what changes when classes move by period: arriving late, phones, late work, work after an absence, hall passes, and leaving when the teacher dismisses and not at the bell.
