How Productive Routines Allow Students Develop Their Own Sense Of Organization And Structure

With differentiation in mind, I came up with a daily schedule of learning and instruction time for my students. Entry 4 artifact 3 is a copy of my daily schedule and lesson plan format for instructing my students. I begin my day of learning using whole group instruction with a whole group instruction reviewing the calendar, music/movement activity, and read aloud. During these activities, I ask the students question based upon their ability and grade level. The students are really engaged during our introduction. They get to move and meditate to reflect on their day.

In Chapter 1 of The First Days of School, Wong discusses that a teacher’s success during the school year is determined by the first few days of school. In this chapter, the author speaks about structuring your classroom to have a successful school year. This chapter informs us that the most effective teachers spend time organizing and structuring their classroom in order to keep the students in control of their future actions. Wong states, “ The most important thing to establish in the first week of school is consistency.” I believe that this statement is correct because students like a routine.

The classroom is well organized and orderly. Students have a routine that is followed each morning. John’s morning activities are without disruption, the morning routine works.

In comparing a child’s mind to an adult’s mind, a child has a much more difficult time comprehending and understanding multiple new topics in a day than an adult does. An adult’s brain is developed enough to understand and remember multiple topics in a day, but doesn’t have to, whereas a student has to remember many topics, in a wide range of subject areas, but is not mentally developed well enough to do so. This causes a decrease in success and in class participation, because the student may not remember the material. This could easily be fixed by reformatting the school day. The day would be divided into two parts, titled learn, and review. The first part of the day would include teachers introducing new topics, or testing on what was previously taught. The latter part of the day would involve each teacher reviewing what was taught earlier that day, or going over the results of a test taken earlier that day. With this format, students would have half of their classes each day, alternating every other day. Each class would still have the same amount of time, but would be twice, every other day. This would help with memory, and thorough comprehension of the information

In a diverse classroom each student will be attended based on their individual need and teachers will meet each child at their level. Student will be treated equally regardless of their cultural background or socioeconomic status. By providing a good classroom management system, we will have a respectful and inclusive class culture. Establishing good classroom routines is essential to creating a positive environment for students to focus on learning. The follow sections cover those routine in our class

How are the routines and the way they were taught to students consistent with WHO the students are? (Consider the demographics, assets, and developmental stages of the students.)

My classroom philosophy begins with what type of teacher I will be in my classroom. To have successful classroom management, one must be an effective teacher. Some qualities that make an effective teacher include maintaining high expectations, being consistent, and caring. As a teacher, it is important to have high expectations for your students academically, but also behaviorally. In my classroom, I will uphold the traits and characteristics that I want to see in my students, through my own actions and words. Another quality that I will instill in my classroom and myself is consistency. In my classroom, I will be consistent in my classroom management. I will not favor a student and let them get away with something, and I will not be overly harsh on a student who is having a bad day or week. One of the most important qualities in an effective teacher is their ability to care for their students. In order to have successful classroom management, I must build relationships with my students. The more that my students know that I care for them and want to help them,

A routine benefits children in two ways, intellectually and emotionally. A child having a routine benefits them intellectually because, it will teach them how to be organised as they have set times that things happen. The table above shows the tipical day for a roksely student that is in year 1. When this children move on to go to secondary school they are going to all have timetables. They will not forging to this because they have started to imbed this in their everyday day life for a young age. However if they didn’t they would have difficulties with going to the right place in time, which will mean they are not punctual.

To help the ADD children in your class adapt to having a regular schedule, it makes it easier on you and them to have a daily task list. Having a list taped to the student?s desk creates a routine and ultimately helps the child focus on the work to be done. Eventually, the schedule will become a habit and that is the goal you are aiming for. Nonetheless, they may have a regular agenda, but that does not mean you will have their full attention at all times.

In addition to using routines and a clear system of rewards, here are some other tips to share with teachers for classroom success:

Consistency isn’t just important for procedures it’s also important in the form as a teacher when it comes to holding our ground, staying focused and on topic, enforcing and following through with consequences, encouraging students, and many more. Consistency, I

One must look at classroom management as a plan for what procedures students will follow throughout the day. Teachers must understand their role in making sure students have a successful experience each day. Wong H. & Wong R., state “Effective teachers teach how to responsibly follow procedures” (2009, p. 165). To have a smooth-running classroom with minimal behaviors, students must be taught classroom procedures from the very first day. In my classroom we have procedures for many things we do each day. Some of these are arrival of children, snack time, lining up and walking down the hallway, and cleaning up centers. I have been teaching these procedures for many years with much success.

I have always been a strong believer in schedules and letting the children know their schedule, and trying to avoid changing it as much as possible, making sure children are given time warnings and are aware that they are getting close to one activity ending and another one begining. As for the interpersonal enviroment, I would like to make it so everyone gets along. That the coworkers and families feel they are valued and that what they say is appreciated and taken into account. I want the entiretly of my enviroment to be a sfae space, allowing everyone to be free to say whats on their mind, for the children to feel safe enought to be able to be themselves and free safe. and I want everyone who comes into my classroom to feel respect from me, these parents are entrusting their child to me and I want them to know this is a safe space for them and their child.

A teacher should teach, demonstrate, establish, and enforce classroom procedures and routines at the start of the year to manage the classroom behaviors. Rules and procedures support teaching and learning and provide students with clear expectations and well-defined norms. Teachers can create a respectful, supportive learning environment when they have an understanding of the diverse learning in the

I am going to maximize the student’s learning in my classroom by having everything organized. I would make my lesson plans ahead of time so that I am not stressed. If the teacher is less stressed, than the children would be relaxed. I personally believe that it will be an easier way, if you have all your lessons planned out ahead of time.
