Procedures

3 steps to a safe, orderly, and productive classroom

3 Steps to Teaching Procedures

1.Teach

2.Rehearse

3.Reinforce

Teach

Explain and model the procedure for the class

Rehearse

Students practice the procedure, observe them in action.

Learning a procedure is similar to learning a skill, and some students need a great deal of practice to be able to use a skill accurately and automatically.

If students don't get it.. Teach it again.

Reinforce

Reteach, rehearse, practice, and reinforce the procedure until it becomes a habit-- a routine.

Be specific when affirming the action or deed, rather than by dispensing a generic word of affirmation.

The Facets of Practice

Perfect Practice Makes Perfect.

Sloppy Practice Makes Slop.

And, No Practice Makes Nothing.

If Students Don't Follow Procedures

There are two choices:

1. Change the steps in the procedure and reteach.
2. Change the procedure to a rule.

• consequence

• Be calm and patient
• Remind the student that a procedure is not a rule. (no consequence or punishment if not followed)
