Types of Classroom Routines Entry and Exit Routines For younger students, explicitly explain how you want them to line up to enter and exit the room. Students of all ages will need to know what to do once they enter the classroom, such as what equipment to get or put away, what books to grab, what materials to take out and where to sit — if your classroom has assigned seats. Implementing entry and exit routines helps the class start sooner. Transition Routines Students must exit the classroom for various reasons, like lunch, a break or the end of a class period. Things will go more smoothly when there is a set routine for transitions, and students will act according to your expectations. It can also help to let the students know a minute or so before the transition so they can get right into it.
Types of Classroom Routines Student Attention It can be challenging to get students to pay attention for the class duration. Establishing a routine for gaining student attention can prevent classroom disruptions. For instance, you could catch the eye of the student or students who aren't paying attention and say a keyword like "eyes on me." For younger students, you could clap your hands or perform a hand gesture. Teacher Attention Your students need to know what to do to get your attention during class if they have any questions or problems arise. You can have them raise their hand or use another signal. Silent methods for gaining your attention will prevent distractions.
Types of Classroom Routines Classroom Roles and Responsibilities You can foster a sense of responsibility in students by assigning them different classroom jobs and responsibilities. For instance, one student can be in charge of handing out books at the beginning of class. Another might always be the leader of a line for exit routines.
