Classroom routines

It is important to have a good routine even in our daily lives. It makes things more organised as well as enables us to complete tasks in an orderly manner.

Why do we need routines?

• Increase productivity by completing recurring tasks.

• Without routines, we can become disorganised, poor momentum and classroom discipline starts to occur due to too much time gaps.

Establish routines

• Be explicit and clearly state the important details of your routines

• Model and repeat your routines to ensure your pupils understood them clearly.

Set ground rules

• One voice (One person to share each time)

• No going toilet during lesson

• 5-min break when teacher is able to complete teaching

• Reward chart for good behaviour. (Weekly, monthly or termly)

 

Routine of discipline

• Avoid shouting bu reason with pupils

(Overuse of shouting would result it to be ineffective when you scold them for more serious offences)

• Investigate a conflict/offence before jumping into conclusion

(Fairness to gain trust)

• Address issue or behaviour and not the pupil

(State consequence of inattentiveness rather than calling pupil ‘talkative’ or ‘noisy’)

• Always look calm and think fast for extreme misbehaviour

(Do not look fearful or shocked when a child turns violent.

Stay calm and deal with it accordingly)

 

Learning culture

• Routine of thinking of a question to ask during/after a lesson

• Answer question regularly even if pupils are not correct

• Do not laugh at friend’s wrong answer

• Respect everyone’s answer

Important that pupils have the right mindset that everyone can learn. The only difference is how much and how quickly a pupil can learn. The attitude of never give up should be a routine and class culture.
