Non-Instructional Routines

When the bell rings, the students will enter the classroom and take out their materials.  The students will ask classmates and/or the teacher for supplies, in the event that they leave them at home.  The students will not leave the classroom until the teacher dismisses them.  Prior to going to lunch, the students have to take out paper and pencil so that when they arrive, they can get started immediately.  The students then line up in an orderly fashion and the males and females are given the opportunity to stop at the restroom before lunch.

Gum, candy, toy and other physical distractions are not permitted.

The students will not be permitted to use the restroom during the first fifteen minutes of class or the latter fifteen minutes of class.  This is known as the 15-15 rule.  In the event of an emergency, the students will be permitted to use the restroom.

During school-wide assemblies, the students will line up in a straight line in the hallway.  The students will then be directed to the gymnasium and will we directed to a section of the bleachers to be seated.  The students will sit quietly and attentively throughout the assembly and will not cause or entertain any disruptions.

Students are expected to walk expeditiously and quietly throughout the halls.  The students are given three minutes to change classes.  The students are to line up beside the door of their classroom that they are to enter.  Students considered to be tardy will be given a mark on the PBIS log.  The PBIS Log is a log in which the students receive a mark for several minor behavior infractions.  After 3 consecutive marks in the same are, the students receive a phone call and after five, the students are referred to an administrator.

Transition/Instructional Time

Picture
Aside from the short-range lesson plan, I write out an agenda that stays at my side.  This agenda serves as my detailed outline so that I do not lose instructional time and so that the different components of the lesson transition smoothly.

Managing Equipment and Materials

All materials and equipment to be used during the lesson are set up prior to the lesson.  When it is time for the students to use other materials, the teacher directs them to find the material in the designated area of the class.  The material is usually set up on a long table so that students may quickly find what they need and reuturn to their seats to complete their given task.  All equipment is checked prior to the lesson so that if there are any malfunctions, the teacher can find an alternative to aid in the execution of the lesson.
