Key Takeaways:
Classroom procedures and systems ARE necessary in a high school classroom, despite the fact that
students are older.
High school students need to be taught procedures in the same way that younger students do.
Teaching your students procedures on the front-end will make your entire year run more smoothly as
students will be familiar with both daily and special-circumstance procedures and be ready to utilize them
as need arises.
Students need to be taught these procedures in a deliberate and structured fashion so that they can carry
them out when it is time to use them.
1. Students have archetypes about the way classrooms should run and will instinctively know what to do.
2. Students are too old or mature to have structured procedures imposed upon them.
3. Teaching students procedures will make me appear to be Type A or rigid and my students will not like
me.
