1. Entering Classroom
Beginning the first day of the school year, the teacher will advise the student to leave all
their belonging at their desks and come to the large group meeting area in the classroom.
The teacher will explain that for the day to start quickly and effectively that the students
and teacher need to put away their extra materials and bring their essential materials to
their desks. The teacher will then display a visual of each individual item that belongs in
the student cubbies/lockers. The teacher will say each item and the image flashes up on
the SmartBoard screen. The teacher will then show a picture of the locker/cubby with all
the materials inside of it and how it looks. The teacher will point to each item in the
cubby/locker and say exactly how the items should be in the lockers.
Next, the teacher will show images of the items the students are to bring to their desks or
other assigned locations in the classroom. Again, she will show each individual item and
say the name of each. Then, the teacher will show an image of a student at his desk with
all the needed materials. The picture could come from a previous year, the teacher’s
child, the teacher herself, or another person within the school community.
Since this is to happen the first day of school, the teacher will refrain from partner
summaries until the students know each other better. Instead, the teacher will bring out
the entering the classroom procedure chart with the steps in order. The chart will have
images attached to the short phrases of the expected behaviors. The teacher and students
will read the procedures aloud.
Next, the teacher will demonstrate the procedure. She will then ask the students to give
her feedback on what she did well and what she needs to improve on. The teacher could
even mess up one of the steps to ensure that the students are paying attention and know
the procedure steps.
Again, the students and teacher will read the procedure aloud. Next, the teacher will
explain that half of the class will practice the procedure now while the other half watches
for feedback. The roles will then switch.
Once both halves of the class practices, the teacher will hang the procedure chart in the
designated classroom spot, drawing students’ attention to the chart for their reference and
reminder.
Entering the Classroom:
2. Dismissing Class
This procedure teaching will occur at the end of the day right before clean up should
occur.
The teacher will make procedure routine explicit just like the beginning of the day
routine, showing the pictures and talking through each step.
The teacher will model the routine.
A small group of students will model the procedure as the remainder of the class observes
and offers feedback.
The whole group will practice the procedure.
One addition to this routine will include the teacher pointing to the area of the chart that
needs work before the students can leave. If the teacher sees that one aspect needs to be
done before dismissal, she will point to the part that needs to be fixed. The students will
fix the part of the procedure and then again wait for the teacher’s verbal dismissal.
4. Bathroom Breaks
Bathroom breaks will be provided by the teacher during morning snack, after lunch
recess, and after afternoon recess.
At other times, the students will raise their hand with the sign language indicator of an
“R” in ASL. The student will remain at their seat to avoid interrupting class. The teacher
response will be a yes or no in ASL.
The teacher will model how to form the “R.” Then student will then try together. Then
one by one the students will try the “R” and get an individual response from the teacher.
The teacher will then remind the students that only one student may go at a time.
6. Turning in Assignments
This procedure will be introduced during the time the students fill out their “About Me”
pages for the teacher.
As the students are finishing their questionnaires, the teacher will then explain that any
work done in class will be collected by one person in the group and will be walked over
to the homework turn in bins by the teacher designated group member.
The teacher will point out the blue star in the corner of one student’s desk in each desk
pod. The student with the blue star is the homework collector. This person will collect the
papers and walk over the homework bin to turn in the pod’s assignments.
The students will complete this procedure with their “About Me” sheets. After the
collecting students return to their seats, the teacher will then explain that the stars can be
removed from desks and the pods will rotate who the collector is each week.
The students will have more opportunities to practice throughout the day.
9. Raising Hands
The teacher will explain that it is hard sometimes for a teacher to know what a student is
thinking and wants to say when she raises her hand. She will demonstrate this by having
a students come to the front of the group. The teacher will have the students think of a
comment or a question related to pizza (or a common experience or object). The teacher
will ask the students to raise their hands once they have a response. The teacher will ask
the student is she can determine which student has a question and which student has a
comment. The students should answer no because just their hands are up.
Then the teacher will have the student put their hands down. Now the teacher will show
all the students how to make an “I” in ASL. She will have all the students try this.
She will explain that this stands for I have a question. She will explain that it is easier for
a teacher to teach when she know whether a students has an answer or a question.
Again, she will have another student come up to be the “teacher.” She will ask the
students to think of a comment or question related to pizza. This time the students who
have a question will hold up an “I” and the students with a comment will just raise their
hands.
The teacher will then ask the student to call on a couple students with questions and a
couple students with comments.
