Classroom Procedures
• What is a procedure?
• What are some examples of
procedures you can think of?
• Why are procedures important?
Procedure # 1: Entering the
classroom
• When you enter the classroom, you are entering a
“learning zone”
• Enter quickly and quietly without disturbing
others
• Go directly to your seat or the area you are
working in
• This applies to the start of class as well as when
you return after leaving the room
Procedure # 2: Start of class
• Take out your materials and any homework due
• Sharpen pencils at this time, if necessary
• Look at the board for the day’s Bellwork
assignment
• Get to work immediately on the Bellwork
Procedure # 3: Bellwork (Travail de
commencement)
• Bellwork assignments will be posted in the same area each
day
• As soon as you’ve taken out your materials get to work on
the Bellwork immediately
• You will have 10 minutes from the start of class to finish
the Bellwork. If you finish early, look ahead on the daily
schedule and prepare for the day’s lesson
• Bellwork assignments will usually consist writing the date
and weather in your cahier, along with a “Question of the
day” for you to write with your answer (this procedure will
be practiced later)
• The type of Bellwork assignment may change from time to
time, depending on the lesson
Procedure # 4: Leaving the class
If you must leave the room for any reason (washroom, drink,
called out by the office, etc), the following procedures
apply:
• Raise your hand to ask permission (permission for the
washroom will not be given until after 10 min. after the
start of class, or 10 min. before the end of class)
• Ask only if it is urgent, and wait until an appropriate time
(i.e. not when the teacher is giving instructions or
information)
• If given permission, go to the Classroom Sign Out sheet and
write your name, the reason and the time you are leaving
• Upon your return, enter without disturbing the class and
write in the time on the sign out sheet
Procedure # 5: Handing in Work
• When instructed to hand in your work, look to make
sure it is properly labelled (procedures for heading
papers will be given at a later time)
• Place your paper in the centre of the tables at your
group
• One person will collect all papers and bring them up to
me. Everyone else remains seated.
• The Materials Collector will be chosen at a later time,
along with the other classroom jobs.
Procedure # 6: End of Class
• Class is dismissed by the TEACHER, not by the bell
• When instructed, pack up your materials and make sure your
area is clean. Check on, under and around your desk and
chair
• Pick up any garbage and throw it in the trash bin
• When ready, the teacher will dismiss you with an “À
demain!” or “Bonne journée!”
• If leaving for recess, leave the same way you enter: quickly,
quietly and respectfully
