Classroom Management Procedures

for

Mr. Mills's Class

2005-2006

Procedures are a part of life. We follow procedures for using a telephone book, boarding an airplane, approaching a traffic light, and attending a wedding. The reason we have procedures in life is so that people can function in society knowing the acceptable and efficient ways other people do things.

There are also procedures in this classroom. These procedures establish our classroom culture. Below is a list of our classroom procedures.

1. Entering the classroom

  • Quietly enter the room ready to work.
  • The first person entering the room should pass out the papers from the class period's tray if there are any in the tray.
  • Touch any equipment or supplies placed on the tables only when directed to do so.
  • Sharpen any pencils and have materials ready to begin work.
  • Copy the assignment listed on the white board into your agenda.
  • Begin Bellwork.

2. Bringing materials to class

  • Bring the following materials to class:
  • The textbook
  • Agenda
  • Journal
  • Trapper with supplies: pencils, pens, paper
  • All assignments
  • The class folder
  • A good book to read
If you must leave the classroom to get these items you will receive a tardy.

3. Late assignments

  • Assignments are late if they are not turned in when requested.
  • If your assignment is late, write LATE in big letters across the top margin and place the assignment in the correct assignment tray. There is NO guarantee that the assignment will be accepted.
  • If you forgot your assignment in your locker, you can bring it to Mr. Mills before the end of the day without being late.

4. Using a LATE pass

  • Students will receive one LATE pass per grading period. A LATE pass will excuse any late assignment as long as the assignment is submitted the next school day after the assignment was due.
  • Staple the LATE pass on the paper and return it during your class period on the next school day.

 

5. When you are tardy

  • Enter the room quietly.
  • Do not interrupt the teacher or the class.
  • Complete a red tardy slip and list the reason for your tardiness.
  • Staple your pass (if you have one) to the red tardy slip.
  • Place the red tardy slip in the blue assignment box for your class period.
  • Be seated and get to work.

6. End-of-period class dismissal.

  • The bell does not dismiss the class; the teacher dismisses the class.
  • Remain in your seat when the bell rings and do not put your work away.
  • When you are dismissed, put your work away, clean the area under and on your tables, and put your chairs in their proper places.
  • Group leaders should make sure all materials are returned to their proper places.
  • Walk orderly out of the room.

7. Listening to and responding to questions

  • Answer questions when asked.
  • Be polite to others when they answer questions.
  • Raise your hand to be selected by the teacher.
  • Wait until you are asked before you respond.

8. When you need a pencil or paper

  • Do not disturb the class or teacher
  • If a lesson is being taught or someone is talking, wait.
  • If no lesson is being taught or no one is talking, quietly walk to the place where pencils and/or paper are kept, take what you need, quickly go back to your seat, and resume your work.
  • Return pencils at the end of class.
  • Replenish the paper you borrowed when you get more.

9. Quieting down for the teacher

  • Go to the missed work folders on the bulletin board.
  • Find the folder for your class.

  • If you do not understand the assignment, use the proper procedure to ask a question when the teacher isn't teaching.
  • In large letters, write ABSENT in the top margin.
  • Return the completed assignment to the blue homework box.
  • Check Moodle or your CD-ROM (science only) for any needed paper.

11. Working cooperatively

  • The group leader is in charge, but he/she should not be bossy.

I'm sorry, I had the misconception that students went to school to learn...

I swear, there are some people who decided to become teachers so they could have someone to control. The not leaving when the bell rings and not being able to use the restroom rules always made me mad. At my high school, if you didn't leave when the bell rang, you didn't make it to your next class on time. And most teachers who have the no restroom rule are male.

I'm all for having some rules in the classroom, but this sure is a long list of 'em! 

I don't like the rule that they can't use the bathroom during class.  That rule has always been a pet peeve of mine.  It seems almost all teachers at the middle school and high school levels have this rule, and it always makes me wonder exactly when the kids are supposed to relieve themselves.  When I questioned my kids' teachers about this rule, they always told me "they can use the restroom during lunch".  Um ok, but what if they really have to go before lunchtime rolls around?  I was told there are no exceptions to the rule.  I asked what if a girl starts her period during class.......again, no exceptions to the rule. A few teachers told me "they can use the bathroom in between classes, they have four minutes to get to their next class".  It sounds like a lot of time, but it isn't enough time to use the bathroom and get to class before a tardy bell rings, and at the schools here, they lock the classroom doors at the tardy bell....they call this procedure a Hall Sweep......if kids are not in class before the door is locked, they have to go the office, sit there for the duration of class, then stay after school for another hour for detention.   

Well, I told both of my girls they are old enough to know when they really have to use the bathroom.......if they ask a teacher for permission to go to the restroom and the teacher says no, I want them to go ahead and go anyway......I'll deal with whatever repercussion/punishment comes from it.

While I understand some kids will abuse bathroom privileges, the majority of the kids don't, and kids know when they can wait and when they can't.  I really hate the "no bathroom during class" rule!!!  furious

Exactly Ghost! If ya gotta go, ya gotta go! If someone abuses the bathroom privileges, you talk to that person, but don't punish everyone else's full bladders because of it.

anyone remember the anal retentive chef?

redir?src=image&clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usaplaza.com%2FCity_Morgue_Gift_Shop%2F_files%2Fanalretentivechef.jpg&moduleId=image_details.jsp.M&clickedItemDescription=Image Details

this is the anal retentive teacher!

About a decade ago I was a "forensics adjudicator"- a forensics (sic?) judge. Many of the other judges were english teachers from the different high-schools. If you thought they were weird as a student, omg you should see them in the teachers lounge. A different breed altogether...teachers....

The bathroom rule is ridiculous! Many times your class is clear across the building and there is no time to go between class! furious

I am also surprised that they don't have to wait for Mr. Mills to tell them to respond to the drill sirens since they are not allowed to react to the bell!
