Lesson 4

PROCEDURE TO TEACH PROCEDURES

To EXPLAIN my procedure, I will provide my students with a list on a
bulletin board of the steps that coincide with the procedure. I will read
through the steps with them and even walk around the room to show
them how to complete each step.
I will REHEARSE the procedure by asking the students to tell me each
step.
I will REINFORCE each procedure by explaining to the students the
importance of each procedure and why we do them (ex: when passing
papers, keep organization; when being tardy or absent, make sure to
catch up on work; when there is an emergency, making sure no one
gets confused or harmed).
An effective teacher will spend most of the first two weeks of the
school year teaching students to follow classroom procedures (Wong
and Wong, 83). After these first two weeks, I will still take time
throughout the school year reviewing different procedures.
I also enjoyed Mr. Kazim Ciceks reasoning for teaching procedures: A
procedure is the way that we do things. To do things right, we have to
follow some simple procedures, for example: To open your locker, you
have to select your combination as directed by the lock manufacturer.
To place a call on your phone, you need to enter the number in the
right order. So, to be successful in learning, you need to follow some
simple procedures (Wong, Classroom Management Online Course). To
introduce the different procedures in my classroom, I plan on using a
similar theory as Mr. Ciceks to teach my class.
VISUALS FOR PROCEDURES
I will keep a bulletin board with different sections belonging to each
procedure. Each section will list the steps to the procedure and, if
needed, a map.
