Procedures and routines are critical to a reduction of problem behaviors and the need for discipline interventions at all times, but will be even more important as we return to buildings at this time. IN order to maintain safety from a physical and a health perspective, we need to invest more time prior to the occurrence of negative behaviors to support students in learning new skills and expectations and take the extra time to reinforce when they are demonstrated rather than returning to a culture of responding to negative behaviors. This will need to be a priority so that students and staff can maintain safety and cleanliness in the classrooms and buildings.

Building a solid routine isn't just helpful for myself as a teacher in terms of planning, but also it will provide the students with something consistent and reliable that they can fall back on. I know that for myself, having a plan and a regular routine is necessary to keep my feet on the ground and keep me moving forward. Having a solid routine and structure in place for the students, so they know what to expect of me and what I expect of them, will set my classroom up for success. The strength of any good building project lies in the foundation.

When students know what the expectations are for a classroom, it can help them alleviate anxieties about "what's coming next" or "what am I suppose to do". Understanding the structure of how the next 45 minutes will go (attendance, questions from last night's homework, classroom practice, linking new material/concepts to yesterday's work, questions, practice, hand in homework) allows students to prepare appropriately for the day and to make predictions about  when they can ask questions or may need to increase their level of attention. However, behavior is always a concern that needs to be addressed. In keeping with structure and consistency, students must all know what the response (consequence) will be when they do   not display appropriate behaviors or do not follow the routines in place. A consistency  in teacher response is also crucial for maintaining a student's ability to feel safe (reduced anxiety), make predictions, and participate effectively.

This is a great quote to remember. Sometimes we feel the pressure of jumping straight into specific learning content and it is a race to see who can get to the end of the first chapter.

Structure and routine will help students to feel confident as they operate in a predictable environment.

I have always found that it takes at least 3-4 weeks for students to really understand what is expected of them in the classroom. It sometimes feels as if you are repeating yourself a million times and that it's unnecessary, but all that repetition and consistency pays off. Students need this in order for the classroom to operate smoothly. I will need to take the same amount of time, if not more, to set up the expectations for my virtual classroom. I believe that with clear explanations, routines, and structure, students will be able to function well in the virtual environment as well. Even though we as adults may feel that 1 or 2 times of doing a task is enough for understanding, realistically, our students will need much more than that in order to be independent and confident in their ability to function in the virtual classroom.
