Resource/Article for smooth transitions for the classroom

After so much time out of school, middle and high school students may need multiple refreshers on classroom procedures.

Although most students around the country have been back in physical classrooms for a few months now, there are still many middle and high school students who need support when it comes to entering and exiting the classroom properly. As students continue to get used to being back in school, there are a few quick things we as teachers can do to support them in creating routines that both help them adjust and maintain the sanctity of instructional time.

How Students Enter the Classroom

Over the past year, many students have had the ability to simply wake up and log on to a computer as their entering-the-classroom procedure. With the shift back to in-person learning, it's imperative that we teach students what we want to see as they enter our physical spaces.

Students should have a clear set of guidelines regarding the noise level at which they enter the classroom, the location in the room they should move to, and what they should be doing once they reach their seats. By teaching and practicing these procedures, teachers can ensure that they are able to begin class on time and that students will be set up for success in that class period. Additionally, these consistent structures help students understand what is expected of them and ensure that they are able to immediately focus on content rather than attempting to decipher how to behave as they enter the room.

What noise level is expected as students enter?

Will students have assigned seats?

Is there going to be a "Do Now" on the board? Is it going to be something students do silently or with a partner?

What materials should students have out on their desks by the time instruction begins?

What should a student do if they are missing materials-where are extra pencils, books, paper, etc.?

How long do students have to get settled before instruction begins?

Here are some questions to consider when introducing the procedure to students:

How Students Exit the Classroom

As with entering, students have not necessarily had to physically exit a classroom in over a year. By creating a procedure for students to exit the classroom, teachers can ensure that students are prepared to effectively, calmly, and safely enter their next class or dismiss from the building. Additionally, teachers can avoid unwanted behaviors by clearly outlining and explicitly teaching their expectations for how students exit.

As the class period comes to an end, it's important for teachers to have a plan of how they will wrap up the lesson, collect any materials, and prepare the space for the next group of students. Ideally, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning from the day's lesson through a written exit ticket, a verbal discussion, or another medium. This closing activity cues students to the fact that they are going to be transitioning out of the classroom shortly. Students should have a clear understanding of how they are to submit any completed class assignments, how they are expected to return any classroom materials, and how they are to collect their belongings and exit the room.

Clear procedures will support teachers in ensuring that each class period is given closure and that they are prepared for the start of the next class. Students will benefit from being given the time to recollect themselves and their belongings before moving into a new space. Additionally, students are more likely to avoid unwanted behaviors as they transition between classes when they understand and have practiced the procedures.

Will each student hand in their own work, or will it be collected?

Should students leave materials on their desks for the next class or return them to a specified location?

Should students leave the room when they hear the bell or wait for the teacher to dismiss them?

Do students all leave at once, or will they be dismissed by area in the room?

Some questions to consider when introducing the procedure to students:

We cannot yet know the extent to which virtual learning has impacted and will continue to impact our students. However, we do have the power to support them as they make the transition back to in-person learning by creating clear and consistent structures that help them navigate our physical classroom spaces. The traumas caused by Covid-19 cannot be undone by simply welcoming students back into the building; we as teachers must be prepared to provide wraparound support and structure throughout the day to help students once again feel safe and confident in these spaces. Simple procedures like entering and exiting the classroom are a meaningful starting point.

Supportive Classroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There's no way for a teacher to get through a whole school year without blurting out the wrong thing a few times. Difficult mornings sometimes become insufferable afternoons, and kids of all ages know how to press adults' buttons. When you do slip up, extend yourself some grace.

The good news? You can prepare to be supportive, and even practice before you step into the classroom. "One of the hardest things I had to do was learn how to change my 'teacher' language so that I could encourage and empower students on a daily basis," confides sixth-grade teacher Alyssa Nucaro. In time, she concluded that " using powerful and effective teacher language takes a lot of practice and awareness."

For professor of English education and former elementary and secondary teacher Todd Finley, being mindful about supportive language means surveying students about how they like to receive praise. Do they prefer "receiving acknowledgments via private or public oral communication? Do they want personal notes or notes home?" Finley even recommends that teachers keep track of who has received positive feedback: "Chart who you've praised so you can spread the love evenly," he says.

Being intentional and reflective about the way you deploy language is the key. You can start by imagining common classroom scenarios that call for the thoughtful use of language-delivering hard feedback after considerable student effort, for example, or discussing academic or behavioral struggles-and walk through your responses mentally to make sure you hit the right notes. To find more advice on the productive use of language, we combed through teacher comments and articles by experienced educators to identify phrases that empower learners and create a supportive environment.

7 Phrases to Keep in Mind for Regular Use

1. "I believe in you." Teachers are required to correct papers, hand out grades, and at times chastise poor behavior. That power dynamic can subtly undermine students' self-confidence. Saying "I believe in you" is a powerful way to redress the imbalance and remind kids that you are there first and foremost to help and to serve-and that at the root of all of your feedback is an abiding belief in their uniqueness and their potential.

Finding language that blends constructive criticism with faith in the student's ability can be delicate, but being straightforward generally works. In a seminal study in The Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, when teachers used language like "I have high expectations" for an essay, for example, but "I know you can reach them," the number of kids who submitted revisions doubled, from 40 percent to 80 percent.

2. "We missed you." Instead of asking, "Where were you?" which can carry a note of suspicion-or simply sound like prying-try to respond to a student's absence with a more positive twist. Say "We really missed you yesterday" to signal that you thought about the student when they weren't there and to underscore that they are a valuable contributor to the classroom community.

3. "I'm listening." Used as both a confirmation and an invitation-for example, as an open-ended prompt when a student looks troubled or starts to feel frustrated-the phrase "I'm listening" signals that there is space and respect for student voice in your classroom.

Experienced educators in our community are keen to remind fellow teachers not to jump in to fill the silence too quickly. Refrain from speaking directly after an "I'm listening," and pair the phrase with body language-eye contact if the student is amenable to it, for example-that invites them to fill the vacuum and speak their mind.

4. "Oops, I made a mistake." There are a thousand ways to say you messed up. Saying "That's a real whopper!" or "I can't believe I did that again!" can even convey the idea that academic or social miscues can be both frequent and humorous.

In several threads on Edutopia 's social media feeds, teachers emphasized that a certain comfort level with errors is essential to academic resilience in students. To reinforce this idea with their students, many educators weave preplanned mistakes into their lessons, stop to acknowledge and praise the thinking behind a student's creative error, or pepper their instruction with references to epic mistakes that they've made themselves. While mistakes are never the objective, academic progress always involves failure-and actively challenging the taboo against academic error by saying "I made a mistake," in whatever form you prefer, should be a regular occurrence in your classroom.

5. "We'll figure it out together." This deceptively simple phrase, suggested by teacher Ashley Oweazim in a recent Edutopia Instagram post, is more profound than it seems. In classrooms, where instruction tends to flow in one direction, collaborative language that positions the teacher and student as partners and co-learners flips the script and is subversive in all the right ways.

Students who are struggling with a concept and hear you say "We'll figure it out together" retain a sense of agency, are reminded that even teachers need help, and are encouraged to think of themselves as competent, equal participants in a problem-solving exercise.

6. "You've really improved..." and "I really admire..." Feedback that is specific, measured, and focused on a student's process or effort is motivating and actionable. But it also requires that teachers be attentive to the intricacies of a student's learning journey.

When teachers notice and then articulate areas of academic progress by saying "You've really improved on your descriptive writing-I loved the way you described your family in this story," for example, they signal that learning is a tangible, ongoing process powered by effort and persistence.

7. "I'm sorry." Saying "I'm sorry" can be a bitter pill. It's a frank admission of wrongdoing, and in classroom settings it can feel like ceding authority and thus losing ground in the struggle for discipline and focus. But a judicious use of "I'm sorry" also models one of the most powerful-and rarest-acts of civility and instantly humanizes the relationship between teachers and students. A simple, heartfelt "I'm sorry," recommended by middle school teacher Haley Luckenbill in our Instagram post, instills trust, signals respect for the receiver, and makes you more accessible.
