Instruction
For the purpose of this task, use the following definitions:
• Situation: event or condition occurring during the context of a school day
• Routine: prescribed course of action to be followed by students in the class
room
• Procedure: series of steps students will take to accomplish a routine
Note: Be sure to focus your responses on the routines and procedures of the
students, not the teacher.
For this task, you will need to refer the following list
:
K–8 Situations
1. Beginning of the day
2. End of the day
3. Transition between activities
4. Distribution of materials
5. Field trip
6. Recess
7. Fire or disaster drills
Refer to the given list for K-8 situations. Think about the types of behaviors that take place during
each of the situations.
1. Identify one routine that you would want students to follow for each of the
seven situations listed. Be sure to describe the actions of the students, not
the teacher.
Outline a procedure with a minimum of three steps that students (not the
teacher) will follow during each routine. (You will have an outline consisting of 21
steps: three steps for each of seven routines).
Note: The format for presenting your routines and procedures should be as
follows:
1. Routine
a. Step 1 of Procedure
b. Step 2 of Procedure
c. Step 3 of Procedure
Write a brief essay (suggested length of 1–2 pages) in which you explain why
each of the routines you have identified would be appropriate.
Note: Be sure to frame your explanation in terms of the student’s actions, not the
teacher’s.
