If you expect it, teach it. The areas that must be taught at the beginning of each year are: (1) what to do upon entering the room, (2) seating assignments, (3) bringing materials for class, (4) completing assignments, (5) out-of-room policies, (6) talking during discussions, and (7) responding to questions. (Emmer & Evertson, 2013, p.27) These may seem like clear set of expectations, but the fact that students know what is appropriate does not mean they will act appropriately. It is important that these areas are laid out and taught from the beginning, and if the class seems to have forgotten the expectations, teach and re-teach what is expected each and every time they step foot in your classroom. This will help to establish a well-managed classroom
