The students and I will have a class discussion about classroom rules and procedures. I will get their input about what they think classroom rules and procedures are. This will begin the process of establishing classroom rules. Student participation is vital to this process. When the students participate in this process, it gave them more ownership and may make them more likely to hold one another accountable for his or her actions. Every student must participate in this process, so if you have 24 students in your classroom you must have at least 24 rules, procedures or routines to start of with.

If you cannot implement the rules and procedures by the first two weeks of the school year, it is certain that the school year would not run as smoothly as you would hope it to. There are three steps to teach classroom procedures. The first step is to explain the classroom procedures clearly. Not only explain but to demonstrate the procedure step by step. The second step is to rehearse the classroom procedures until they become routines. After you have explained and demonstrated the procedures have students practice the procedures, step by step, under your supervision. After each step make sure that the students have performed the steps correctly. The student must repeat these procedures until it becomes routine. The last step is to reinforce a correct procedure and reteach and incorrect one. You have to then determine whether students have learned the procedure or whether they need further explanation, demonstration or practice. Reteach the correct procedure if rehearsal is unacceptable, and give correct feedback, praise the students when done
