Capture ideas with your voice, add images to notes, check tasks off your to-do list, and much more.
A different reward system many teachers use on a weekly or bi-weekly basis since it allows for a quick reward timeframe. These have successfully been done with a learned phrase relating to content as well that once completed shared a learned content message.
6. Re-teach
After assessing the students’ performance of the procedure, it may be necessary to re-teach the procedure or provide reminders as to how it should be executed properly.
When to Use
Common procedures that teachers need to plan and teach to students include one for entering the classroom, leaving the classroom, working independently, working in groups, going to the restroom, and sharpening pencils. Procedures need to be taught at the beginning of the year, but students will need reminders throughout the year. It is especially important to re-teach procedural expectations when students return from an extended break from school, such as Winter Break or other extended holiday break periods longer than a typical weekend.

Thoughts to Ponder:
How To Survive After An Extended Break
Welcome back from a short holiday break!
After any holiday break, it can be beneficial to reinforce classroom procedures with your students.
How to Use
1. Write out expectations:
For each procedure, students must know what to do and how to do it correctly. The teacher must explicitly describe each step of the procedure. Some teachers choose an acronym to remind students of the most important elements of the procedure. For example, a teacher could use the acronym “BAC” to help when writing procedure expectations. The “B” is for bodies- how should the students be moving? Can they get up from their seat? The “A” is for assistance- how should the students ask for the teacher’s help? The “C” is for conversation- are the students allowed to talk? If so, to whom?
2. Prepare visuals:
It is very helpful to create a visual to aid in the explanation of a procedure. One example of a visual is a “Looks Like, Sounds Like” chart. A poster listing the “BAC” expectations may also be created for each procedure or activity.
3. Teach procedures
Using the prepared visual, take time to specifically teach each procedure or activity. Explain what the students should do, how they should move, who they should be talking to, and any other details they are expected to know.
4. Practice procedures:
In addition to the teacher’s explanation, students need a chance to actually practice the procedure. For example, after teaching students how to properly enter the classroom, have them line up outside the door and act as if they are just arriving. Students should be able to demonstrate the correct procedure. They also enjoy having fun with this process by showing the “example” and, once mastered, being able to perform the “non-example."
5. Monitor and assess:
Within the first few days after teaching the procedure, be sure to monitor the students and assess how well they are meeting the procedural expectations. Implement a class-wide motivation system like Fill-in-the-Blank, 100 Squares, or Marble Jar to reinforce your procedure. See examples below
Use a reward system like a marble jar to have students fill up a jar with marbles by completing procedures correctly. Remember procedures get practiced...rules require consequences.
Like a marble in the jar, a number is marked off to show completing procedures correctly. However, this allows for rows to be used as a bingo-style board as well to give the teacher freedom to reward sooner if they so choose.
