Classroom Procedures

Procedures are a part of life. We follow procedures for using a telephone book, boarding an airplane, approaching a traffic light, and attending a wedding. The reason we have procedures in life is so that people can function in society knowing the efficient and acceptable ways other people do things.

There are procedures in this classroom. These procedures establish our classroom culture. Classroom Procedures benefit everyone. Following procedures will help us do our work with less confusion and thus help everyone succeed.
