Procedure 1 title: Starting/Entering Class
Objective: Students will enter the classroom in an orderly fashion and prepare themselves for
class to begin.
When procedure will be introduced, modeled, and practiced: The first day of class, as soon
as students enter the classroom. Modeling will occur through watching their peers, one group at a
time. Students’ will practice until they are completely familiar with the procedure.
Frequency of modeling and practice: This will be practiced each time students enter the
classroom. Additional modeling will occur if students have difficulty preparing themselves for
class to begin.
Assessment and Feedback: This procedure will be reinforced each time students enter the
classroom, if they cannot follow the procedures then they will continue to exit and re-enter the
classroom until they can. Repetition will be the consequence, practice makes progress. Student
feedback will be welcomed as an exit ticket.

backpacks in designated areas, sit in assigned seats, putting all materials for class on their desk,
and read the board for further instruction.

Frequency of modeling and practice: Modeling will occur during the first week of class. As a
class, we will take the time to practice each of the responsibilities. However, further practice is
unlikely because each student will have a handout with each job and its’ description.
Assessment and Feedback: Motivation, students will be assessed by their motivation and
signing off on their responsibilities. At the end of the month, each student will write about their
job, whether they liked it or not, and which jobs they would prefer.
Procedure Steps or Activity: I will randomly select students for class jobs, privately. Students
will be notified by being posted on the board in front of the classroom. If students have further
questions, extra assistance will be available.
Procedure 4: Bathroom
Objective: Students will take the appropriate action for leaving the classroom to use the
restroom.
When procedure will be introduced, modeled, and practiced: Bathroom procedures will be
discussed at the beginning of the school year. Basic modeling will occur because it is a basic
procedure. Practice will probably not be required.
Frequency of modeling and practice: Modeling and practice will not be completely necessary,
unless students require extra attention in this area.
Assessment and Feedback: Students will have an allotted time to leave the classroom in order
to leave the classroom and return. If students are gone longer than the amount of time they will
lose their privileges. Students who execute the procedure appropriately will have an unlimited
amount of opportunities to use the restroom. Unlike students who abuse this privilege will be
limited.
Procedure Steps or Activity: Students will not be allowed to use the restroom during lecture. At
all other times, students will ask to use the restroom, receive a signature in their handbook, and
take the obnoxious bathroom pass with them.
