Overview
Why Establish Classroom Routines?
Classroom routines can be a key component of a brave and reflective classroom community.
Setting aside five to ten minutes at the beginning and/or end of class to welcome students to the learning space, gauge their emotional well-being, and nurture community helps students experience school as a predictable, meaningful, and supportive part of their day. This can be especially valuable when students have experienced significant disruptions to their lives and learning.
