Classroom Routines for Real Learning

Classroom routines are the well-oiled machines that can make a classroom function. But routines can also provide the groundwork for a learning environment that nourishes student-driven learning. From routines to start the school day to those that build classroom community, routines can help maximize learning by providing stability, consistency, and time management skills—for teachers and students. Well-structured routines can increase active student engagement, promote individual accountability, and establish a positive classroom climate.
