Technique 28: Entry Routine

(Part of chapter 5: Creating a Strong Classroom Culture)

This technique is about students getting in the habit of getting into the classroom quickly and getting started quickly on the lesson for the day.  The author talks about getting worksheets/packets to the students quickly, getting the students to their seats quickly, turning in homework quickly, etc.

One interesting idea is for the teacher to have a Do Now activity ready for the students, in the same place every time.  See the next posting.

My response:

I don't have much of a problem with this in college.  Students generally sit down and get ready to go.
