I will teach twenty-three (23!!!!) different groups of students this year. Every time I start with a new batch of kids, I need to go over our classroom procedures, but I never can remember what I've already said. I end up repeating myself and omitting more and more as the year goes on. This year I decided to put it all into a slideshow I can share with the kids and post on my school website. In addition, I want the kids to have ownership of the procedures, so I will put my presentation off until the second day. First, I will group my students into 2's or 3's and have them create class procedures for certain topics. Then, I will edit my slideshow, if necessary, and present on the second day. Students will have ownership of the document (to a degree) and will be more likely to buy in to the class procedures.
