  11. FACS and FCCLA are INTEGRATED. • FCCLA is Co-Curricular with FACS Education. • You make time in your FACS class to INCORPORATE FCCLA. • Yourstudents will benefit greatly!

  12. Routines & Structure • May sound a little boring – but this is for your sanity! • Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. • They facilitate teaching and learning. • They save VALUABLE classroom time. • Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more. • Consistently follow your procedures and model correctness. • When introducing activities and new classroom tools – explain the routine that goes with them.

  13. Consistency is KEY. • Students learn better in a consistent environment. • They like knowing what they can expect. • They thrive with routine and consistency when it comes to classroom management and expectations. (Not teaching methods!) • Students excel when they know what to expect. • Students do not like surprises (when it comes to classroom management routines.) • Students do not do well in a classroom that is disorganized. • Students do better in a classroom that has a consistent environment – they are more relaxed and comfortable. • Consistency can be hard for the teacher to execute ALL the time – but it is necessary. • If you feel you struggle with this… find someone who excels and observe them several times to start developing your method of consistency.

  14. Ways I try to have STRUCTURE, ROUTINES and CONSITENCY • Daily Bell Ringers. First Fives in our class. • Hourly Instructions on Display. • Standing at Door – Greeting Students. • Music Playing. • Turn in Work Procedure/Routine/Location. • Roll Call – Question of the Day. • Explanation of Class Period. • Time Management Monday – NEW! • Friday – Weekly Checklist.
