The holidays can make classroom routines harder. 🦃🎄 Students may know the schedule but still wait for reminders. Teach where to look, what to do next, and how to begin. Make this holiday season easier! Get the FREE Classroom Systems Playbook. Enter your email using the link in my first reply.

🧩 A posted routine doesn’t automatically build independence. Teach it. Practice while calm. Celebrate progress. Gradually fade reminders while keeping needed supports. The goal? Students know what comes next, and teachers get more time to teach. 💛 📘 FREE Playbook in first reply.

🧩 Teachers don’t need another routine students only look at. The final step: teach where to look, practice while calm, celebrate progress, and gradually fade repeated reminders. Less reminding. More teaching. 💛 📘 FREE Classroom Systems Playbook in the first reply.

🧩 Teachers are juggling lessons, transitions, and constant reminders. Posting a routine isn’t enough. Practice it while the room is calm. Teach students where to look, what to do, and how to begin with less prompting. Less reminding. More teaching. 💛

🧩 Still repeating the same directions during classroom transitions? Try a simple visual routine: Look → Do → Move → Finish. Teach it, practice it, then gradually fade reminders so students can follow the steps more independently. Less reminding. More teaching. 🌈

One teacher shared that students could see the routine but still waited for directions. Seeing a routine isn't the same as knowing how to use it. Teach where to look, what to do next, and how to begin. Less reminding. More teaching.

The visual routine is posted. But do students know how to use it? Step 2: Teach the routine. Show each step, practice it in order, and make sure teachers and paras use consistent prompts. A routine becomes useful when students learn what to do next. 🌈

A teacher shared that students could see the routine but still waited for directions. More reminders weren’t the answer. Start with ONE routine, like transitions. Teach where to look and what comes next. The FREE Playbook shows how to begin. Link below. 👇

The routine is posted. The students are still waiting. Teachers know this moment. More reminders won’t always solve it. Students need to learn where to look, what comes next, and how to begin. Tomorrow: Start with ONE routine. #SpecialEducation #ClassroomRoutines

The routine is posted. The steps are visible. But students still ask, “What do I do next?” One pattern teachers describe: seeing a routine isn’t the same as knowing how to use it. The missing piece? Explicit teaching. #SpecialEducation #ClassroomRoutines
