Chapter 9: Routines

  • What procedural routines are important, and how do I get maximum mileage out of them?

Knowing what to expect makes you comfortable; not knowing what to expect is when you have anxiety.

Routines are embedded with expectation messages about what we think is important and our belief in students’ capacity to achieve.
