Classroom routines are the well-oiled machines that can make a classroom function. But routines can also provide the groundwork for a learning environment that nourishes student-driven learning.

Classroom routines are the sequences and order that students are asked to follow, be it walking in line through the hall, or answering "present” when their name is called. This thoughtful book shows how to use flexible, well-structured routines to build classroom community, foster independent work, differentiate lessons, increase student engagement, and encourage collaboration.
