Managerial Routines

EQUIPMENT

---

    *DISTRIBUTION*
 

• Have materials for lesson ready before class begins.
• Have equipment placed in one location all the time.
• Equipment is handled only after the teacher has given instructions to the class.
• Have one partner get equipment, while the other finds an open area.
• Have equipment scattered to avoid crowding, and increase time on task.

    *COLLECTION*
 

• Have students place equipment in appropriate containers.
• Ensure that they put it in the area you want, this will help avoid INJURIES or ACCIDENTS.
• Class is only dismissed when all of the equipment has been returned to the appropriate area.
• Enlist the help of students in carrying equipment or supplies back to the equipment room.

PROCEDURES

---

*CHANGE ROOM PROCEDURES*

• At the beginning of the year set out expectations of the class in the team change room.  For example, "This is a place where cowards and bullies hide," and letting students know that it is unacceptable, their conduct should be no different in the change room than in the classroom.
• Everyone must be changed by a certain time, perhaps have a countdown to allow for those students who have difficulty with transitions to be more comfortable.

INTRODUCTION TO LESSON

• Use your "Gym Voice" and/or a whistle to call students in, be consistent with cues.

    *DISMISSAL*
 

• Call students in using a "Gym Voice" and/or a whistle

GROUPINGS

---

• Have students select a partner, ensure that students dont have the same partner all the time by getting them to switch partners part way through the class.
• Have students select partners from non-traditional ways.  E.G.:  Those without a partner stand-up and place students together that way.  Or everyone wearing this color, shoe brand etc. partner up.
