Establishing Predictable Routines for Student Success

Description

Predictable classroom routines do more than manage behavior: they reduce cognitive load, build student confidence, and create consistency that allows all learners to focus on thinking rather than navigation. But not all routines are created equal. This session explores two research-informed frameworks for building high-impact instructional routines: EduProtocols, which give teachers repeatable lesson structures that students internalize over time; and Project Zero thinking routines, which make student thinking explicit, discussable, and transferable across content areas. Participants will explore examples from both frameworks, experience selected routines as learners, and leave ready to implement at least two routines in their own classrooms.

A Message from the Moderators

This page gives you everything you need to make the most of your session. Review the recommended accounts before you join, track your checkpoints during the session, and follow the certificate instructions when you're done.

Before You Begin

You will have the best live technical experience using either the Chrome or Firefox browser. (Note: we have also had success with the Edge browser.) Safari is NOT recommended. There is a TrainerCentral Learner app for Android and iOS.
Your lead facilitator recommends having accounts ready for the following tools before the session begins. Taking a few minutes to set these up in advance means you'll spend your time learning, not troubleshooting.

Earning Your Certificate

To receive your certificate of completion you must complete all six session checkpoints and submit the post-session feedback survey. The feedback survey is how you request your certificate and is required for all participants — including those seeking state continuing education credit.

Certificates are typically issued within three weeks of the live session date.

Educators in Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Montana: Additional information required for state continuing education credit will be collected through the feedback survey.
