Teach: Show students the pencil station and point out the two pencil cans. Tell students that if they have a dull
or broken pencil, they should hold the pencil slightly above their head and wait to be acknowledged. If granted
permission, tell the students to walk quietly to the pencil station. Tell students to place the dull pencil in the
Used Pencil can and to take a fresh pencil from the New Pencils can. Then students should quietly walk back to
their seat and resume working.
Rehearse: Select a few students to demonstrate the procedure for exchanging a dull pencil for a sharpened one.
Make positive comments and gentle corrections while students are demonstrating this procedure.
Reinforce: Remind students that the objective of this procedure is to minimize disruptions to the lesson and to
the class while making available to the students the tools they need to do their work.
Teach: Create a poster with the D.E.A.R. Time guidelines and post it where students can easily refer to it.
Teach D.E.A.R. Time during the first week of school. Show students inviting spaces for reading in the
classroom. Designate a time during the school day for D.E.A.R Time. Discuss the guidelines and what they
achieve. Tell students you will be participating with them. Allow for brief sharing of anything exciting theyve
learned or read.
Rehearse: Model what D.E.A.R. Time should look like. Show students how to choose reading materials and
where to sit in the classroom. Remind students of the guidelines. Ask a few students to model what this
procedure should look like. Remind students that this time is for silent reading. Correct students who forget to
read quietly and independently.
Reinforce: Acknowledge students for following the procedure. If the procedure is not being done correctly,
simply ask, What is the procedure for D.E.A.R. Time, please?
Teach: Explain your procedure for taking a test. Include the above steps for your students to follow.
Rehearse: Tell students that on test day, all regular classroom procedures will be followed. Model how students
should indicate that they have completed their test by placing their papers face-down. Remind students that
once they have done this, they are not allowed to return to the test. Emphasize that the agenda will be followed
as usual. Students should remain in their seats and start on unfinished work or silent read until every student is
done with their test.
Reinforce: On the day of the first class test, discuss the test-taking procedure again to eliminate any
misunderstanding. Remind students to remain silent after they have completed their test. Highlight possible
unfinished work and/or silent reading that students can work on when they finish their test. Clarify any
questions students may have about test taking.

Teach: Each day, choose a specific social skill to include in the lesson and have students demonstrate that skill
throughout the day. Emphasize how that skill is used in a productive workplace and how the skill is used in
society. Repeat the process for all of the target skills.
Rehearse: Practice social skills as necessary until the social skills become routine for the class. Work closely
with individual students who have difficultly mastering these skills.
Reinforce: Acknowledge the class for their performance of specific social skill and encourage them to use it
again. Be consistent in the expectation that suitable social skills be used at all times in the classroom.
Teach: Announce to the class that it is time to wash their hands. Students are to line up and follow you as you
lead them to the classroom sink. One at a time, students wash their hands. Students are to follow the above
steps. Thank students for following the procedure correctly. Repeat until all of the students have washed their
hands.
Rehearse: Role-play the procedure. Tell students to pretend it is time for a snack and line up to wait their turn
to wash their hands. Have students pretend they are following the procedure, without using soap, water, or
paper towels. Practice several times until all of the students understand the procedure.
Reinforce: Remind students why it is important to wash their hands. Thank students each day for following the
correct procedure. Redirect students who deviate from the procedure.
