What’s on the Routines poster?

6 numbered steps. Entry, materials, attention, transitions and packing away each deserve one. Name the moment — One recurring point that costs time or attention in every lesson.; Explain the steps — Say what happens, in order, and why the routine exists at all.; Model both versions — Show it done properly, then show the version that fails.; Practise it — Rehearse until it runs without instruction. That takes several attempts.; Correct early — Address the first small deviation, not the fifth.; Reteach after breaks — Routines decay over a holiday. Assume they need rebuilding.. Routines reduce decisions. Every decision a pupil does not have to make is working memory left for the subject.

Who is the Routines poster for?

Routines belongs to the Education section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning classroom practice can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Routines poster?

Set them in week one. Retrofitting a routine in November costs three times as much. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Routines belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Routines?

A Behaviour System, Transitions and Checking Understanding sit alongside Routines in the Education section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.

Is the Routines poster free to download and print?

Yes. Routines downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Education section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.

What size does the Routines poster print at?

Routines is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Routines loses nothing.
