Posted Classroom Rules

The learners would have no choice but to adhere to the rules as they would be bound by their own principles. This method does fail to acknowledge the teachers experience in understanding the dynamics of groups and how the teacher could provide a valuable contribution to ground rules which consider the needs of individual learners. This method may also inhibit the teacher from delivering an effective lesson as consideration may not have been applied as to whether the rules are suitable for the teaching environment. For instance taking into account the actual content of the lesson to be delivered and forgetting to include the health and safety of the learners.

She told me about her classroom rules which are mutual respect, attentive listening and appreciations no put downs. She spent the first three weeks of school going over these three rules and afterwards she had each student write their name on colored paper which is their contract, their signature on that paper means they will follow those rules throughout the year. She has another rule in her classroom called “Kelso’s Choices”. Kelso’s Choices are nine different choices they can make on how to solve their problems in class. When the students come to an issue they have to choose two of the choices on the poster before going to the teacher. Some of the choices on there include, walking away, talking it out, apologizing, telling them to stop, etc. I really liked the idea of Kelso’s Choices because it teaches them problem solving as well as social skills. Instead of being unfair or going to the teacher they have the opportunity to solve the issues and be fair towards each other.

Review: Throuout the quarter, I have learned that because children learn differently it’s important for us as teachers to make sure that the classroom rules are clear for all children. If there is confusion it’s important for us teachers to explain them so that the children are not confused. Because if the classroom rules are unclear or not communicated enoght to the children they will negect the rules and do what they want. In addition, if the children don’t get discipline at home or don’t have clear established rules at home those children will have a harder time adjusting to having to follow directions more than a child who has a regualr sechedule and clear rules in and outside the home. Finally, rules are pro-active tools because, with

Effective Rules Rules are guideline statements that describe classroom expectations. They offer predictability for students and help them to

Hi Joselyn, I love what you said about a teacher should teach the rules in a positive way to make sure the students knows them and reminds them of the rules and give them a second chance. You are right a lot of students doesn't know a lot of rules because they weren't taught certain rules. I agree with you about teachers should know where a child is having problems and also understand

These rules are displayed throughout the school and are referred to continuously by staff and children equally. We also have class rules that have been developed by the children themselves and are a positive device for encouraging good behaviour. The children can then monitor their own behaviour as well as the behaviour of other children in the class.

It is important that everyone in a learning group either workplace based or in a classroom setting are able to take part and contribute, through listening, speaking and actively participating. To achieve this there needs to be an ethos in both the workplace and the classroom which promotes inclusion and mutual respect amongst peers and with the tutor. This can be achieved by establishing effective ground rules at the start of a course. Tuckman (Francis and Gould (2013: 18)) 'The creating of 'norms', expectations or rules is a natural part of the development of the group. Learners need a sense of structure and will feel

Rules are rules, and rules are made to be followed by the students. For instance, if someone is acting inappropriately in the lab, such as not listening to the

Sister Corita Kent’s ten rules apply to students, engaging us to get the best out of our education while realizing students are people, not learning machines. The second and third rules are all about students. The second rule helps reiterate that teachers are in the class so students can ask them questions, something all students

When discussing ground rules with learners it is important for me as the teacher to establish the rules of the student which may reflect their commitment to the teaching/learning relationship. My own ground rules would incorporate being fully prepared for lessons and ensuring I keep good time for classes to start and finish promptly. I would reciprocate to the students /learners’ commitment to completing assignments by making sure that all marking is completed and returned in equally good time. Further rules to ensure students get the most out of their learning experience encompasses my making sure all have an equal voice when expressing opinions (General Teaching Council, 2009).

In class it’s extremely important to follow Mrs. Brauckmann’s rules and expectations. Not only will it ensure that students will become more responsible in English, but it will allow students to become more responsible in life. It teaches students to be respectful to those

Classroom management is important for every teacher and students alike and Sarah makes particular reference to her classroom management strategies that begin with the display of her classroom rules. The rules were discussed with students at the beginning of the year and they ensure a smooth and happy environment for all her students. She also found it important to place a little picture next to it as “when working with ESL kids it’s really important to have visual cues for them because often a lot of writing puts them off and so if they see the visual cue then that’ll prompt them into what the rule is” (Sarah, 2003).

Uh oh!! I did something bad! What’s going to happen to me?!? Every choice you make has a consequence, whether it is positive or negative. If you fail to comply with the classroom rules or school rules, you will receive these consequences.

1. Be prepared for each class (I promise to show up dressed and ready and expect the same from you. The naked mental image of me lecturing will now haunt you for the rest of your days).

Rules and routines are primary part of a classroom teaching. According to Marzano, Marzano and Pickering (2003) and Konza (2001), setting rules and routines in classroom will enhance a better teacher-student relationship and lead into an effective teaching and learning without interruptions. Conversely, if there is no rules and routines, teaching and learning could not be process in such a chaotic classroom (Hansen & Moore, 2011). Here is a comparison of my two practices. When I had rules and routines in my first practice, the classroom environment is suitable for learning. However, the second practice I forgot setting rules and routines, as a result, students interrupted me by calling my name,
