Create five classroom rules that you would use in your own classroom. Next, explain a plan for teaching these rules to students on the first day of class. A consistent system of rules and procedures establishes structure for students. Is structure helps students become interested in their educational assignments and communicates to students that the teacher cares about them (Brophy, 1998). Classroom rules are a teacher's stated expectations for student behavior. Classroom procedures are models for carrying out classroom assignments. Classroom rules and procedures are related in three ways. First, the rules are the expectation limits within which the procedures are followed. Second, the procedures establish routines that help students meet the expectations stated in the rules. Third, both rules and procedures must be consistently taught, practiced, and supported to be effective in the classroom. This leads us to take into account the creation of rules and the strategy to apply them; we are going to exemplify the rules and their corresponding procedures to be implemented. For example, five rules that I like to implement in the classroom, especially with elementary school students, are: Rule 1: Respect yourself, your peers, and your possessions. Procedures: Ask for and receive permission before taking other people's possessions.

Rule 2: Speak at the appropriate times and tones. Procedures: 1 . Raise your hand to ask permission to speak if the teacher is speaking 2. Use appropriate tones of voice during class discussions, waiting for a pause in the conversation to express your thoughts. Rule 3: Be in your seat and ready for class when the bell rings. Procedures: Put your completed homework in the homework basket upon entering the classroom Rule 4: Follow the teacher's instructions. Procedures: Be attentive to instructions and do not converse or be distracted. Rule 5: Obey all school rules. Procedures: Copy the school rules into your notebook and review them every Monday. Plan to teach the rules: Anticipate what students will need to know and do in the classroom, both academically and socially, before the school year begins. Establish your plans for the first days of school-based on these educational goals. For example, if punctual student attendance is needed to maximize instructional time, then prepare appropriate classroom rules and procedures that answer questions such as: - What time will class start? - How will I be ready to start class on time? - How will I present my expectations for punctuality to students? - What will be the consequences of being late?

Select rules and procedures that I can uphold and state positively (for example, "Walk in the hallways" rather than "No running"). Begin to demonstrate and discuss classroom rules and procedures from the first day of school. Explain to students the objectives and rationale behind classroom rules and procedures. Identify positive examples of classroom rules and procedures in action and provide practice opportunities for each. Develop, teach, practice new procedures if necessary to establish effective routines in the classroom. Consistently respond to student behavior in accordance with established classroom rules and procedures. Always I keep in mind in this process that the rules (developed with the students or without the students) should support my educational goals for the class, be developed in a way that your students can understand and carry them out, and be associated with clear positive and negative consequences. These rules may vary in subject, grade level, and group dynamics. Writing rules with your students is an extensive process (2–3 mornings/class sessions). The procedures that you establish in your classroom should help students meet the stated expectations, be developed in a way that your students can understand and carry them out, and be re-taught as needed to help students to remember the models.
