Classroom Norms

2. I believe teachers should communicate rules and expectations in a clear and respectful manner in order to minimize confusion and allow students to know what is expected of them and how to succeed in class.

This model is centred around principles of rights, rules, respect responsibilities, and relationships. Rogers emphasises the need for teachers to establish a set of student led classroom rights, rules and responsibilities during the establishment period of the year (Killian, Ogden, Shipston, & Facas, 2017). These rights, responsibilities and rules entail the behaviours that are expected in the classroom and protect the student’s rights to; feel safe, be treated with respect and to learn. The rules are to be developed reasonably and provide freedom in the sense students are free to move around the boundaries. As the rules are decided and agreed upon by the students, this develops a sense of understanding and accountability for their own behaviour and learning (Edwards, & Watts, 2008). In order to ensure students are respectful to the rights of students, the teacher must also treat students with respect. The teacher must consider the dignity of the students and their rights in the classroom ensuring they avoid any behaviours they

In a diverse classroom each student will be attended based on their individual need and teachers will meet each child at their level. Student will be treated equally regardless of their cultural background or socioeconomic status. By providing a good classroom management system, we will have a respectful and inclusive class culture. Establishing good classroom routines is essential to creating a positive environment for students to focus on learning. The follow sections cover those routine in our class

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

Regarding classroom expectations, teachers should discuss these with pupils and involve them in the decision making process, rather than imposing the policy and classroom expectations. This involves

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

“Helping students develop mathematical dispositions in which they share their ideas, discuss others’ ideas, and so on, is always a challenge,” (The National Council of Teachers Mathematics, 2003, P. 151). I found this quote and reading to be very relatable, in the sense that students can often struggle to come up with their own ideas. This was definitely true for me and my group when we were working on the locker problem in class. In the book and in class, discussions can really benefit students and keep them engaged. “To encourage all students to contribute to discussions, the teacher should ask other students to explain their classmates ideas,” (The National Council of Teachers Mathematics, 2003, P. 153) this statement made me think of dialogic teaching. Dialogic teaching is students having a rich discussion amongst each other while being guided by the teacher. The students find out the answer on their own and the teacher does not tell them. So social norms and classroom management plays a big role when students problem solve.

In this assignment I will explore my role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher within the teacher training cycle and will analyse the different ways in which I would establish ground rules with students which may promote good behaviour and respect for other students who are participating within the same learning environment (Gravells, 2010).

If your classroom runs smoothly, learning takes place. I agree that teachers should create rules that specifically define our behaviors expectations. I think rules should be positive. Being positive creates an atmosphere where students want to be positive also. Before we can hold students to high standards we must teach them the rules

6). Educators need to have a trusting relationship between them and the students. Two rules for Kindergarten are simple ones keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself and follow directions. The consequences for breaking these rules are (1) verbal warning, (2) remove from the group, (3) loss of privileges, and (4) note to parents. There will be a chart on the wall with five colored rectangles. The top rectangle is green with all the students clips on it, blue is verbal warning, yellow is remove from the group, orange is loss of privileges, and red is note to parents. The students will move their clips down as needed. The student’s agenda will be highlighted with the color they are on at the end of the day. Students will use the appropriate color to highlight the date. This allows the students to realize they are accountable for the color

To start off I don’t think that behavior has anything to do with our grades. Like I could be an A student but not behave as someone that is better behaving. I do think that if a student behaves poorly he should have some form of punishment, but don’t think this should be the way. I think a good way of getting the students to behave better is if the student behaves improperly their parents should be notified.

Classrooms have sets of formal and informal norms set in place by teachers and schools that are mostly abided by students, consciously or unconsciously.

The required action manifested in the form of motivating student interest, learning and differentiation in the classroom. The Year 8 students needed a form of routine within the class and a point of interest which would be renewed systematically throughout the term. Thus, the rules and expectations chart was created in tandem with the students, in order for the students to take ownership of their behavior and attitudes within the classroom.

            The best way to promote desired classroom behaviors and procedures is to model them yourselves. If teachers say one thing and do

According to National Post Ben Fields, a school resource officer at Spring Valley High School has been fired for using unnecessary force to remove a student from the classroom. Videos taken by the students in the classroom show Deputy Fields asking the student to leave; upon refusal, the officer is seen wrapping his forearm around the student’s neck and flipping her while she was still sitting in her desk. The female student is then dragged, tossed across the room and finally handcuffed while students watch. According to students, the female student was on her cell phone in class. After a teacher and administrator were unable to get the student to hand over her cell phone or leave the classroom, Fields was called. A classmate quoted the female
