I will develop the rules, consequences and rewards for the class prior to the start of the school year, they will be as follows: Rules: * NO TARDINESS: Be in your seat and ready for class when the bell rings. Standing outside the door rushing in after the bell has begun to ring constitutes a tardy. You must be INSIDE the door. Before arriving to class, make sure all personal needs have been attended to, since no hall passes will be issued. Arriving late 3 or more times will lead to various consequences. * BE PREPAIRED: Have all your materials that will be needed for class. Including; textbook, pen/pencil, folders, notebook or other items as directed. Begin warm-up activity immediately, directions will be on the board or …show more content…
* PARENT CONTACT: If the student still shows no improvement their parents will be contacted and made aware of the repeated problems their child has caused. Rewards * ASSIGNMENTS OPT OUT: Student’s that obey rules and do not receive any disciplinary actions for 4 consecutive weeks will receive an opportunity to opt out of one homework assignment. * FIELD TRIP: Student’s that obey rules and do not receive any disciplinary actions for the entire semester will be allowed to participate in a semester ending field trip or activity chosen by the class as it relates to the coursework. Record Keeping * LOG: Within the daily attendance log a space will be provided for any disciplinary events that took place during that particular day. All disciplinary actions will be recorded and taken note of. The rules will me clearly communicated at the beginning of the year and I will be consistent in adhering to the consequences and model good behavior and expectations. The rules will be posted in the room as a reminder and we will practice the rules at the beginning of each semester and have a periodic review of them at different points along the way. Theory: Unlike procedures or routines, rules express standards of behavior for which individual students need to take responsibility. Although they may help in insuring the practical efficiency of classroom tasks, they are really about encouraging students to be personally responsible for learning, as well
Once these rules and consequences are developed they will be posted around the school to serve as a continues reminder for all students and staff. All staff will be trained on the rules and consequences and they will be revisited throughout the year. We will also complete a book study on Discipline with Dignity by Curwin, Mendler, and Mendler. This will allow the staff to become well versed in dealing with discipline situations. During the book study, we will role play and model discipline situations as well. This will give all staff members the necessary tools to deal with a discipline situation when one
Student discipline is one of the most important aspects of the classroom. I believe that structure and classroom management are two components that contribute to this greatly. Teachers in the beginning of the year must implement rules and routines that all Students are expected to follow. It would also be beneficial if the students took part in creating these rules. Within the first weeks of school, the teacher and students should be practicing these procedures so that students can get comfortable with the routine and know what is expected of them. If the students are aware of the rules of the classroom then there will be no surprises when the consequence is given for breaking them.
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.
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
In my opinion, it is important to have students help create the rules as a class at the beginning of the year, to provide them with the leadership and have a clear understanding of what is expected of them. The class will create 2-5 non-negotiable rules to follow in the classroom that is observable and measurable to govern the classroom. The rules will help create and maintain a positive learning environment. All rules will be written and posted throughout the classroom. The rules will be taught, practiced, and reinforced throughout the
“All school rules as outlined in the student handbook are to be followed at all time” (2). Other students can’t focus or learn if you are not following directions. You would want other students to follow the rules so you can learn, so please do the same for them. Not to mention, rules are to keep everyone safe. If you are running in the halls, you might knock someone over and they could fall backwards and get a concussion. This is why it is very crucial for all students to follow the 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.
For my class I want the students to feel a certain amount of control is theirs. To do this I want to allow them to create the rules for the classroom as well as the consequences for breaking those rules. Both of these activities will be teacher guided so that I can help make sure they are fair. I will also assign them tasks that deal with routine in the classroom such as taking up papers or helping to pass out things. This will allow them to feel ownership of their environment. I want them to feel that they can approach me to ask questions about anything the classroom including rules and
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
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
▪ Attendance is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. The student will be responsible for class attendance and assignments. In the event of an EXCUSED ABSENCE, the student will be responsible for any make-up work. Please check SCORE for missed assignments.
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
They are clearly displayed in the classroom. On the first day of school we brainstorm rules for the classroom. I then write them in a positive rather than negative. We discuss what constitutes respect such as keeping our hands and feet to ourselves, keeping any objects to ourselves, using kind and positive words. We also talk about that listening when others are speaking involves listening to teachers, classmates, guests and announcements. Everyone then signs the poster, including me.
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).
