Having a set of rules to follow almost seems contradictory to what it means to be a designer and an individual. Designer are told to think outside of the box; do what has never been done before when creating. Individuals don’t classify themselves as a category, going outside of societal rules. However, while many rules are meant to be broken or bent, as a student rules are vital to the cohesion and learning inside a school environment.
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

While finding a good, trusting place to go is a fine thing, people are trained to stay in comfortable places. The challenge is finding new paths, places, and people, especially in a university setting where there are so many new things to explore. The easiest way to survive college is a routine that takes a person on the same route, interacting with the same people, studying and living in the same places. Without exploration and taking a risk, so many ventures will be left undone. While having a trusting place is fine, it is significantly less helpful than being encouraged to take risks. Rule ten is also less helpful, but only because the meaning is not very clear. I understand that she is letting her readers know that breaking rules, even her rules, is okay. However, the last half of the rule does not make sense. Rule breaking and the number of quantities there are don’t seem like they go in the same category. The tenth rule would make more sense if it were about being able to add temporary amendments or other rules to a set of personal rules to make it easier to bend and break other rules. This set up would make the tenth rule more universal and less
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.
The author mentions in each rule a game-changer. It is the ways that can students change their bad habits. It is also the reasons why students should follow the rules in the book. The game-changer for rule number one are two. First of all, there is no substitute for your own lectures notes. Even if students are not good note takers, they should attend the class. Each student attends with his own background information and his own organization style, so he will suffer a lot when he tries to use his friends’ lectures notes. Secondly, each class period is a learning session. Students understand the lecture more if they attend the class even if they are not good at note taking. Also, they will get higher grade because they didn’t miss these learning sessions. If a student missed a whole week of class, that mean he missed three hours of learning sessions. That will affect his grade and his understanding of the course. The author adds that you can only miss classes for three reasons. First, if the student suffers from a disease that could kill him. Second, if the student have to donate a vital organ, e.g. kidney to save another person. Third, if the student wife is giving a birth because wives need their husbands at this time. These are the only excuses to skip classes.
Our beliefs, time, money, and actions are all being fought over with design as the arsenal. The graphic designer learns how to participate in this fight through education, intuition, creativity, and technical skills. Though helpful, a formal education in design is not what is meant here. The education needed is more about understanding the previously mentioned rules we are working with. Intuition is required in order to know when it is appropriate to adjust or disregard these rules. Creativity is needed because redundancy will not break through the wall into the internal world. Technical skills are essential because poor craft reduces credibility. This idea of the world as an arena is a reoccurring theme in The Cheese Monkeys, and the importance of education, intuition, creativity, and technical skills have been further reinforced to us through the grading process and classroom discussions in Graphic Design
* Explain how to establish ground rules with learners to promote respect for others. 3.3.2
Rules by Cynthia Lord is a story of a 12 year old girl, Catherine who wants to lead a 'normal' life but has difficulty doing so because she has a younger brother, David who has Autism. Her life and her families' life revolves around her brother's disability. She has a set of rules for him like "When the bathroom door is closed, knock (especially if Catherine has a friend over)" and "keep your pants on in public" so David does not embarrass her with his behaviors. Throughout the novel, one of these 'rules' heads each chapter, and more are scattered throughout the text; Catherine writes all the 'rules' down at the back of the sketchbook she carries everywhere.
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.
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
This includes prohibitions against assault and theft or respect for leaders (Source G). Given that students are at an age where they are extremely moldable, it is imperative that they learn these rules in school.
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 this assignment I will discuss key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to my own role as a Creative Learning Practitioner working with adults. I will reflect on the Teacher/Training cycle and make reference to where my role is relevant and any boundaries involved when working with students in a creative setting. I will also reference ground rules and how to promote appropriate behaviour and respect within a safe learning environment.
If anyone should be setting rules it’s students, teachers need to observe the way students learn and they have to help the students in what they struggle in.
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).
The future working men and women who enter college are adults and will be treated as such. An adult is one who has matured to know what is right and what is wrong. The importance of a rule is a line between right and wrong that many places including colleges have as a guiding tool. College students who enter are expected to follow rules as the rules are meant to protect us and set a guideline. Adults also know how to be self-sufficient, being able to do their work, without anyone’s help or stealing someone else’s work: plagiarism. College is where we are expected to perform to the best of our abilities because as students we have a fierce ambition to get ahead by earning a degree.
RThe Seven Laws of Teaching expounds on the rules and principles of teaching. The reasoning behind the selection of this book is to help students understand the science and the art of education. John Milton Gregory, the author of The Seven Laws of Teaching, was involved in educational programs and associations for most of his life. He succeeded in carrying out educational goals and won public popularity which resulted in his election as the Superintendent of Public Instruction in Michigan. In his later years, he dedicated much of his time to traveling and writing educational works. Charles E. Walker is the editor of The Seven Laws of Teaching. Walker served in Christian education for most of his lifetime. He has spent 20 years as an
The last rule is respecting yourself. Respecting yourself can mean holding your head up high and respecting your own ideas. You can share your ideas even if you might not thing they are right. But it can lead to more important things like peer pressure, and not giving into it. It is about not letting it affect you in any way or sort. You can not have respect for others if you can not respect yourself.
