-
Divide students into small groups and have them write out 4 rules that will ensure they have an ideal classroom. The whole class then votes to determine 5 rules to govern the class.
-
Revisit rules created on the first day. Discuss and model classroom rules and procedures. Be very detailed and ask the students to practice what they have watched you do.
-
Go over rules and procedures and practice some more. Check for students' understanding by asking questions and by asking them to model the required routine or behavior.
-
Make comments and clarifications based on your observation of how students have obeyed the rules and carried out the procedures. Have the students sign a commitment to the rules of the classroom and have it sent home and acknowledged by parents/ guardians
-
The rules and Procedures should be revisited often. For example; after the weekends, 2 weeks after resumption, at the beginning of a new unit or at the beginning of a new term. These are just examples, the rules and procedures can be revisited as often as you deem fit.
