It is important to set specific guidelines in my classroom so that our classroom environment is
always productive and running smoothly. It is also important for students to feel a sense of responsibility and ownership in creating classroom rules.
In our classroom, we worked as a team and came up with a social contract for all students as well as the teachers to follow. We came up with the following rules/guidelines that we felt were the most important ones:
Show ALL pillars of character Use appropriate voice levels Follow the GOLDEN RULE Keep our hands, feet, and objects to ourselves Always be prepared Raise our hands if we want to speak Not bully others and be proactive
In addition to all agreeing to specific guidelines, we all took the time to read over them, have a discussion and then we all signed it.
