Classroom Rules & Rationale
We have four classroom rules:
1. Be Safe
Rationale: Students are to ensure that the
actions they choose to make keep themselves
and others safe at all time. This will aid in
creating a safe learning environment for all.
2. Be Responsible
Rationale: Student’s will be encouraged to
problem solve,be independent, and take
resopnsility for their own actions; however,
they will be held accountable by natural
consequences.
3. Be Respectful
Rationale: Students are to respect themselves,
others, and all school supplies. This will
uphold the lifetime of the classroom resources
and create a postive moral in the classroom.
4. Work Hard
Rationale: Students are encouraged to put
forth their best effort in any given assignment.
I will strive to provide all the necessary tools
to ensure success from each student. By
working hard we will see growth in instrictic
motivation and quality dedication.
Classroom Environment
Classroom rules are impletemented each year;
however, the students assist in creating them
during the first week of school. We begin by
brainstorming various rules as a class, dicuss
how it would be difficult to rememeber this
many rules, and ultimately narrow them
down to a managable amount. As a class, we
discuss the similarity of the rules and begin
categorizing them into four groups. This leads
to the four rules previously stated.
Positive and negative consequences come
about naturally as studnets make their
choices, and this is an effective stratgy I
implement in my classroom. For reoccuring
misbehaviors, I have students complete a
reflection sheet, on which thye decide the
reaons for their behavior, identify the
consequence, and come up with a plan for
improving the behavior.
“A great classroom
environment comes
from the heart, not from
the wallet. It is built on
love, laughter, and a
feeling that everyone
belongs.”
Classroom Management
Beliefs & Reasons
“Establishing clear expectations for
appropriate behavior, monitoring behavior,
and then reinforcing appropriate behavior
and redirecting inappropriate behavior” is
how I plan to conduct my classroom (Huitt,
1996). This type of classroom management
is known as the Behavioral approach. I
believe that it is important to hold our
students to a high standard and push them
to preform to their full potential. By
setting the expectations at the beginning of
the year, students will have a clear
understanding of the standards and will be
held accountable for their actions.
Students can rely me to give constant and
encouraging feedback, engaging lessons,
and clear behavioral expectations.
