Rules and Consequences

Classroom rules are needed to establish a safe and organized classroom environment that

gives each student the opportunity to learn and develop successfully. Setting rules and

consequences also allows the teacher to teach. That is, they keep the proper conditions with

minimal distractions and wasting of time.

Rules  Consequences

Beginning of the day * If a student doesn’t follow procedures

1. Be on time or distracts the class
2. Line up outside the classroom in 1. First offence: verbal warning
alphabetical order 2. Second offense: student will stay

4. Take out class materials quietly and put are clean
backpacks away.  3. Third offense: Call home 
5. Place homework on the corner of your desk 4. Fourth offense: Referral to the
office
Rationale: Being late to class interrupts the teacher
and the class, while also affecting the student
because they miss class time, therefore it is
important to be on time. 
It is important to follow procedures and do things
in an orderly fashion in order to keep the classroom
working properly.

Coming in Late 1. If a student has no tardy slip, they

1. Enter classroom
2. Stand by the door
3. Wait until I ask you to take a seat

Rationale: When students arrive late to the
will stay after class and explain
why they were late.
2. If student doesn't wait quietly by

classroom, not only do they miss valuable class
time, they also distract the rest of the class. It is
important for the student who is late to come in
quietly into the room and disturb the class as little
as possible.
Guidelines must be set so students don’t just barge
into the classroom.
Cellphones
1. Cellphone must be turned off and put away
in your backpack at all times
Rationale: It is important for students to focus all
their attention on what is going on in the
classroom. Phones are a major distraction, and
having access to them during class is far from
beneficial.
 and having access to their cellphones during class
time deviates their focus. Therefore, it is important
that they be put away   Phones are a major
distraction  class and pick it up once it ends.
General Classroom Rules
1. Be kind, polite, and respectful
2. Come to class with all materials
3. Follow directions
4. Raise hand and wait to be called on to
speak
5. Be mindful of others, don’t distract your
classmates
Rationale: Being respectful to other students is
necessary to establish a safe learning environment
where students will feel like they belong.
It is important for students to bring all their
materials to class. By not doing so they miss
valuable class time trying to look for/borrow tools
to work with. They also distract other students that
did have all their materials.
Positive Consequences

*If a student continues to use their phone
in the classroom, they will be required to

2. Second offense: student will stay
after class to make sure there is
no trash left behind and all desks
are clean

 I believe it is important to watch out for good behavior in the classroom. If a student is

following rules and procedures and behaving extraordinarily well, they will receive MissCo

tickets. These will allow them to “purchase” certain privileges in the classroom, such as

homework passes (with restrictions), 5 minutes of reading, specific seats, etc.
