Classroom
Rules
BY: DE LA TORRE, REDELYN I.
 Bring your papers, pencils, and books,
Read the Unless you want my dirty looks.
Class will start – I know I’m pushy---
When in your seat, I see your “tushy”.
poem: You need to know that it’s expected
That you respect and feel respected.
Watch your words and be polite,
Avoid aggression, please don’t bite.
Sometimes you’ll sit, sometimes you’ll talk.
Please do each of these on cue.
Listen to me, I’ll listen to you.
These rules exist so we can learn.
Obey them and rewards you’ll earn
I also feel compelled to mention,
Breaking rules seem strict and terse,
Please make suggestions but only in verse.

 Classroom Rules
Be honest.
- are a set of rules and guidelines that are
imposed by the teacher that the class must follow.
These rules are designed to assist the teacher in
behaviour management and ensure there is a
positive environment for learning where all pupils
feel comfortable and safe.
Classroom rules are the foundation for a
functional and successful classroom in any setting.
 How to formulate
specific classroom
rules/virtual class rules.
Build the foundation.
Get students involved in creating
classroom rules.
Display classroom rules creatively.
Be specific.
Be clear on
consequences.
Give (small) rewards.
Get parent buy-in
Collaborate with your
colleagues.
 Importance of Good
Classroom
Structure/Routines in Class
·Structure and routines is a concept in the area
of teaching quality and describes how teachers
design tasks, share authority, and evaluate
students’ progress. Routines are the backbone of
daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and
learning process, it is the key to a well-managed
and organized classroom.

BY: PEDROLA, SHIELLA MAE

 Here are just a few of the many ways that a
structured learning environment and routines is
beneficial to learning.
A structured learning environment often
translates to a safe classroom, one where
students can enjoy themselves and focus on
learning.
In a structured learning environment, students are
more likely to thrive and experience personal and
academic growth.
Routines don’t just make your life easier, they save
valuable classroom time. And what do most
important, efficient routines make it easier for
students to learn and achieve more.
Routines in the classroom not only ensure that you get
through the things that need to be done each day, but
research has also shown that use of specific routines for
classroom activities can increase time on task.
Structuring of learning environment is essential for
teachers and students, a well-structured classroom
management plan has the ability to improve learning and
behavior.
The purpose of defining and teaching classroom routines
is to reduce disruptive behavior, therefore maximizing the
time spent on instruction.
Routines are an important way to establish norms, set
expectations, and otherwise build positive relationships in
the classroom environment (and the workplace). They
help everyone involved be on the same page.
Teachers who build a structured classroom will find that
they enjoy their jobs more, see more growth in their
students, and experience more positivity.
 EXAMPLES OF GOOD CLASSROOM
ROUTINES IN AN ONLINE
CLASSROOM.
Teaching students how to interact
online helps ensure a good
experience for both students and
teachers.
Teachers know the value of
establishing class routines. Good
routines set the foundation for a
productive year, make life easier
for students and teachers, save
time, and improve learning.

 PREPARING
FOR CLASS
·Teachers should provide students
with classroom or meeting codes,
usernames, and passwords as early
as possible, and should use the same
usernames for as many applications
as possible.
 COMMUNICATING
WITH PARENTS OR
GUARDIANS
Parent communication is also important. Email,
phone, text, and apps like Facebook messenger
or google meet are all appropriate. It’s a good
idea to provide parents with access
information digitally and in hard copy. Don’t
forget to establish office hours so that you’re
not inundated with phone calls at all hours of
the day.
 COMING TO
CLASS
Encourage students to arrive about five minutes before class begins so that
they have time to connect to the internet and verify that video and audio are
working.
Students learning online should know how to turn microphones and cameras on
or off as directed. Teach students how they should make their presence
known. If you want them to enter quietly, show them how. There are many
options for signing in, including chat boxes saying “Hi” or ‘Present” together
with their names.
Have a Dress Code.
Students without online access can communicate with the teacher via phone,
email, or text. They should check in daily to verify that they are completing
assignments.
 ADD VISUAL CUES TO YOUR
LESSONS
In a virtual classroom, you control
what students are looking at in a
more direct way than an in-person
class, and you can use that to your
advantage. As you’re sharing your
screen, making slides, or even picking
your webcam background, decide on
visual cues that can indicate particular
actions.
 DECIDE ON SIGNALS
When it comes to virtual classroom
management, it’s not as easy for
students to raise their hands or
teachers to use physical routines such
as singing a song or clapping a rhythm.
Work with the class to agree on signals
that can work even when a student is
muted.
 Teachers need to set expectations for both
synchronous and asynchronous participation.
PARTICIPATING important to set rules about being kind and It’s
IN CLASS respectful, especially in an online setting.
During synchronous learning, direct students to
minimize distractions. They should close other
windows and resist using other devices.
Teachers should remind students that class rules
apply in those settings and have clear policies about
what happens if students break the rules. Chats are
recorded, providing a history of everything
students share.
Teachers should model how to post on discussion forums and
provide examples for offering feedback or writing comments.
Students without technology will need to receive handouts of
class discussion forums. They can respond directly on the
handouts.
Students can use the questions or comments box during group
lessons. Teachers should model how to post appropriate questions
and comments.
Be sure to provide opportunities for active learning. It’s easy to
lecture or assign a video or reading passage online. But true
learning occurs when kids do something with the information.
Providing opportunities for active learning helps set the
expectation that students must participate in their learning.
Give students time to complete asynchronous tasks, which could
include recording a video presentation or answering an activity.
Explain how these items will be shared and assessed.
 LEAVING CLASS
Teachers should discourage
students from leaving early.
Encourage students to exit class
calmly.
Remind them to sign out of
programs to protect privacy.
REMINDER:
The best practices from in-person learning
apply to distance learning: Model expectations,
provide reminders, and give students ample
opportunity to practice. And remember to give
students grace as we all adapt to a new learning
environment.

ROUTINES IN A
PHYSICAL
CLASSROOM

 Entry and Exit
Routines
Explicitly explain to students how you want them to line
up outside the door before entering the classroom. Also,
explain what they should do once they’ve entered the
classroom. This ould be putting equipment away/getting
equipment out, sitting at their desks or on the floor.
The same needs to happen for the end of the learning
activity. Explicitly explain to students that the teacher
will direct them to pack up. Further, explain how
equipment/books will be collected and how they will be
dismissed.
 Gaining Student
Attention
You need to establish a strategy
for gaining students’ attention. For
example, with infants, it may be
repeating a simple clapping rhythm
for them to copy, or using a
keyword or phrase such as ‘freeze’
or ‘eyes to me’. Identifying the
students who are not paying
attention by name can also have an
impact.
 Gaining Teacher
Attention
You need to set clear expectations of
how students can get your attention.
This could be as simple raising their hand
or using a sign. You may need to
establish different methods for
different lessons and this will be an
individual thing.
 Collection and
Distribution of Materials
Different systems work but SOME
sort of system is needed. This could be
using colour-coded trays for books.
Labelled trays and containers on desks
and sideboards for equipment such as
pens, pencils, textas, paint, brushes etc.
 Classroom roles and
responsibilities
Create a set of classroom jobs
and rotate students through
these. This will foster a sense of
responsibility in students. It will
also ensure order and routine in
the classroom (you won’t have
10 kids running to hand out
books, or 5 kids clambering to
turn on/off the lights).
We teach our students
how to behave
by what we stop,
what we ignore,
and what we reinforce.
