    The document provides guidance on creating effective classroom rules, including determining rules, teaching them to students, and outlining the benefits of compliance. It recommends that rules should be: 1) Stated positively to explain what students should do rather than what they shouldn't. 2) Clear so students understand behavioral expectations. 3) Limited to around five to avoid over-controlling students and ensure rules are memorable and enforceable.

    Classroom Management - Practicum

    Creating and Implementing Effective Rules

    • Determining rules, teaching them to students, and


    outlining the benefits of working within them is a
    critical up-front investment.
    • DETERMINING RULES
    • Students need to understand exactly what behaviors
    are allowed, and what behaviors are prohibited.
    Determining Classroom Rules

    • Classroom rules are general standards of conduct


    and should apply to student behavior in ALL
    classroom situations, regardless of the activity.
    • Rules are distinct from procedures, which outline
    specific behaviors during a particular type of
    activity.
    Guidelines

    • Phrase your rules in the form of a positive


    statement.
    • State your rules clearly.
    • Minimize your list of rules (5 is a good number).
    Phrase your rules in the form of a positive statement.

    Rationale
    Positive rules explain what students should be
    doing. Negatively stated rules simply tell
    students what to avoid and challenge students
    to find inappropriate behaviors that fall outside
    the scope of the rule.
    Examples to Follow

    • Respect your classmates in your


    words and actions.
    • Listen when someone else is
    talking.
    • Class time is for class activities.
    Examples to Avoid

    • No disrespectful comments.
    • No talking out of turn.
    • No toys or games in class.
    Rules need to be stated clearly.

    • Rationale
    • Students should be able to
    understand the behavioral
    expectation.
    Examples to Follow

    • Come to class prepared with all required materials.


    • Follow the teacher’s directions.

    • Examples to Avoid
    • Every student will demonstrate habits of a
    responsible learner.
    • Always use appropriate conduct.
    Rules should be few.

    • Rationale
    • Each rule appears more important when there are
    fewer of them. Fewer rules are also easier for
    students to remember and for teachers to enforce.
    Finally, having just a few rules avoids the sense that
    you are trying to control a student’s every movement.
    Examples to Follow

    • Rules such as Class time is for class activities or


    Follow the teacher’s directions address many
    behaviors in one rule.

    • Examples to Avoid
    • No gum, food, drink in class. Bring your homework,
    book, notebook, and pen to class everyday. Be on
    time. No profanity. No leaving the class without
    permission.
