How would you organize classroom rules to assist with overall positive communication between teachers and students?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answers to this question will vary but should include elements of the following: Explain the consequences and rules upfront. Have no more than four to six rules; too many is difficult to monitor. State rules in positive manner: “Follow directions” versus “ Do not go off on your own.” Rules need to be observable: “ Be respectful” is too vague; instead “raise your hand when you want to be called on” is better and is observable therefore measurable. Involve students in the rule making as they need to have a voice.
