Classroom Rules

Rules

  1. Be respectful to yourself and others.

  2. Listen when someone is speaking.

  3. Follow classroom procedures.

  4. Take care of materials and classroom space.

  5. Try your best and participate.


Explanation of Rule Creation and Reinforcement

  • During the first week, rules and procedures will be explicitly taught using visual examples posted in the classroom.

  • Students will practice routines for the first week to first month to build behavioural stamina.

  • If rules or procedures are broken, instruction will pause → discuss behaviour → practice again.

  • Routines will be reinforced throughout the year.


Support for Students Who Struggle

Younger grades: behaviour colour chart system.

Older students: verbal warning progression system/ behaviour chart

Warning progression:

1. First reminder

2. Discussion check-in

3. Intervention or private conference
