Rules vs. Procedures vs. Expectations

How do you enter the classroom?

• Run to your seat quickly so you won't be counted Tardy.

• Come in talking loudly, on your phone, and just basically DISRUPTIVE!

• Enter classroom quietly and go directly to your assigned seat. Remain quiet until teacher gives directions for the day.

• Enter classroom quietly, go to assigned seat, look for the agenda for the day and begin (remaining quiet until further instructions are given).

When the teacher (that's me...) is talking/speaking, I should be talking too. Is this True or False?

• TRUE

• FALSE

The procedure for asking a question during class is:

• Blurt out my answer or response anytime I wish.

• Raise my hand and wait patiently until the teacher calls on me.

• Make a distracting or disrupting noise to draw attention to myself.

The following answer is a good example/representation of what R-E-S-P-E-C-T should look like:

• Give respect to others only if they respect you.

• Show respect only to those you like and agree with.

• Show respect for the teacher, yourself, and others at all times.

• Interrupting someone before they are done speaking.

The following is a great example of respecting others' property:

• Avoid touching or writing on anything that does not belong to you.

• Taking someone else's things aren't that big of a deal, especially if they're from a friend.

• You are entitled to take whatever you need to do your work. It's all about the grade, right?

• Do to others as they do to you no matter what...

True or False?

A Rule is generally non-negotiable...in other words, it is something you MUST follow.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The following are examples of Procedures EXCEPT:

• Entering and Exiting the classroom.

• Raising hand if you have a question or comment.

• Looking for the daily Agenda upon entering classroom and then following it.

• Untimely talking, laughing, and snoring during class instruction.

Example(s) of a good Expectation is:

• Life is fair.

• I can change him or her.

• Be prepared for class each day. Come with a positive attitude and ready to do your BEST!

• I am going to fail.

If you break a rule...you will have a consequence. T or F?

• True

• False
