Record Keeping

Check school policy on rules (some schools don't encourage use of rules) Think first about the purpose of having rules in your classroom. Make the children aware of why rules are important. Try to implement these when the need to arises - children respond better when 'real' incidents arise. Involve children in deciding on what rules are necessary - you should be mediator, not dictator! Remember who the rules are for! Try to avoid the Don't.... scenario - some children switch off, so make them positive and polite. Remember - it's not just about rules, but behaviour strategies. i.e. What are you going to do if someone calls out? Have strategies ready to use.
