Table 3: Reframing Classroom Rules

Discuss classroom rules with your MST. Identify any other rules which need to be
made explicit. Frame all rules using positive language. Identify how these rules are
being reinforced during the school day and note opportunities to teach these rules
Construct your own means of recording this. E.g. Table 3 below.

Table 3: Example Reframing Classroom Reframing Rules Record Sheet

Classroom rules Reframe using Opportuinities to teach these
positive language rules
(both observed and ideas of your own)
1. Dont run in the Walk carefully in the Picture signs on display
classroom classroom Teacher praises children who are
following this rule
Teacher asks children how they
should walk in the classroom
During circle time the teacher asks
the children to think about what
might happen if this rule is not
followed

Before start the lesson they should
set like a rule and if they will not set
I will tell them to cross they leg.
I will focus with the students who
sleep while Im teaching and tell
them to be with me or you should to
sleep early.

Discuss visual means of representing these rules

with your MST to be developed and introduced to
the

children over the next three weeks for example.

Table 4: Reframing Behavioural Characteristics

Discuss the general behavioural characteristics of all the children in your class with
the class teacher and record these in table form. E.g. Table 4 below.

child characteristics help improve
behaviour?
1 Anna She always knocks over She may want to join
other childrens in with other childrens
constructions or tries to play but may not

Reframe these behavioural characteristics and suggestions for improvements.

Table 5: Learning styles

Make notes about activities you observe in the classroom which use the learning
styles below:

Answer the following questions:

Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?

Bodily Kinesthetic, because they like to move their body and dance with the
songs.

Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for the
children?
Because all students have different learning style and teacher should use all
of the learning style to be complete.

Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g. read
a story, listen to a story, act the story, draw the story. Can you find other
examples e.g., math or science.

How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of learning

styles? Give them different activates or teach using all the learning style to children
be perfect in all learning style.
