Writing a class pledge or promise
Many effective teachers involve students in writing a class pledge or promise. This
strategy helps create a shared sense of responsibility for the classroom, respect for self and
others, and an overall culture of learning. It also is a great way to reinforce students’
responsibility for the management of the classroom

Establishing Overall Classroom
Rules and Procedure

Many teachers engage their students in establishing

overall classroom rules and procedures. For example,
you might facilitate a discussion at the beginning of the
year about when it is appropriate and not appropriate
for students to leave their seats, emphasizing the
importance of demonstrating politeness and respect for
others
 Asking students to sign the pledge further
reinforces student buy-in and responsibility. A
class promise can also be communicated in
other form
In addition to—or in place of—a class pledge or
promise, some teachers establish a few briefly
worded rules for general classroom behavior. In
general, classroom rules, such as those in
Figure 1.3,deal with respect, politeness, and
consideration, but other general rules also help
keep the classroom safe and more conducive
to learning.
to general rules for classroom behavior, some teachers
create graphics or posters that emphasize the
importance of character or specific personal
characteristics, such as honesty, integrity, or respect
Consistently Reinforcing Norms
Model the procedures for students, or ask
students to participate in modeling.

Provide time for students to talk or write about why rules and
procedures for general classroom behavior might be
important and useful. Provide feedback to students about the
extent to which they are following the rules and procedures
so they can refine, improve, or correct their behavior

Provide feedback to students about the extent to which they

Beginning and Ending the Period or the
Day
● What is Beginning and Ending the Period or the Day ?

● One way to get the most instructional time out of the day or class
period is to establish rules and procedures for how you begin and
end your time with students.
Transitions and
Interruptions

• Establishing rules and procedures for recurring situations

• Practicing transitions and potential interruptions
• Engaging students as leaders during transitions and interruptions
Establishing Rules and Procedures for
Recurring Situations

Rules and procedures can be very simple and straightforward—

perhaps as simple as a particular comment you make or a signal you
give just before a break in the learning process.
Practicing Transitions and Potential
Interruptions

One way to ensure that students automatically know and recall what
to do is to give them opportunities to practice routines and to take
time to reinforce expected behaviors. In fact, the point of fire and
disaster drills is to make routines automatic, which is critically
important if a true disaster situation were to arise.

Similarly, you may find that students

need a great deal of structure when
moving from one learning center to the
next
 Engaging Students as Leaders During
Transitions and Interruptions

One way to ease transition times and build

student buy-in is to have students take Student leadership roles such as these can be rotated from day to day or
leadership roles. week to week to give more students an opportunity to share responsibility
for the management of the classroom.
