the routine periodically can be effective for special days, doing it often causes

students to be unprepared.

3. Define 3-5 classroom rules. It is important that you follow these rules, too. Set the

example for students and let them know they can trust you to keep your word. List

these in your plan.

Focus on some themes or big ideas. For example, respect and integrity are

common values in classroom settings.

Get specific. Big themes are helpful, but only if they are translated into specific

behaviors. For example, respect can be demonstrated through showing up on

time, not interrupting others, keeping cell phones and other electronic devices

put away, and paying attention.

Create the rules together. At the very least, explain your rules and then discuss

them with your class. This allows them to contribute and gives them some

ownership of the class.

2. Incorporate school policies and procedures that are aligned to the positive

behavioral supports plan. Build off these and incorporate your own policies,

procedures and rules to create a positive classroom environment for your students.

4. Explain consequences for breaking those rules. Communicate consequences up

front so students know what to expect when they behave inappropriately. These can be

explained the first day of class, put on a poster in the classroom, or included in the

course syllabus. Be as specific as possible. Then be sure to follow through.

5. Write a contract explaining your rules, consequences, rewards, procedures and

expectations to the students and the parents. Have the parents sign and return a

copy of this contract stating that they understand and have read the contract.
