Classroom Management – Rules and Goals

A great way to get students involved in creating your classroom management plan is to have them help you decide what the rules and goals of your classroom should be. Have students spend some time brain storming ideas and write them on the board as they come up with them. They can also create consequences and rewards for when goals are met and rules are broken.

Once completed create a visual to hang in the room. This might be one poster with everything on it, one poster for rules and consequences and one for goals and rewards, or even a poster for each rule and each goal. Have your students split into groups to create and decorate the posters or allow them to decorate the one large poster with everything on it.

      

Now students are guaranteed to know what the rules are since they helped to create them! This gives them a visual reminder of each rule and what happens when they disobey them. They also have a positive visual of goals and what rewards they will receive when goals are met.
