Not Enough Structure…. Not Enough Personal Responsibility….

What is a Rule? • Rules MUST be responded to with a CONSEQUENCE. • Rules are general expectations or standards of behavior. • If rules are broken, these behaviors stop a teacher from teaching and students from learning. What is a Procedure? • Procedures are expectations for specific behaviors. • Procedures are the classroom structure. • Procedures are the “how” we do things in the classroom.
