Developing Rules, Routines, and Procedures
It is important for an effective teacher to have rules and procedures in class for students and that students fully understand the working expectations. Class rules should be alignedتتوافق مع with both the school’s plan and the school system’s code of student behaviours.
Create and Communicate (Verbally and in Writing) Fair Expectations
· Create a number of rules (three to five) that are clear, specific, and stated positively.
· Involve students in the process of understanding, developing, and establishing rules and procedures.
· Reinforce rules by practising them with students.
Develop Routines and Procedures for Tasks that Occur Regularly
· Identify specific activities and develop a step-by-step procedure for completing the activity .
· Practise these procedures with students.
Set Up a System of Specific Consequences and Rewards
· Be sure consequences are reasonable and logical to the situation.
· Be consistent and fair in applying consequences
My own commentAs we know there is a confusion among some words in methodology but a way from methodology , I want to tell you simply from my point of view that :Procedures are the series of steps you follow in a regular , organized way to do something .for example when you teach a listening **** , you should follow the same steps in teaching it in every unit . this will help weak students to know what they will do in this task because this will lead to a routine or the exercise becomes usual for them.A technique is a special way of doing something or completing a specific task. for example when you teach students a certain word you can use drawing ( drawing here is a technique of explaining the word)Routine means that when you do something every day ,it will become a habit and a usual thing . So when you set up a routine of organizing your period and activities (the same things you do as usual )this will make your students understand and expect what they will do.An approachisdealing with something in a certain way to achieve a certain goal or result . For example we use communicative approach in teaching English. I can say that an approach is the umbrella which covers techniques , procedures , ..etc and this is to achieve an ultimate goal .
Setting classroom rules. At the beginning of the year , ask students to work in small groups to write down rules they think are reasonable regarding the classroom behaviours and the consequences for breaking the rules. Collect and write up a summary of the ideas on a large sheet of paper . Ask students to vote to accept the rules and make a final copy to be hung in the classroom . If the rules come from students , they will be willing to follow them .
· point of view about this point
FirstAs long as students select these rules,they will follow themSecondIf they break rules,ask them to tell you ways of punishmentThirdIf they break these rulesdeprive them from some activities they likeor a role they likee.g., the leader, spokespersonEstablish routines . Starting the class with the class agenda on the board can help students prepare for the day’s class . Set up signals that the students understand – for quiet , for silence and so on .
· Teach students to show their respect for others by listening to what they have to say in group work or when they are reporting to the whole class.
*****
As we know ,if we use these ways of punishment with secondary school students , we reward them by this and they will insist on breaking the rules in this way .
Why do they break rules or class discipline ? For many reasons all teachers know these reasons.
So how can we punish secondary school students who break the rules inside classroom
