Create Rules For Your Classroom

楊慶春

沒有規矩，不成方圓。作為學校，為了秩序井然，必須有校規，班級也要有班規。那么如何制定合理的班規，制定班規又有什么意義呢？

As a teacher， you need to create rules for your classroom. But how can you make your students want to follow the rules？ Give them a hand in creating those rules！ Here’s how to do it.

Start with a list of the main points， and then， through thoughtful discussion， work with your students to create a set of rules expressed in their language. Use this list as a starting point.

＊Treat others as you would like to be treated.

＊Respect（尊重）other people and their things.

＊Laugh with anyone but laugh at no one.

＊Pay attention to your own learning.

＊Come to class and hand in homework on time.

Most teachers agree that it’s best to choose only a few rules—those leading to successful learning and a great environment. It’s too hard to remember a long list！ Make your rules as clear and specific（明確的）as possible. Then decide with your students’ help what the punishment will be for breaking those rules.

Teach the rules as you would have a common lesson. It should be your first lesson. Discuss each rule， explain the idea behind it， and ask for examples of how it could be broken. Tell your students that rules help make everyone’s time in school more enjoyable， and use examples to explain this. The rules can also be posted（張貼）as a reminder（提示）and each student is advised to take a copy of the rules home.
