Classroom Procedures Rules Consequences and Rewards

Part 1: Procedures

Procedure Example:	Entering the Classroom
Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	When the procedure will be:			Assessment /Feedback
Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	Introduced	Modeled	Practised	Assessment /Feedback
To create a classroom environment that is conducive to learning the moment class begins.	1. Walk in quietly (entering a new zone). 2. Get organized before the bell (sharpen a pencil, get homework ready). 3. Begin working quietly on the warm-up (in your notebook with paper labelled).	The teacher will introduce the procedure on the first day of school.	The teacher will model the procedure at the beginning of class for the first week of school.	The teacher and students will repeat when reinforcement is needed or when new students join the class.	The teacher will watch for students who follow the steps correctly and will positively reinforce the students.

Procedure #1	Asking for help

Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	Introduced	Modeled	Practiced	Assessment /Feedback
To minimize distractions during classroom activities	1. Raise your hand 2. Use designated hand signals to ask the teacher for help 3. Proceed quietly if help is granted	The teacher will introduce the hand signals and processes on the first day of school	The teacher will create a chart with the hand signals to always be visible to the students.	The procedure will be practiced in every class as needed.	The teacher will examine the student’s ability to correctly follow the instructions when in need of assistance.

Procedure #2	Starting the classes
Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	When the procedure will be:			Assessment /Feedback
		Introduced	Modeled	Practiced
To begin every class intentionally to create an environment of learning for students.	1. The teacher will greet students 2. Start class on time 3. Give warm-up tasks to transition students to a learning mindset	The teacher will introduce the process at the beginning of the school term.	The teacher will repeat the routine in every class.	The process will be practiced in every class.	The teacher will review how the class starting process has been applied throughout every week

Procedure #3	Restroom use
Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	When the procedure will be:			Assessment /Feedback
		Introduced	Modeled	Practised
To reduce distractions by students going to the restroom during lessons.	1. The student will raise their hand and signal the need for a bathroom break 2. No two students will leave for the bathroom break at the same time	The rules of bathroom breaks will be shared at the beginning of school	The teacher will model the behavior at the beginning of lessons	The process will be practiced every time students need a bathroom break	The teacher will create a bathroom log to monitor restroom breaks

Procedure #4	Asking questions and participation
Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	When the procedure will be:			Assessment /Feedback
		Introduced	Modeled	Practiced
To create an organized classroom that is inclusive for all students’ engagement.	1. The student will raise their hand 2. The teacher will pick the student to speak 3. Students with questions not related to the lesson will write them down and ask after the class	The teacher will explain the question asking procedures at the beginning of school	The questions procedure will be modeled in each class	The class will practice the process during every class activity that involves questions	The teacher will reinforce students who use the process correctly and correct those who do not.

Procedure #5	Ending lessons
Purpose of procedure	Procedure steps or activity	When the procedure will be:			Assessment /Feedback
		Introduced	Modeled	Practiced
To ensure learning for all students.	1. Teacher and students will reflect on learning 2. The teacher will give a summative assessment 3. Students will clean, arrange, and put in supplies used for the lesson in place	The teacher will start the procedures from the first lesson	The process will be modelled in each lesson	The procedure will be practiced at the end of each lesson	The teacher will reinforce students’ contribution to the lesson-ending procedure by rewarding them.

Rationale

The five procedures created above aim to maximize learning and minimize distractions that might hinder learning for some or all students. The first procedure is to ask for help. Without appropriate procedures, students can waste a lot of time asking for assistance in class. Thus, creating simple signals minimizes the time used to ask for help. The second procedure is to start the classes. There needs to be a process for making sure the students are in the right mood for learning (Burden, 2020). For instance, the process involves a quick question to get them in the learning mood. Procedures for restroom use have also been set to make sure that students use the minimum time possible to visit the bathroom if they need to in the middle of a lesson. Additionally, there is a process for asking questions. Some students can participate more than others. It is the teacher’s role to ensure that all students have a chance (Rawlings Lester, Allanson, & Notar, 2017). Thus, they will raise a hand, and the teacher will have a chance to choose all students to ask questions. Lastly, the process for ending lessons aims to ensure all students have achieved learning through a process of engagement and reflection. This process ensures that the students can reflect on what they have learned at the end of the lesson.

Part 2: Rules, Consequences, and Rewards System

List 5 rules and consequences for classroom behaviour. Consequences should be applicable to all rules and get progressively more stringent in order to coach students’ negative behaviours and allow them to demonstrate positive behaviours.

Rules:

1) Students must be seated on their desks as soon as the bell rings

2) No bullying

3) Follow all classroom procedures

4) All assignments and homework must be completed on time

5) No use of swear language

Consequences:

1) Verbal warnings

2) Call parents

3) Lose classroom credit

4) Send to the principal

5) Suspension

Documenting Consequences:

The teacher will have a behaviour book where consequences for each student’s rule-breaking will be recorded.

Reward System

The teacher will have a classroom credit system where students will be awarded points for good behavior. Points will be taken out when there is bad behavior. Students will receive gifts attached to their behaviour scores.

Rationale

This rules, consequences, and rewards plan is based on behavioral theory. This theory argues that behaviours can be modelled through rewards and punishments (Korpershoek et al., 2016). The rules and consequences are modelled to encourage good behaviours by rewarding the students and discourage bad ones by using punishments. The class credits are the main rewards that will be used to encourage good behaviour. On the other hand, different forms of punishments will be used, such as verbal warning, calling parents, losing class credits, sending students to the principal, and suspension in more serious situations. These approaches will help to ensure that students follow the rules.

Question

Classroom Procedures, Rules, Consequences, and Rewards

Students and teachers need to have procedures for everything based on the needs of the particular class. Establishing classroom procedures, rules, consequences, and reward systems helps to optimize time for instruction and allows the learning environment to operate efficiently.
In this assignment, you will create Part 1: “Classroom Procedures” and Part 2: “Rules, Consequences, and Reward Systems.”
