  1. Good afternoon,
  2. my name is Lindsay Mcmillan and today I
  3. will be discussing the importance of classroom rules.
  4. It is very important to have classroom rules displayed
  5. at the very front of the classroom and cover these
  6. on the very first day of class and keep
  7. them reinforced throughout the remainder of the school year.
  8. There are two that we're gonna be focusing on today
  9. and those two are number one, the golden rule,
  10. which is to treat others the way you want to be treated.
  11. And the second one is no cell phones or unapproved
  12. technology unless it is approved by me in the classroom.
  13. The first rule we want to talk about is the golden rule which is how to treat others.
  14. The way you want to be treated.
  15. This goes for all students in the classroom as well as the teacher.
  16. This applies in every aspect of every child's life that
  17. they will go through from their adolescence to adulthood.
  18. It actually will help students understand their behavior expectations and
  19. the consequences of those when they enter the workforce.
  20. So it's important to start training them on this now
  21. versus when
  22. later waiting until later on in life for them to begin.
  23. The second rule is no cell phones or unapproved technology allowed in class.
  24. And the reason why is because they tend to be a distraction in the classroom.
  25. So teachers should really consider the value of
  26. what is being collected with the technology and
  27. how can it best be leveraged in the
  28. classroom with students with parents and also with
  29. data recording for grades.
  30. Another thing to consider too, are the consequences of these actions
  31. and if a student does not abide by these, there will be a series of consequences.
  32. The first will be a verbal warning by me where I will
  33. pull the student aside one on one and have a discussion as
  34. to um what the behavior was that they did wrong and what
  35. will happen as the next consequence if the behavior continues to repeat.
  36. The second consequence is after school detention
  37. and third will be parental involvement where the student will need to fill out
  38. a form and have it signed by the parents to acknowledge what the behavior was
  39. and the next steps that will be corrected and then finally involving the office such
  40. as the principal school psychologist and also
  41. the parents in those discussions as well.
  42. And one final act. I want to make sure that everybody remembers in the classroom
  43. is to pause and reflect before you act because
  44. this will help build a positive student community that is
  45. needed before students enter the real world and begin
  46. careers where they need to work on these skills,
  47. both from a technology perspective, as well as a behavior perspective.
  48. Thank you have a great day
