Teaching Self-Discipline
$ 33.60
Teachers and students work together to name individual goals for the year and establish rules that will help everyone reach those goals.
Students with a say in the classroom rules are more likely to be invested in following them. This sense of ownership strengthens relationships with peers and increases accountability.
During the first days and weeks of the school year, begin by having students generate hopes and dreams about what they want to learn and improve. Using those goals, create classroom rules that allow everyone to do their best learning. Revisit the rules continually during the school year to reflect and evaluate.
