3. RULES
• A rule identifies general expectations or standards for
behavior.
– Eg: “Respect other persons and their property”
• covers a large set of behaviors that should always be
practiced.
• Rules frequently indicate unacceptable behavior as well as
expected, appropriate behavior, although teachers sometimes
manage to write rules that are only positively stated
– Eg:“We ask permission before talking in class”. In such
instances the unacceptable behavior is implied “Don’t talk
without permission”).
4. • In addition to general rules, many teachers will have
a rule or two governing a specific behavior that could
become an issue or that they want to prevent
– Eg :“Gum chewing is allowed,” or “Gum chewing is
not allowed”
5. RULES
• There are three steps to construct the rules :
knows about the school regulation
plans the classroom rules
involve students when planning the classroom
rules
6. Example of classroom rules :
• Come to school on time.
• Bring what you need with you.
• Listen to the teacher.
• Follow directions.
• Be kind to others.
7. PROCEDURES
• Procedures are the expected students behaviour
which is applied for specific activities focus on
achievement of students
• Unlike rules, which can involve students in their
establishment, procedures are determined by the
teacher.
• Procedures involve :
transition to enter and going out from the classroom
use of area in the classroom
cooperative group activities
small group work
8. PROCEDURE
• Procedures also communicate expectations for
behaviour.
• They are usually applied in a specific activity, and they
are usually directed at accomplishing something rather
than prohibiting some behaviour or defining a general
standard.
• For example, you will set up procedures with your
students for collecting assignments, turning in late
work, participating in class discussions, using the
bathroom, and so on.
9. • Some procedures (such as use of equipment
at a centre) are sufficiently complex or critical
that you may want to post guidelines in
addition to discussing them with the students.
• However, many procedures are not written
because they are very simple or because their
specificity and frequency of use allow
students to learn them rapidly.
10. • Marlene and Lee Canter’s style of assertive discipline that involves
including the students in the rule writing process.
• When the teacher is writing the rules, he/she asks the students for input
and rules that they think would be appropriate for the classroom and then
compiles a list of these rules to post in the classroom.
• This form of rulemaking establishes a type of responsibility in the
students.
• It helps the students take ownership in their own behaviour when they
create the class rules.
• First day of class, held a class meeting to brainstorm about classroom
rules, in which the students will give their input on the rules they wish to
see govern their classroom.
20. Definition
• Ellen C. Frede : “Challenging behaviour is any
repeated pattern of behaviour that interferes
with learning or engaging in social interactions’’.
• This includes unresponsiveness to
developmentally appropriate guidance and
actions such as prolonged tantrums, physical and
verbal aggression, disruptive vocal and motor
behaviour, property destruction, self-injury,
noncompliance and withdrawal.

challenging in a classroom are:
• Not listening to the teacher

• Avoiding homework deliberately
• Excessive talking with friends
• Using different tactics to delay class work
22. • • Roaming about in the class
• Hitting or teasing
• Bullying
• Stealing

• Too many instructions given in the course of
one lesson

24. • These include:
1. Fights between parents
2. A sick parent
3. A new addition to the family
4. Economic issues
5. Being neglected at home
6. Death in the family
25. Strategies for dealing with challenging
behaviour
• Planning - research and plan your approach
to each class and the individuals that present
challenging behaviour
• Have your own sets of rules and
communicate your expectations of the class.
• Follow the schools behaviour policy.
• Keep things light and sidestep minor
disruption with humour.
26. • Praise good behaviour.
• Try to keep the pace of the lesson high.
• Put trouble makers outside the door for a
few moments to cool off.
• Use a reward system.
• Plan stimulating and interesting activities
into the lesson. Tell interesting stories.
27. • Build a treat like part of a video or a quiz as a
reward for getting work done and good
