The majority of teachers, if not all of them, have classroom rules. The problem with these rules is that they make the classroom into a dictatorship.I was talking to some friends the other day and they suggested making rules for everyone: including the teacher.
Here's what we came up with. Simple, but it gets the point across. You could try doing something similar with your classes and have your students make the rules.
For the students
- Come on time
- Do your homework
- Speak in English
For everyone
- Listen to each other
- Respect each other
- Remember that it's ok to make mistakes
For the teacher
- Finish class on time
- Mark papers and exams within a week
- Give advanced notice of tests
