Throughout my observations in classrooms, I have noticed that many teachers create their classroom rules with students during the first week of school. The teacher will display a big sheet of paper to the class, and ask the students what they think the rules should be. What do you think of this method? Is it effective towards classroom management? Or should teachers make the rules solely by themselves based off of their preferences? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Through my experience, I think this is effective. Students will be much more likely to follow the rules if they feel like they had a hand in making them... classroom democracy. Teachers can easily redirect and sort of "translate" student rules into effective classroom rules.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Students should be allowed to give their input for some of the class rules. The teacher should have some rules preset, but should encourage the students to set some rules, with reason. Rated On: October 30, 2023 4:23 pm Rated By: Ethan Page
