Discussion Question 1.
How are classroom procedures different than classroom rules? Explain what it means to teach, model, and practice your procedures along with your beliefs on when procedures should be taught. Please include detailed examples on how procedures and rules might affect a student’s level of achievement in your future classroom.
*Please answer 2 different ways.
- In reference to the DQ 1 this is a peer responses. Please response to it:
Peer response. Both refer to stated expectations about students’ behavior, but the terms differ in important ways. A rule identifies general expectations or standards; a single rule can encompass a wide range of expected behaviors. A procedure communicates expectations for specific behaviors. Procedures are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and learning. I do not have rules in my classroom. Rules are made to be broken. All students will be held to high expectations. Some expectations that I have are:
- Be a good listener
- Raise your hand
- Respect each other/property
- Take care of our equipment.
- Be prepared

3.About the DQ1 this is a peer response. Please respond to it. Peer wrote :
“I talk very little about rules. A procedure is not a rule. A procedure is a task. Procedures reduce the need for rules and discipline.” – Harry K. Wong
This quote really spoke to me for this question and it has had a great deal of influence on my response. Rules seem, to me, to largely be the things that you cannot do within a particular environment. It may stretch to the do or don’t, but I feel like it’s largely the “don’t do” of the room/school. A procedure, however, are the steps to accomplish tasks. Procedures are for jobs. Procedures aren’t fair or unfair. Procedures are professional. Procedures cannot be broken. Procedures are a mandatory undertaking for all involved.
I feel that, additionally, procedures are in place for all members of the learning community. As a teacher I can say that I will: have the assignments on the board prior to the start of the class, plan an accommodating lesson, greet my students at the door, provide a safe comfortable environment, etc. It really affects the sense of respect and equality within the room and gives students a sense of control, respect and self-reliance.
Please respond to their answer.
- Please respond to what the peer wrote in reference to the DQ 1.
Classroom procedure are different than classroom rules because rules are set for class management and good behavior. Rules have consequences! Procedures don’t. Procedures are to show students what is expected of their daily routine and procedures of the classroom. They both allow students to know what is expected and how they should behave. To teach is by example and be a good role model. Teachers need to say what they mean, mean what they say and do what they said they would do. Rules and procedure should always be practice. As a teacher we will practice classroom procedures until they become routines and reteach incorrect ones. Have a positive, safe and respectful classroom and will show my students that I believe in them. Students will want to try harder when they feel welcomed, respected and knowing someone believes in them.
