In The Classroom

I feel that you have to start by Building Community in Your Classroom right from day one.
Classroom Rules/Expectations Develop your class rules/expectations with your students. Periodically review them.  Use it as a teaching lesson about amendments to the Constitution.  Use a similar process to add or change rules for your classroom.
One rule system: "No one has the right to interfere with the learning, safety, or well being of another student."

Make sure you let your students know that they matter. My You Matter page
