Frequently asked questions

How do you set effective classroom rules?
The most effective classroom rules are few, positively framed and genuinely shared. Keep them to a handful that children can remember, and phrase them as what to do ('we listen when others are speaking') rather than a list of don'ts, which sets a kinder, clearer tone. Crucially, agree them with the class rather than imposing them — when children help shape the rules, they understand and own them far more, and you can refer back to 'our rules' rather than yours. Display them prominently, revisit them regularly (especially early in the year), and pair them with consistent, fair follow-through. Laminating the poster means it lasts the year and can be reused. Edit the wording to suit your age group and setting.
