Teachers have told me to give a maximum of three instructions at a time with a descriptive word of how they want something done. E.g. Enter the classroom quietly.

Maintaining respect at the centre of all interactions. The way students speak and interact with each other, the teacher and the way they carry themselves in the classroom. More importantly it also ensures regulation with how the teacher behaves and treats students too.
Respectful environment usually builds foundation for rapport and trust

I open with class discussion about how the art studio classroom looks and feels different to most other classrooms. Then we develop 3 rules together to stay safe, engaged and respectful. If there are more than three, class votes.

Discuss what the student's (and teacher's) rights are in the classroom (e.g., learning, feeling safe) and discussing what the relevant responsibilities of each person are...

School wide or class specific routines for entering the room

I have seen a teacher establish classroom expectations by have students create their own set of class rules.
They are then numbered and referred to by their number, which made it easy for the teacher to remind students

A great tip I was given, was to give 4 rules of expectations when entering a brand new class and stick to those rules so students remember what behaviours you expect from them

Schools usually have an established mantra you van draw on yo establish expectations with school values (maybe resilience, respect, etc)

Routines, routine transitions, give them options, building expectations together l, what do they expect of you as the teacher, talking about class rules and what your class rules are , clarifying expectations and reminding students of those e.g. This lesson you can hands up, this lesson I will call on you at random etc. Gestures/signs/visual cues.

Having the class expectations on the start of each PowerPoint, don’t read them out every lesson but when they aren’t met you can refer back to them throughout the lesson. Bonus is that if the class expectations need to be revisited it’s already there to use.

# data[].attributes.body
Create a class contract on the overall expectations that both you as the teacher, and students as the learners, have for their classroom environment. Ensure that students values and opinions are heard and recognised as well, but utilising a teacher-led procedure for creating such a contract allows you to ensure that expectations are appropriate and satisfactory.

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen teachers reinforce expectations in the classroom by referring to the 5 rules on the wall, in every classroom. it is universal across the whole school and creates constancy among expectations of students - regardless of their age

Put them on the PowerPoint at the beginning of every lesson. Made the students read it outloud and would flick back to it throughout the lesson. Just want to note this was for very very disruptive inappropriately behaving classes.

Having cues for expected behaviours which the class chooses

Students can choose an aural or visual cue which the teacher does to get an expected behaviour. For example, the students choose a song that the teacher plays to get kids to sit on the floor.

Students discuss and create the rules

Have students model the expected behaviour by selecting some students to role play classroom situations and the expectations

# data[].attributes.body
Create a list of classroom rules where the students offer up suggestions. The teacher can present a series of sentences with key nouns/verbs/adjectives removed where students offer suggestions.

For example:

In our classroom all students are __________ towards each other and __________ to the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
Set expectations for yourself as well. If you do not trust students to make appropriate expectations verbalise them yourself. E.g. I expect of myself that I come to every lesson prepared with the worksheets and information you need to know.

Write up a contact on class expectations and print it out and have all students sign it and keep it. Refer back to the contract to remind them when required.

When a student does something kind in class, single them out and say how cool they are.
If a student is rude say something along the lines of “that’s not cool”
Student are more likely to be nice because they want to be ‘cool’

Get students involved in establishing the classroom rules

# data[].attributes.body
For a prep classroom I might begin with asking them to describe how they would like to feel in the classroom, drawing on language like “being kind to others” etc. then asking questions like “how can we be safe”… and collectively coming up with a set of friendly rules that reflect their language.  This might then involve them drawing some instances of following those rules and even acting these out through role play. Or watching a video that illustrates these rules from the point of view of students

# data[].attributes.body
Children draw what they want their classroom to look/sound/feel like and we discuss as a class what expectations we can put in place to achieve that
