And our classroom will be a kinder, safer, more peaceful community when we set these clear expectations. 

But too many rules are overwhelming and hard to remember. 

If we want to set super clear expectations for students, then our list of rules has to be short, easy to remember, and easy to follow. 

These two classroom rules are appropriate for our Preschool Classrooms, K-5 classrooms, middle school classrooms and high school classrooms.

So to cover all things, we only need two rules: 

1. Be Kind
2. Follow Directions the First Time 

The Be Kind Rule covers everything that involves how they interact with their friends, their classmates, and the adults in our school.

If we want to teach compassionate students and ensure a positive classroom environment so everyone feels safe to learn, and is anti-bullying, we have to make kindness a classroom rule. 

We also need our students to follow directions and be first-time listeners. 

First Time Listening is the act of hearing me say something and listening the first time–before I have to say it again.

It applies to everything from lining up, to turning to the right page, or partnering up to collaborate. 

These are the rules that keep them safe and make them easier to teach because I don’t have to spend as much time repeating myself.

How to Use the Classroom Rules posters:

Purchase and download the posters

Choose the version you want in your classroom and print the poster on 11 x 17 paper. 

Hang up the poster in your classroom and talk about the rules with your students. 

Remind the students of your classroom rules often, especially when they leave your classroom.

This course is designed for K-5 Elementary school classrooms and counselors, but can absolutely be adapted to Pre-K and middle school campuses. 

When you sign up, you will be invited to our private LIVE zoom call trainings, once a week for 6 weeks. If you can’t make it, the recorded version will be available to you. The calls will be Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm Central (5:30 pm Pacific, 8:30 pm Eastern) for one hour: June 2, June 9, June 16, June 23 (skip the week of June 30), July 7, and July 14th. 

My responsibilities: give you the tools and systems and resources that will allow classroom educators, counselors and administrators build meaningful SEL curriculum into everyday lessons so kindness becomes a habit and everyone feels safe to learn at school. This is NOT ‘a wouldn’t kindness be nice to have?‘ course. Instead, this is a ‘here’s how to step by step make kindness happen, actively prevent bullying, and fit it in with your current curriculum and busy schedules without losing your mind‘ course. 

Your responsibilities: Show up to the training and give me weekly feedback so I can make the training even more comprehensive and user-friendly before I launch it and open it up to other educators. Your job is to tell me what I need to expand on and to ask me questions I didn’t think to answer that would be helpful to you and your colleagues (I’ve been out of the classroom for a few years and need YOUR input!) 

*Check with your administration to see if these hours apply for continuing education. I will be happy to verify hours.  

When the course is published and launched, it will sell for $59. But right now, you can join us and get all of the exact same information, tools, and printable resources for only $17.99. 

I hope you’ll join us and learn strategies to start the school year off on the right foot because our world (our classrooms, our school environments, our communities, our world at large) needs more kind kids. With 20+ kids in our classroom each year, you have the power to make that happen.

And with this Teaching Kind Kids course, you’ll have the resources to make that happen.
