Now for today's episode.
Hello, hello, hello, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Lazy Learning Land Podcast.
(01:11):
I am S.Dot. When I tell you I have a great episode for you today titled,
Don't Be a Fool, Post Your Classroom Rules.
Now, you guys want to stay put to the very end because as your host,
I'm going to let you into my game room and I'm going to let you know the golden
rules that I actually post in my classroom.
(01:32):
But before we get into what I do, I'm going to give you the science behind why
I do what I do, when I do, how I do what I do so you can do what I do and it
can help you too. Boo. Boo.
So for my trusty dusties, by now you may know that I barely escaped my first
90 days as a first year teacher.
(01:53):
And if this is your first episode or you did not listen to that episode,
when you are done with this one, I want you to backtrack and go listen to Teacher
Fired in the first 90 days, how they made a classroom come back,
because that is my true story of my first year teaching.
(02:16):
So again, I barely escaped my first 90 days as a first year teacher, still having a job.
The old saying goes, hindsight is 20-20.
And I would say like round about
my fifth year of teaching, I developed a classroom management strategy.
And I didn't develop it because I'm just this super innovative teacher genius,
(02:39):
but I actually came up with it because I was trying to be super lazy.
So the more you stick around, I mean, the name of the podcast is Lazy Learning
Land Podcast because a lot of the things I learned to do because I wanted to
be lazier, but still be a really effective teacher.
And this is just one of those things. But anyways, I decided that I was sick
(03:02):
and tired of being sick and tired of sounding like a broken record,
having to constantly repeat majority of my classroom rules and procedures that
mean the most to me. I call them my golden rules.
So from this annoyment, which is not even a real word,
but for me being annoyed by this Likewise, quite often, I birthed the concept
(03:28):
of don't be a fool, post your classroom rules.
A light bulb went off and I ended up typing each of my golden rules on their own PowerPoint slide.
Now, I ain't gonna tell y'all how many years ago this was, but this was back
when PowerPoint was like on and popping. It was like the hottest thing since I spread.
But I typed them all up on their own PowerPoint slide, printed them out.
(03:53):
Now, and then I glued each slide to its own sheet of construction paper for like a background.
And I stapled them at the front of my classroom, right above my whiteboards,
right by my smart board for my students viewing, as I like to say,
for my students viewing pleasure.
Now, why should you post your classroom rules?
(04:17):
Why is posting your classroom rules a game changer?
Changer well before I get into what my actual
golden rules are let me just break it
down for y'all a little bit about why this was such a game changer
my students don't think
that I'm lying to them or picking on them and I save so much time when I am
(04:39):
able to refer a student to rule number blank like literally I'll call a name
and I'll be like Sasha rule number
seven it helps the revolving door of students that I get because I do,
number one, work in a secondary school and two, I work in the hood.
So I have a revolving door of new students. I lose students, I get students.
(05:01):
And sometimes I get more students than I got space for, but that's a whole nother post.
But anyways, when I get new students during the year, it's easier for them to
learn what my expectations are from their first day entering my class.
And posting the rules helps my students police other students.
So I don't have to work as hard. Duh.
(05:24):
So I just gave y'all like a brief overview of why it's a game changer,
but I'm going to go into a little bit more detail about each one,
just in case you need a little bit more convincing.
I mentioned that it minimizes students thinking that you are picking on them.
And really a top reason why you should consider this strategy for more effective classroom management.
(05:45):
Like I said, I work in the hood, y'all. These kids come with trauma and triggers out the wazoo.
They are easily offended and they tend to think that every time you are addressing
them, redirecting them, they take it as direct criticism.
They take it as an insult. They take it extremely personal. They take everything personal.
So when I'm redirecting a student in regards to one of my golden rules,
(06:09):
I'm able to literally point it out on the wall and it instantly lowers their defenses.
Since I obviously do not have flash speed to staple it on the wall in 0.2 seconds,
the student is aware that what I am addressing with them is indeed a rule and
(06:29):
it is also a rule for everyone else.
Well, the funniest part to me, y'all, truly in real time,
when I point to the rule on the wall is to see that particular student's face
and their body loosen up and become less tense.
You literally get to see their defenses and their guard drop because they realize,
(06:53):
oh, she's really not picking on me. She's not teasing me.
Oh, this is this really is a rule for everybody. Let me bring it down before I make a fool of myself.
And another one. So posting your golden rules makes reviewing your classroom
rules much easier, much faster, and much more effective.
(07:16):
I save so much time by having these rules posted.
The very first week of school, I review my golden rules directly off the front
wall of my classroom, literally every day the first week of school.
School the second week of school I also repeat them
not every day kind of like every other day
because I do get multiple schedule changes
(07:38):
again I'm in the secondary I'm in high school so if
you're in middle school or high school you know those guidance counselors are
changing schedules those first weeks of school and it
is really helpful to review the rules when we
return after any break as well that's more than
three days so if we have more than a three-day break in my county
we get the full week of thanksgiving off we get two and a half weeks
(07:59):
off for the winter break we get that full week for
spring break look when you step up back in my classroom after
a break that's more than a three-day weekend we're going over my golden rules
because i got to make sure that you know you don't come up in here making up
your own rules because i know you didn't have plenty of time to do what the
heck you want to do when you want to do it how you want to do it why you want
to do it but we got to hone it in because we got rules in here and expectation expectation.
(08:24):
So it makes it way easier, way faster to review those the first weeks of school,
but also after those longer breaks.
And truth be told, like in a Title I school, that roster is a title,
that roster is a revolving door.
Students are constantly withdrawing, they're constantly enrolling, so on and so forth.
(08:46):
So it's just really helpful to have that because it saves you time from having
to sit there and give every new kid orientation when they came on a day that
you're supposed to be teaching a lesson.
Yes, that's hard. That's hard. But whenever I do receive a new student,
I go through the usual formalities of introductions, what I need them to do in my class that day.
(09:09):
But after that, I tell them, hey, go ahead, take a moment, read these.
These are my golden rules right here at the top of the board.
They're posted right here. I need you to take a moment to read any of them.
If you have any questions, ask me or a student that's sitting next to you,
a classmate that's sitting by you.
And sometimes I'll even assign them like a buddy, like a buddy partner, buddy system,
(09:29):
buddy student, buddy classmate to not only go over the classroom golden rules
with them, but to help them kind of get acclimated for that day so that they
can just kind of blend in a lot easier and not feel so uncomfortable.
Comfortable but either way whether the student themselves is reading it or another
student that's been in my class is helping them to get acclimated it just makes
(09:53):
that transition process so much easier.
Now, we've talked about in some other posts what a perfect classroom looks like.
And we've stated that in a perfect classroom, students are self-regulated.
They regulate themselves and they regulate each other.
And by posting your classroom rules, students will self-correct.
(10:18):
I ain't gonna lie to y'all. I know I joke a lot. I know I be throwing jabs and
stuff about certain things, but I legitimately have the medical condition of
asthma. And so every breath I take is priceless.
Having those classroom rules posted literally saves me breath that I cannot get back.
All I have to do is call the student's name, say the rule number,
(10:41):
maybe even point to it if I'm feeling spicy.
And then I get to see that student turn their attention to the front of the room.
By the time they look for the rule, read and process the rule,
the student usually apologizes or says, okay, miss, that's an apology in the
hood. If you didn't know.
Okay, miss. And then after that, they self-correct and class goes on.
(11:04):
Hashtag goals, confrontation avoided, and the flow of the class is minimally interrupted.
Point blank period. How easy is that? Hit the easy button, right?
Now, the other side to that is students redirect other students.
My final reason that this is a game changer, is that it allows students to police other students.
(11:27):
And if the students policing the students and the teacher don't have to police
the students because the students is policing the students. You see what I'm
saying? See how that works.
Work smarter, not harder. Again, I'm probably more lazy than I am innovative,
but my laziness inspires this innovation that I share with you today.
(11:48):
Over time, I hear students telling other students, hey, raise your hand,
that's rule number four.
Insert eye roll by the student that's policing the other student because they're
aggravating because they just feel like you've been in this class long enough
to know that, duh. The student that has been redirected, you know what?
(12:08):
They just kind of fall into place because they realize, you know what?
I am wrong. I am out of compliance. And there's no back and forth there.
So the student-to-student redirection is endless. And it happens throughout the entire school year.
And it literally makes my job so much easier and minimizes the broken record
(12:30):
syndrome, at least in that department.
So what are my classroom rules?
All right, enough about why you
should post your classroom rules at the front of your room to be exact.
But it is time to get into what are mine.
So in a separate blog, I will go into more details in a separate blog,
(12:54):
separate podcast because I do two both.
I will go into detail about golden
rules for the secondary classroom and the types of golden rules
that you should have like the structure and how you
make each of those structures work for your personality type is your own thing
but I do talk about the different structured rules like category rules you should
(13:16):
have and then I go into detail about what mine are and why they are the way
they They are just to give you guys a soundboard, a trampoline to kind of bounce ideas,
take what you like and whatever. So again, look forward to that.
It'll be called Golden Rules for the Secondary Classroom.
For now, I'm just going to list the rules that I do have for my classroom.
(13:38):
And by absolutely no means do you have to adopt mine.
My personal preferences and my pet peeves are different from yours.
So feel free to keep what applies and trash your denies.
Again, keep what applies and trash your denies.
(13:59):
Rule number one, be on time. Number two, no food or drink except water that
is clear and doesn't fizz.
And yes, I have to clarify that.
Number three, get all materials out and ready before the tardy bell.
(14:20):
Rule number four, raise a quiet hand for permission to speak or to get out of your seat.
Number five, you get two, count
them, one, two, you get two four-minute restroom passes each nine weeks.
(14:41):
Number six, no use of personal electronics.
Number seven, this classroom is a nap-free zone.
Number eight, stay on task and talk on topic only.
Number 10, attempt all problems assigned.
(15:05):
Number 11, make a way, not an excuse. use.
And number 12, respect yourself, respect adults, and respect your peers.
And conclusion, don't be a fool. Post your classroom rules.
(15:26):
So overall, don't be a fool. Post your classroom rules is a must, y'all. It is a must.
The amount of sanity you will be saving is definitely worth it.
The reduction, the reduction of sounding like a broken record is absolutely
(15:46):
worth the little extra effort.
When students know your redirection is not personal, that goes a long way in preventing flare-ups.
When all you have to do is say a name and a rule number, that is efficient classroom
management because you can do that in one breath and go back to your lesson.
(16:08):
When you have new students and they are able to fall in line with the rest of
the class effortlessly, and when you have students correcting other students,
you are hashtag winning at this classroom management game.
But seriously, you don't have to take my word for it. Give it a try and see
(16:29):
if it makes a difference in your classroom.
Every teacher I have mentored up to this point swears by it.
And I am confident you will too.

Again, keep what applies and trash your denies.
(13:59):
Rule number one, be on time. Number two, no food or drink except water that
is clear and doesn't fizz.
And yes, I have to clarify that.
Number three, get all materials out and ready before the tardy bell.
(14:20):
Rule number four, raise a quiet hand for permission to speak or to get out of your seat.
Number five, you get two, count
them, one, two, you get two four-minute restroom passes each nine weeks.
(14:41):
Number six, no use of personal electronics.
Number seven, this classroom is a nap-free zone.
Number eight, stay on task and talk on topic only.
Number 10, attempt all problems assigned.
(15:05):
Number 11, make a way, not an excuse. use.
And number 12, respect yourself, respect adults, and respect your peers.
And conclusion, don't be a fool. Post your classroom rules.
(15:26):
So overall, don't be a fool. Post your classroom rules is a must, y'all. It is a must.
The amount of sanity you will be saving is definitely worth it.
The reduction, the reduction of sounding like a broken record is absolutely
(15:46):
worth the little extra effort.
When students know your redirection is not personal, that goes a long way in preventing flare-ups.
When all you have to do is say a name and a rule number, that is efficient classroom
management because you can do that in one breath and go back to your lesson.
(16:08):
When you have new students and they are able to fall in line with the rest of
the class effortlessly, and when you have students correcting other students,
you are hashtag winning at this classroom management game.
But seriously, you don't have to take my word for it. Give it a try and see
(16:29):
if it makes a difference in your classroom.
Every teacher I have mentored up to this point swears by it.
And I am confident you will too.
And a little sidebar, if you happen to be looking for some secondary math activities
that are risk-free, no grading, fully digital, color-changing feedback for your students,
