What are ground rules?
These are a set of rules or code of conduct for the classroom that are based on respect and safety for all members of the environment. They are formulated to give children the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom. When a child breaks a ground rule, the teacher will respond immediately, with firm, but reasonable expectations and without condescension, so that child feels they are part of a collaborative environment but also experiences the necessary consequence to let them be successful in the future.
