Quotes Instead of Rules…

Instead of class rules, try something a little bit different.

Our students see a mosaic of rules, procedures, guidelines…

Try something new (if it doesn’t work, you still have your rules, guidelines, and procedures) 🙂

Give students (middle school through high school) quotes instead. Ask them to relate these quotes to life in your classroom.
