1. What is the difference between a rule and a procedure? What are some examples of each?
Rules are used to set limits and are expectations that the student will follow. Procedures are things that need to get done. A rule is a dare to be broken and a procedure is not. A procedure is walking quickly outside and facing away from the school during a fire drill. Saying the pledge of allegiance in the morning is a procedure, along with having the students do their lunch count. An example of a rule is treating others like you want to be treated, or being a bucket filler, rather than a bucket dumper. Not chewing gum at school is another rule. Rules have consequences when they are broken.

An ineffective teacher creates rules without consequences (both positive and negative). How do you think a classroom like this might operate?
I think a classroom like this would be rather chaotic. I do not think the students who take a teacher like this seriously at all. There would be no reason to follow the rules because there are not reinforcements of any kind. After all, what’s the point? There are no rewards for following the rules, yet no consequences for following the rules, either. The teacher clearly has no control at all. I would suspect not a lot of learning is going on in this classroom.
7. There are no perfect solutions to solving the discipline problem in classrooms. That being said, why would a schoolwide discipline plan be more effective than individual teacher discipline plans?
I think schoolwide discipline plans are great because this takes the guess work out of what is being expected on each other. A student in kindergarten knows what the rules are, just like a 5th grader does. There would be a consistent plan that is followed by everyone. Consistency is the key!

In order for students to effectively learn procedures, they must physically engage in the process.
5. What expectations should you have for a new student in class who is not aware of classroom procedures? How do you quickly get this student up to speed?
I would give the new student a student copy of the classroom procedures, explain to the student what the procedures are and why we do them, and then I would tell the student that I am here to help he/she learn the procedures but the other students will also be available to assist and learn the new procedures from. I would think after a few days, the student would have a good grasp on the classroom procedures. I would also keep in mind that there might be a procedure that would need extra assistance because it might be something that is not done every day (i.e. fire drill, field trip, etc.)
