The Difference between
Discipline and Rules
Procedures and Routines
• Discipline concern
how students behave
• Discipline plans have
rules, consequences
and rewards
• The purpose of rules
is to set boundaries
or limits
• Procedures concern how
things are done and are
statements of student
expectations
• Routines are what the
students do
automatically
• Procedures and routines
teach what students are
to do or work at.
• Classroom management
plans have procedures

Why Are Procedures
Important?
• Classroom procedures are statements of student
expectations
• Classroom procedures allow different activities to take
place efficiently
• Classroom procedures tell students how the classroom
is organized
• Classroom procedures increase on task time and greatly
reduce classroom disruptions
• Classroom procedures tell student how the classroom is
organized thus reducing discipline problems

Two Kinds of Consequence
• Positive
consequences or
REWARDS
result when
people abide by
the rules
• Negative
consequences or
PENALTIES
result when
people break the
rules

Two Kinds of Rules
• General Rules:
encompass wide
range of
behaviors
– Respect others
– Be polite and
helpful
– Keep the room
clean
• Specific Rules:
Typically focus on
particular
behaviors.
– In class when
the bell rings
– No offensive
language
– Hands, feet
and objects to
yourself
The First Days of School

Consequences
• Consequences are NOT PUNISHMENTS
• It is simply what happens when a person
does something, a result of a person’s
chosen action
• It is advisable to spend more time
discussing consequences than discussing
rules.
• Help students understand that their
actions or choices result in consequences
and consequences can be negative or
positive.

Classroom
Rules
• Limit rules to a number that you and the students
can readily remember- never more than 5.
• If you need more than five rules, do not post
more than five at any one time
• Rules need not cover all aspects of behavior
• It is the teachers prerogative to replace one
rule with another at any time
• As a new rule becomes necessary, replace an older
one with it. The rule you replace can be retained
as an “unwritten rule”. The students are still
responsible for the one you have replaced.
