How to Choose Class Rules
Using Students Hopes and Dreams

EPISODE #24

Bring Class Rules to Life With Students Hopes and Dreams

School rules. The mere mention of these words can elicit heavy sighs and moans from children and adults alike. Rules order us around. Rules constrict us. “No running, no hitting, no pushing, no cutting in line, don’t interrupt . . .” As one young child put it, “You want to do something and the teacher just comes along and says you can’t!”

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

You can use your students hopes and dreams to co-create the class rules or agreements together. And have some fun while you’re at it.

Build a Positive Learning Community
Where Your Students Have a Say in the Class Rules.

In this Episode, we will chat about:

One important question you should ask at the beginning of the school year that will get your students excited about learning and make a personal connection to what they will learn in school. AND…why you should start the year with this essential question.
The 4-Step process to co-creating the rules using your students hopes and dreams first.
Some of my micro-school learners academic hopes and dreams and the fun, hands-on art project they are doing to display their dreams in our community room.
