#57: “You'll NOT act a fool in my classroom and go unchecked!” What it really looks like to have solid classroom expectations and boundaries (HINT: It's not that)
What comes to mind when I say that as teachers we need... STRONG expectations and FIRM, CONSISTENT boundaries. Does it sound like: "You as a student are not going to act a fool in my classroom and go UNCHECKED. You are not going to be rude and disrespectful UNCHECKED. And yes go tell your parent I said it! Standards and boundaries from DAY 1!" OR does it sound like: "Welcome, Year 8, Come on in!" Spoiler alert: It's the latter. Because behind the scenes of that sentence, are all of the things that are done to non-verbally reinforce your expectations and boundaries. Your responsesYour routinesYour planningYour practicesHow you foster connectionYour modellingYour mindsetYour classroom environment.Every 👏 single 👏 thing we do is sending messages to our students about what we expect from them. What do I mean? In this episode of The Unteachables podcast I give you ONE as an example. Your classroom environment. Listen in as I dig into how our classroom environment could be make or break for our classroom management, how before our students even walk in, we could be mitigating (or fuelling the fire of) challenging behaviours.
