Instead of focusing on rigid classroom rules, let’s shift to collaborative expectations. Adults often break rules themselves, so it’s unfair to expect children to follow them flawlessly. By building expectations together as a learning community, keeping them simple, and modeling positive behavior, we help students learn and remember them better. Praise the positive actions, practice regularly, and make learning enjoyable. “Expecrulations” is a blend of rules and expectations, highlighting the importance of mutual understanding and cooperation in creating a positive classroom environment.
