Explain the ways in which you would establish ground rules with your learners which underpin behaviour and respect for others.
The purpose of ground rules is to establish a safe and happy learning environment for everyone involved in the lesson or learning activity.
I think the best way to establish ground rules is to ask the students to generate the list. Ask them to think about what they themselves will need to have a safe learning environment and to achieve the most from the lessons. If the students find it difficult to come up with a ground rule the teacher thinks should be on the list, to prompt them towards it. If, after the prompting, they still don’t understand, add the rule to the list yourself - then ask them if they agree it should be on the list. You could also achieve this by having a brainstorming session where everyone’s rules are written down and then everyone reviews whether or not they all agree to abide by them. Finally, make a list of the agreed ground rules so that they can be displayed in the classroom at all times.
The positive impact of the students agreeing the ground rules is that they will be more likely to take ownership of the, and appreciate them more - so creating an environment where everyone’s needs are addressed and everyone knows exactly what is expected of them.
