Table 3: Reframing Classroom Rules

Discuss classroom rules with your MST. Identify any other rules which need to be made
explicit. Frame all rules using positive language. Identify how these rules are being
reinforced during the school day and note opportunities to teach these rules
Construct your own means of recording this. E.g. Table 3 below.
Table 3: Example Reframing Classroom Reframing Rules Record Sheet

Classroom rules

Reframe using
positive language

Opportuinities to teach these

rules
(both observed and ideas of your own)
Picture signs on display
Teacher praises children who are
following this rule
Teacher asks children how they
should walk in the classroom
During circle time the teacher asks
the children to think about what
might happen if this rule is not
followed
-I will show them a video about the
classroom rules everyday so that they keep
in their mind.

1. Dont run in the

classroom

Walk carefully in the

classroom

2. Do not eat in the

classroom.

Wait untill the break time

after that you can eat

3. Dont talk in the

classroom.

You can talk when the

teacher will allowed you to
talk by rasing up your
hands.

-I will teach them as sign to take a

permision from me so that tey can ask me
questions.

4. Do not throw thing

in the floor.

-Keep your classroom tidy

and clean.

-I will play a song called clean up so that

when they hear te song they start cleaning.

Discuss visual means of representing these rules with your MST to be developed and
introduced to the children over the next three weeks for example.

Table 4: Reframing Behavioral Characteristics

Discuss the general behavioural characteristics of all the children in your class with the
class teacher and record these in table form. E.g. Table 4 below.
Table 3: Example Reframing Behavioural Characteristics Record Sheet

Name of
child

General behavioural
characteristics

Reframed

Anna

-She always knocks over

other childrens constructions
or tries to destroy other
childrens art work

-She may want to join

in with other childrens
play but may not know
how to ask

Abdulrahma
n

-He always move in class and

he dosnt like to sit at the
chair while the teacher is
giving the lesson.

-She may be frustrated

because she does not
know how to play with
the materials or
complete her own art
project
-Maybe because he
doesnt know how to
do the class work.
-All the children
doesnt like others
knowing that they dont
know anything so that
they dont get jealous.

Mohammed
Ali

-He distrubt the class and he

keeps making noisy sounds
and not doing his work.

-Maybe he have a
problem or he is doing
this to get people
attention
-He always keep
saying that he dont
want to come to school
because hes genius.

Abdulla

-When the first class starts

Abdulla keep saying that he is
bored and he want to go back
home.

-Maybe because the

dont have enough
activities.
-Maybe because the
teacher always keep
explaining.

Suggestions to
help improve
behaviour?

-The teacher should sit

with him and talk to
him on a side, she
should tell him what
does he wants and
why hes moving
around while the rest
are working and paying
attention to the
teacher. Maybe she wil
find a good answer
from Abdulrshmsn.
-The teacher should
worn him at the first
time and if he repeated
it again she should talk
to his parents because
he it dosent work with
him when she write a
note to his paresnts so
the best way to talk to
his parents so they can
find a good solution for
this problem
-The teacher should
tell him what the things
that you like to do it in
class so that she do it
twice in a week.

Reframe these behavioral characteristics and suggestions for improvements.

classwork.

Answer the following questions:

Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?
-When the teacher explains the lesson by showing them some pictures so that
they understand the lesson in a simple way.

Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for
the children?
-Because they should get used to many different learning styles and to not let
them feel bored.

Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g.
read a story, listen to a story, act the story, and draw the story. Can you find
other examples e.g. math or science
-Counting numbers: It has more than 1 learning styles such as repeating the
numbers orally, writing the numbers, seeing the numbers. That helps the
students because some of them are good in writing others they dont like to write
they just like to repeat orally.

How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of learning

styles?
-The teacher asks them to set up the rules so they follow the rules.
-The teacher teach the student many learning styles then she see which one are
they better in and she keep repeating this learning style.
