Broken norms result in wasted teaching time and emotional stress for teachers in any classroom. The ultimate purpose of classroom order is to make it possible for instruction to take place. Classroom order is not a goal in and of itself, nor is it a means of resolving disruptions. As an effective instructor, I will have fewer classroom disciplinary issues because students are skilled at developing classroom procedures that maximize time available for instruction, not because they are good at restoring discipline. Some children may require rigidity and well-defined boundaries on the first day, while others will benefit from more freedom. To identify what works best for your classroom, I will encourage student buy-in, communicate the rules frequently, and enforce them as needed. I'll make sure the pupils understand that the most important thing to me is that they succeed.
