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.
