How can I make the classroom run more smoothly?

Disciplinary Guidelines

Too many rules? Feel like a babysitter instead of a teacher? Get rid of some of the rules! Simplify them and let students help create them. It gives them a sense of ownership and it puts responsibility on them. As long as they aren't sticking the gum on the bottom of the desk or on the floor, then lighten up a little. Your students will be surprised and appreciative.
