. . . . //civics- the study or science of the privileges and obligations of citizens//  Civic Education for young children in our schools begins with the home and classroom environment. You, as the teacher have control over the type of learning environment you provide for your students. http://www.socialgoodnow.com/jfk-on-education-vanderbilt-university-1963/ http://www.wimp.com/kidtalk/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57572471/kid-president-a-boy-easily-broken-teaching-how-to-be-strong/

[] 1. You're shooting for influence, not control. Fact is, teachers never have absolute control over kids, even using techniques like fear, punishment, isolation and intimidation. (In edu-speak, "consequences.") You want kids to behave appropriately because they understand that there are rewards for everyone in a civil classroom. 2. No matter what rules you put on paper, your most important job is role-modeling those practices, not enforcing them. Behave the way you want kids to behave: Ignore minor, brainless bids for attention. Make eye contact with speakers. Don't be an attention hog--your stories aren't more important than theirs. Don't be rude to kids. Apologize publicly when you're wrong. Remember that you're the adult in the room. It's your calm presence that institutes order, not rules. 3. Rules shouldn't restate the obvious. [|"No cheating" is a stupid rule]. "Bring a pencil to class" is a silly rule. Any rule that begins with "don't" is a challenge to the rebels in every class. Any sub-rule covered by the general idea of being respectful (or, if your students are in first grade, nice) doesn't need specificity. 4. On the other hand, do give clear instructions about what kids don't know. What to do when a tornado is spotted, the lights go out or you're under lockdown--and why following those procedures is critically important. Where the extra, road-kill pencils are, when yours disappears. How to properly feed the guinea pig, sterilize a mouthpiece, or check out a book. Stress: order facilitates learning, makes the class a pleasant place to be. Students are helpful here. An example: for years, one of my classroom guidelines was putting percussion instruments and mallets in labeled drawers after class. Percussionists were terrible at following this rule. I nagged. They "forgot." Finally, one of them pointed out that there really was no good reason that the most commonly used tools shouldn't stay out, easily reachable, during the week. They weren't going to get dusty overnight--in fact, the extra handling from going in and out of drawers five times a day was hard on mallets. Such common sense. //New rule.// 5. Integrity helps build community. The most important directives in democratic classrooms are around ethical practices: A clear definition of cheating, understood by all students, in the digital age. Why trust and personal best are more important than winning. Why substandard work isn't ever OK. How true leadership--kids want to be leaders, too-- is a function of respect. 6. Carrots and sticks are temporary nudges toward desirable behavior at best, but ultimately destructive. One of the phrases I hate most in the conversation around acceptable student behavior is "caught being good." One of my kids' elementary school PTAs started a campaign to catch kids "being good"--one per week--and give them $5 and a mention in the P.A. announcements the next day. Fortunately, the first rash of faux "good" behavior from spotlight-seeking 5th graders triggered a quick end to the plan. It's all in the first bullet: **//We want kids to behave appropriately because they understand that there are rewards for everyone in a civil, well-managed school.//**
