Part 3: In 1-2 paragraphs, explain the process you will use to introduce your students to the rules/expectations for your classroom. Some things to consider:

• How will you know that the students understand the rules and what they mean?

• Does your school have rules and/or standard consequences? Do your rules comply with these rules and/or consequences?
