wiki WAY or Class Ground Rules

This page is for students to describe the ground rules for our class and for the use of this wiki space.

I like to start with the "Golden Rule" ... but sometimes you need to spell it out a bit ...

By the way, the Golden Rule exists in nearly every religion:

Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for anyone the things you would not desire for yourself. //Bahá'u'lláh//, **Gleanings** || || Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. //The Buddha//, **Udana-Varga 5.18** || || In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets. //Jesus//, **Matthew 7:12** || || One word which sums up the basis of all good conduct....loving-kindness. Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself. //Confucius//, **Analects 15.23** || || This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you. Not one of you truly believes until you wish for others what you wish for yourself. //The Prophet Muhammad//, **Hadith** || || One should treat all creatures in the world as one would like to be treated. //Mahavira//, **Sutrakritanga 1.11.33** || || What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour. This is the whole Torah; all the rest is commentary. Go and learn it. //Hillel//, **Talmud, Shabbath 31a** || || We are as much alive as we keep the earth alive. //Chief Dan George// || || I am a stranger to no one; and no one is a stranger to me. Indeed, I am a friend to all. Regard your neighbour's gain as your own gain and your neighbour's loss as your own loss. //Lao Tzu//, **T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien, 213-218** || || We affirm and promote respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. Do not do unto others whatever is injurious to yourself.

Oh, yes, the other thing that is a safe bet is to 'clean up after yourself'. Leave a place as clean as you found it, if not better. This applies to the home, the classroom, and the environment.

 * [|Classroom Management from the Beginning]

School is about to begin for teachers and students of all ages. September is the perfect time for teachers to rearrange the classroom and set expectations for the the year ahead.

To avoid classroom management issues, preventative measures are useful. Agreeing on guidelines for classroom expectations are necessary for adult learners as well as children. Ask yourself the following questions:

How do you and your learners feel about:
 * chewing gum in class?
 * raising a hand to indicate a desire to speak?
 * leaving the room without asking permission?
 * using cell phones in class?
 * using (electronic) dictionaries while the teacher is talking?
 * speaking in languages other than English in class and during breaks?
 * sleeping in class?
 * talking during a test?
 * conducting outside business with classmates on school property?
 * being late for school?
 * leaving class early at the end of the day?
 * receiving homework?
 * contacting the teacher outside of school hours?

Each class is unique. It is important to get learner input on these behaviours in addition to voicing your own. When learners and teachers agree on classroom etiquette, the chances of facing conflict decreases. ||


 * Quiet in the Classroom**


 * Most classrooms in school and colleges must be quiet and comfortable, but in our classroom here, those in the crowd talk and call out to each other, and when someone speaks or reads some students correct their errors. This is wrong. The teacher is the only person that can correct the errors. All students must be silent when someone speaks or reads.**


 * These are some highlights of advice given out on how to be abetter person; Stop smoking, stop eating the wrong foods, stop drinking so much, stop complaining, stop being angry, stop wasting your time, don't be so negative, and changes are mae in our lives and society through positive actions.**


 * Finally I present best wishes to all,**

Hi Keen, Here are some rules I thought could be of interest to those who wish to make this ' international meeting space' a nice place to share experiences,while learning :

- Punctuality - Assistance to each other whenever needed - Tolerance for each individuality - Set a time for 5 minutes rest after each hour ( avoid leaving class at anytime and miss something )

Thank you,

Fabulously yours P.S :Fabulous existed already, so I added the 'ly' to give it a personal touch !!

-punctuality to class. -respect to each and everyone present in the class. -can use cell phones during your five minute break. -ask questions if you need clarification and always ask for help. -respect each and everyone's accent. -always remember to do you homework/assignment.
