3. Establishing Rules. Establish a set of classroom Rules to guide the behavior of students at once. Discuss the rationale of these Rules with the students to ensure they understand and see the need for each Rule. Keep the list of Rules short. The Rules most often involve paying attention, respect for others, excessive noise, securing materials and completion of homework assignments.

5. Learning Names. Devise a seating arrangement whereby students' names are quickly learned. Calling a student by his or her name early in the year gives the student an increased sense of well being. It also gives a teacher greater control of situations. "JOHN, stop talking and finish your work" is more effective than "Let us stop talking and finish our work".
