Questions and answers

What are good classroom rules for middle schoolers?

Few, short and easy to check. The six here cover being on time, bringing materials, phones, one voice at a time, respect and handing in your own work. Each says what to do, and its consequence is one a student can see coming.

What consequences go with middle school classroom rules?

On the opening page each one is tied to its rule: a late student signs the late log, and a phone that comes out waits on the teacher's desk. All of them are suggestions to type over.

Is this an anchor chart on classroom rules for middle school students?

It is one Letter or A4 page, the size for a binder, a syllabus or the wall by the door. For a wall-size anchor chart, draft the rules on the blank chart, then copy them onto chart paper.

Do these rules follow a school's code of conduct?

No. The rules and consequences are our own suggestions. Read them against your school's handbook before you print, and change any line that does not match it.
