TASK 2: Classroom rules

Discuss classroom rules with your MENTOR. Identify any other rules which need to be made explicit. Frame all rules using positive language. Identify how these rules are being reinforced during the school day and note opportunities to teach these rules.  Construct your own means of recording this. e.g. Table 3 below.
