  Why do wehave guidelines? A guideline is a plan that guides our actions. To do things effectively, we have to adhere to some common sense guidelines: Governments invoke laws to help maintain peaceful communities. Companies have by-laws in order to facilitate productive work environments. Games have rules to create a baseline standard of play. So, to be successful in learning, you need to follow some basic classroom rules! I call them my classroom guidelines.

  Why Do WeHave Procedures? A procedure is the way that we do things. To do things efficiently, we have to follow some simple procedures, for example: To open your locker, you have to select your combination as directed by the lock manufacturer. To cook a delicious meal, you need to follow the steps in the recipe. To place a call on your phone, you need to dial the number in the right order. So, to be successful in learning, you need to follow some simple procedures!
