The document outlines the process a class of students and their teacher took to establish classroom rules for the new school year. The students worked in teams to remember the previous year's rules and suggest new ones. They then presented their rules to the class for discussion and agreement. The agreed upon rules were written on a board by the students. The teacher ensured the rules were clear and the board was displayed publicly so the students could refer to it. The goal was for the students to take ownership of the rules through their collaborative involvement in the process.
