Positive Behaviour Support Resources for supporting neurodivergent children, teens and adults.

What are the 5 Rs of Classroom Management?

The 5 Rs of classroom management are a framework that helps educators create a positive, structured learning environment. They are:

  1. Respect – Building mutual respect between students and teachers sets the foundation for positive behaviour and strong relationships.

  2. Responsibility – Encouraging students to take ownership of their actions promotes accountability and independence.

  3. Relationships – Strong teacher-student relationships foster trust, making students more likely to engage and cooperate.

  4. Rules – Clear, consistent rules provide structure and help students understand expectations and boundaries.

  5. Routines – Predictable daily routines reduce anxiety, support focus, and help manage transitions smoothly.

Together, the 5 Rs promote consistency, safety, and engagement—key elements of effective classroom management.
