Once the students walk into my classroom they will be aware of one another s differences, but know that each individual is treated as an equal. I plan to establish a sense of community in my classroom through collaboration activities in which we all work as a team. All students will be treated equally and given similar opportunities where they feel confident and where their ideas and feelings are respected. I plan to set goals and expectations for the students, which are clear, appropriate and consistent. Responsibility and social development will be a dominant theme in my classroom.
Every child is unique and different.
It is important to provide an environment that makes each student feel safe and comfortable so they are able to take advantage of all of the learning opportunities set forth for them in a classroom setting. In modifying lessons and instruction, I plan to accommodate my teaching for all learners and their needs. I hope to foster learning by being enthusiastic about the subject matter and establishing long term and short-term goals for my students. By setting goals and sequencing instruction so that it is most effective, I hope to make my learners feel successful and excited. I believe that a teacher who is hard working and does everything in his or her power to provide a learning environment where students are able to learn and feel successful is effective.
