I plan on encouraging all students to participate in classroom conversations and activities, and also to teach students how to communicate effectively and appropriately so that communication is successful. In addition, I wish to establish a cooperative learning environment within my classroom, in which students will find endless opportunities to interact, debate, predict, experiment, and be whole-heartedly involved in all classroom learning. Students must be active in their learning, so that understanding and retention can occur. I believe that it is important to give students the skills they need in order to take responsibility for their own learning and to be successful. I also feel that relationships must be built between myself and the parents of all of my students.
Parents are a crucial component in the educational process.
Without the constant communication between teacher and parents, success in the classroom is simply not possible. Finally, I believe that classrooms must be inclusive and supportive. Students are all unique individuals, who must be encouraged and celebrated for their differences. It is crucial to be constantly aware of your students' needs and of how you can help to enhance their learning.
