Standard #5: The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
I understand I will have to take responsibility for establishing a positive climate in my classroom, and in my school. I will use a wide range of strategies to develop positive relationships and cooperation in my classroom. I understand the importance of positive relationships between the students to create a safe environment for learning.
Artifact three is the certificate of completion for the teaching workshop: "Time to Teach." The Time to Teach program forces on classroom management. The main focus of this workshop was for teachers to give students explicitly clear expectations for classroom behavior to prevent problems from arising in the classroom.
Through Time to Teach, I have a wide selection of tools to help manage a classroom and motivate students. I understand the importance of creating a positive environment in my classroom, focusing on respect of students, teachers and the space we share.
Artifact seven is several articles from "ADDitude" magazine. "ADDitude" is a magazine focused on living with, and overcoming attention deficit disorder. A major section of each issue is titled "Just for Teachers." The articles I have chosen focus on writing, math, and classroom management.
The third article is titled "Problem Behavior Solved: To Keep the Peace in Your Classroom, Learn to Defuse Students' Anger." This article articulates strategies to respond to students' misbehaviors.
