Creating a Respectful, Supportive Learning Environment Classroom environment is important to the students’ learning, if the student doesn’t feel like they are in a place to learn but instead a playground they will not want to learn. I would want to create a comfortable classroom environment that is fun but also serious about learning and educating. I would want to make the students feel comfortable enough to ask questions, answer mine, and even talk to me about things that interest them or bothers them outside of class and school. With that environment and relationship with my students I feel that they would have a respect for me and would see that I actually care and have their best interest. A wise man once told me, “Students don’t care how …show more content…
I also believe that people best learn by watching or having an example, so it is the responsibility of the teacher to reflect the respect and supportive environment that they would want the students to also reflect. With that type of respect and support from the teacher, it would promote the cooperation of students in having a great learning environment. With the cooperation of the students it will make giving instruction much simpler and the teaching of lessons easier for both the students’ understanding and the teacher to …show more content…
In that case I would have students in no more than 4-5 groups broken as evenly as possible to have a cooperative learning experience. I would grant students with the responsibility to group themselves until a potential problem starts to rise. After that I would group students based on their potential to help each other. I would not want to group all the students that understand the material together while having a group that barely understands the work at all. I would also make sure that the class continues to work with all their classmates to prevent the chances of cliquing and exclusion to one another. Lesson delivery will be given in a way that the majority if not all of the students will understand. Modifications for diverse learners will have to be made because not every student has the same learning style meaning they will not all learn the same. These modifications include working out problems on the board with the class, using the ‘I do, we do, you do’ method, and even hands on activities if possible. The use of technology would be useful and integrated for classroom management through projecting problems on the board or even the use of a computer to look further in depth of theories or formulas. The technology should be in the front of the class so the teacher can monitor the class while using it. Having the
The environment of the classroom is important because is a social place where children have to feel secure so they can become part of the lesson and for the lesson to succeed. The classroom is organized and the students are in their individual desks respectfully listening to the teachers lecture and following along. The students look
Teachers should try to make the class as interesting as possible. If the students are interested in learning they will try harder and learn better. Teachers should be a positive influence on their student’s lives. They should not only teach them the basic subjects, but also try to make them become better people by being involved with them. Some parents don’t care how their children act and don’t try to help them overcome problems such as shyness; therefore it is left up to the teacher to help these students. This is where the teacher should become a friend and role model for the students.
In my class, we respect ourselves and take care of one another. I will encourage my students to try their personal best in every situation they find themselves in. I will remind students that your personal best effort does not look like your neighbors. I will structure my classroom environment so students can easily collaborate and form positive relationships with one another. The structure of my classroom environment will be full of warmth, patience, and humor creating an environment that is welcoming, safe, and fun for my students. We will look out for another and help one another reach our fullest potential individually, academically, and socially.
The job of a teacher is never easy but we have seen how cooperative discipline and enabling students to feel capable, connected and contributing can improve classroom management and maybe even our own moods. If we create an environment of mutual respect and give our students legitimate power of voice and choice in the classroom we will see positive results in improved student behavior and student achievement. Because when our students believe that they can succeed, they will.
Example: In a class of 30 the teacher can divide the learner’s into 3 groups of 10. Group 1 can work closely with the teacher focusing on work they are struggling with, Group 2 can read through notes, course material and work online to complete any work they were assigned, Group 3 can work on a group project they were assigned, and use computers to do their research.
1. Decide which students will work together in groups of four. Students will remain in the same groups for the entire lesson.
..., by controlling the learning experience and having a good communication with the children. Furthermore, Parents and children’s need to be involved in the students’ performance and show in then that they care about their opinion and being nice and polite with them. Teachers and Parents need to be more understanding with the student in order for them to achieve them to achieve their personal goal. Even though, they are children’s they are little one’s with a big potential of growing and they are the future of tomorrow, so we need to encourage them in order to have a better generation and teach them with love and care.
Respect Overview: Help your students’ identify what their strengths and areas of growth are, then help them set goals to turn their weaknesses into strengths. Help them to be assertive by sharing their opinions and beliefs. Understanding other peoples feeling will help them to develop relationships and learn the skills to develop lifelong relationships. Gratitude, kindness, and engaged listening are three key principles of respect. Developing those principles will help your student achieve a high level of grit because they will become more open minded.
For teachers to be effective their classrooms should be open, encouraging and safe environments, where a strong student-teacher relationship can be achieved (Marsh, 2008). Students should be treated with respect in order to meet their need for belonging (Eggen&Kauchak, 2010). The layout of the room and resources need to be well considered allowing different areas for different activities (Bennett &Smilanich, P. 1994) keeping in mind space for easy movement and creative work. Seating arrangements, noise level and room temperature all need to be taken into account when planning the classroom to maximise productive lea...
As educators I believe it is important to create a learning climate within and surrounding your classroom. An environment where students feel their opinions are considered and valued (Chapman & King, 2005). By creating an open, caring environment students are more likely to take risks, and to develop the understanding that it is ok to fail and try again. This ability to learn from mistakes and move on is a vital skill in life, and one which students will find valuable both inside and out of the classroom.
The most important rule that I believe in is that my classroom should be a place of learning. The best way to create this type of environment is to make sure that I am consistent with all students and that I make the students feel comfortable and relaxed. I believe that students learn more in a consistent relaxed atmosphere, because all students need to know that what’s wrong for one is wrong for all and what is right for one is right for all. I want my students to be comforted in the feeling that they are all on equal footing when they step into my classroom.
Others have been boring, overly strict, unapproachable, and at times unknowledgeable. I have learned valuable lessons from both. A positive and fun learning environment makes students want to be in the classroom. The first step in learning is that the children must want to be there.
My goal as a teacher is to improve my student’s education and help them grow knowledgably. I like to see students at different levels develop with each other and learn. I want to challenge the students and watch them grow to their highest level of education. Therefore, having the students in groups is the best educational strategy I like to use a lot. I want my students to have freedom with whatever creativity they want, and to allow them to express themselves at any time. With this freedom students will be able to experiment with likes and dislikes and be able to figure their weaknesses and strengths. Education is for everyone and it’s a right by low for all; teachers, on the other hand, should do their jobs very honestly and effectively.
Education is an ever-changing part of society. A classroom teacher is faced with new challenges and obstacles that have never been dealt with before. Students come to the classroom with different life stories. Every student has strengths and weaknesses that surface in the classroom environment. Teachers must understand and focus on utilizing each student's strengths and work to improve weaknesses. Students learn in a variety of ways. The classroom must be a safe zone that appreciates student's viewpoints and allows room for mistakes. When topics in the classroom are related to "real-life" experiences, the information is more likely to be retained. Students learn from one another. The ideas and perspectives that each student brings to the classroom can bring insight into what is being learned. Students have to be allowed to explore new ideas, try them to see if they work, and sometimes fail. When students are encouraged to explore, they begin the process of becoming lifelong learners.
The quality of the classroom setting is one characteristic of school environment that promotes positive outcomes for students. The climate of the classroom is seen as a major determinant of the behaviour and learning of students. It contributes to the academic success of students and predicts the degree to which they participate in learning, how consistently they attend school, how attentive they are in class, how carefully they complete assignment and how committed they are to staying in school and doing well (Doll, 2014). The classroom is accepting, caring, respectful, the atmosphere is honest and the teacher is positive, actively motivate students to learn, expect that students will succeed in school and in life and use effective tea...
