2. Creating A Peaceful Classroom
Students can not and will not learn if they do not feel safe in the learning environment. It is a teacher's responsibility to ensure that the classroom is a safe space for the students to learn and for the teacher to educate. As previously discussed in lower levels, I have several strategies that I will utilize to ensure a safe learning environment. Additionally, equity not equality must be encouraged in the classroom. Teachers must recognize that some of their students may struggle to learn content a specific way and the content simply needs to be presented in a different form. It is the teacher's responsibility to know the students learning abilities and to present these equitable learning tasks. ( McEwan, 2000) |
