I felt like this was a good article because classroom procedures are a must in order to keep students on task and able to quickly transition from one activity to another. I try to start, end, and transition activities quickly.... but it can sometimes be challenging. It is always nice to get another person's perspective on how to keep students on engaged.

40 Active Learning Strategies for Active Students

I found this article interesting because we see a lot of active students in our school population. It's hard to keep their attention when all they want to do is squirm. These activities get students moving around while still being able to focus on their academics.

You can not teach students and get them to trust you until you build a relation ship with them.

I found the articles and information on energizers and brain breaks very helpful. Our students need movement during their learning, and research shows it helps them focus more in class and remember what they learn.

I find when I make time to make a personal connections with my students it gives back many times. I try to ask a personal question of at least half of my students everyday or at least every other day. It makes their day and also helps me understand them better! I have to make sure to do it!!! Ruby

I will focus on making my centers in guided reading relevant. I am focusing on making them low maintenance so that I can switch them as needed. I intend to teach them during small group so that they work independent and be successful. We will review routines & expectations daily.

I found the Guided Reading Article interesting because I am still working on getting my "RISE" time to fully come together. I like how it talks about focusing in on what the OTHER students, who are not in the small group with the teacher, are doing. These students need tasks that are simple, low maintenance, and easily independent for each student. That way students are actually on task and do not need help figuring out what to do. I also liked that the article gave suggestions as to what kind of centers would be good to utilize during this time. It was nice to know some of my centers are on that list. As long as students are working on differentiated review, that should be a good start for getting students engaged and on task during their center/desk time.

I realized that entrances into the classroom make a direct impact on behavior and environment. Unfortunately its hard to be at the door to great students if I'm still conferencing or resetting for the next class because the one before left late.

The Effects of Teacher-Student Relationships

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen the impact on student's lives when they have made a positive connection with their teacher or a support person in the school.  So many of our students need to know someone cares because they often times feel like someone doesn't care at home.  So many of our kids need academic as well as behavioral support and teachers can be that bridge to help students make progress in those areas.  The article stated that student motivation is closely linked to teachers expectations which links to academic achievement so it sounds like a great place to put our energy.

30 Classroom Procedures to Head Off Behavior Problems

I chose this article because I am always looking for a better way to make my class run smoothly. One specific piece I took away from the article was that I needed a procedure to get my students attention. Ringing of a bell, give me five, turning off the lights, etc..Something other than what I have been doing. I feel that if there is noise in the classroom and I am having to talk over them to get their attention, I'm defeating the purpose. Finding a quiet way to get their attention could/would provide a quieter transition as well.

The Effects of Teacher-Student Relationships: Social and Academic Outcomes of Low-Income Middle and High School Students

I decided to focus on this article so I can form more positive relationships with some of my students.  Some of them need to be motivated with the desire to learn.  I don't think they have a value or desire to take advantage of the opportunities they would have if they tried to do this.  It would also impact  the relationships that they have with their peers.  By having high expections for themselves as well as the ones thier teacher has, I feel they would try to do their very best everyday in every academic as well as social encounter they may have.

I liked this article because it gave ideas for the "many" times of the day that our children need redirection. By having a well defined procedure for transitions, it makes that time go more smoothly.  The article also talks about modeling each procedure to students will know the expectation of that time.

I chose this article because it discusses the roles of co-teachers in the classroom. This is my first experience as the "push-in" teacher rather than the classroom teacher. I wish I had read this article at the beginning of the year. It would have been a help to establish procedures and expectations for all the teachersm and what we wanted the classroom experience to be like. The article discusses the importance of planning together. We have had trouble with this because our common planning time is often interrupted and we really do not get a chance for long-term planning. I would like to have a form or checklist to help facilitate conversations of what both teachers would like the co-teaching experience to be.

I chose this article because I felt the CHAMPS acronym was adequate for small group instructional time.  The expectations for my small groups are to work quietly and independently.  The CHAMPS module was a perfect fit for my classroom.

30 Classroom Procedures to Head Off Behavior Problems

I decided to focus on this article because it has tips and ideas that I can use even though I am not a classroom teacher.  Students need to be properly taught procedures and have clear expectations in all areas of the school. If I expect students to act a certain way when they come into the library, I must model and reinforce those procedures and expectations.

I really liked the classroom energizers activity ideas packet. I use brain breaks, like gonoodle  in my classroom when I find my students are beginning to get restless (especially on rain days). I really like the different activities and directions in the packet, and most of them are new to me. I think my students would really enjoy some of the ideas and I could easily tie in some of our curriculum while doing them. l plan to try to do some of the activities to help reengage my students and help them release some of their energy to get focused back on learning when they begin to get antsy!

Strategies for Teaching Students With Behavioral Problems

# data[].attributes.body
I  decided to focus on this article because I have several children that can be very disruptive to our class routine and I  wanted  to review strategies that may help these students, benefit the other students in my class, and help me maintain my sanity. What I've realized is,  sometimes I forget to praise  these students for "small" victories (walking into the classroom, attempting an assignment....) So, I plan to be more consistent with praising these students.
I also, found it interesting that the article recommended that we should Reduce Privilege access. After defining privileges that the students have- the teacher sets in place a rule system for taking those away.  I sometimes feel like we REWARD our students when they display negative behaviors.

I found the article how to teach students with behavior problems interesting and pertaining to me and my classroom. I try to pick and choose my battles but sometimes fall into that trap of more negative than positive reinforcement.  I want to start writing down issues with students and listing how I handled it so that I can actually reflect and keep a record on just how the behavior changes either positively or negatively. I feel this will make me more self-conscious about my classroom and behavoir management processes.

I think the article 30 Classroom Procedures to Head Off Behavior Problems is a good article.  Two of the times I notice the majority of behavior problems is transitioning from one activity to another (especially transitioning from one center to another during math) and what to do when students are finished with their assignment.  Thees are procedures that take the longest for me to teach my students and that are some of the most important.  We are still working on not shouting out "I'm done!" when we are finished with a task.  I think continuing to model expected behavior and recognizing  students that are modeling expected behavior is one way to help students remember our procedures.
