As teachers, we must research and make ourselves consciously aware of all of the cultural backgrounds our students can have and do our very best to make sure they feel comfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to communicate with my students about what are the best ways for them to learn. For example, if it is easier for them to have team discussions, work alone, work puzzles and etc. I could put works per week in which it would be easy for them to complete so that they correctly learn the content.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some characteristics is understanding that each person learns at a different pace. I know some teachers don’t understand why every student doesn’t understand when in reality they just sometimes need extra help or push. I also think pushing and encouraging students to do their best, that method of teaching worked on me on as a student.

# data[].attributes.body
Some expectations I would want to have got my students would to be prepared for the course and classroom time. From readings to pre class assignments I want the students to enter the classroom with preparation and prior knowledge on the subjects/materials we’re learning.

# data[].attributes.body
As an English major I feel having authors from different races and backgrounds would be helpful way to adjust to the diversity of students in classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that teachers have many characteristics that are crucial to the role they take one would be caring. All teachers are caring to an extent and it’s beyond important for teachers to care for their students.

# data[].attributes.body
I would expect my students to perform at a professional level. Music can be a fun activity and I want my students to be able to enjoy what they are doing but also understand the seriousness of being able to perform at a professional level. I would make sure my students know the music that they are going to perform by having rehearsals that are engaging and fun.

# data[].attributes.body
To accommodate the diversity of students, it is essential to first acknowledge how education methods, cultural backgrounds, and skill levels vary among individuals. So, what I would do is ask the students about their cultures and throughout the year we will be learning about each different culture. Also, I could provide a variety of materials such as videos, pictures, hands-on activities, and readings with all the different cultures to make everyone feel welcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I expect my students to actively participate for a high functioning classroom setting. As a Dance class it is highly encouraged and expected for students to participate. I also expect a responsible and respectful relationship within the students. I would constantly remind the students and show them proper behavior in not only in the classroom but for ever day life and the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Some expectations that I want to set for my students is for them to know more about the material than they did before they came into the classroom. Another expectation would be participation. I would communicate these by encouraging the students.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future I want my students to feel good and have fun learning so every week I would like to make them parts of what is going to be taught. For example, ask them some ideas of what they would like to do to learn. I want them to always feel comfortable in class and to learn. I want to have good students and that they enjoy the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Music would be a great way for students to learn more about diversity. For me whenever I learn a piece of music from a different culture I study the background of the piece so I can understand the origins on how to play the piece properly.

# data[].attributes.body
A good way to adapt teaching to diverse students would be to get the students to get more familiar with their classmates in order for them to understand that at the end of the day we are not as different than we may think.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have a straight forward expectations from my students, having a safe learning environment for my students is the number one priority. I understand that teachers need an organized lesson plan so that the day will go smoothly. Even though I am not a teacher yet, I have subsistuded before and without clear instructions for the students it can be chaos.

# data[].attributes.body
I expect students to have respect for one another. There should be no disrespect or offensive language in the classroom. I think that students coming to school and feeling comfortable in their environment will make a drastic difference in how well they participate in school. I would communicate with them at the start of the day. I would go over daily assignments or the plan for the day so they know what to expect and prepare themselves mentally for it.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest expectation that I have for students is to express themselves in the classroom. To do so, provide more assignments and activities that allow students to give their input or to reflect on what they learn is helpful in making them express their ideas. It can help add more connection with what they are learning, which makes students more engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
Always having books from different cultures and languages readily available can give students that opportunity to learn more about other cultures. Likewise, including a movie about a culture that students can learn and respect and know the roots of that culture.

# data[].attributes.body
Some expectations would include encourage participation and encourage gaining knowledge of the different cultures in the classroom. I would communicate them through activities consisting of these cultural differences.

# data[].attributes.body
Some expectations that I want for my students is for them to know that everyone is different and everyone learns at a different pace. There is no need to rush just because someone else is learning faster than the others. Another one is I would like for them to build their confidence since for music confidence is an important part of performing. A way I can show it is by giving compliments about the way they have improved, being direct with them that we are not competing, that we are like a team and we can improve together.

# data[].attributes.body
Some expectations I would set for my students are to respect others, be prepared, be responsible, participate, and preserve a positive learning environment. I would communicate them by introducing them to students on the first day and going as far as asking students to collaborate with their peers to add their own expectations to the list.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to create a safe space for my students. I would work on building relationships with them. Showing up for them and their accomplishments. Supporting their games, dances, art galleries, and more.

# data[].attributes.body
Effective teachers provide a respectful, positive, safe, and student-centered environment. Also, effective educators are able to establish trusting bonds with their students. This enables them to establish a welcoming and secure learning environment where students feel at ease participating and asking questions.

# data[].attributes.body
I would center on the expectation of respectful discorse. I would do so by always ensure I speak directly and clearly while always ensuring that I hear others.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I would encourage different activities that are based off of different cultural topics to make every student feel involved.

# data[].attributes.body
Some expectations I would want to set for students are behavioral, such as being on their best behavior and not talking over each other. I would communicate this to them verbally by making sure they know what is expected of them, and then by modeling the expected behavior. I would also reinforce this behavior by praising those who show what I want from them and reprimanding those who do not.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have clear expectations and goals established since the beginning of the school year. For the best classroom management I believe that students need expectations, routines, and rules. So I will actively communicate my expectations and objectives to student for a shared journey to success.

# data[].attributes.body
Patience and encouragement are two of the many characteristics that make a teacher effective. Teachers have to be patient and understand that the material that we know is new to the students and they might need more time to understand it. Encouragement if done right can be effective in order to help students do better.

# data[].attributes.body
My expectations are for the student to be on their best behavior, do what they need to do, learn their music, take notes, and make an effort in not only my class, but all classes. I will explain it to them in the beginning of the semester/year and will occasionally remind them of their duties as students.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly love worksheets that include different culture lessons from around the world and try to find ways to include a class activity about that lesson. I even heard about some application that allows you to view places around the world such as museums, so pretty much like a virtual tour.

# data[].attributes.body
As an English teacher, I want to integrate more culturally significant books that highlight different experiences and diversity. Often students are only familiar with the classics, which tend to be geared to just one group of people. As such, diversifying the texts that are included in class can lead to greater diversity.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest expectation I would want to have for my students is to follow a routine. I am aware that a routine may not be successful everyday but it gives students an expectation of what their class time should look like. It ensures that students know when to be quiet or when they are allowed to collaborate and communicate with one another. I would establish this by meriting verbally students randomly when I see that they are following routines.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a class on translanguaging and learned a lot about strategies to help make a diverse classroom more comfortable and inviting for students. Understanding your students and having respect for their background is one of the first things to consider. Another is providing literature that is culturally diverse. Practice cultural sensitivity for students who have accents or things that make them unique.

# data[].attributes.body
One expectation I’d like to express to my students is that everyone can improve on their literacy skills. I’d communicate this by offering notes of encouragement on their papers and commenting on how their writing skills have developed.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest expectations I would have for my students are to enjoy the class and to actually have fun learning my material. Communication is always important to have in the classroom, so as an educator, you know what the students are enjoying and what they are having a difficult time doing. Challenging them to continue these goals throughout the year could also challenge you as the educator as well to better prepare yourself for your classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
What I would like to see from my students would be effort. Effort comes a long way especially if the student is in sports or extra curricular activities then that is their motivation already so just effort and being attentive in the classroom and having the confidence to participate is what I would want to see from the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Since I am a music major, I would include different music from different cultures that my students are interested or that are related to their culture. I would also include my culture so all my students can see that there is nothing to be ashamed of their own culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that as teachers we need to have a lot of patience in order to have a good learning outcome for the students. It is important that we have good communication with the students so that they can express themselves better with us if they do not understand something. We have to have creativity to have an interactive class.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a music educator, the students will not be sitting at desks for the entire duration of class as they will be standing or sitting on the risers in the classroom. An important expectation I would set is for them to know exactly what to do right when they walk into class, which is to put their backpack down to the nearest wall, grab their binders with their music inside, and quietly have a seat until the bell rings for the class to start. I would communicate that by letting the students know what I expect of them to do while also having a poster on the wall as a reminder.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe incorporating student diversity in the classroom can be an effective tool for teaching and learning. I think I would conduct a survey in the beginning of the school year to inquire on the students culture, traditions, and diversity. Once I have sufficient information, I will be able to incorporate those distinctive qualities in the students' learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I would include culturally inclusive resources such as books that teach about various identities. In secondary grades it is great to address cultural awareness since they are at a higher maturity.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd want to have a general idea of the diversity in my classroom to best fit my students need for education. Assisting in different styles of music, communication, and methodology as to how to explain something will be on my mind to help them with anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I would adapt my teaching to adjust the diversity of each of my students by observing and communicating with them. I want each student to feel comfortable in the classroom, and if they need me adjust my instruction for certain individuals, I will do my best to work towards creating a more inviting learning space. I would also create lessons that relate to their diverse backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
As a English major, I would like my future lessons to include literature describing the lives of all types of people- varying in race,sex, social status, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I would adapt my teaching by learning what each student needs and working from there. There may be students who have no prior experience to the material we will be going over, so having lessons include background knowledge is important. Diversity may also include race and culture as well, so allowing material that may be relatable to them is important as well to having a welcoming classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Being aware and open minded. Also practicing cultural sensitivity and acknowledging diversity in the lesson plan. I would never want anyone to feel excluded.

# data[].attributes.body
I would match my energy to the students. Everyone is going to have a different attitude so if the students are not feeling it sometimes them what I would do would be change the classroom dynamic to a positive one. Things like that are somethings that I would do in terms of adjusting, being one with the student but still holding that teacher student boundary is a good tactic to keep the classroom fair and equal.

# data[].attributes.body
Having a more organized routine for the classroom, students seem to respond more to organizations, and to always have a backup lesson just in case you may come across a problem. Always trying to get the students involved more hands on. Patience is also a big factor especially if you are working with elementary, little ones are learning the classroom environment.

Patience, persistence and open to knowledge

Some characteristics that make effective teachers would be having good communication skills, be a good listener, have empathy for the students, patience and learning how to adapt to every different situation or circumstance.

# data[].attributes.body
Effective teachers are those that create an inclusive environment that grows as the students grow. It is trial and error and being willing to examine ourselves as much as examining students. Overall they are responsive to their students individually and combine their knowledge with their empathy with education.

I would be having a spanish classroom, meaning that I must understand that there will be language barriers stopping a more effective and productive ay of teaching. Knowing this, it would be important for me to teach in the dominant languages of the areas im teaching in, so for here it would be English and Spanish. There are also speech impediments that could have students struggle especially in a language course, I would always try to keep a patient mindset with everybody in the classroom in order to give everybody a fair chance to try succeeding in the classroom. It is also important to always ask if they feel comfortable sharing or speaking out loud from time to time.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use more translanguaging tools and strategies. I want to respect and honor my students language. I would let them do assignments in their native language.

I feel as if teachers who are eager, adaptive, creative, and understanding tend to be very effective. In music, there are practically no set answer that can be percieved as yes or no. The teacher has to find solutions that I feel require those characteristics.

Some characteristics that I think make for effective teaching are communication skills, and adaptability. A teacher that has good communication skills gets their point across and makes sure their students understand the assignment or lecture. Being able to adapt to your students needs is very important because things are always changing. Over time you learn how your students receive the information that you are teaching so you as a teacher make accommodations to suite the needs of your students.

I believe the three qualities mentioned in the textbook encompass what an effective teacher is. Being clear in the objectives and goals for teaching and learning can allow students the proper mindset for learning. Having warmth and compassion is especially necessary to improve the relationship students have with education. And lastly, the teacher must have proper knowledge on the content and style of effective teaching.

# data[].attributes.body

Compassion and empathy are the most important components to any educator. They allow for a teacher to evaluate and understand a students needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that one strategy that makes an effective teacher is learning how to keep the student engaged and on task at all times. Teachers do not have to be super strict, and these lessons can be fun yet informational. I have seen videos of teachers using toys and gadgets that the students love to use and adding that into their activities to keep the engagement, such as pop-its and fidgets. This will help the students remember the lesson and remember the fun they are having during the lesson as well, which helps them remember how to do the lesson and answer the problems easier.

Some effective strategies to acquire when teaching students is communicating and listening to their concerns. Being willing to adapt to your students needs and being patient with them.

I think that patience is a big one for sure. Then along with that would be a positive mind set with a can do attitude. If a student is visibly struggling and the teacher does not recognize that or the student feels like the teacher is not helping them. The student might feel discouraged in the class. Overall just an encouraging attitude would be good for the students.

I think effective teachers are able to combat students' needs and show that they are willing to take time and effort into helping students no matter what the situation. Effective teachers require flexibility, adaptability and respect for their students.
