At the start of the year, I will build a strong classroom community by celebrating each student's strengths and differences. I will use differentiated instruction to meet diverse learning needs and offer multiple ways for students to engage and show understanding. Clear expectations and routines will be set early to create a safe and inclusive environment for all.

# data[].attributes.body
I will make sure my students have all the resources and materials they need to participate in the activities successfully. I will make sure they feel comfortable and welcomed in the classroom when using the resources and materials that may look different than others. I will also make sure my students have the proper support when completing activities. Whether that is by providing them with personalize schedules, goals, worksheets, etc.

I will do this earlier in the year by making sure I know my students strengths and needs, accommodating lessons to fit all students. I will also make sure the content is engaging and fun, based on students strengths.

1. Morning meetings to build classroom community

2. Group work with flexible groups

I will develop classroom community by greeting students at the door and trying to make a personal connection with each student. That way they know they are a part of our school community and have a place in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
From the start of the year, I will assess students' needs and preferences to plan lessons that reflect different strengths and abilities. Early in the year, I will set up activities that help students learn about each other’s backgrounds, interests, and learning styles.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to incorporate their interests by having them do a small research project/presentation on a topic of their choice (i.e. tv show, sports team, actress, etc) that they can "teach" to the class.

Set a learning contract that everyone contributes to and agrees to and holds everyone including the teacher accountable in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
As a future educator I will make sure all of my students are included by:

Getting to know my students (what they like/dislike).

promote a positive learning environment.

Support all students learning styles.

Allowing the students to be comfortable and making sure my students know I am always here for them.

I will develop this is the year by setting clear expectations and by having a day just to get to know my students and making sure they know information about me.

As a future educator, I will:

1. Create a classroom contract that the students and I will create together. This allows all students to become involved at the beginning of the year and develop a sense of self in the classroom.

2. Learn about my students. As a teacher, I don't just want to know about the students' academic skills, but about their personal and family lives. These are often correlated and can be managed when I know what is going on at home with my students.

3. Use positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement is very prevalent in schools, and I want to make sure my students know that doing the right thing can lead to better opportunities in the future. Making sure my students also know that doing the right thing should not have to come with an incentive.

# data[].attributes.body
To ensure all of my students are included would be to:

1. Ensure assessments or projects are given in ways that students can understand and can choose how they relay their understanding

2. Have students work with partners, small groups but ensure that they know that their ideas might vary but everyone's ideas are heard and accepted. Then giving the students who want to share the opportunity to share

3. Know your students, what they like, don't like, enjoy doing, what their family is like at home to ensure that they feel accepted and heard within the classroom

I will develop this in the beginning of the year to show that all students are welcomed and heard. The students can share about their culture and home life but also know from the start that they can share their opinion and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
To develop this early in the year, I will prioritize getting to know my students individually through interest surveys, informal conversations, and observing how they learn best. I will also set clear expectations around inclusivity and model inclusive behaviors myself from the first week of school.

1. Building a strong classroom community from the start.

2. Using differentiated instruction and materials.

I will make sure all my students are included in my classrooms:

Building a classroom community from day one.

Using Diverse Materials and Representations.

As a future educator, I will make sure that all of my students are included in my classroom by:

Having individual conferences and having my students create a profile project about themselves (PowerPoint, pamphlet, letter, etc.)

Creating a classroom contract together and having them sign it!

Involving all of the parents through apps such as Class Dojo

Using a variety of teaching methods and strategies to meet each student's learning preferences

By working on learning who my students truly are, where they come from, and what they like on the first day of school, it creates a bond and a connection. Instead of focusing just on academics, I think it's imperative to begin forming relationships beyond the classroom instruction as soon as students walk through the door.

1. Having a morning meeting that checks in with students.

2. Being able to differentiate instruction for all student needs

# data[].attributes.body
I would give students different ways to share their ideas through speaking, writing, drawing, technology, or even gestures. This provides student to prove their capabilities of understanding in a way that works best for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I will begin the year by creating a welcoming environment in the classroom by doing a lot of activities where students get to know one another and me.

I will make sure to share with students struggles I might have and my personal experiences to help create a safe and welcoming environment

# data[].attributes.body
1.) I will collaborate with students to create a classroom contract to differentiate our classroom environment.

2.) I will have students create a positive learner profile with information they would like me as their educator to know.

1. Build a strong classroom community where all students feel welcomed and included from the beginning of the year

2. Use a variety of differentiation

3. Getting to know my students on a more personal level

# data[].attributes.body
1. Understand the needs of my students so that I may effectively differentiate and accommodate for them

2. Allow for group work with complex thinking

These things will be established early in the year so that students get plenty of opportunity to practice with those skills and receive effective instruction immediately
