**Leadership in the Classroom**

As role models, we take the opportunity to reflect on leadership with our students. We design tasks that promote independence and help develop lifelong leadership skills. We create jobs and responsibilities that allow students to contribute to the community, preparing them to face real-world challenges and successfully manage their daily tasks in the future.

Culture 6.5

In the morning, I have students sitting on the carpet and I go over all the student's names by taking attendance using the Well Wishes conscious discipline method. I have students make a heart with their hands and say the name of the students that are absent. I remind students to tell their friends that they were missed when they come back to class.

In my class we do a lot of bilingual pair research. Connecting to the Amplify lessons, students gain more information about the topic we covered and collaborate to create a 1-2 paragraph research summary. Since we are also a Dual-Language class, we have the students translate their research so students can enhance their Spanish skills. I have a mostly Spanish dominant speaker and students try their best to communicate and resort sometimes to use Google Translate!

Coherent Curriculum 2:

As a team we come together and discuss the lessons and how to make connections to enhance more student engagement. For example, when amplify gives us the culminating activities we are able to stretch the students learning with a collaboration of discussing activities and practice implementation.

Culture 4.2

Sam Houston identifies the language policy in a way that multilingual learners can thrive in their learning. My favorite student activity this year has been for students to draw themselves as a king or queen as they made connections to the literacy unit. Students recorded their voice on an app to talk in first person point of view to tell what they would do if they had a kingdom. Students had the autonomy to select their perfered language(s).

Students at our school set goals at the beginning of the school year and share with their guardians. Students go over those goals in the middle and end of the year and use their voices to communicate all their growth and learnings to their adults. Students have their data folders and are constantly able to look at their goals.

Student Support 3.3 - The pedagogical leadership team and teachers support students' social, emotional, and physical well-being.

In my classroom, students are supported with activities that enhance their social, emotional, and physical well-being when they are provided with CKH "good news" conversations, brain breaks for mental relaxation between subject areas, and physical activities to promote movement and active play. Students enjoy having these activities in class and like to share about how they feel when these activities are completed.

As a 5th-grade IB teacher, I can incorporate these resources in various ways. Virtual Resources: I will incorporate digital tools and platforms such as online research databases, videos, educational apps to enhance lessons and encourage independent learning. Technology can be used to support collaboration and facilitate project-based learning. Physical Resources: I will use hands-on materials such as manipulatives, lab materials, art supplies, and curriculum books to promote active learning. The classroom itself can be organized to support flexible learning, with spaces for group work, individual tasks, and interactive learning stations.

Lifelong learners 6.1-Students in my classroom take opportunities to develop personal learning goals by tracking their data in their data folder and by having weekly data chats with their teacher. They are also able to speak about their learning, growth, and goals with their parents/guardians during our student led conferences. They take ownership in their learning and are excited to see when they make strides towards their goals.

4.3 Approaches to Learning-

Teachers provide flexible grouping of students to maximize Learning-The School provides opportunities for students to collaborate based on their learning.

Students of different ability levels collaborate, allowing for peer learning where stronger students can help others while reinforcing their own understanding. Our Amplify curriculum lends to this practice.

Students in my classroom take ownership of their learning by setting goals for themselves. After taking the benchmark, students met with the teacher and developed their own personal goals for the STAAR exam in April for both read and math. They will share their goals and data during the student-led conferences with their parents.

Students "share their knowledge" for the betterment of our community. Students peer tutor during small groups and application practice times. They feel a sense of pride in helping others and helping their classmates be successful. This gives all students a chance because each one has his/her own strengths and help when they can. This promotes caring, open-minded and principled students.
