CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT (CMPS)

Part 1 (pre-statement):

Including ELL in the lesson through troubleshooting google meet issues and better understanding assignments.

Part 2 (mid-statement) Challenges:

A challenge occurred when ELL (Spanish) students were unable to complete the homework and participate during class discussions. Culturally responsive was a key strategy used to troubleshoot through this. Classroom management tools that were used included, monitoring google meet engagement (videos on, unmuting and talking, use of chat) and closely monitoring grades and trends in Canvas. I was soon to discover that the only students not participating/engaging or turning in homework were ELL (Spanish) students. All of these ELL students from each period were failing. I took action immediately with the assistance of my CT. We created speaker notes for each slide in Spanish. I also referred to students using google/Microsoft translator for assistance. I also reinforced students talking with me and my CT, to ensure students were understanding the material. Since these changes were made, all of the ELL students' grades went up to A's.

Part 3 (post-statement) Explain:

It is very important for me to recognize the error of not having content available in other languages. This created a gap in learning ability because ELL students did not have access to material in their language. ELL students did not have or knew how to access free and available online translation tools. To better manage this, translation links and speaker notes created for each slide from the slide deck was created to better accommodate the needs of ELL students.

Both students and myself were motivated because of wanting to understand the material and succeed in the health class. What I seeing becoming an issue is if there were multiple languages to translate each slide, it would become a time management issue. Also, if the grades were not recognized at the beginning of the quarter, students may become confused and lose interest in the health class or health altogether. The student did not choose to lose interest, rather it was forced because of the language barrier. This barrier created a lack of engagement by the student and initially I felt ashamed. After a close monitor of the grades, noticing trends, and communicating with the students both in class and through e-mail, I was able to foster a better relationship with the ELL students. I speak basic Spanish, from my prior schooling and classes and have used Spanish in my Nursing career. The amount of Spanish, though limited, is a HUGE benefit in the classroom. Trust, social location, identity, and promotion of autonomy is a crucial piece of my Health classroom. I am committed to closely monitor the changes and trends, not only in students' grades but their participation, engagement, and behavior in our online classroom setting.

Growth:
I really want to focus on some skills for prepping for classes efficiently so that I can maintain a work/life balance.

Challenge - with Zoom classes, I want to allow students the agency to choose when to have their videos on and have the option to use the chat, but I worry that the chat will get out of control or that I won't be able to tell if students are participating

Some challenges I anticipate are working with students who don't have a strong connection with the music program and how to help them have a good experience, especially with distance learning on zoom.

I want to work on how to best introduce new music students to the level of responsibility and respect that comes with a music program.

I anticipate challenges in regard to providing students with adequate art materials. Creating art with unconventional mediums or found objects may be difficult. Art supplies are expensive! So we will have to get creative

Challenges/growth: Gauging whether students are engaged and comprehending the content. Getting an adequate amount of active participation from students, but respecting/accepting that some students do not like to speak out in class.

Challenges: Coping with massive amounts of sound for an extended period of time. Equity issues with online instruction. Not having enough funding to buy the materials I need for in-person instruction.

Areas of growth: Engaging students, time management, being flexible, creating well-rounded lesson plans.

- I'm worried/experiencing challenges with engagement on Zoom.
- I want to work on my confidence in math and to not feel like I'm going to teach everything wrong and fail our future generations

# data[].attributes.body
Area for growth - I want to work on being more relaxed and having more humor when I'm teaching

# data[].attributes.body
I anticipate being challenged by balancing plans/class confines with adaptations needed for each class period. Already I've had situations where  class periods have played out differently than each other and I think I could have handled that better.
Because of this, I hope i grow in my preparedness, consistency, and organization

# data[].attributes.body
I anticipate having issues with work/life balance. I also hope that I can maintain motivation/feelings of enrichment from online classes (both as a teacher and a student) this year.
