Routines and expectations have to be critically thought through before executing. The phrasing of your instructions is especially impt!

Building rapport with students helps to gain their trust and attention to your lessons. Routines can be set tgt with the class so that every student agrees with the ones set.

1) It is important to always link your actions to your rationale as a teacher
2) Important to build trust between you and your students to improve on your relationship as well as their learning

# data[].attributes.body
Under Building Trust, teachers must be able to manage emotions - display composure so that we can be role models to students on SEL competencies

# data[].attributes.body
1. We should take the initiative to establish a positive relationship with every child from the first lesson.
2. Always address the actions rather than the student.

1. It is important to see students in a more positive light.
2. Building trust with students helps them to have confidence in the teacher and makes them more receptive to the teacher.

1. I understand why my mentor had established fixed routine for form/homework/work submissions (to ensure effective classroom management)
2. I learnt that while we should build positive TSRs, we should also take care of our own health before we try to help our students

# data[].attributes.body
I realised how important it is to build trust in our students so that they are more willing to learn from you.
Expectations must be constantly reinforced and revisited

# data[].attributes.body
1) Connecting with students on a personal level but do not tag emotions in it
2) To think: How to create positive interaction and rapport in a classroom with diverse issues (e.g. ASD, anger management)

# data[].attributes.body
1. I like how you give us enough and sometimes extra time to do our discussion, and get us back on class using countdown.
2. I learnt that there are overlaps on the teaching actions across the strategies, which reinforces certain actions on its importance, such as building trust and respect.

Setting expectations and routines is really important for the classroom setting (If it is done right at the start, classes and all will be more smooth-sailing as the year goes)

Positive discipline is really important to preserve students' dignity and to ensure good TSR (shows students that you respect them, and are able to rationalise with them)

# data[].attributes.body
1) It is important to not tag emotions when communicating with students. I used to think that saying I'm disappointed would motivate them to be on task but i learnt that it doesn't work unless you already build trust with the student
2) Learning how to establish positive classroom culture includes a lot of overlaps in the 5 areas that we focused today

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that teachers have to modify our teaching styles to suit the profile of the class

Reflecting on my AHA positive moment each morning can help me bring positive vibes into my classes

# data[].attributes.body
1. Learning from each other about how to establish a positive classroom culture
2. Important to establish relationship before being able to positively discipline a student

# data[].attributes.body
1. Collaborative learning (expert & home groups) - learn from each other’s prior experiences, see things in a different light/perspectives

2. ‘Correct privately, commend publicly’ (I like this saying)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Positive classroom culture factors are all interlinked
2. they are based on connecting with students and understanding their needs in order to acheive classroom objectives

Managed to ascertain some reasons for the positive classroom culture in my p4 class:
1. Mentor had asked students to contribute to class rules
2. Mentor had encouraged students to use online education (google, YouTube), to understand more abt a subject matter and discuss with class / him, thereby allowing class to feel empowered.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Co-constructing a set of class expectations with students so that they will take ownership of the shared expectations
2. Implementing clock partners/clock buddies into my classroom

After today’s lesson, I am inspired to incorporate some of the activities mentioned in the readings into my lessons. E.g starting every EL lesson w a 5 min journaling session

- To set up positive classroom culture, we have to consider all profiles in our classroom. In the event of achieving equality in the class, we should always consider equity as well.
- with expectations, we should have consequences as well.

# data[].attributes.body
-empowering learners (good to know individual needs and create an inclusive classroom setting)
-maintaining positive discipline (to encourage a positive learning environment)

Students’ voices are an important component in classroom.

Allowing “not yet” and “mistakes” are ok! This leaves room for improvements and that’s what the students should work towards.

# data[].attributes.body
1. All the 5 teaching areas overlap with one another which shows the consistency which a teacher must have in all areas and teaching actions.
2. AHA moment was a great way to start the day positively!

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Positive classroom culture is critical in the facilitation of students’ learning.
2. Maintaining positive discipline will help students internalise self discipline and motivation to learn.

I learnt more strategies on how to create a positive classroom environment like empowering learners through giving students choice and anonymity.
I also understood the rationale behind certain routines and rules that my mentors employed in schools.
