This week's content surrounded itself around the question of how a classroom environment can be enriched, as well as ways in which learning can be dynamic.

Something I found very interesting, was the framework that both the student and teacher can be learning simultaneously. Learning is not one sided, and interconnected learning is what can enhance a classroom environment.

Forming a connection with students is one of the most important steps in the classroom. This way, you can facilitate a more personalized learning. You must learn about your students in order to help them learn.

Responding to different student needs is imperative in creating a healthy classroom environment. Rather than going into the school year with a set plan of how you are going to do each and every thing, it is more beneficial to be able to bend your planning to fit your students!

As discussed in both the readings, and class content, assessing your students is crucial aspect of teaching. In order to assess students properly, it is important for the teacher to know and understand their students, and gear assessments toward that. Understanding that all students learn uniquely and may require different types of assessment is important. Again, this comes back to forming a connection between teacher and student!

In her TedTalk, Sydney Jensen refers to students and teachers as forming a chain. Each person is a link, and the teacher is what connects each one. Sometimes there is a weak link, and it is imperative to recognize this and provide support so the chain can be strong once again. Occasionally, it may even be the person who connects them all that becomes weak. Because of this, as a teacher it is essential to not only help students, but help yourself.

Overall, the themes and ideas that most resonated with me this week was the idea of connecting with and caring for your students. Learning from your students as much as they learn from you is essential in creating a well structured classroom. Understanding each student you are teaching can change the whole environment in your classroom for the better. Students and teacher are linked together in a chain, and in order to maintain structure, each link of the chain needs to be supported.
