1. I chose the heart because I want my classroom to feel loved and cared for.

2. I want to remember that all students have a heart and want and need to be cared for in their own way.

3. A heart represents the way I want to teach and run my classroom because I want to teach my students that if they don’t have a heart or work with all their heart, our class and their work might fall apart.

1) My philosophy of discipline is based on understanding where the behavior comes from and treating the student with empathy and care.
2) My philosophy is also relationship-based. I believe that if students know you care about them, they are less likely to act out and more likely to care when you redirect them.
3) Maslow before Bloom! Students need to know they are loved and respected or they will act out rather than learn!

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the heart because I love getting to know my students and I want them to know that they are  loved and respected in my classroom. I also want my kids to learn to love learning, and to love seeing themselves grow as much as I do!

# data[].attributes.body
I would say my classroom management approach is best represented by the heart. The following are my three reasons:

1.      A heart must beat consistently; in the same way, classroom management must consist of procedures that are enforced consistently by the instructor, where each student knows clearly what is expected of him or her.

2.      A heart represents love, so similarly, students see that you care about them and thus discipline is for their own good.

3.      The heart serves a vital role in the functioning of the body, but you often don’t know it’s there since it is well-integrated into the everyday functioning of things; the same goes for a well-organized system of classroom management.

1) All students feel love in different ways, so I approach everything in a way that is most sensitive to the specific student
2) I want all of my students to feel as though they have a special place in my heart so that they feel loved at all times
3) Students should feel important and feel like they have a role in the classroom, just as the heart is important and plays its own role in the human body.

Controlling one area often leads to control in another area.

You have to be set up for success for things to work, each thing going properly helps to ensure the next will go properly also

# data[].attributes.body
My philosophy is that as long as I set clear expectations and remain as a calm presence, the class should be as easy as floating along.

I don't mind "waves" or a little bit of background noise because I know it will be easy to get everyone back on track. I have a pretty high tolerance for background noise because I think it is unnatural to expect kids to be perfect all the time.

I address big waves as they come, and I know that everyone is able to float along because the disruptions are uncommon.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I believe a class ebbs and flows throughout the day, and like a boat I think a teacher should remain afloat or calm throughout it all.
2) The teacher should "captain" the boat or in this case the students. The teacher should support and guide the students like the class like a captain.
3) Like a boat the teacher should not let water in which makes it sink. So when enforcing rules or disciplining they should do so with a clear unbiased view, not angry.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Like the military, I run my classroom on a tight schedule; students always know where they should be and what they should be doing, and it is consistent.
2. Like soldiers hold themselves to a high standard, I hold my students to a high standard and I expect them to hold themselves to a high standard
3. Like a soldier respects their country, I expect my students to respect our classroom, their classmates, and themselves

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the soldier because I always set high expectations for my students, whether it is behavioral or expectations for the quality of work.

I also chose the soldier because, much like a soldier, I expect the students to listen to and follow instruction. The students also are expected to take responsibility of their actions and work.

Additionally, soldiers always feel a tight knit bond with the people in their platoon.

Finally, the commanding officer is always ultimately responsible for the successes and failures of their troops, much like teachers.

I want my classroom to be a healing environment for my students. Some students act out when they are hurt.

Bandaids

# data[].attributes.body
I love the students that I work with and I care about them
I have a passion for teaching
I have a love for learning

I want my students to have a community in the classroom and know that it is a safe place to be.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose the band aid because I want to provide a safe learning environment for my students. I want my students to know that it is okay to make mistakes. If they make a mistake, they we correct it, we fix our behavior and we move on with our day.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I hope to show my students love everyday through words of affirmation praise. In my classroom we praise and give positive reinforcement rather than negative.
2. The heart keeps everything going and I want to make sure that I am able to keep things going in a positive way.
3. I want to make sure they feel loved while in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the heart because I want to make sure that while I have high expectations for my students, I want to make sure that my students feel loved and cared for, as that is the most important thing to me.
I also believe that students are more willing to work with you as a teacher when you are not constantly taking things away, but rather lovingly redirecting their behavior and still giving consequences that are for their own good and match the behavior

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the boat because I try to keep class expectations tight enough to where it can be a boat floating along. I also understand that things can get a little bit crazy sometimes in the classroom and that we must be ready to accommodate to "rough waters".

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Students need care in order to succeed in life.  It helps and goes a long way for students to do well in the class.
2.  Caring will help the behavior stay on point.
3. Caring and love will let our children know that with discipline it guides them to stay positive and motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the boat because on boats no one can really get off and it's kind of like an "we're all in this together" situation

I also chose this one because sometimes there can be rough waters.

# data[].attributes.body
I try to discipline with love and understanding. Each student feels loved in different ways, so it is important to learn the heart of each of our students so we know what they need from us and what the appropriate way to discipline them is. Lastly, I want them to love learning like I love teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
·         Teacher recognize that there is a source to the behavior ( boat started at the port)

·         Teacher realize to fix the behaviour will take a while. It is a journey and will not be fix in a day. Like most long boat trips.

·         The boat final destination represents the goal for the behaviour. The child may not reach the desired goal that year. But eventually the child will reach that destination with help from this year teachers and other teachers in the future.

- I want my students to feel protected

I chose band aids because I want my students to feel comfortable coming to me to help them heal but also know that they should do the right thing. I want the students to know I will help take their problems and find a solution.

I chose ruler because I want to be the ruler of classroom!!! Just kidding. I chose ruler because a few semesters ago I read about the social emotional approach RULER. It stands for Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing and Regulating emotions. Students in a ruler classroom are more likely to be less anxious and have better social skills. Students are also able to control their emotions and express them in a more effective way (verses outburst that gain class attention). Students are better at solving problems, learning, and have a better academic performance.
If anyone has not read about this approach, I would because it is very interesting and could be useful in every classroom.
