My classroom decor will be relevant to the students. I want to have pictures of the most important events of the modern world that lead all the way up to present day. I may also have decor by my desk that shows a little bit about my personality.

My goal for the classroom environment is to be a workplace based on good relationships. Strong relationships between myself and the students as well as students and their peers make for a strong classroom.

I learned how models like MTSS and PBIS account for every student and their individual needs. Not every student is going to be the same, they all have different backgrounds and past experiences who made them who they are. Acknowledging that and having systems in place to adjust for their individual needs is great. I am glad that these resources are so easily accessible to teachers so we can look at them whenever we need.

Our language as teachers is extremely important. Using positive language, even when telling students to stop doing something, is a must. It may seem inconsequential making such a small change, but this change can be the difference between success and failure for students.

Using incentives for students can be beneficial if encouraged appropriately. Using the incentive to compare students with one another or to bring them down defeats the purpose of the incentive. The incentive is there for students who can excel to reach the goal, which is every student! Using it as a positive can be beneficial especially to students who are having a hard time finding motivation.

Rules are made to be broken. To help maintain good behavior from all students, clear expectations should be kept in the classroom and often repeated. Teachers need to hold students to these expectations. A lack of consistency in disciplining misbehavior breaks trust between teacher and student, therefore increasing the risk for misbehavior.

I love learning and want to continue always learning in whatever capacity I can. As a teacher there will be opportunities to take courses that enhance my knowledge of teaching. That in conjunction with actually teaching should help me become a great teacher and lead to a fantastic career. I will continue to learn outside of the classroom and do my own research, not only on learning itself, but in my content area. There are always knew things to discover and I really want to be a master of history and education.
