Reflecting on my own socialization has reminded me the importance of being very intentional with how I set up my learning environment. I want to ensure my students are joyful in their learning, not focused on the end results (grade motivated). I really appreciated project based learning because it allows for student choice and creativity and relatability within the classroom. I want my students to be able to hone in their skills without having to fit one mold. I appreciate the idea of being outspoken or inspoken (talking outwardly, or inwardly) as both being important components to learning and that one is not more than the other. Inspoken students are still doers and changemakers.

In the classroom of my dreams, the students feel safe and take risks. The learning environment promotes creativity, vulnerability, curiosity, and joy.
The content is culturally relevant and engaging, and the students want to learn/value education.

My classroom will be built on the foundations of support, trust, and respect. To do this, I want to create a collaborative environment that is always student-centered.

I understand that teachers hold a huge key in the socialization cycle for kiddos. The classroom of my dreams would be a nourishing and connected space where students feel safe to stand as their full/true selves. Learning would be full-heartedly connected to things that light them up and spark joy!

When I imagine the classroom of my dreams I imagine one of inclusivity, positivity, and willingness to collaborate as a classroom community. In my personal school experiences, I loved the classes that I was able to connect with my peers and enjoy the information I was learning because it was not only relevant to learn but relevant to my life beyond school - this is what I hope for my students.

My classroom environment will be very collaborative, engaging, and student-centered with student well being placed at the core. Socialization will help me create that by knowing that all students are coming into the classroom with different experiences and I need to cater to the needs connected with varying levels of socialization.

My dream classroom is very collaborative, postive & supportive. It has lots of cool lights instead of traditional overhead lights. The content / curriculum is of genuine interest to my students

I want to make sure my students feel supported and accepted as their authentic selves in my classroom. I will be vulnerable, genuine, and kind to all my students, so that perhaps they might feel encouraged to behave the same way. I will be conscious of my students' backgrounds and interests so my lessons can be fun, engaging, and rigorous. I will be aware of my biases so I can hold myself accountable for any unfair treatment and avoid over-disciplining my students.

I see my learning environment as very student centered. Not only in our classroom activities, lessons, and projects, but even in the way students choose to set up the room through their seating, decor, etc. It's really important for me to be connected to the community and student extracurriculars outside of the classroom.

The learning environment is one where students feel empowered and motivated to learn with each other. I know TFA doesn't necessarily endorse this, but I feel that it's important to participate in politics and policy-making (calling elected officials, volunteering, writing, etc.) so that classroom reform becomes a societal priority and not just the work of individual teachers.

I see the ideal classroom environment for my students as one that is filled with collaboration. I also always appreciated classes where I got to personally know some of my other classmates personally, so there would also be time set aside for them to get to know more about each other through our assignments and projects. I would also love for them to be able to see themselves as leaders, so definitely allowing them to see themselves in different leadership roles. Their input on assignments and projects would also be valued as I want to empower them to be interested in or motivated by exploration

My ideal classroom environment is focused on progress. There is no end goal, just a faith in the journey and safety that we each have the support of our peers to go at the pace that is right for us. My socialization goes against this ideal, so I will have to be very vigilent in my teaching style to create this environment
