everyone feels equal and valued in the classroom. It's not just the teacher as the person in charge and everyone has to listen.

Make a "growth mindset" an active part of the instruction and assessment -- instead of focusing on abstract letter/number grades that are meant to encompass how a student is doing overall, focus more on what concepts each student do and don't get the hang of.

Unconditional love, accountability, commitment to gentleness

# data[].attributes.body
My classroom would function as a space for unconditional love and commitment to gentleness. This means that my classroom will have a set definition of core values, expectations, and honor code so that all of our students feel as though their values are being represented and respected by the entire student body. All students will be able to contribute to the classroom honor code so that they feel empowered and happy to uphold these values, as well as hold their students accountable to the values.

In implementing commitment to gentleness, I will never raise my voice at my children or assume bad intent of my students. In turn, my students too will have to treat their peers/fellow classmates with gentleness in the classroom. Something I will emphasize in the classroom to encourage safety and gentleness in our class is emphasis on sincere apology with changed behavior as a follow up.
