Context relates to bullying and violence at home because that is the actual and realistic background and community that influences a student. Understanding that some students of mine could have abusive home lives will allow me to grant forgiveness for behaviors and try and help them in anyway I am allowed to. Through this understanding, I can provide a safe environment for my classroom, and perhaps a safer life for my student.

Educate myself on the act of bullying, what is considered bullying, and how to stop it

Put in the syllabus at the beginning of the year my no tolerance policy towards bullying

Have an open door for not only the victim, but also the bully to talk about anything and everything to make my classroom a safe environment for learning

The bully is just as important as the victim

Typically, abuse at home is what makes a bully or a bully-victim

Females with abuse at home are more likely to be the bully-victim, while adolescent males that witness abuse at home are typically just the victim

Strong correlation between students who have been abused and having a mental illness (2)

Context relates to extracurriculars because it is important to know how these added activities that students participate in influence and impact who they are and how they learn. Another factor into this is that I as a teacher gain the opportunity to become involved with the larger community in trying to get my students engaged in an out-of-class opportunity.

Not to define my students by the extracurriculars they are involved in

However, due to the POSITIVE impacts on students, try to get them involved in extracurriculars for THEIR benefit

Make an English extracurricular (literature or writing club) that any and all students can be involved in: free, accessible to all in time and location

Extracurriculars impact a student's educational success and their identity development

Regardless of the socioeconomic status or educational resilience on a student, if he or she is involved in an extracurricular, they are twice as likely to graduate high school and enroll in a college

A correlation was found that a positive lifespace environment DOES increase the involvement of extracurriculars and academic achievement of students as opposed to those with a negative lifespace environment (1)

I, as an educator, must understand that my students come from diverse backgrounds that influence them and their educational experiences. Different factors that my pupils experience establish their identity, learning patterns, and development, and which varies them from each other. I must also be aware that it is my responsibility to work with the differentiations of my students so that they can learn to their best ability. If I were to neglect these differences of my students as a teacher, it would be my fault that the pupils didn't or couldn't learn to their full capacity. An advanced application of this context would be that I as a teacher took the opportunity to become involved with the school and community outside of my primary job.
