In this quote, the author is talking about the language that you use with students and your ability to sit down with them and understand. They are explaining that not lashing out on students and using appropriate language to find out what happened can have a positive impact of them and the environment of the classroom. I picked this quote because I believe when you are a teacher you need to understand all sides of things and do your best to understand why a student is acting out or disobeying. In my classroom, I would like to understand what is going on with my students and have them elaborate such as "How do you think that made ___ feel" "Why did you say this?" "What caused you to say this?" and things like that. I think the best way for students to learn and actually put effort into their learning is when they feel like you care about their feelings and situations. From experience at the middle school, I have made great connections with kids who were labeled 'troubled kids'. Putting effort into understanding why they are lashing out is essential for their own growth and mine.

In this chapter, and specifically in this quote, it talks about how a teacher should do a multitude of things for their students. They should hold high standards for ALL students, not just some of them, give them the resources to grow, and believes in all of their students. I think this is very important for every teacher, because I think there is a lot of teachers who do not care about all their students, or even most. I have seen a lot of teachers give up on their students because they’re “not doing anything” or “never do anything”. I believe that every student has the chance to succeed and you just have to find the right way to support your students. Finding the right means of engagement, multiple means of representation, modifications, extension activities, differentiation, etc. Not only the low achieving kids, but the advanced kids as well. As a teacher you need to make sure to have activities and curriculum that advanced students are not gonna finish in a heartbeat, and that the struggling students can finish as well. Finding that balance is crucial. I also think this quote is saying that you need to take students learning to the next level and not stay at the same place all year. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy is a great way for teachers to pick standards that take their learning to the next level.

Chapter 3: "Enticing students through positive framing to join with the group in a class activity is likely to yield far more productive results than publicly correcting students for off-task behavior" (p. 81).

Through out this reading, it talks heavily about how you need to have a positive attitude as a teacher. This quote in specific is explaining about how a student is more likely to engage in class activities when the teacher is being supportive and not targeting bad behavior in front of the class. I think this mindset is very important as a teacher because I have been told many times throughout my education that the students can really tell when you do not want to be there. Having a negative attitude will directly translate to the students behaviors especially if they feel like they are not also being respected. Encouraging students and motivating them will ensure that you get more participation overall and more confidence within the class.

The author in this chapter talks about how students with trauma are easily brushed off as problem children. It talks about how students of color and students below the poverty line are more likely to have trauma that directly leads to academic behavior. I think this is important to read about because as teachers we need to connect with our students and make moves to understand their own personal situations. I think that brushing off children and putting a label on them is extremely harmful and can push their self esteem lower. I think working with these children and making the correct accommodations is extremely important. It is important to not 'give up' on students just because they are acting out or show 'behavioral issues'.

When I read this quote, it was clear that the author is making a point that a student should not feel like they are being controlled in the classroom. The teacher should not make the classroom an uncomfortable place where there is an unfair power dynamic. This quote is something I very much believe in. I feel as though the classroom should be a place where the teacher and student are equally respected and help each other. I think the classroom should be a safe and comfortable space, and it is one of the most important points in my teaching philosophy. Students are less likely to be motivated if they feel like they are being controlled or scolded.
