#5 Spoke to me the most.
Relationship building between the teacher and the students allows for a more trusting environment.    Teachers will be aware of the circumstances of the students and be able to curtail their style to the students.

#3 Cognitive growth occurs during social interaction. I want to use interactive tools in a math classroom.
#5 knowing your students was a close second.

The guiding principle that I found most compelling was number 5 - Knowing the children we teach... is as important as knowing the content we teach.  Teachers have to know what Ss already know and don't know - their limitations, goals, interests, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing who the students are seemed very important to me. I could be the greatest teacher in the world with the most content knowledge and the best presentations, but if the students are not learning from those presentations then I'm not teaching them anything. Knowing the students would help me fix that.

PJ  The guiding principle that speaks to me is "To be successful academically and socially children need to learn a set of social and emotional skills: cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self control. Being in a classroom teaching students without these basic skills would be a frustrating uphill effort

Also working with adult people without the same skills would be less than optimal.

Drew again. # 5 as these are important life skills that not all students may have exposure outside of school. School, work, team environments, these skills will be of value.

I thought that #3 was important. Especially in science where talking about difficult concept can heighten the understanding of the subject. Whether that teacher-student interactions or students working together.

Tossup between guiding principles 4 & 5. By knowing our students, teachers should be able to emphasize the application of classroom topics. These can be molded to fit the needs and wants of the students. This enables the creation of an environment that encourages and involves all participants.

Abby- I chose #5- knowing the children we teach - individually, culturally and developmentally.... because I think that without having a genuine relationship with students they won't be able to engage as deeply.  I remember our post-it note activity about a teacher that we remember and nearly everyone chose a teacher that they connected with, rather than the content they learned.

Ben - Knowing the families of children we teach is compelling to me.  As an after school instructor, I get to see and talk to parents/guardians every day and getting to know them will give you a better understanding of what to expect from the children that you are working with.

P.S. Principle #6

Knowing the children we teach-individually, culturally, developmentally- is as important as knowing the content we teach.
I'm especially interested in establishing relationships with my students in order to better understand ways to connect with them and help them learn.

I chose number 4 under the guiding principles, because it gives purpose and argument for my endorsement area (Physical Education. I feel there is a false perception of P.E. and the 4th guideline stresses that in order for students to be successful academically and socially they need to learn cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility...

I chose -how children learn is as important as what children learn- I struggled picking between a few of them and I settled on this one because I think so many of the others fall into it. If you don't know your students and their backgrounds you won't know how to teach them. By learning about your students you can learn how to present content in an effective way for them  to learn it.

Principle 2 - How children learn is as important as what they learn.
I'm nervous about teaching styles and incorporating different activities in the classroom so each lesson is not just a lecture. I want students to learn the material by being engaged and learning hands-on and with their peers.

I think that social interactions are extremely important, even in PE. An athlete can shoot hoops all day long by himself, but skill development will improve marginally. When that student interacts and practices with peers, a big growth in skill will occur.

#6 I have come to the understanding that when a school accepts a student, it accepts the family as well. Knowing our students families is crucial to truly knowing our students

Emily-                            Knowing your students was most compelling to me! I feel that it is  critical to know your students in order to create a safe comfortable learning environment for every single student. Without knowing your students it would be very hard to meet their needs.

I took the RC training and led morning meeting with my 3rd graders for several years.  I especially like their guidance about the beginning of the year and slowly introducing materials.  Guided Discovery is a terrific practice for new items -whether books in your classroom library, science equipment or art supplies.

I've definitely experienced seniors being resistant to anything that seemed too "hokey." In this same school though, many of my colleagues were equally resistant to taking time to address the school culture. I'm guessing the two attitudes were related!

Hi! I used the responsive classroom model with high school Spanish classrooms, where we practiced message of the day, "morning meetings", sharing, etc.
