"play is... everything that complacency is not... it's the antidote." Camille, age 10]]> 2016-07-13 03:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116320883 I believe children need to feel safe in the classroom and their voices need to be heard. https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116323535 So I will create a safe space (or spaces) in my room for when a child feels threatened or scared. I will create this before the 1st day and set expectations for the space. I will take time to talk to all students, even the quiet ones!

So, I will create a flexible classroom arrangement this year to facilitate all kinds of groupings for children to determine depending on their needs. I will also,  stop second guessing myself when giving kids choices in their learning so that they stop asking, "Can I...? ]]> 2016-07-14 13:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116405840 I believe that the children we teach are our future, so we must guide them along their journey of discovery as they develop their self-esteem, their intelligence, their confidence, their skills, and their knowledge of the world.  chrisp16 https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116426887 We must develop the relationship necessary to build trust and respect.  We as teachers must learn how to meet their needs as learners.  We, as our students, must be open to failure and know how to adapt and change.  And I think we most importantly must have the empathy in order to connect with every student that we teach.  Students today come to the classroom with so much knowledge and even pain that we must know how to help them depending upon the challenges they may face.  Teach them to love who they are and accept their successes and failures. 
Chris P. ]]> 2016-07-14 19:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116426887 I believe that too many children are labeled and/or isolated from their peers for interventions that would be more effectively delivered in a well-differentiated classroom. So I will speak about students' assets first -- always -- before exploring ways to meet their needs in the context of the regular classroom.   https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116568445 Ellin Keene

So I will work to focus on the gifts and strengths of each child as a means to address any challenges they might face. https://padlet.com/jaclynmhk/dqv0okpypdjs/wish/116652363
