Working with Ms. Michel has helped me to remember all the enthusiasm and passion I felt when I first started teaching. After teaching for a while, I think you can fall into a comfortable routine. Working with her has  encouraged me to think outside of the box and try new things in my own classroom. It has also reminded me of the importance of self-reflection. ]]> 2023-07-30 00:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653008471 tbrown31 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653008801 Ms. Michel is patient and kind.

I avoid making demands. I try to give choices and use the “when/then” strategy frequently. I also have a “calm box” in my room that Ms. Dixon put together last year. It offers students a chance to distract themselves and take a moment to deescalate. ]]> 2023-07-30 00:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653010291 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653147246 I am so excited to see the growth Ms. Heuts has made in action this year. Last year being her first year, was a big learning curve and I think that she realized a lot about her teaching style and classroom management. I am excited to work with her to implement what she has learned so far as well as provide support and ideas for how to continue to grow this year. ]]> 2023-07-30 15:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653147246 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653147738 Ms. Heuts quickly develops a great rapport with her students and makes them feel comfortable in the classroom.

Developing a relationship with all my students but really focusing on positive relationships with students that I know may need that extra support also goes a long way in helping when problems do arise. Avoiding demands and giving them plenty of wait time also tends to help deescalate the situation. ]]> 2023-07-30 15:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653148553 hseagles https://padlet.com/cshafer3/nhvol95bbv2yspih/wish/2653195763 I am excited to see the growth in Ms. Bryant already, so I know she will continue to do so as the year progresses.

Usually, once he/she has talked/yelled it out and taken a walk around the upstairs area to cool off, that is enough.
