Creating a safe classroom culture founded upon mutual respect will ensure students are aware of their expectations and find value and purpose in their time at school. I focus on highlighting positive behaviors to subsequently instill a sense of intrinsic motivation. I also ensure students are held accountable for the choices that they make. Structure allows students to strive and it is my belief that quality classroom management is the most essential element of teaching.}]]> 2017-03-28 18:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_johnson1216/missjohnsonteachingportfolio/wish/163230931 nicole_johnson1216 https://padlet.com/nicole_johnson1216/missjohnsonteachingportfolio/wish/163231029 ^{This lesson was taught to help students conceptualize finding the main idea of a text.} ]]> 2017-03-28 18:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_johnson1216/missjohnsonteachingportfolio/wish/163231029 nicole_johnson1216 https://padlet.com/nicole_johnson1216/missjohnsonteachingportfolio/wish/163539206 ^{This letter speaks to my passion for putting the students before the curriculum.
