Classroom organization- I will want to have a classroom setup that allows me to be near my students most of the time. Other elements that are needed are that the setup is good for discussion and easy to get into groups from. i like the setup our class has where the table groups form a horseshoe. i think it works well. also, i need to have plants in my room as well as a pleasing color for my walls.
Motivation: I like the motivation in a classroom to come from having the subject matter be relevant and engaging. I hope i can make english come to life by making personal connections with the material and students
Discipline: first of all, there need to be clear rules about the classroom. Also, i hope to be able to avoid discipline when possible; however, when needed, i will use discipline as a way to create a time when i can talk to the student earnestly. i believe showing students caring and involvement is the only way to truely reach students.
Assesment: I want to try to assess my students more frequently so as to avoid infrequent, high stakes assignments. also, i feel this shows me a more accurate representation of the students. another important element to me is to assess more than just the written material in classes.
classroom climate: I hope to have an open classroom. I also hope to have an energetic classroom at times. a classroom without some energy just bores me.
Learning focus: I'm not sure what this is getting at. I want to have a student centered classroom if that is what i am supposed to get at.
Teaching/leadership style : I believe in being part of the class. That is to say, i don't want to remove myself from the work of the students but at the same time i realize that i am the teacher, not another of the students. I think the teacher is in the classroom to help steer the students.
