The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
Name of Artifact: Contemporary Issues
Date: November 2014
Class: EDUC 101
Description: For this assignment, I looked at the different learning environments, that being traditional public schools and charter schools. I plan to include how the environments of charter and traditional public schools differ and how each of their students succeed.
Rationale: To document my understanding of Standard #3, Learning Environments, I wanted to include how a different learning environment can affect the way a student learns. I will show how students in these environments react differently to a variety of different methods.
Name of Artifact: Final Project
Date: July 29, 2015
Class: EDUC 230
Description: For this assignment, I planned out my future classroom. I included how the environment and the learning processes would go when the regular general education class has exceptional learners in the classroom as well.
Rationale: To document my understanding of Standard #3, Learning Environments, I point out how a learning environment can be changed depending on the type of students in the classroom. I also show how my arrangements in the classroom will encourage positive social interaction between all of the students in order to help them to be their best person.
Name of Artifact: Classroom Management Philosophy
Date: April 4, 2015
Class: EDUC 240
Description: For this assignment, I gave my reaction to the author’s philosophy for helping students acknowledge their behavior and the consequences that may follow. I also gave a summary of my classroom management and safety philosophy. I concluded with an elaborate plan of my classroom management routines.
Rationale: To document my understanding of Standard #3, Learning Environments, these classroom guidelines demonstrate my ability to encourage motivation and positive behavior, in the classroom and in the gymnasium, by giving students a feeling of independence so that they can take ownership of their actions. Students are allowed to actively engage in the creation of the guidelines, which helps promote positive social interaction.
