Why I chose teaching

PHILOSOPHYSTRENGTHS & INTERESTS

Learning is a life long skill that never stops developing

That ah’ha moment when you know you have just learned something.

My past teachers have inspired me to get back into the classroom not only to teach history but to teach important life skills.

-THE GOAL IS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CLASSROOM

MANAGERIAL-MAINTAINING ORDER IN THE

CLASSROOM

State expectations clearly and consistently .

Focus on positive expectations .

Practice "positive" behavior.

Establish clear and concise consequences to eliminate inappropriate behavior, and reinforce good behavior.

Monitor student work and provide necessary feedback to encourage students to keep learning.

Maximize time on task by engaging students in a variety of learning experiences. This will prevent inappropriate behavior before it occurs.

Implement a clear set of classroom rules and procedures that are consistent and appropriate to the situation.

Classroom Rules

Positive Environment Every student has the right to come to learn in a safe

classroom environment. Be respectful and polite to all students to get respect and politeness back.

Responsibility No body will do the work for you. It is up to you to be

mindful of your own work. Come to class prepared and ready to learn that means

with any books, assignments and materials needed for class.

Accountability Be aware of your actions and how they may impact

other students. Be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions.

Classroom rules Continued

We will be polite, respectful and obey all school rules while in the classroom.

We will arrive to class on time, take a seat immediately upon entering the class.

We will do all the work assigned, give our 100% best effort at all times, and work from the beginning of the period right to the end of the period.

We will come to class with our assigned materials.

Listen to all directions and instructions given by the teacher and follow them to the best of our abilities.
