Beliefs  about  Students  

Lindsay  Brown  

I Believe Students are Creative

•  In my classroom I want to accompany these students who are creative by making sure that for projects the students will have options as to what kind of a project they would like to do. I will teach in ways that are creative and interesting for these types of students to allow them the best success for learning.

I  Believe  Students  are  Ac2ve  

•  In  my  classroom  with  these  kinds  of  students  I  am  going  to  allowing  them  :me  to  interact  with  each  others  and  have  ac:vi:es  for  them  to  move  around  and  interacts  with  all  fellow  classmates.  I  will  be  reasonable  with  the  students  who  need  to  be  ac:ve  and  move  around.  

I  Believe  Students  are  Emo:onal  

I Believe Students are Unique!•  Students  are  all  unique  in  there  

own  ways.  In  my  classroom  I  am  going  to  encourage  my  students  to  be  who  they  are  and  am  going  to  use  there  differences  to  my  advantage.  Being  unique  means  different  perspec:ves  and  ways  of  learning  and  I  am  going  to  allow  my  students  the  ability  to  express  themselves  in  there  own  unique  ways.      

I  Believe  Students  are  Inspiring  

•  Believing  students  are  inspiring  means  that  I  am  going  to  use  them  to  help  me  learn  and  grow  as  a  teacher.  I  believe  that  they  have  the  power  to  surprise  us  in  the  different  ways  they  think  and  how  much  they  do  actually  know.    

•  In  my  classroom  I  am  going  to  treat  my  students  all  equal  to  an  extent.  Everyone  is  equal  unless  proven  that  they  can  not  be  treated  in  the  same  manor  as  the  rest  of  the  class.  

•  Independence is extremely important in the way we think and do. In my classroom I am going to encourage independence and allow for my students to think on their own but in a way that is going to guide them for success.

I Believe Students are Independent

I  Believe  Students  all  have  Different  Iden::es    

•  Students  all  have  different  ideas  and  views  which  make  them  who  they  are.  In  my  classroom  I  am  going  to  allow  for  students  to  have  the  freedom  to  think  outside  the  box  and  have  there  own  iden:ty  with  their  ideas  and  help  them  grow  their  iden:ty  for  the  future.
