Spring 2015, EDEL 350/ Immersive Learning
Reflection:
A teacher creates positive environments that inspire students to learn. He or she gives students opportunities to engage with peers and practice appropriate social interaction. Through this positive environment, students are self-motivated.
At the school I taught in for this practicum, a positive learning environment was the key to students’ success. Because many students came from unstable home environments, providing them with a consistent and positive education encouraged them to succeed. When working with peers, students had to be frequently reminded how to work using positive social interaction. By developing these social skills, the students will develop a sense of self-motivation.
In my future classrooms, I will always encourage my students to interact with each other in a positive manner. I believe that it is my responsibility to set this example. In my classroom, all students will be expected to treat each other with respect. I will also build my behavior management plan around self-motivation.
