Teachers are mentors who help students learn it is ok to fail, to get up and try again. It is ok to
be different, that is was makes us great so be you and dont let anyone tell you differently. We
help our students find a dream and achieve it, or find the path and skills they need to get
there. Teachers mentor students to accept and respect themselves and others, to not stand for
bullying. Teachers are the dream makers and students the dreamers, we encourage them to
grow and give them the drive to reach for their potential.
My belief of being a mentor and a coach to students is to help them develop their own cognitive ability to make choices, justify their reasoning, develop their own identity, and have the
confidence to be themselves, and to keep trying until they achieve success.
Classroom management is essential for our students to succeed. Good management allows for
all students to get the instruction they need. With sound strategies for modifying behavior,
scaffolding instruction, and establishing discipline we give our students the best chances for
growth.
My management style is an authoritative one because I believe in giving students choice, encouraging them to come up with their own ideas and to realize the reasons for their behavior.
I work with the students to build their own awareness of their actions and to develop a desire
to learn.

Messy Area
This layout provides students to have the space they need and easy access to supplies for the area they
are focusing on. There is a seating map in the front where students will label what area they will be
working in, along with the daily objective and schedules. The Visuals are visual examples of skills, and
expectations of work. Along the West wall there are storage areas for large projects and supply cabinets
for the 3D/Craft area. The messy area is for painting, ceramics, any medium that can get messy. The
help center allows for scaffolding by allowing the teacher to place students who need extra guidance to
be in one place of focus, either by the teacher assigning them to sit there until they are ready to move,
or by the student choosing to sit there for help. This allows the students who need less guidance to
work freely from distraction. The behavior station allows for students who need a calm area, or have
not been on task to have space to work without disrupting the rest of the class. The small storage in the
center is for worksheet and sketchbook storage, and the large one is for small project storage for students.
VI.Parents as Partners
It is very important for me to include the students families as part of my class. This will help
provide a more consistent education from the home to school, help with cultural needs of students, and establish and inclusive environment.
I would like to establish a class webpage, or utilize what the school has, to create a place that
both parents and students can go to see assignments, activities, projects, galleries of work, and
get updates.
I plan to email, or mail, updates to parents to make sure they have good feedback on their students. I will also establish office hours after school once or twice a week so parents have time
to schedule meetings if they need to outside of parent teacher conferences.
Keeping grades and progress updated is also important to keep parents informed. During parent teacher conferences I would like for the student to be a part of them so that they can show
their work and create a learning plan together.
