Law Insider. 2024) Following on from the previous question, it is important to promote appropriate behavior and respect for others because as teachers we want to create safe and inclusive spaces where people can learn to the best of their ability. Kefallinou Symeonidou and Meijer stated that ‘a personalized approach is particularly important for dealing with behavior, social, and/or emotional problems that form great challenges in inclusive education’. (Kefallinou, A & Symeonidou, S, & Meijer W, 2020) I involve my groups in the setting of ground rules from the beginning of a session. CDP Online College stated of involving the group in rule setting; ‘That way if any student crosses the line, it not only goes against your rules, it goes against the ethos of the whole class – and is less likely to be favourably received by classmates’ (CPD Online College, 2020). Some examples of what these ground rules could include are: • Not speaking over other learners. Respecting the opinions and contributions of others. Being on time returning from breaks. Not having mobile devices or laptops out during the session. I have been involved in situations where
Every student has a diverse learning style. I believe that students should learn in a safe, caring, and understanding environment. As professional educators, we should provide this safe and open-minded environment.The ways to ensure this environment is to make sure students are actively involved in their education, to make sure teachers are providing the best materials for students to learn, and to make sure parents and the community are involved in students education.
It is my strong belief that each child is entitled to a safe, secure, stimulating and caring learning environment. I always believed that each child is a unique individual with much curiosity and many academic, social and emotional needs. Children need our support in order to mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. As a teacher, one should aim to help students in fulfilling their dreams to become successful and educated individuals. We must provide them with a safe learning environment for their learning to succeed.
I want the nature of the students to be relaxed, and energetic. I want the children to be curious and involved in every aspect of the learning process. I hope that the students will learn through hands on activities, as well as group and visual lessons. The students in my class should feel that the classroom...

As the instructor in my classroom, I am responsible for making sure that my students reach the highest possible level of understanding in the subject area that I teach.
The environment in which a student learns is integral to how much they learn and how they feel about learning. Jones & Jones (2016) believe that “effective classroom management is first and foremost about creating classroom environments in which all students feel safe and valued”(p.7). As teachers, we are faced creating the type of environment in which students will thrive. Part of creating this type of environment, involves creating clear and concise classroom expectations for students to meet. In additions to creating expectations, it is also up to the teacher to “respond effectively when students behave in ways that detrat from their own learning” (Jones & Jones, 2016, p. 9). Although it is not always the highlight of our teaching career,
Standard 4 This page will provide information about Graduate Standard 4- Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments through evidence supporting my knowledge and professional experiences about this standard. 4.1 Support children’s involvement A key part of creating a supportive learning environment is to encourage and support children participation.

I believe that each child is a unique special individual who needs a secure, caring, and safe atmosphere to where they can get there best learning from, where they can also grow and mature emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually. It is my desire as a future educator to help students meet their upmost fullest potential, by providing an environment that is safe, respectful and supports risk-taking. There are many elements that I believe contributes to making an environment that is nurturing, safe and respectful. Here are few elements that can contribute to this kind of environment. 1) A teacher should get to know their students and really listen
An established set of fair rules and consequences needs to be made as well as follow through at all times. I automatically think to the golden rule and how much it applies to classroom management. We learn the golden rule from Kindergarten and continue to apply it but that is because it is so important. We must treat others as we wish to be treated as students and as we grow.
What strategies would I use? Giving me the chance to gather data, meet individual learner needs, to pick and choose how different strategies work. It lets me have control and showed me how I could change the class by giving assignments, asking questions, and following lesson plans for each day. What a unique experience. Teaching values and morals, meeting the needs of
But as we grow and get older, the lengthy list of regulations significantly become very brief as professors and teachers expect their students to act professional and obedient. A quick lineup of three of the class norms that are put into play for my sociology class that I feel are most important is respect others opinions and ideas, appreciate others personal space and property and last but not least treat others they way you want to be treated or better known as “The Golden Rule”. These three are most important to myself because they all have to do with showing appreciation for the peers around you. Opinions can be and most of the time are controversial thus, making it difficult for others to agree with some of the same beliefs as one another. By considering others feelings, not just your own, it can make the point of view of someone else much more clear. In addition to respecting others opinions, it is vital to recognize the space of the common people you are currently in the room with. And finally, honoring others in a way that you would want to be honored is an exceptional act that will make each and everyone feel

Research shows that the learning environment encompasses more than just the classroom that learning and teaching takes place. Many factors contribute to a learning environment, including the students, teachers, parents, school staff, policy makers, specialists, support staff, community members and the different learning spaces and resources available. This reflective journal will discuss some ways that teachers can set up the learning environment to maximise teaching and learning and some potential advantages and difficulties for me as a new teacher.
A successful classroom should also allow students to work hand in hand, as they help their fellow peers and interact with one another. The learning environment that I provide my students with will be safe and well-organized, while simultaneously
