Knowledge of Students
Ice Cream Social- students meet their teachers and see their classrooms and be able to enjoy an ice cream sandwich. One potential teaching tactic I might employ is to meet my pupils and find out about their nights and mornings before beginning any academic lessons. I would do this action to establish a rapport with my kids and demonstrate my concern for them as unique persons. If I can demonstrate that I am a reliable adult, then my students will be able to feel comfortable. More learning can take place in a classroom when kids feel comfortable and safe.
One way to teach this factor would be to demonstrate how to use resources for a project that is coming up. To create a poster for a project, supplies like scissors, glue, construction paper,
and glitter may be needed. I would call the children over to the carpet and have everything set up
in front of me so that I could make sure every student understood how to use the items. To ensure
that all pupils could see, I would make sure to sit at their level. I would begin by reading the project instructions out loud. Every time the instructions asked for the usage of a resource, I would pull it up so the kids could know which one I was referring to. After reading the instructions through one more time, I would show the children by doing some demonstrations (e.g., showing them how to wield scissors, apply glue dots appropriately, cut construction paper, and use glitter without making a mess). I would have a tangible example of how the project ought to be finished after the demonstration. The pupils who rarely have access to these
resources and a new perspective on how to use them might gain from this example given in class.
Students could "check out" the materials from me if they didn't have the necessary resource.
The district element I have selected for this project is the nearly 20 percent of our student body that is made up of English Language Learners, or ELLs. Differentiating education for these students is one instructional method that I would need to use in my classroom. Clear and exact instructions with repetition as necessary would be part of the differentiated instruction for the students. There will be extra time allotted for assignments, particularly for those students who have trouble learning English. The kids could readily see the ESOL teachers for quizzes or tests; if one was not available at that moment, they would come see me. Inquiring about the family as a
whole is also necessary; for example, are any of the parents fluent in English? Are the parents both English speaking? Is there a parent who speaks English only? What level of proficiency does the child have in English? In addition, I'll need to decide how I'll interact with the parents, work with the ESOL teacher, and ask someone to translate at meetings. One educational strategy I would implement in the classroom is assigning English Language Learners (ELL) pupils a peer buddy for class periods. One way to achieve this would be to have a student who excels in a topic assist a student who is having difficulty. Throughout the learning process, they could assist students with reading instructions, clarify subject matter, and/or provide tutoring. Both the non-struggling student and the struggling student would benefit
from this because the former would have more practice with the subject matter and the latter would have a friend who could help them understand the material and complete the task more easily.
Creative Curriculum is the first tool I would utilize in my classroom to support student learning. Throughout the sessions, the curriculum gives the pupils practical experiences through
books, poems, singing, and dancing, among other mediums. Students can take part in studies on construction, recycling, apparel, balls, and trees. Students have several opportunity to study writing, reading, arithmetic, art, and music within the curriculum. Using this resource, I would help kids learn by having them take part in a recycling project where they bring in items from their neighborhood and home and discover other uses for them. Anything from repurposing a milk carton from a school lunch to use it as a planter rather than tossing it in the garbage to recycling materials if you can't find new and inventive uses for them. The smartboard that is presented in the classroom is the second tool I would employ to encourage student learning. Since my kids are unable to go on real field trips outside of the classroom, I would use this in a variety of ways. For example, I would use it to allow my students to interact with the technology by writing numbers, letters, or shapes on the board during a lesson. Students could go to any location, such as a French museum or a recycling plant in the town.
The feature I've selected is the presence of English language learners, or students who speak English as a second language (ELL). With iPads loaded with eSpark Learning, which gives
kids individualized instruction in literacy, vocabulary, and core skills, this is the tool I would utilize to improve student learning. In addition to working one-on-one with the students to give them practical language practice, I would use this resource to offer the students support and assistance when needed. One example of norms, protocols and agreements are when students arrive into the classroom they put their backpack away, greet the teacher and get breakfast if they want it. Through this approach, students acquire knowledge about expectations not only for their arrival in the classroom but also for their behavior within it, including adhering to rules, conventions, and agreements. Knowing what is expected of them in the morning helps pupils learn better

throughout the classroom and school since they are better able to concentrate on the lessons being taught. Students can become fully engaged in the lessons and activities throughout the day by adhering to the conventions, protocols, and agreements that provide order to the classroom and provide a tranquil learning atmosphere.
One example of technology norm, protocol and agreement is the use of Chromebooks. When students are done with their assignments, they are able to go on the Chromebook and play on Dreambox or do typing club. Dreambox is a math program that is an adaptable solution that is
simple to use and gives K-8 students interesting, tailored training to help students comprehend arithmetic better. Typing club leads pupils through short, manageable keyboarding lessons and provides them with a series of speed and accuracy tests for each. Lessons vary from long, relevant paragraphs to the home row.
A custom, procedure, or understanding that my pupils and I establish together would be the guidelines and standards for the classroom. If students collaborate to set standards for both themselves and other students in the classroom, they will develop a stronger sense of community within the classroom and be more accountable for their behavior. Whether the teacher is lecturing
the class, the students are working in groups, or they are spending free time in the classroom with their peers, it helps the students understand what is expected of them throughout the day. Establishing guidelines and standards for behavior in the classroom helps kids become more focused and aware of what is expected of them throughout the day, which in turn creates a tranquil working atmosphere for everyone. Getting to know your students through an activity like this would have a positive impact on my ability to involve my pupils in the process of establishing classroom norms. For instance, letting the kids make rules for the classroom will help them develop a sense of awareness and
community standards. As a result of being held accountable for their activities and expected to establish high standards for themselves, pupils will be more accountable. All things considered, it
will assist students in understanding expectations at all times, whether during whole-group instruction, small-group discussions, or leisure time.
The student is interested in Harry Potter. She rated herself as a 2 for reading. I could allow free reading time when the student is done with her work. This could help her increase her reading. It would also allow her to increase her interest more into reading. Another thing, she rated herself for writing ideas as a one. I could give her visual examples of ideas where other students have ideas and how they are writing about it. She also rated herself as 2 for talking or playing with others. What I would like to do with her, for a lesson, I can allow group work with another classmate of hers that she gets along well with. This will be able to help her to have more
discussion with her classmate and allow her to know more about her classmate. This will also help her more to interact with other classmates. Student number 1 is shy unless if she is with a group of classmates that she gets along well with. Student number 2 is very outgoing, he plays with the classmates that knows very well and communicates with others. Both of the students are from America. Student number 1 understands the concept of math more than student number 2. She is able to know her addition, subtracting, multiplication, and division apart. Student number 2 mixes up his multiplication with addition, and his division with subtraction. These two when they are placed together, they help each other out. As I took them out in order for them to do the student inventory, I saw how well they worked with each other. Student number 1 helps out student number 2 with his spelling
while he helps her out with working in small pairs. This shows on how students are able to help each other out by understanding one another.
One possible strategy that I could use with student number 1 is Kahoot! A game-based learning platform called Kahoot! makes it simple to design, share, and participate in educational games and trivia contests in a matter of minutes. Let the fun begin in living rooms, offices, and classrooms! The “Kahoot!” can be full of different reading activities for example, it could be a spelling activity in the “Kahoot!” where she will be able to choose the right spelling of a given word. For example, in her social studies class, they are learning about how the government works. So, a word that would be given in the “Kahoot!” would be governor then she would have four options to choose the right spelling of governor. This will be able to help her understand more of her spelling and helping her out more with her reading. She could also play this game throughout the school year during either her free time or at home.
I could do the same thing with student number 2 but instead of doing a spelling “Kahoot!” with him, I could do a math “Kahoot!” This activity will be able to help him understand the concept of math much better. The learning needs that he needs is to practice more math. This game will be available throughout the whole school year whenever he wants to practice his math during his free time or at home. The more he practices, the more he’ll be able to understand the difference between addition, multiplication, subtracting and dividing. Parents gain from effective parent-school communication. The degree to which parents participate in their children's education at home varies depending on how schools connect and communicate with them. For instance, schools that emphasize breaking bad news about student performance over praising kids' achievements would deter parent involvement by giving parents the impression that they are unable to support their children in the way that would be most beneficial to them. Involvement in their children's education also benefits parents, who learn

more about the school's academic program and how it operates as well as receive ideas from the school on how to encourage and assist their children. Most importantly, parents gain confidence in the importance of their involvement in the school. Parents get a deeper understanding of the crucial role they play in their kids' education. I will communicate with parents by either via email
or sending a letter home allowing them to know about what their child has been learning in the classroom. Other communication that I can also use is to tell the parents that they can ask for parent conferences. I will send out weekly emails to remind them what the students have to do in

Effective communication is one of a teacher's most critical competencies. Good communication with students promotes their success and builds a healthy learning environment. Building great relationships with students, parents, and coworkers is another benefit of having effective communication skills as a teacher. Teachers are not in control of their surroundings, in contrast to other professions like surgeons, pilots, or engineers. Taking charge of a classroom's daily operations is not their responsibility. To guarantee that students maintain their focus and have a favorable relationship with the teacher and school, teachers must, however, demonstrate leadership qualities and positive behavior in today's fast-paced culture. instructors may place themselves in a position to be continuously criticized or picked on for things that other instructors or parents find objectionable if they avoid engaging with parents or the school. A healthy relationship is based on mutual respect and two-way communication. It has been demonstrated that pleasant interactions between instructors and students have a beneficial effect on student accomplishments, involvement, and classroom engagement. It has even been proposed that the tendency for low-income pupils to perform worse academically may be counteracted by these supporting ties. This is due to the fact that students who feel encouraged are more inclined to undertake challenges, ask for assistance when needed, and voice their own opinions during class discussions. Increased participation and engagement subsequently result in more advanced knowledge and greater success. Communication is the foundation of a supportive learning environment. Get to know the pupils well and reassure them that they will not face humiliation or judgment in the classroom. There will be an open-door policy where the students can come and talk to me about any issues, and I will be empathic and caring whenever I am interacting with them at all times. Most of the students might not feel comfortable talking in front of the
class. If they don’t feel comfortable, there will be no forced participation because that is completely unnecessary. A more comfortable learning environment is created in the classroom through group discussions and teamwork. Students can more readily communicate their thoughts
and develop their personal communication abilities by working in small groups.
