NAME: Omari Broussard TARGETED GRADE LEVEL: 7 th grade Explain your vision of the ideal learning environment for the age and subject you intend to teach in a 3 – 5 page original paper. You must answer the questions below, using a 12 point font and double spaced. Then, complete the behavior management plan that supports your vision using the form provided. 1. How do you create and maintain a mutually respectful and collaborative class of actively engaged learners? Include how it responds to student needs and incorporates student strengths and personal experiences. You must use research to support your selection of these strategies and identify and explain the research. Research studies, such as those by Marzano and Marzano (2003), emphasize the importance of clear expectations and norms in classroom management. Set clear behavioral expectations and establish classroom norms collaboratively with students. Encourage students to contribute to defining acceptable behaviors, which fosters a sense of ownership and respect for classroom rules. Tomlinson and Allan (2000) emphasize differentiated instruction to address diverse learner needs. Recognize and accommodate students' varying learning styles, abilities, and prior experiences. Tailor instruction to match individual readiness levels, interests, and strengths. Use a variety of instructional strategies to engage all learners. Ensure that your teaching practices are inclusive and considerate of the diverse backgrounds and abilities of your students. Provide appropriate support and accommodations for students with special needs, like Angelo, while challenging and extending students like Corinne who are gifted and talented. Incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences into your curriculum and teaching methods. Celebrate and acknowledge students' cultural backgrounds and experiences, as exemplified by Nancy's Korean heritage. Foster open and respectful communication in the classroom. Listen actively to students, respond to their questions and concerns, and provide constructive

feedback. Create a safe space where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. 2. . What strategies will you use to build relationships with students? Use research to support your selection of these strategies and identify and explain the research. A study by Roorda et al. (2011) found that getting to know students on a personal level fosters positive relationships. Take the time to learn about each student's interests, background, and experiences. Ask about their hobbies, goals, and challenges. Showing genuine interest in their lives helps build trust and rapport. Practice active listening during interactions with students. Give them your full attention, maintain eye contact, and respond empathetically to their thoughts and concerns. This demonstrates that their voices are valued. Use positive language, praise, and encouragement when interacting with students. Offer constructive feedback in a supportive and non-critical manner. Positive communication fosters a nurturing classroom atmosphere. Positive communication is linked to improved teacher-student relationships (Pianta et al., 2012). Demonstrate empathy by acknowledging students' emotions and experiences. Show understanding and compassion, especially during challenging times. Students are more likely to open up when they feel their emotions are recognized and validated. Design a classroom that is physically and emotionally welcoming. Display student work, provide comfortable seating, and use warm and inviting decor. A welcoming environment sets a positive tone for interactions.

3. How will you physically organize your classroom to ensure flexibility and accommodate the learning needs of all students including those with disabilities? Consider things such as the three zones of proximity and furniture. Public Zone: This is the area near the classroom entrance. It's a welcoming space for informal gatherings, discussions, and sharing. Ensure it's open and inviting for social interaction and collaboration. Arrange a few comfortable chairs or a small seating area here. Semi-Private Zone: The middle area of the classroom is the semi-private zone. It's where most instructional activities occur. Arrange desks or tables in a way that allows for both individual and group work. Use flexible seating options to accommodate different learning preferences and mobility needs. Private Zone: The private zone is typically in the back of the classroom and can be a quieter area for independent work, reflection, or one-on-one discussions. Create a cozy reading nook with comfortable seating and a bookshelf stocked with a variety of reading materials. This zone can also be utilized by students who benefit from reduced distractions. Incorporate flexible seating options like stability balls, standing desks, bean bags, or floor cushions. These options provide students with choices for comfortable seating that suits their learning style and physical needs. Designate a sensory-friendly area in the classroom where students who require sensory breaks can go to relax and self-regulate. Provide sensory tools like fidgets, noise-cancelling headphones, or a sensory wall with textured materials. Use adjustable lighting options to control brightness and reduce sensory overload. Natural lighting and soft, adjustable LED lighting can create a comfortable learning environment. Implement visual schedules or agendas that outline daily routines and activities. This helps students, especially those with autism or other disabilities, understand what to expect throughout the day. Set up

technology stations with adjustable monitors, keyboards, and mice to accommodate students with varying physical abilities. Ensure that assistive technology tools are readily available. 4. Explain how your behavior management plan supports your vision for the ideal learning environment. Clearly outlines expectations for respectful and safe behavior. In an ideal learning environment, students treat each other, the teacher, and the physical space with respect. They feel safe expressing their thoughts and opinions without fear of ridicule or harm. Encourages positive communication, active listening, and empathy. Positive teacher-student and peer relationships are at the core of an ideal learning environment. The behavior plan facilitates the development of trust and strong connections among everyone in the classroom. Teaches self-regulation strategies and conflict resolution skills. In an ideal learning environment, students have the tools to manage their emotions and resolve conflicts peacefully. The behavior plan equips them with these skills, promoting a harmonious atmosphere.
