1. 1st Response
Providing a Safe and Orderly Environment in the classroom is
very important. I believe I would be most effective in the area
of management. By allowing the students to be involved in
setting the classroom rules they are more inclined to obey the
rules set forth. This shows ownership and enhances students
self esteem and self concept. Students needs to feel safe in the
learning environment. It is conducive to learning. Many
students comes from various types of homes.
Often times the learning environment is the only place were
they feel loved and safe. It gives a sense of security. As an
educator, that's why it is so important to be a positive role
model. Not only by displaying appropriate behaviors in the
classroom as well.
Student/ Teacher Relationship The Relationship between an
educator and their students is very important. Their much be
open lines of communication. Educators should not treat their
students as their friend but as student. Respect is essential in
order for learning to take placed.
Personally, I need guidance on ways of arranging sitting
arrangements within the classroom. Learning which students to
group together is the key to providing discipline.

What are the most effective things I can do to prevent or reduce
the likelihood of misbehavior?
I feel really confident about these fundamental questions only

2. because since working in the school system for the past six
months I have come to realize that students act out because of a
multitude of things. As a teacher, it is your job to realize why
each child acts out and remember exactly why it happens
because I am more than certain you will see that same behavior
again. Like the lecture said it is important that you the educator
identify the problem and zoom in. Fortunately, through
experience, I can detect a misbehavior issue coming which can
help take the correct steps to help address the problem before it
gets serious. I find things like extrinsic motivation or pulling
students aside and reaching out from a personal level has
always helped prevent a big misbehavior outbreak.
Why kind of behaviors should I expect of students?
This is the one question I definitely feel like I would struggle
with the most because there is a lot of things that are unknown.
For example, if I have not known Johnny for so long and I'm
still getting to know him I'm not really sure how he is going to
act out. Every student is different and no one can really be sure
what to expect of students. All you can do is recall how you
have used past experiences to approach each misbehavior.
Stay calm and take it one step at a time understand that you are
in control of the situation no matter what happens.
