Welcome back bloggers!
In class this week, we watch a classroom tour video! Within this video, the teacher took us around her middle school classroom. First impression of the class... it was BRIGHT! I think a bright, colorful classroom provides a positive learning environment for the students! Second thought, it is too organized! This is definitely something I wish to be like in my future classroom. There were many posters on the wall that displayed what subjects she taught. It also had a homie feel, with all of her pictures from her own personal life. Another important thing that I noticed when watching the video was her enthusiasm. You could tell that the teacher was very excited and that she truly loves her job! It is so important to have teachers like this because if they are happy and excited about teaching, then the students will be excited about learning. It creates a positive environment for all!
Another thing that we took a look at this week was culturally relevant pedagogy! This video talked about how each student that makes up a class will bring their own culture to it. It is the job of the school/teacher to adapt to each of there students and who they are. It should not be the students adapting to what the school wants of them. Teachers should be cultural connection builders, this means providing understanding, creating relationships, and promoting inclusivity among all. Teachers should be focusing on making sure they aren't making a students culture their only trait. Such as not grouping all Latino's together just because of their culture. Students should all be integrated regardless of their culture. This is definitely something that will help make all students feel welcome for who they are!
Thanks for reading:)
