Classroom layout
I want a room sorta like Mrs. Godfrey's where its almost secluded and by itself. With a smart board in the front but if I could choose I think it would be cool to have a chalkboard.

How do I plan on utilizing the school community to set students up for learning success

How Children Learn
What is, Children learn based on all the theories of education, it can give teachers a guide to help students learn the most efficient way?
Am I a Progressivist
What is, not really because I feel like the teacher needs to have more of a role in the classroom
Inclusiveness in the class
Inclusiveness can make a class more impactful because if everybody feels like they belong they will want to come to class.
Leadership in the Classroom
I plan to show leadership in the classroom by having a no-off limit classroom, anything you want to talk we can talk about (within school rules). I firmly believe in the topics everyone avoids are the things that need answered the most. If the students trust me, I have their respect and if I have their respect, I have their trust.

Hopefully not the Cowboys, Giants, or Seahawks. Probably the Eagles and maybe the Chiefs. Bets on the underdog Dolphins to make the Conference round
Personal Learning as a Teacher
I still plan to learn as a teacher but by current events and things going on around the world. At a certain point you stop learning about everything in the past and focus on things going on in the world. This coincides with my CMP of going over current events. This helps me and my students learn and focus on the future of the world.
What personal events have affected your path to becoming and educator
What is, most of the teachers I've had in high school that really cared about making an impact on their students and truly were in it not for the money.

Differentiated Learning Techniques
I plan to give students the chance to have choices for their coursework in the form of like a bingo or 3-in-a-row type thing. This gives students whatever they tend to like will have a chance to understand the work on the same level in a sense.
