Assignment 3
1. As a Student: What Was Important to You?

Engagement: Engaged students are more likely to retain information and develop
a love for learning. Engagement keeps students motivated and interested. It
fosters deeper learning and allows students to connect with the material.
Clarity and Structure: Were the lessons well-organized? Were the expectations
Clarity ensures that students know the objectives of the lesson and how to
achieve them, which reduces confusion and anxiety.
Support and Feedback: Support in the form of constructive feedback allows
students to improve and feel valued.
Feedback promotes growth and learning, helping students identify their strengths
and areas for improvement.
Inclusivity and Fairness: Inclusivity ensures that all students have the opportunity
to learn and participate fully.
A diverse and inclusive environment allows for multiple perspectives, fostering
critical thinking and ensuring that every student feels seen and valued.
2. As a Teacher (or Future Teacher): What Will Be Important to You?

Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment: Students need to feel safe—
emotionally and physically—in order to learn. This includes fostering respectful
peer interactions and promoting a culture of acceptance and encouragement.
Implementation: Establish clear classroom norms and model empathy and
respect. Use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and create a
welcoming space for all students.
Differentiation and Personalization: Recognizing that each student learns
differently is key to effective teaching. Differentiating instruction means adapting
lessons to meet the diverse needs of students.
Implementation: Use varied teaching methods (visuals, hands-on activities,
technology, etc.) and offer different levels of challenges or supports. Provide
choices in assignments to cater to different learning styles.
Encouraging Active Learning: Shift away from passive learning (e.g., lectures) and
create opportunities for students to actively engage with the content through
discussions, group work, projects, and problem-solving.
Implementation: Incorporate active learning strategies such as
cooperative learning groups, project-based learning, and inquiry-based activities
to help students construct their own understanding.
3. Implementing These Values in Your Classroom

Instructional Strategies:
Use project-based learning to allow students to explore real-world problems and
take ownership of their learning.
Implement differentiated instruction by offering varied activities that cater to
different abilities and learning preferences.
Incorporate formative assessments (e.g., quizzes, polls, reflective journals) to track
student progress and adjust your instruction accordingly.
Scaffold learning by breaking complex tasks into manageable steps, providing
models or examples, and gradually removing support as students become more
confident.
Classroom Management Techniques:
Establish a positive classroom culture by setting clear expectations and building
strong relationships with students.
Use restorative practices for conflict resolution, focusing on repairing relationships
rather than just punishing behavior.
Implement proactive strategies like assigning roles, creating structured routines,
and using signals for transitions to minimize disruptions.
Use student-centered approaches where students have a say in the classroom
rules, allowing them to feel a sense of ownership over their environment.
Ongoing Reflection and Flexibility: As a teacher, you’ll need to continually reflect
on your practices. What’s working? What’s not? Be flexible and willing to adjust
based on the needs of your students.
4. Why These Elements Are Important

By focusing on these elements, you are aiming to create a holistic learning
environment where every student can thrive, not just academically, but also
socially and emotionally.
By considering what mattered to you as a student and what you value as a
teacher, you can thoughtfully design an educational approach that promotes
engagement, support, inclusivity, and active learning. It’s about creating a space
where students feel empowered and equipped to succeed both inside and
outside the classroom.
ALTERNATIVE FUTURE PLANS:
1. Engagement Plan: Active and Interactive Learning

Objective: Create a classroom environment where students are fully engaged in
their learning through a variety of interactive activities.
Key Actions:
Incorporate Varied Teaching Methods:
Discussion-Based Learning: Start lessons with thought-provoking questions and
have students discuss in pairs or small groups before sharing with the class. This
builds peer-to-peer learning and encourages active participation.
Hands-on Learning: Incorporate activities that require students to physically
engage with the content, such as experiments in science or role-playing in
literature/social studies.
Use Technology: Leverage apps, simulations, or online quizzes (e.g., Kahoot,
Quizizz) to keep students actively involved and provide instant feedback on their
understanding.
Encourage Student Choice:
Project Options: Allow students to choose from different types of projects or
presentation methods (e.g., create a video, write a report, make a presentation).
This helps cater to their strengths and interests.
Flexible Seating: Offer varied seating arrangements where students can choose
how and where they learn best (e.g., working at desks, standing, or sitting on the
floor).
