2a Creating an Environment of Respect and Rapport
While student teaching my goal was to create an environment of respect and positive rapport. To the left is a clip of a discussion where students display respect and positive rapport to the classroom community.
2b Establishing a Culture for Learning
In order for classrooms to run smoothly, the teacher must prepare and plan accordingly. To the left is a classroom management plan I created from my coursework at Rutgers University.
2c Managing Classroom Procedures
Each class started off with a Do Now assignment for students to complete as a daily classroom ritual, which also served as a classroom management strategy. To the right is an example of a typical Do Now task in my clinical internship.
2d Managing Student Behaviors
Students participated in daily check-ins to discuss their dance skills through a virtual lens. I believe that open communication with students and responding to their needs is the best way to manage behavior.
2e Organizing Physical Space
A safe classroom welcomes each and every student; in September creating a socially distanced, organized space provided each dancer to comfortably move and tap into their artistry.
