Malak Baakil Prof. Bennett EDU 390 8 December 2023 Knowledge of Students Ice Cream Social- students meet their teachers and see their classrooms and be able to enjoy an ice cream sandwich. One potential teaching tactic I might employ is to meet my pupils and find out about their nights and mornings before beginning any academic lessons. I would do this action to establish a rapport with my kids and demonstrate my concern for them as unique persons. If I can demonstrate that I am a reliable adult, then my students will be able to feel comfortable. More learning can take place in a classroom when kids feel comfortable and safe. One way to teach this factor would be to demonstrate how to use resources for a project that is coming up. To create a poster for a project, supplies like scissors, glue, construction paper, and glitter may be needed. I would call the children over to the carpet and have everything set up in front of me so that I could make sure every student understood how to use the items. To ensure that all pupils could see, I would make sure to sit at their level. I would begin by reading the project instructions out loud. Every time the instructions asked for the usage of a resource, I would pull it up so the kids could know which one I was referring to. After reading the instructions through one more time, I would show the children by doing some demonstrations (e.g., showing them how to wield scissors, apply glue dots appropriately, cut construction paper, and use glitter without making a mess). I would have a tangible example of how the project ought to be finished after the demonstration. The pupils who rarely have access to these

resources and a new perspective on how to use them might gain from this example given in class. Students could "check out" the materials from me if they didn't have the necessary resource. The district element I have selected for this project is the nearly 20 percent of our student body that is made up of English Language Learners, or ELLs. Differentiating education for these students is one instructional method that I would need to use in my classroom. Clear and exact instructions with repetition as necessary would be part of the differentiated instruction for the students. There will be extra time allotted for assignments, particularly for those students who have trouble learning English. The kids could readily see the ESOL teachers for quizzes or tests; if one was not available at that moment, they would come see me. Inquiring about the family as a whole is also necessary; for example, are any of the parents fluent in English? Are the parents both English speaking? Is there a parent who speaks English only? What level of proficiency does the child have in English? In addition, I'll need to decide how I'll interact with the parents, work with the ESOL teacher, and ask someone to translate at meetings. One educational strategy I would implement in the classroom is assigning English Language Learners (ELL) pupils a peer buddy for class periods. One way to achieve this would be to have a student who excels in a topic assist a student who is having difficulty. Throughout the learning process, they could assist students with reading instructions, clarify subject matter, and/or provide tutoring. Both the non-struggling student and the struggling student would benefit from this because the former would have more practice with the subject matter and the latter would have a friend who could help them understand the material and complete the task more easily. Creative Curriculum is the first tool I would utilize in my classroom to support student learning. Throughout the sessions, the curriculum gives the pupils practical experiences through

books, poems, singing, and dancing, among other mediums. Students can take part in studies on construction, recycling, apparel, balls, and trees. Students have several opportunity to study writing, reading, arithmetic, art, and music within the curriculum. Using this resource, I would help kids learn by having them take part in a recycling project where they bring in items from their neighborhood and home and discover other uses for them. Anything from repurposing a milk carton from a school lunch to use it as a planter rather than tossing it in the garbage to recycling materials if you can't find new and inventive uses for them. The smartboard that is presented in the classroom is the second tool I would employ to encourage student learning. Since my kids are unable to go on real field trips outside of the classroom, I would use this in a variety of ways. For example, I would use it to allow my students to interact with the technology by writing numbers, letters, or shapes on the board during a lesson. Students could go to any location, such as a French museum or a recycling plant in the town. The feature I've selected is the presence of English language learners, or students who speak English as a second language (ELL). With iPads loaded with eSpark Learning, which gives kids individualized instruction in literacy, vocabulary, and core skills, this is the tool I would utilize to improve student learning. In addition to working one-on-one with the students to give them practical language practice, I would use this resource to offer the students support and assistance when needed. One example of norms, protocols and agreements are when students arrive into the classroom they put their backpack away, greet the teacher and get breakfast if they want it. Through this approach, students acquire knowledge about expectations not only for their arrival in the classroom but also for their behavior within it, including adhering to rules, conventions, and agreements. Knowing what is expected of them in the morning helps pupils learn better

throughout the classroom and school since they are better able to concentrate on the lessons being taught. Students can become fully engaged in the lessons and activities throughout the day by adhering to the conventions, protocols, and agreements that provide order to the classroom and provide a tranquil learning atmosphere. One example of technology norm, protocol and agreement is the use of Chromebooks. When students are done with their assignments, they are able to go on the Chromebook and play on Dreambox or do typing club. Dreambox is a math program that is an adaptable solution that is simple to use and gives K-8 students interesting, tailored training to help students comprehend arithmetic better. Typing club leads pupils through short, manageable keyboarding lessons and provides them with a series of speed and accuracy tests for each. Lessons vary from long, relevant paragraphs to the home row. A custom, procedure, or understanding that my pupils and I establish together would be the guidelines and standards for the classroom. If students collaborate to set standards for both themselves and other students in the classroom, they will develop a stronger sense of community within the classroom and be more accountable for their behavior. Whether the teacher is lecturing the class, the students are working in groups, or they are spending free time in the classroom with their peers, it helps the students understand what is expected of them throughout the day. Establishing guidelines and standards for behavior in the classroom helps kids become more focused and aware of what is expected of them throughout the day, which in turn creates a tranquil working atmosphere for everyone. Getting to know your students through an activity like this would have a positive impact on my ability to involve my pupils in the process of establishing classroom norms. For instance, letting the kids make rules for the classroom will help them develop a sense of awareness and
