Teamwork: Students will interact together to understand knowledge and make connections to understand the concepts being taught. Students will help to teach one another by sharing their responses and asking for questions. Students will be able to rely on their classmates for help and support. All students will play a role in our team. Without each member, our team will not be complete.
Meaningful Activities: Students will participate in activities that are meaningful and relevant to their lives. They will know the purpose for activities. Students will come to understand and respect different cultures because they will share their stories as they relate to learning activities. New knowledge will be presented with prior knowledge in mind so students are able to see the relevance in different activities. They will be able to see how things are applied to real-life situations.
Relationships: Students will build relationships with one another. They will interact with one another to learn. They will play and explore on their own to help build and maintain these relationships. Students will participate in small and large groups to express themselves and build upon differences.
Active Engagement: Students need to take ownership of their learning. They need to pay attention and set goals in order to learn. Students will explore with hands-on activities and participate in collaborative activities. This will allow students to have control over their learning. They will be able to make decisions with the assistance of the teacher.
Reflection: Students will know that it is okay to make mistakes and to learn from them. Students will set goals, strive to reach them, and reflect as to whether they met their goal or not. They will learn how to solve problems on their own and to assess how it went.
The principals above are very important to me. I want my students to feel safe, loved, and cared for so they are able to reach their full potential.
