Standard III: Teachers are responsible for establishing and managing student learning in a positive learning environment.

I believe that children learn best in a positive, safe, equitable environment.  My goal is to create such a climate so that my students may flourish as learners and as people.

B4:  Establishing and maintaining consistent standards of classroom behavior.
 
The expectations for appropriate behavior in my class are clear and consistently enforced.  My students are aware of the expectations but when it is necessary, I remind them of the behavioral expectations of the classroom.

C3: Encouraging students to extend their thinking
 
Every once in a while, I sit back and let the students teach themselves.  I allow them to take control of their education, which forces them to think beyond just the task at hand.
