Structuring Classroom Environment
This area of my portfolio includes artifacts under the competency "Structuring Classroom Environment". These artifacts include my teaching belief matrix which includes some of my core beliefs about essential components absolutely necessary for a teacher to consider in order to be an excellent teacher, an overview of the classroom management techniques and strategies that I utilized during student teaching, a behavior reward that I did with my Kindergarten students during student teaching, and lastly a change/inquiry research project I conducted in collaboration with another undergraduate peer. These artifacts provide a sense of how I hope to structure my classroom from physical arrangement to building a sense of community among my students.
