I have learned how to provide a positive learning environment and how to create a classroom that encourages learners to feel engaged and respected.
Creating a Mission Statement and reviewing it prior to going into the classroom is a great idea.
Always use positive reinforcements as they convey to the students to be successful.
Be positive in all situations and careful with the words you choose.
I enjoyed the looking at the classroom from lthe students view.
I learned different techniques to manage different situations in the classroom adn positive words that will help learning.
Deliver the right knowledge in the right amount of time.
Better ways to respond to negative behavior. Respond in a positive form rather than negative.
Say positive words rather than using there negative opposites.
A successful learning experience sometimes means letting go.
I really like the methods of teaching in this module. It helped me get back into my creative side of things
Vague use of "Native American" technique in this section, without specifying which specific nation used or still uses such a technique is highly problematic. For many reasons.

I really appreciated the tips and scripting for when the class gets a loud
Also, I have never felt comfortable calling on them, but several people who trained me use this technique a lot and say it helps in keeping students engaged and alert in class.

Use an object like a pointer or a pen to be a "talking stick" to suggest that only the person with the talking stick can speak.
I have learned that I need to possibly set up ways for the students to let me know if they are having difficulty without them interrupting the class. I like the note card idea.
Use positivity instead of negative connotations. You CAN do this!

That reaction to difficlt students is; "The goal for an accelerated learning environment is to walk the fine line between learner-directed learning and total chaos."
For me, my job is to model teachability in the classroom. I have to exhibit the quality of being the number 1 learner in the classroom and inspire my students to follow that lead.
This encourages the use of positivity and thinking forward with new ideas, but an appreciation of what you do know.
word choices can make or break your relationship with students!
