Your First Year as a CTE Teacher (Part 1) --> Creating a Positive Learning Environment
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
The importance of safety in the lab and what the industry also expects. Positive reinforcement of the safety procedures and constant reminders.
I’ve learned that students succeed when they feel safe, respected, and supported. As a new CTE teacher, I’ll set clear expectations, build strong relationships, and create a welcoming classroom space. Positive reinforcement and consistency will be key.
Safety, safety, safety! There is nothing more important than keeping everybody safe. Safety sign-offs and procedure check lists are important. Never leave kids unsupervised! Set boundaries and expectations!
Ba approachable and make sure to make/have respectable boundaries, but be approachable. Always make sure the students know you are human and so are they. Mistakes happen but we all need to be aware that we need to keep a safe and smooth running environment
I’ve learned the importance of a first impression and how it can set the tone for the rest of the course. I want to create a positive and engaging experience from day one. To help with this, I’m looking for a fun way to introduce my students to the lab space, something interactive that makes them feel comfortable and curious. I’m also planning to start using Bell Ringers to get students focused and ready to learn as soon as they walk in
Ba approachable. Respect boundaries, but be approachable. Be a human too. Admit mistakes and move on.
My teaching philosophy is an explanation of my values and beliefs as these relate to teaching. As a new CTE teacher I am discovering my teaching philosophy. Safety is paramount to everything I do!
I learned that providing a safe environment is essential to protect the students and the teachers. Also, modeling respect and regulation is important for the student's success in the CTE classes.
Nothing is more important than safety, taking the time to do things correctly will help minimize injuries on the job. We must teach best practices.
The Safety of students is highly important for a good successful classroom environment. Apply routine drills and having security on campus will make students feel secure and Ager to learn
Create a culture of availability- students like fast feedback. Tell them you are party of their journey
Safety needs to be day one, and re-enforced often!
Training and safety are very important. I like the layout and information provided about various safety options as well as the auto class example given to bring awareness. I did not know that the CDC has an entire booklet on CTE safety and training. I intend to print it off and read through it.
Safety is the number one priority. Demonstrating safe procedures and use of machines in necessary. Supervision of students in the shop is imperative at all times.
Positive first impressions are good.
Safety should always be our top priority in the classroom.
Classroom safety should always be the first priority.
Having a good safety plan of how your classroom is layed out and of all of it's safety features. I have a blank layout of my class room and students have to walk around the classroom and put all the safety attributes on the blank layout worksheet. It shows all of the fire extingishers, fire blankets, emergency exits, eyewash stations, power shutoff switches, first aid kits, safety data sheet workbook, fresh air exhaust and fans, hand washing station etc etc...
Safety is very important in the classroom.
