I always try to create a comfortable environment in my classroom and improve my teaching skills to make positive impact to my students.
students need to be in a motivated environment. help them become motivated by having a encouraging attitude, answer students with positivity, and help create goals with steps to achieve the goals with them.
I look forward to instilling emotional intelligence in my students moving forward
I always try my hardest to have a positive attitude, I do believe by understanding that our own characteristics and motivation can always help us with students
Emotional Intelligence is just as important as intelligence.
be courteous, greet them hello, play music to hype them up as they enter
I’ve learned the importance of creating a positive and engaging environment for students to succeed, both in and out of the classroom. It’s not just about teaching content, but also about helping students develop EQ (Emotional Intelligence), which research shows can be even more important than IQ for long-term success.
By focusing on characteristics like dependability, honesty, self-efficacy, and teamwork, I can help students build the soft skills they need to overcome obstacles and thrive in their careers. I apply this by incorporating interactive and motivating techniques in my lessons, whether it’s using visualization exercises, telling stories, or creating a positive atmosphere where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities.
At the beginning of every term, I tell my students that this is the "touchy-feely mod" because I teach them personal life lessons that will help them succeed once they graduate (I teach the final term of our program). On day one, I emphasize that they must be “100% responsible for their life and everything that happens in it.” This means not blaming others for failures and not letting themselves off the hook for their mistakes, but instead taking full responsibility and learning what they can do differently next time.
Helping students understand their emotions, stay motivated, and set goals will not only boost their academic success but also prepare them for the challenges they’ll face beyond school.
checking in with students who were absent during the most recent class session builds rapport and creates trust. "Hello, is everything alright? I noticed you were absent yesterday. Please see me 1:1 when you have a few moments, and I'll catch you up on what you missed." If we don't have this conversation our student can believe we don't care about their success. Having the conversation demonstrates care and initiates a coaching session so our student has a better understanding of what needs to be accomplished to be successful.
Creating a positive learning environment is key to managing your classroom. Without positive reinforcement students will avoid attending class and feel like their goals are not supported. I will apply the WIFFM - what in it for me when it comes to my students. I already had this approach, but defining it in this way helps to develop an even better approach for my students.
Connecting with students from the start is so important. Setting up a good comfortable environment for them to learn is very important. Everyone in the school should be welcoming to the students and try to connect with them to help them achieve their goals. I try to do my best in learning stories about my students to get to know them and better help them.
Cultivating a good experience for student can make a difference in a letter grade knowing that there is support behind that student.
Students are more intrigued when they hear real-life experiences. It is important to be honest about your decisions and your reason for sticking with your goals.
Everyone should feel welcome and comfortable in order to enhance their learning experience.
Making a positive impact is important. You need to advocate for students to help them continue their education
I really believed that Emotional Intelligence is more important than IQ.
I think it makes sense that students are more likely to believe in themselves when they can see others believing in them as well.
EQ is a powerful driving force. As educators we need to really help students see the vision to help them push through difficult times. Turning negative self talk into positive is an important part.
It's important to create a friendly and interesting learning space. Encourage students to set goals they can actually achieve and pay attention to feelings and help students develop good qualities like being reliable, honest, and having a positive attitude. The idea is to make learning fun and right for everyone.
Comment on Rena Lloyd's post:
The classroom should be a safe area where the students are able to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Encouraging discussion and interactions with each other is an important part of the learning experience. When students are involved retention increases.
