At times, I remember students felt it was unfair when certain students "got away" with something, while others received a friendly warning. I think as teachers it is important to maintain a very unbiased consequence strategy. It is unfair when students can start to pick-up on the unjust rule of consequences.

Fostering a classroom culture in which promotes positive behavior, yet firm in consequences will allow students to feel protected and safe in the classroom.

Teacher vulnerability is just was important as creating a space for students to be vulnerable. When my teachers didn't know the answers and would say, "What an excellent question. Would it be okay if I could research on it a bit more and get back to you?" When teachers admit that they don't know everything, but are willing to find an answer, it makes me feel like my teacher genuinely cares.

We have our personal experiences and mentors, as well as videos that tell us what kind of procedures and policies to set in stone for our classroom, in order to run a successful class. But are we implementing these strategies and methods of others because it has been a repeated act amongst teachers, or is it because we know that this works?

So when a behavior is modeled by another student, this can create a domino effect for others to pick-up on. But it's also powerful when used positively. Sun, 31 Oct 2021 22:31:06 -0400
