Research has shown that schools are actively seeking ways to better educate 21st century students and boost school performance. However, this cannot be accomplished without the support and service of faculty and staff. Strategies, as the skills listed keep emphasizing, will work if created within a learning community/organization. Demonstrating the skills in FELE Competency 1-02 will foster genuine learning opportunities for both faculty/staff and students. Genuine because faculty/staff will be challenged to tap into their inner potentials and resources. New thinking and practices will transform the school.

These points are based on the number of quizzes taken from books read. It is up to the teacher to choose, tweak, and/or change the goal. I have noticed that Aniyah’s goals have increased each quarter by five points which has boosted her confidence in reading. The appropriate goals have motivated and encouraged Aniyah to take ownership of her reading and has promoted greater reading growth. The ability to see connections between issues, relationships, and applications can shape Aniyah’s learning environment. Also, this particular intermediate school has a literacy team which includes a reading coach, reading specialist, and a counselor who targets struggling children early so that reading problems do not continue to the next grade. I believe this is an excellent way to close achievement gaps between students. UNF and specifically COEHS, has strategies that enhance school climate and support student engagement in learning. For example, research conducted between student and faculty impacts student feelings of connectedness to the school. UNF Crisis Management Team has training sessions and videos (FEMA Active Shooter Training/Shots Fired on Campus Video) which shows UNF’s attention to fostering …show more content…
For example, I will have teachers team up with other teachers to discuss similar problems occurring within the classroom. I will have them brainstorm and come up with a plan that will help the students achieve gains. It is also important to mention classroom management. In order for the classroom to be a learning environment, teachers will have to manage the classroom effectively. Research has shown that teachers' actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as do school policies, assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement (Marzano, 2003). Steps that I will take to begin the school year will emphasize on what is expected in the classroom as far as behavior. I will set rules and regulations with clear consequences for unacceptable behavior. These rules will be enforced throughout the year in which students will eventually become accustom to them. I would also implement well designed professional development such as a collaborative and continuous learning environment. I would also develop a mentoring program to reduce feelings of isolation, increase teacher retention, foster long-lasting relationships, and build up an excess of methods and strategies to draw from throughout the school year (Ambrosetti,
