Supportive Learning Environment

Improved Essays
When I enter a class where the dominant language is different than the language being spoken, I am likely to fall into anxiety attack. I will likely to experience lack of confidence, and insomnia in some cases. If I was asked to speak in the class, it will be difficult to speak because I will be reluctant to speak knowing that I will not conversant with the language of the class. I will feel lonely in this kind of environment, a problem that is likely to affect my learning.

    According to the autobiography Hunger of Memory in the perspective of Richard Rodriguez, he gives an insight on the term ‘ghetto.’ ‘Ghetto’ in his view can be interpreted as a minority group. I believe this is what Rodriguez was trying to describe because in the text he uses the word towards a classroom while students are wandering off in his lecture except one student. He compares the student who is attentive to his lecture to himself in his childhood years for the determination to learn. As the girl nods, raises her hand to answer questions, and even takes notes, he relates the similarities between them for the anxiousness to improve in their education and gain knowledge.…

    Going to a new school is hard for any child; unfamiliar places can be intimidating, new people can be unapproachable and the more advanced classes may even seem impossible. It is a very big social change that forces children to get out of their comfort zone and let new people into their personal bubble, because after all no one wants to be completely alone in this scary, dark world: everybody wants to belong. Fitting in can be more difficult if the child does not speak the same language as the people around them. Making friends and communicating becomes almost impossible until the child learns the language that they have been submerged into.…

    You need support and understanding to become an effective learner. You can motivate yourself to study hard constantly by writing down your goals; motivation is emerging from many external factors such as external relationships.

For example, if you are trying to solve problems without any support; it will take a lot of time to solve on your own or ends up with guessing. Guessing is not precise information; that is not really helpful in learning.…

Children’s socioeconomic status, can negatively impact their social, emotional, and educational wellbeing; therefore, the education they receive is the key to success. Educators carry the responsibility to identify the child in need, in order to help educate the student and their families, by providing them the hope, guidance, and structure needed in order to meet their unique needs.

    o Personal Support: This type of support is found from one’s own self and their academic abilities. In my classroom, I would use this by letting the children know how well they have done on a spelling test or giving them positive words of wisdom like “good job” “I’m proud of you”. o Natural Support: This support is given through parents and friends. In my classroom, I make sure to build positive relationships with my parents. I envision having opportunities for parents to come into the classroom to read stories or help out with a project.…

    Although many educators never really think about it, philosophy plays a big role on how they choose to educate. Philosophy can be defined as “the general beliefs and attitudes of an individual or group and the body of principles underlying a branch of learning or major discipline” (Moore, 1988). Appling philosophical ideas helps educators to clarify what the purpose is of teaching a subject and why they are teaching it. “Behaviorist adult education focuses on behavioral modification, learning through reinforcement, and instructional management by objectives.” (Buckingham, 2000).…

    Emotionally supportive classroom environments are crucial for students. Bullard (2017) noted that high quality climates assist children to feel safe, increase positive behavior, and reduce absenteeism. There are many areas that are addressed in the environmental assessment in which teachers can nurture an emotionally supportive classroom. The “Circle of Courage” describes four needs (the need to belong, to achieve mastery, to be independent, and to be generous) that if met children are encouraged and feel a sense of purpose. When some or all of these needs are not met, children become discouraged, lacking a sense of purpose.…

    I think that teacher’s private lives should remain as private and away from their professional lives as they can manage. Yet I do not think it is right for a principal or office worker to act any differently to a teacher’s personal life. Any individual has the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” so if a teacher is fired or asked to resign due to sexual orientation, personal beliefs, or religion it is wrong and I do not believe that is constitutionally right. Therefore teacher’s lives should not be placed under any more public examination than the lives of other professionals. 4)…
