Chapter #2

Chapter twos focus was similar to a lot of information that we are daily given in other classes in the education department.  It is plain as day to education majors that there are a numerous teaching styles at our disposal. What is most important is to implement many of them into our classrooms to give the students the best opportunity to succeed.  It is imperative to make sure that the classroom environment feels safe and welcoming for the students as well.  If students to do not feel comfortable or safe in the classroom how can they be expected to learn?  A teachers competency in their subject matter is probably one of the most, if no the most vital area in making a student feel safe in the classroom.  Students want to know that the teacher they are learning from knows their information, or where to get it.  They want to be treated fairly, and they want the teacher to be a reliable person because they sometimes see them as much if not more than some of their parents throughout the day.  As a teacher it will be important to realize just how many the students are really depending on me, and that it will take careful planning, and the continuance of my education to give all of them the best education I can possibly give them.
