I will create this environment through an engaging curriculum, personable interaction, topic orientated discussions, and group work. Since my license will include an endorsement in Special Education my classroom management will include a focus on flexibility defined as the ability to respond to the moods, emotions and the capabilities of my students on any given day.

The students are aware that the expectations and goals are valuable to all of us, students and teacher.
Unit: M/503/1232 No. 7 Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships in Lifelong Learning Criteria: 3 Write a report detailing how you would ensure the safety of learners and a supportive environment implemented. 3.1 Explain how to establish and maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. In a learning environment it is important for learners to feel safe and need to be able to look to their teacher as being a role model. There are always going to be rules for the safety of the class and dance classes are no exception.
Also teachers need to make sure all the equipment the learners will be using during the course is safe for them to use. Ground Rules. When starting the course, a teacher should make sure they create a safe environment in the classroom: this means making sure everybody is comfortable with everybody else and nobody is trying to bully anyone. When working with adult learners it could be better to have ‘commonly agreed ground rules’ so they can agree with each point and find elements to discuss. This is good because when they get to decide the ground rules it’s more unlikely that they are going to break them.

A critical evaluation of an aspect of the inclusive practices, evidenced in the case study (which will be provided), with specific reference to your own practice during school placement and your wider reading? Our understanding of diversity is broad – it encompasses gender, race, age, disability, cultural background and so much more. Inclusive practice is understood to be attitudes, approaches and strategies taken to ensure that students are not excluded or isolated from the learning environment because of any of these characteristics. As a teacher, my role is to ensure that all students feel welcome, accepted, safe, listened to, valued and feel confident that they can participate in all activities. Every child should be given every opportunity
Self Management The students should be made aware of what their responsibilities are and exactly what is expected of them. When students are confronted with precise responses and required behaviors, it allows them to build a framework or foundation for everything they will encounter for that particular year. They are given tools to govern their work, their play, their interactions with other students, their teachers and staff. They know who they are, where they belong, what role they play, and have an understanding of their individual importance in the bigger picture of school, home and life. This knowledge provides immense security and a sense of well-being.
