2a.
Displaying the daily schedule on the board is an effective way to organize, allocate, and manage time, space, and attention in the classroom. The schedule provides a clear structure for the day, helping students anticipate transitions and stay on task. It also ensures that each subject gets an appropriate amount of time. It is placed in a visible location where all students can see it, but it is off to the side so it is not distracting. If unexpected changes arise, it can be easily modified to include those changes.

Seating in small circles can make discussions or group activities more concise and focused because fewer people are involved. With fewer people in the circle, individuals can more easily manage their own time and attention, leading to more productive and focused interactions within a shorter time span. small circles provide a more personalized, focused, and efficient environment for managing time, space, and attention. The setup encourages active participation, clearer communication, and stronger connections within a group, all while optimizing the use of space.

Privacy Partitions supports students who need help maintaining focus during independent work. With fewer distractions, students can concentrate more fully on their task at hand. The clear physical boundary signals that it’s time to work independently, helping students mentally shift into focus mode.
2b. Manages individual and class behaviors through a well planned management system.
This is done using a PBIS application. The Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) reward app plays a crucial role in managing individual and class behaviors by providing an effective system that reinforces positive actions in students. The app operates through a point-based system that rewards students for demonstrating key positive behaviors such as responsibility, active learning, safety, and respecting others. Whenever students exhibit these positive behaviors, they earn points through the app. This instant feedback is a powerful motivator, reinforcing the idea that positive actions lead to rewards and recognition. The more points students accumulate, the greater the opportunity for them to earn rewards.

Behavior Bingo meets this criterion by providing a structured and engaging classroom management system that reinforces positive behavior. The system encourages ongoing good behavior rather than relying on one-time rewards. Students are motivated to follow class rules consistently to contribute to the class goal. Because it’s a collective effort, students work together to achieve a Bingo, fostering teamwork and peer accountability.

2c. Conveys high expectations to all students.
Conveying high expectations to all students is essential for creating an environment where students feel motivated and supported to reach their full potential. The STAR Student poster provides a clear, visual reference for students to understand the behaviors that are expected of them. By listing these expectations in a simple and organized manner, it eliminates any ambiguity and ensures that students know exactly what is required. S.T.A.R. Expectations remind students to practice Safety First, Taking Responsibility, Active Learning, and Respecting Others, which align with the PBIS point system.

2d. Respects students' cultural linguistic and family background.
Respecting students' cultural, linguistic, and family backgrounds is a crucial aspect of creating an inclusive and supportive classroom environment. One effective way to do this is by providing books in different languages. This approach not only honors the diversity of students but also promotes cultural awareness, empathy, and language development. When students see books that reflect their own culture and language, it shows them that their heritage is important and worthy of recognition in the classroom.

This artifact indicates that I model the skill of making my expectations transparent and understandable, which is crucial for both academic success and student engagement. This screenshot demonstrates that I effectively communicate expectations, both verbally and in writing and that my communication skills have been recognized and validated by others. It serves as evidence of my ability to model clear and effective communication in a professional setting.
2f. Maintains a climate of openness, inquiry, fairness and support.
By creating and asking critical thinking questions, students are encouraged to problem-solve and engage in thoughtful analysis to find creative solutions. By creating and asking critical thinking questions, I am directly fostering an environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and engage with the material on a deeper level. Critical thinking questions can allow all students to engage at their own level, providing fairness in terms of access to intellectual challenges.

2g. Integrates current information and communication technologies.
Videos utilize technology to present information in a dynamic, visual format. This engages students through audio-visual elements, making the content more accessible and memorable. Some students might learn better through visual and auditory methods rather than traditional reading or lectures. Videos meet this need and create a more inclusive learning environment. Videos can be used to explain complex concepts visually, reinforcing what students are learning in class. This specific video was on metamorphosis, which helped students connect what they have been learning in science.

2h. Adapts the learning environment to accommodate the differing needs and diversity of students while ensuring that the learning environment is consistent with s. 1000.071, F.S.
Adapting the learning environment to accommodate the differing needs and diversity of students is crucial for ensuring that every learner can succeed. One effective way to meet these needs is by using leveled readers, where each book is assigned a different Lexile level. The Lexile framework measures a student's reading ability and the difficulty of texts, ensuring that books are tailored to match the student's current reading skills. Students were placed into centers based on their level of reading and a leveled reader was used based on their skill.

2i. Utilizes current and emerging assistive technologies that enable students to participate in high-quality communication interactions and achieve their educational goals.
A translator app can be a valuable assistive technology for enabling students to participate in high-quality communication interactions and achieve their educational goals in a variety of ways. A translator app helps students who speak a language different from the primary language of instruction communicate effectively. It allows these students to engage in classroom discussions, follow instructions, and access learning materials without feeling excluded. Students who are English language learners (ELLs) or students with limited proficiency in the language of instruction can use the app to translate spoken or written content into a language they are more comfortable with. This aids in comprehension and enhances their ability to communicate effectively.

2j. Creates a classroom environment where students are able to demonstrate resiliency.
Promoting a Growth Mindset. Students are taught that their abilities can improve with effort and practice, making them more likely to approach future challenges with resilience. Displaying the class data in a visible way can strongly support the development of a growth mindset by reinforcing the idea that abilities can improve with effort and practice. Posting data allows students to see their gradual growth, not just final achievements. For instance, showing how class averages improve on assignments over time reinforces that everyone is capable of growth, not just the high achievers. If the class as a whole is improving their average score on assignments, students are less likely to focus on individual failures. Instead, they’ll see that even collective growth comes from persistence. This can help reduce fear of failure and encourage a focus on long-term growth. By displaying class data, students are provided with a concrete, visual representation of how effort leads to growth. It helps to reinforce the idea that abilities are not fixed and that everyone can improve through practice and perseverance. This approach not only boosts students’ motivation but also helps them embrace challenges as opportunities for learning and growth.
