Goal: Having an inclusive environment is one of my main goals and is a big part of my teaching philosophy. I want to create a safe space for learning that is secure on all levels—physical, social, cultural, and psychological (TQS 2c, 4a, 4c, 4d, 4g, 5b). This will also establish a polite and moral learning environment that inspires students to take chances, develop trust, value diversity, gain confidence, and demonstrate leadership (TQS 4a, 4g, 5b, 5c). 

Strategies: Having an inclusive environment is quite important, and I want to be able to do that by showing my students that they can come to me with whatever they are comfortable sharing and there will be no judgement to show them it is a safe space. 

Reflection: This was my main goal, I became a safe space where students could come to me with trust. As explained in my teaching philosophy, I was able to become a person in their class they could look up to and see that for them there is a place for them too, whether it is a teacher in a classroom or a CEO of a company, they could do it.
