try and make the atmosphere in the school for safe and more of a family relationship to make the students and faculty feel secure when they come to campus. I would try and make sure I have a strong relationship with all my staff because I think that is going to be the base for anything we try to accomplish; having a great relationship to work together and get along. Overall, I want to try and strengthen my relationship with the students and teachers in order to make the school run more smoothly and make the high school a place where we all want to be

Consequences and rewards are a huge part about being a teacher and though I don't like to always be strict with the students, having them understand that there are good and bad consequences depending on the choices they make. In my future classroom and present classroom, I have 10 rules: 1. Arrive rested and ready with supplies ready to learn. 2. Raise your hand to speak. 3. Follow directions the first time they are given. 4. Treat others with kindness. 5. Use good manners like "please" and "thank you". 6. Keep your hands, feet, and bodies to ourselves. 7. Use your inside voice inside and walking feet in the classroom. 8. Keep the classroom clean. 9. Share. 10. Have FUN! When in the classroom, the students can either receive rewards, for good behavior, or consequences for bad behavior. Rewards:Class Dojo: Some rewards that I have seen and started for my kiddos in 1st grade is first class dojo. Class dojo is a great way to give the kids points for good behavior when participating, being helpful, staying on task, and more. Getting a certain number of points can be rewarded with special prizes like the far left picture. Class dojo can also be used to deduct points for bad behavior for messing around or getting off task, etc. Sticker Charts and Prize Box: Something else that I recently started with my students is having a sticker chart for them. Each day of the week (leading up to Thursday since I don't come on Fridays) the students are able to earn a sticker for their choices and behavior during the time I am there between 11:50-1:20. Listening to directions, helping others, being happy and kind, working hard, and more are things that they can do to earn a sticker. If by the end of the week they have earned all 4 stickers for Monday-Thursday then they get a chance to choose a prize from the prize box which includes Air Heads, Starbursts, Laffy Taffy, Pencils, Erasers, and Plato. If the students do not earn a sticker or get it taken away for the day then they cannot receive a prize at the end of the week. This helps the students to stay on task and work towards that goal of getting a prize on Thursday. They look forward to it every week!!! I also reward good behavior by leaving a "good behavior" award on their desks during specials so they can return to see that they were good and I noticed! Consequences:I believe that you get more of what you focus on. If you focus your energy on what’s going well and on the good choices you see, more and more of this will start happening in your classroom. Make sure to give logical consequences to your students and teach them to follow your expectations as you recite them constantly.
