For my second TQS reflection, I focused on number #4, Establishing Inclusive Learning Environments. The way I have been aiming to achieve this TQS goal is by taking note of details of students in the classroom. I have taken note of who may show problems in behavior, students who may be left without a partner in PE, or students who are more pulled back and quiet. I have been trying different strategies such as positive comments on achievement to the quieter students, trying to be an active listener for students who want to share their stories with me, and even being a partner to the students in PE who were left without a partner to ensure they feel seen and included. I hosted a basketball tournament to end my PE unit and gave out “MVP” awards. I chose students who I noticed were working hard and that I haven’t gotten the chance to interact with as much as I know how special it feels when you receive recognition. While this TQS goal is a career-long initiative, I felt happy that I was able to try and target being aware of emotional and mental health needs and using effective classroom management strategies to promote a positive learning environment.
